In an honesty offensive: MIN

How come? Wake up! c/birdsarentreal

This package of bagels I bought expired on a date that doesn't exist. (i.imgur.com)

I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.

lugal,

That can’t be it either since 2902 isn’t a leap year so it only has about a dozen months

lugal,

It would be bad if it didn’t end with the punchline

lugal,

Is it pronounced gimp or jimp?

lugal,

So you see: the path goes on for your whole life

lugal,

When the program is free, it’s socialism. The more free the program is, the more socialism it is. When the source is free, it’s communism.

lugal,

It’s all a social construct. It exists because and as long as we all agree on it. So it’s flexible and not set in stone, nor scientifically falsifiable

lugal,

The thing is that the botanical definition of berries doesn’t match perfectly with the everyday definition. That doesn’t make the latter wrong, it just has other applications

lugal,

I could try to but I don’t need to. The fact that you could easily name some fruits that aren’t berries is proof enough that you have a concept of what a berry is and what isn’t. Coming up with a definition would be the next step.

So I agree that “definition” is the wrong word. I should have said “concept”. Besides: what’s wrong with definitions that are just a list of elements?

lugal,

It’s intelligent to know that tomatoes are fruits and it’s wise not to put then into a fruit salad

lugal,

And the concept of a vegetable varies culturally. I live in Germany and I consider mais vegetables (it feels weird to call it corn in this context since other grains aren’t). In Romania (and elsewhere I guess) potatoes are a vegetable which they aren’t for me.

lugal,

Absolutely! Potatoes, grains (except mais) and legumes (except green beans) are carbs (or staples). Polenta is too, despite being made of mais.

I thought that’s the default?

Me to the pet rat on my crotch: Don’t worry, he will never suspect anything

lugal,

People, including me, are just jealous.

I didn’t downvote but I’m jealous

lugal,

I don’t have the comparison but before covid people were doing all kind of stuff on their laptops in university. I remember a guy who watched star trek during a lecture and said “the lecture is being recorded, I can watch it later”. Then he watched that lecture during a lecture that wasn’t recorded.

lugal,

I can confirm this

lugal,

Sad that people seek parental advice in a video game community because they have no where else to ask this

lugal,

I’m on lemmy for a while now and this is the most American centric comment I have seen so far. There are authoritarian governments that used the pandemic to do shit but all stopped sooner or later. And many governments, left or right or what ever, overreacted at the start.

lugal,

There is no glory in prevention

lugal,

Ich sehe was du tatest hier

lugal,

In a German quizz show, there was the question how to pronounce it and not everyone know

lugal,

I love that it’s just one element of a list
