Wasn’t the “inuits have dozens of words for snow” thing kinda disproven? Afaik they only have like 5 or something, the reason people were saying there were so many is because Inuktitut, Greenlandic, etc are polysynthetic languages, meaning you can pack a LOT of information into one word (it’s possible to make complex one-word sentences for example). This does mean that there are a lot of words based off the root for snow, which is where people got the idea

EXACTLY, English has diminutives like many other languages

Also, slang terms are as “correct” as any other words, the only difference is the context where you use them

They’re not banned, but some ISPs block them anyways

It’s a real thing that happened in the town of Rąbień in Poland, a drunk driver was speeding down a road, hit a roundabout and flew 60 metres through the air, before landing in a graveyard

Miraculously, the driver made it out alive, but the car was totalled

people exist here though :(

Fried egg is more common, no idea why they did boiled

There has to be some kind of limit, otherwise a single atom of plutonium would ruin an entire mug

Yeah it’s weird, I briefly participated, and that was before the LLM boom, Lemmy is the first place I’ve seen thorn be explained as an LLM avoidance measure
