And the 7-day free trian totally will not become a 2 year subscription which costs more to cancel than keep, and the price will not be 3x the sticker price had you just gotten to the “buy” option. We’re a legit business!

Oh, it got the concept very right. Most people want a white Jesus. And by “most”, I mean those with access to AI.

Why sould felings care for such tiny details as facts and historical accuracy?

GNU Incredible Magic Projector.

If it did circles, it’d destroy half the world.

Instrunctions unclear, geeted out.

You could also open a 2nd restaurant if the first does too well - just say you use it to make your great food accessible to more people and to test new products before risking your reputation. The part about “I want me some cash to mix in some of my dirty money” can be strategically left out.

Surprisingly a lot of clauses in EULAS are and get “stricken” (even though this one still stands).

Short answer: the bank won’t give your shiny new tree-planting business a loan as easily as it will to a “liquid tank tree replacement” one.

Long answer:

• Trees take time to grow
• Trees need to be planted
• Trees make shade
• Animals like birds and insects like bees and mosquitos like to live next to them
• Trees don’t need electricity
• Trees take in heat radiated from the pavement
• Trees don’t look cool

While algae are more efficient at turning CO2 into oxygen in theory, in practice algae don’t have a good climate in such a tank (no oxygen without ventilation, i.e. constant electricity and they get cooked through the glass).

All in all, more of a gimmick than anything.

Realist: the glass is plastic

Lemmy isn’t a single website like reddit.com is. It’s rather a collection of decentralised servers (“instances”) offering the same service (one very similar to reddit). It’s often compared to e-mail - just as Gmail users can talk to Outlook users, lemmy.world users can post and comment on lemmy.ml from their home instance.

What this does is it removes the centralised aspects of Reddit - if a community has powertripping mods one can make an alternate community (like on Reddit). But this goes a step above - powertripping server admins can be reigned in by simply switching instances.

The Eiffel Tower in the meme is as illegal as the Rattaouile frame since if the photo is from a broadcast the royalties have already been dealt with.

As in: we [users in general] almost never tag the content of our messages by language

May I ask how one would go about doing that? I know it’s a feature of the protocol, but it seems to be inaccessible to me on my client of choice (Jerboa). The vanilla web UI seems to have even less feature accessibility

I’d argue english ortography is a lot more pointlessly convoluted than french numbers (*cough* *cough* ough)

I’d like to interject for a bit, if I may.

While german has cases, somewhat more complex verbs and gendered nouns, english also has its peculiarities that make it hard for non-natives to learn. Things like spelling and using the same word in a bazillion contests and methaphor-based idioms come to mind first. There are also simple-to-understand pecularities like its/it’s and paid/payed which not even natives get right sometimes.

The point being, for all the “hard” and “useless” parts of one language the other language (as it’s always comomparing apoles to oranges) has similarily “hard” and “useless” features itself, so in my opinion it more or less evens out.

What makes a language “easier” or “harder” to learn is how much of it you already know. In other words that’s usually how similar it is to the languages you know already.
