As a German myself who tried to learn French a while ago, I gave up because that language has the same issue, but the genders for nouns are different and I just can’t be bothered to memorize two different genders for every noun 💀

I thought this said “cannabis”, and I was so confused lol

I think the web novel Worm does this really well. I recently got it recommended to me and am enjoying it immensely! :)

she*, pls & thank :)

Here’s the original meme:

I kinda wish there was a Lemmy community for Loss edits.

(if there is, I haven’t found it)

I just rewatched the scene on YT, and he’s actually just a bit too late, and her head slams into the ground with full force.

As a German, I’m pretty sure they’re right. Look into glottal stop, it’s not really a long pause or anything. Think of the difference of the connection of “Spiegel” and “ei” in Spiegelei, and “Schreiner” and “ei” in Schreinerei. It’s this short contraction that stops airflow and then releases it again, and it’s present at the beginning of the “ei” in Spiegelei, but not in Schreinerei.

Here’s also the IPA pronunciations from Wiktionary:

Spiegelei: [ˈʃpiːɡl̩ˌʔaɪ̯]

Schreinerei: [ʃʁaɪ̯nəˈʁaɪ̯]

ʔ is the symbol for the glottal stop: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glottal_stop

I do this as well, but with a fork.

I wonder if there’s anyone eating knife only?

I haven’t watched this video, but I do wanna point out that this channel also made a video called “vegan diets don’t work”, which was full of correlation = causation, cherry picking or straight up misrepresenting data, and just generally going against the scientific consensus on several key issues in that video.

I’m strapped for time, so I’ll just paste one of the comments under that video here:

Veganism is not healthy because more than 50% of vegans quit -> following the same logic: exercising is not healthy because 90% of people quit after the first 3 months

• Bases knowledge of Western Prices almost century-old studies (1927 and 1939) instead of relying on the most recent state-of-the-art studies

• Refined foods = Veganism (folowing this logic, white bread is only eaten by vegans)

• Netherlands and Montenegro have the tallest people in the world and at the same time they drink a lot of milk, this is correlation and not causation.

• The study itself overlooked individuals and instead focused on average, this is an ecological fallacy. We could say the same about smoking, if you plot smoking and timespan per country we could say the more people smoke the longer their lifespan is, which is ridiculous.

See for yourself the remaining of the video, this continues on!

So probably take this one with a big grain of salt.

Ah right I forgot, socialism is when no phone
