I love how all Germanic languages can pull that stunt. Be it German, Swedish, Dutch, they all have this magic “turn a sentence into a single word” ability.

I know it’s a joke, but with the level of scrutiny Germany has attracted for its dark history there’s litle chance people wouldn’t have heard of it by now ;-)

You’d be surprised how many people don’t know the difference between being sore and having pain, but I digress. I never wanted to discuss semantics, just make a jokey comment about trading pain for discomfort. Forget I mentioned it.

I think there’s a non-zero percentage of people that confuse being sore with having unexplained pain. And there’s probably also another group of people that think they can excercise without being sore, given how lots of people exercise tout it as fixing all pain, which might set incorrect expectations.

Anyway, I am just sharing my own experiences.

To be fair though, the soreness from regular exercise is what you get in the tradeoff. I have both a regular cardio and strength program I run through every week (5 days of exercise) and a pretty active lifestyle (2 days of outdoor activities every week (hiking, mountainbiking, splitboarding,etc)) and I am generally sore at least somewhere in my body.

I know you’re being funny, but to answer the question I posited: every summer, after people came back from towing their caravans up through the mountains, my dad’s shop would be replacing loads of clutches with people complaining about the weird smells their car started making. Or the sudden trouble they had shifting.

On a steep hill, your clutch will thank you for using the handbrake. Especially in stop and go traffic towing a trailer. Ask me how I know.

Exactly. All the memes and stickers about letting the CEL stay on are funny, but if you don’t know what code is triggering the light, you are gambling with your car, or even your safety. Seriously people, get a CEL checked out, and then decide if you feel it’s worth fixing. Most auto parts stores, dealers, etc. will happily do it for you, often at no cost, but at least be an informed consumer instead of just hoping it will be okay.

Back before music piracy was a thing; because who’s going to download a 3-4MB file on a 14k4 modem? By the time you grab one song you’d have racked up such an internet bill you might as well have bought the single.

This is like asking why Logitech doesn’t make their own CPUs. The skillset required to make a popular front-end client are vastly different from building and maintaining a good backend system, not to mention the costs are vastly greater. It makes much more sense for the creators of these apps to take their skills in building front-ends and applying it to an existing succesful backend like Lemmy/the Fediverse.
