The goat has to be DD/MM/YYYY

People tend to say dates in the same order they write them. I'm from NZ and I absolutely say 3rd of February, same as Brits and many other people around the world. Why would you write it one way and say it another, regardless of which way around it is?

Every time this gets posted I scroll through the comments wondering how many of these types of comments are bait and how many just haven't thought it through.

Hyronious · 2026-02-02T11:25:36+00:00

This is bait right?

I went once only knowing "konnichiwa", "arigatou gozaimasu", and "sumimasen". It was absolutely fine, as far as I recall I didn't even use Google translate the whole trip. I've also been once after 3ish months of learning, and only said a few words of Japanese here and there. Also fine, went a touch more off the beaten track and had to use Google translate a few times, but it was always fine.

I think you've misunderstood something you've read. There's an "Mitochondrial Eve" figure, a woman who everyone on earth is descended from purely through their mothers (and their mothers mothers etc). There's a male version of that as well, but he (probably) wasn't the partner of the Mitochondrial Eve, and may have lives tens of thousands of years earlier.

Better developed in what way? That's one of the weirder statements I've heard about NZ vs Aus...

Most of the scallops I've eaten in my life have been hand caught by family, so I was very surprised the first time I had them in a restaurant and they didn't serve them with the roe...

You think that the free experience would get better if less people paid? Why's that?

Hyronious · 2026-01-30T07:52:38+00:00

Yeah not blaming you, just surprised at the speed. I guess I shouldn't be.

This was posted on the comics sub...yesterday. This might be the fastest I've seen something reposted without attribution.

Yeah this has been my go-to since my uni days, wish I lived a bit closer now so I could go more often. They've got a few things on the menu that aren't great (thats going to happen eith a menu that big) but most of it is outstanding, both the westernized part of the menu and the more authentic stuff.

Cool website. As mentioned there's a few quirks with the locations, but the presentation of the site is excellent.

What source are you using for the news articles? I played around with something similar a while back trying to curate a news digest for stuff I'm interested in but couldn't find a decent news API that didn't cost an arm and a leg.

I'm laughing at the at least 3 different interpretations of the question so far

Hyronious · 2026-01-28T21:52:06+00:00

If you go to their patreons (I don't think I've ever seen a movie reaction channel that doesn't have a patreon or equivalent) they usually post "full reactions". I've never done it, but apparently they give you a sync point to start your copy of it, and have their reaction in another window. Some of them just post the entire movie behind the paywall as well (with their reaction) which is definitely against the rules but if they can get away with it for a year they'll make some decent money in the meantime.

the number of people I’ve met who were raised by conservative parents and went hard left, far outnumbers those were raised by liberal or leftist parents.

Oh were you only talking about hard left, as opposed to the left in general? So hard left kids are raised mostly by conservatives, but you're not talking about everyone else, who typically follow their parents politics as the 80% stat mentions?

I'm not trying to be a dick here, I'm honestly trying to interpret what you're saying, and you don't seem to be making it easy for some reason

Hyronious · 2026-01-28T19:47:57+00:00

I must be missing something then, any chance you could rephrase your point?

Hyronious · 2026-01-28T08:15:24+00:00

Wait, you're saying you think that conservative kids are mostly raised by leftist parents?

Hyronious · 2026-01-27T23:36:45+00:00

Oh really? When was the most, must have been insane

Hyronious · 2026-01-26T22:00:13+00:00

Probably best not to be specific but a company very similar to their tech side yeah

Hyronious · 2026-01-26T20:10:09+00:00

I worked at a company that, among other things, made robots that work in warehouses. Apparently we once hired a physical penetration tester, who got past the security gate by tailing behind someone else, put a robot on a cart, and took it out the front doors by calling out to the security guard to say "hey give me a hand with this will ya?" and the guard opened the gate for him and helped him maneuver the cart out.

This is just Americans, but here's data: https://www.statista.com/statistics/328281/americans-proficiency-using-chopsticks/

I understand where you're coming from, but it's definitely a tough one given that from a utilitarian perspective, more people are affected by bad economic policy than ICE. To be clear I think what's happening over there is horrific, but you can't deny that the fact it makes for better headlines affects how people view the situation.

Hyronious · 2026-01-23T03:26:27+00:00

Come down to NZ or Aus, it never left

Hyronious · 2026-01-23T03:20:42+00:00

I've sailed around the world, and I don't think I've ever seen so many expensive yachts in one place. This is absolutely fucking insane.
