It’s funny how people here take memes really seriously and are offended that an AI could, in the future, create shitty memes.

Where? Not seeing it here.

It’s funny how

You sure you didn’t just come in here pre-loaded to be mad at people you conjured up?

I guess some way to change your mind is giving you a share of the money the gambling industry is paying for having this happen

Before it was outlawed, in my country some gambling website even paid to rename the league to “bet and win league”

It’s about how we can reach otherwise unreachable heights if we work together.

If I ever get a tattoo, it gonna be something utterly meaningless so I can make up really ridiculous stories of anyone asks about it.

A buddy of mine has an ominous shape tattooed on his forearm. It says ‘test tattoo please ignore’ next to it. I think it’s great.

What shape

RQG,
@RQG@lemmy.world avatar

It looks like a half circle, a triangle and some other squiggles mashed together. It is one closed outline. Hard to describe.

Kecessa,

My friend was in a class and the teacher said “People get tattoos with a signification, no one gets a tattoo of the word Panda just for the heck of it.”

So he got a tattoo of the word Panda to prove him wrong and the teacher called him an idiot for not seeing the irony of him getting that tattoo for a specific reason.

Cannacheques,

Boom

RQG,
@RQG@lemmy.world avatar

I think that’s a funny tattoo to have especially with that story.

Kecessa,

Yes it’s funny and the story too, he just didn’t prove the teacher wrong 😛

RQG,
@RQG@lemmy.world avatar

He didn’t change the teachers opinion. But imo the teacher was wrong to begin with.

Yeah i have mates who are covered head to toe, and some of their tattoos are just random crap. Especially when the they do flash sales and you can only pick fromba select list

arc, in Gambling is addictive

Gambling, alcohol, nicotine, and prescription medicine should all be banned from advertising. Sponsorship should count as advertising and thus be banned too.

saltesc, in Ohhh

I don’t get US spelling of “meter” for the metric system they don’t even use. My car dashboard is two meters wide. Speedometer and tachometer. It’s probably about half a metre wide.

I dunno what a kilometer would be. A device that can measure anything in thousands of something; weight, volume, speed, etc.

“The scale says you weigh 0.07 metric tonnes.”

“Oh my god, I’m so fat.”

“No, that’s only 70kg, it’s this stupid kilometer. Makes everything seem bigger than it is.”

UnverifiedAPK,

Well you have me- from proto-european which means to measure.

Then you have metrical (metricus/metrikos from Latin/Greek) that means to measure rhythm in poetry.

Mētrum/Metron again from Latin/Greek meaning “measure, length, size, limit, proportion”

Then “metre” which is originally a unit of length. Then you have a “metre stick” which is a stick used to measure a metre. You can blame the French for basically calling it a “measurement stick” but it refers to a very specific measurement.

Then you have the -or suffix in Latin which means “to have to do with” or “to pertain to”. Then that turns in to -re and -er in Old English.

And like everything else - Brittan used both for centuries before deciding one was “right” and everyone else is at fault for the other way (just like how “Soccer” is a British term). Famously Shakespeare used both -re and -er.

Lastly, the US uses the metric system for its professions. It’s layman’s terms that don’t use metric.

Viking_Hippie,

I dunno what a kilometer would be. A device that can measure anything in thousands of something; weight, volume, speed, etc

It’s the opposite. A kilometer is a thousand meters, a kilowatt is a thousand watts and a kilogram is a shitload of cocaine.

CyberEgg,

opens a german dictionary
it says „Meter“
shrugs

Viking_Hippie,

Now that you have it open, could you find a funny compound noun or two? I love those!

CyberEgg, (edited )

I’m German, I don’t need a dictionary for that. We make them up on the fly. For example, Autowaschanlagenführer or Türöffnungsmechanismuswartung

Viking_Hippie,

I remember a little German from it being mandatory in school here in Denmark where we also like compound nouns so imma give it a shot:

“Car wash hose boss” and “door opening mechanism maintenance”?

CyberEgg,

“door opening mechanism maintenance”

Yes

“Car wash hose boss”

Almost. „Car wash operator“ it is.

Psaldorn,
@Psaldorn@lemmy.world avatar

If I worked in a car wash I would demand to be called a hose boss

Viking_Hippie,

Same tbh 😂

rob64,

How about Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung? That’s my personal favorite, though it lacks umlauts.

Viking_Hippie,

I’m guessing that means speed limit? Nice 😂

Bene7rddso,

Yes

rob64,

Okay I’m curious. With Danish being a Germanic language, how much are you benefiting from cognates and the like when making your guesses?

Viking_Hippie,

Some. Danish isn’t as closely related to German as it is to Norwegian or Swedish, but there are a lot of similarities such as similar words. Danmark is mostly an even weirder than Dutch combination of German and English 😁

rob64,

Weirder than Dutch? I do not believe this.

Viking_Hippie,

I know it’s a tall order but I’m pretty sure it’s true. Danish is a really weird language 😄

Kecessa,

I think you need to rework that one bud.

Nepenthe,
@Nepenthe@kbin.social avatar

Because homonyms are the worst part of any language and Noah Webster agrees with me.

for the metric system they don’t even use.

British people will fund pirates to steal our measuring weights, only to convert themselves 200 years later and then act like the US doesn't have a single STEM field. And then drive by the mile for a pint of milk.
