Examples that Danish is the most confusing language for English speakers:

In Denmark, when washing machines are done, their displays write, "Slut!", which means "Finished".

When someone enters an elevator, the display changes to "I fart", which means "On the move".

Tourists have difficulty finding a nice WC, because the signs often say "Bad toilet", meaning "Bathroom and toilet".

In lobbies with multiple elevators, one sign may say, "Gods elevator", which means "Freight elevator".

I didn't know you could make a Cybertruck look uglier, but I learn new things every day
Ben Affleck understands AI better than like 80% of people I hear talking about it

I don't normally ask for this, but if you are concerned about #COVID19, please share my latest post with others. I'd like it to reach folks who AREN'T already COVID-aware.

I’ve Read 3,000 Studies About COVID: Here’s What You’re Ignoring That Could (Still) Harm You or a Loved One

I share some simple conclusions, along with over 100 links to research. My goal is to urge more awareness and commonsense caution.

After 15 months of hard work, my dad has finished this impressive model of Minas Tirith! It is 1.4 m high and entirely hand-made out of wood. One of the most time-consuming parts was manually engraving the bricks on all walls and buildings, but this was key to properly convey the huge size of the city. Everything was painted by hand, adding some wear and tear. For a behind-the-scenes look at how he built this check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Ywlc8ojjE

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

"If you're not on board with AI you're going to get left behind"

Boost if you'd like to be left behind and would consider paying extra for a life without this bullshit.

3k boost edit: everyone who said a variant of "why should I pay" is right, but the world is wrong.

@atpfm it looks like the quarter zip does NOT have pockets. Is that correct?
@RecDiffs @siracusa I have aphantasia and I’m also a subvocalizer (hearing the voice in my head when I read silently). Like you, I can’t imagine what not hearing the voice in your head is like but I also don’t understand “visualize X in your head.” I generally don’t think in images, I kinda think in concepts. How do I know that the person in my dream is my wife? She just… is. Which sounds crazy to most people but to me just is what it is. It also means that I’ve actually dreamed in code.
@overcastfm issue seems to have resolved itself within the last few minutes.
