You mean we can’t say anything bad about dumb ol’ Texas?

Well, they could expand tags beyond simply NSFW. A clear example would be “nudity” vs something like “violence”, but could be more specific like “nudity” vs “sexual” or “pornographic”

Picture a hot dog bun. And throw all the stars, the hundreds of stars that there are in the universe into a pack- into a bag. And put the universe into a bag and you, all of a sudden, they become

Shouldn’t sports have categories based on abilities? I see people be like “trans women are stronger than cis women cause, idk, testosterone or something” and I just think, y’know, if that’s a problem, why aren’t categories based on strength or abilities or whatever?

Wow, me first Removed comment on Lemmy! What do I do now?

It’s not stealing if you give it back afterwards

Tbh I just mostly be annoyed at how much US stuff makes it my way, even though I’ve never even set foot there. English became a lingua franca of sorts, and through the use of it online, I cannot avoid stumblin’ upon their news and, especially, politics. And sometimes I come to wonder if the (information-based) content I consume might be more relevant to US audiences, therefore rendering the information irrelevant to me.

I do have to give it to them, though, they do have good content online (or rather, content in English tends to be quite good, and in my opinion, unmatched in many languages of which I know and understand, for the number of YouTube channels I follow in any other language pales in comparison to the stuff in English (where are the non-English video essays, funny but sometimes also wise commentary videos, and interesting and sometimes quite fun videos on topics that might teach you a thing or two? (shout out to Ter and Jaime Altozano for the (less frequent) fun content that keeps my YouTube* feed the tiniest bit less English (and never makes me question if I actually like their content, as it’s usually great stuff))))

Also, United States of America? Cause… their country is made of states, and these are united? What are countries, if not states, united, after all? And… it’s in America, the continent, as well! Did they not come up with a better name? Almost reminds me of Monty Python’s witch scene, from The Holy Grail. “And what are countries made of?” " Land" “Churches” “States”. Who art thee, so wise in the ways of science?

They might not be confused, but if you’re not from the US, they’ll be wrong (spoiler: America is a continent, usually broken down into North, Central, and South America (and Latin America, for hispanic countries and Brazil. Other subcategorisations of “America” the continent might exist))

DID IT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE CRYING

Can someone more knowledgeable explain to me this? Why do certain security software require access to the kernel? To keep malware from getting to the kernel or something? Doesn’t restricting access to the kernel offer more security? Wouldn’t malware also be unable to access the kernel? Or is that not the case? (Kernel is what connects software and hardware, correct? Just to be sure)

I wonder the statistics of programming socks. Like, where did they come from? When? Why? What came first, the programming or the socks? Did they exist, or how popular were they back in, idk, 2000s? 90s? 80s? Actually, what even are programming socks? Maybe I should just research that, and look also into Google’s Trend for programming socks over the years. I mean, I’ve programmed, and wasn’t even aware of programming socks. Been programming in any way, shape, or form, for longer than I knew of programming socks, and I am young. Are they a trans thing? Or a femboy thing? Or are they actually a programmimg thing? How do these connect? What is the connection of factors that lead to programming socks? Are the socks in any way related to programming? What is the connection between the socks and programming? So many questions, so li

The Cube Rule of Food Identification

Given it uses OpenStreepMap (OSM), you can create an account on osm.org and add the address (and other information) yourself, if you want

Indeed. I created a Lemmy account the moment I saw an opportunity to block US-specific communities. But alas, US content makes it onto other, more general communities as well (like politics on the memes community)

It’s stone dead pining for the fjords

FTFY

Is there nothing that can be done about it? Maybe have some sort of community to find smaller communities. Maybe people just don’t know (and maybe don’t look for or find) there’s a community they might like
