  • Yes, German dialects can vary greatly for example here’s the same sentence “I have an apple.” in different German dialects:

    Standard German:

    “Ich habe einen Apfel.”

    Northern German / Platt:

    “Ik hab en Appel.”

    Middle German / Saxonian:

    " 'sch’habm Abbl." ( 'sch is pronounced like sh)

    Southern German / Bavarian & Austrian:

    “I hob an Opfü.” (I is pronounced like the single letter E)

    The Southern Germans are the ones with the Schwarzenegger accent.

  • Haha no problem. We all are nerds around here, otherwise we’d probably be using Instagram and TikTok (and Reddit).

    Funny back story: I first learned about Unicode around 2013 - 15 (I always judge those wrong in terms of when I started using certain apps/sites)… Back then people would start commenting shit on YouTube using emoji but Firefox hadn’t introduced emoji support yet, causing them to be displayed as Unicode strings which lead to comments looking like this: “Hahaha, haven’t laughed like this in ages U+1F602 Best video ever U+2764”














  • I do think a lot of the users here on Lemmy you’d normally refer to as “Liberals” are actually siding with the Palestinian civilians in this matter and not with Israel (from what I have seen over the last weeks)

    Even a lot of the beehaw folks seem to be upset with how Israel is behaving. Source: this post

    So, are these now Liberals or not, comrade Lemmygrader?
