I went on a 2 week holiday earlier this year and I barely took a single picture lol
That’s definitely the case since I can’t read Chinese lol
That’s super interesting! I barely know any Chinese and probably just assumed the characters were for language instead of numbers.
The public transit system used arabic numbers (maybe as well as the Chinese characters?), so at least that was easy to navigate lol
When I went to China about 5 years ago, all the numbers were Arabic numbers. Not sure if this is a regional thing, or if this is a more recent development.
Idk, I feel like Lemmy has way more dank memes than Reddit. Also more boomer memes.
A catapult can buy many peanuts
That’s perfectly fine, I use soap because I eat meat and my gf is vegetarian so I don’t want to leave any grease. Also I find soap just makes it a bit easier to clean.
Dude, you’re not supposed to scrape off the seasoning every time you wash the pan. I reapply a bit of oil maybe once or twice a year. I normally just wash it some soap and water after cooking.
If you leave it on too long it starts to melt the frying pan lol
I used to have an old electric stove that you had to turn on before you even started to chop vegetables, but then you could turn it off and it would stay at the melting point of tungsten for an hour.
Those “elf houses” is actually a more recent thing we do for tourists. But according to folk belief, the elves live inside certain rocks and cliffs. Some road constructions have been derailed because an elf rock was in the way and the people were having none of that.
I slept in my car on public rest stops while on a road trip in Norway.
IIRC you can sleep in your car there for two nights, which I never ended up doing anyway because I was travelling.
Public rest stops are amazing, there’s usually pretty clean toilets, benches for picnics and sometimes even showers or a lake to bathe in.
This is just the Euro NCAP guidelines, not actual EU regulation, but still a positive development.
And I agree that the EU have been on an amazing streak lately, they seem to be the only governing body actually fighting for consumer rights.
Icelandic folklore doesn’t have fairies, we have elves.
Also there’s some very disturbing Icelandic cryptids, like Jólakötturinn, a giant cat that eats children on Christmas, and Nykur, a backward-hoofed horse that hypnotizes you to ride it and then it walks you into the sea.
And who is more likely to value historical artefacts than the culture they originated from? Truth is, the British have frequently lost or damaged priceless artefacts, and thousands of them are locked away in vaults where no one can enjoy them. How is that better than simply giving them back?
The UI of Youtube is actually not bad. What is bad is how the search function has gone to shit, constant promotion of youtube Shorts taking up half the screen, and the algorithm getting steadily worse at recommending videos.
The interface itself is pretty easy to navigate.
I always read it as an Ð, which is am Icelandic letter. It kinda sounds like the “th” in “the”, so I read it as “Thisney”
Yeah but I ran out of those unfortunately. The ones I have left get a drop of moisture and the glue completely dissolves
Sure, I guess we don’t need writers, painters, visual artists, musicians and filmmakers. I mean, what do they do really, enrich our culture and move our souls? Pff, AI can do that easily.
