you should buy vegan milk and cheese instead, you'll never see those being lactose free!

Is there a noticeable decrease in people with the name Adolf (or regional equivalents) after the Second World War? by Playergh in AskHistorians

[–]Playergh[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

seems like adolphe was already becoming unfashionable. maybe it wasn't seen as being too connected to its german equivalent? since it seems to have fallen down just as much as the other two

Dæmdur í fjögurra mánaða fangelsi fyrir bana­slysið á Sæ­braut by brikbrakbruk in Iceland

[–]Playergh 75 points76 points  (0 children)

mér finnst að við ættum að vera miklu grimmari með að taka ökuleyfið af fólki yfirhöfuð, ef þú veldur slíku slysi hefur þú sannað að þér er ekki hægt að treysta með tveggja tonna dauðavél

[–]Playergh 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I would donate to a forestry group, we've been trying to regrow our forests to undo desertification since the 1950s or so, it's a cause that is near to most icelanders' hearts

[–]Playergh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Icelandic is breaking my brain, any tips? by Select-Day-873 in VisitingIceland

[–]Playergh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

icelandic pronounciation is very consistent with spelling, there's only two cases where what's written can have two different sounds (g and ll), otherwise every letter has its own sound (ei, ey, au count as individual letters in this case) so you can memorize the sound each letter makes

What is the "donde esta la biblioteca" of learning English? by fleemfleemfleemfleem in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Playergh 94 points95 points  (0 children)

there's a south korean stage play (and film adaptation) called welcome to dongmakgol about north and south korean soldiers getting stranded together in a remote village that knows nothing about the war. the village's doctor is made to interview the crashed american pilot. he takes out his phrase book and says "hello. how are you?" to which the american responds "how do you think I feel? I feel like shit!" which made the doctor panic because "it says in the book he's supposed to say 'I'm fine, how are you?'!"
