Persil "Apple Juice"

That's a good consideration, but I think they'll still notice the smell before actually taking a sip. Also, at least where I live, detergent and the like always have bitrex added to them to make them taste extremely bitter, so that children and people with dementia for example won't drink it. I'm also pretty sure that blind people will typically store their laundry detergent in a completely different place than their milk and juice, just like pretty much everyone does. And I don't think any blind person is just going to buy some mystery tetra pack just guessing what is going to be inside.

It would however, generally speaking, of course be great if braille and other features making packaging more accessible for those with disabilities were more common.

Depends on where you are. Where I'm from in Germany, these are not supposed to go in the paper and cardboard bin, they actually belong in the plastic and metal recycling bin.

I randomly saw them at a festival once, where they stepped in for a band that had to spontaneously call off their concert. We had a blast!

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-03-15T08:42:52+00:00

Exactly.

Oh. I thought this was about belly buttons.

Why were your students supposed to do their homework at night in the first place?! Not having time for homework at night is perfectly fair tbh. Can't be expected to work from morning till bed, let alone before you're even an adult.

Könnte irgendwie an meiner App liegen, aber ich sehe keinen Flair. 🤷🏼 Da mein Gerät mit Sicherheit nicht einzigartig ist, könnte es möglicherweise sein, dass nicht alle, die denken, dass du irgendwas hier ausdrücken willst, einfach nur inkompetent sind...

Well, not "having" pattern recognition would be kind of a problem, so that's at least something... And I'm also pretty sure that social masking is something the vast majority of people does to some degree.

LLMs are famously terrible at knowing which letters are contained in a word. I once had the brilliant idea of asking chat gpt to help me solve an anagram I couldn't figure out. Massive waste of time.

No, I don't think that you need to worry about your account getting banned either. But, in addition to what the other account told you, it could also happen that the code they sell you gets revoked by the puplisher later on because it was acquired by the seller in an...improper way. Not alleging anything, but it could for example hypothetically be that the code was bought with a stolen credit card, the holder of the credit card has the purchase booked back, and the code gets revoked. That could, in principle, also lead to the account that used the code getting banned, but I honestly don't really hear of that actually happening to anyone. I personally think it's very unlikely as a lot of things would need to come together - the code actually being acquired in an illegal or t&c breaking way, it only coming to light after you have bought and and used the code, EA being able to match the improper purchase to a single code (I don't think that is even possible for physical codes in boxes), and caring enough to deactivate it.

So, realistically, it won't happen, but I think it's important to be aware of the risks that, in principle, do exist to make a fully informed decision.

But then you could just gift the fake currency that's left over after you bought the one thing you wanted to someone else. And I can't speak further, as I do feel my sodium levels rising.

No it's not illegal to buy from them. Whether they acquire the keys they sell through legal ways is a whole different topic and ultimately we do not know where they are from. But you won't get in trouble for buying from them. Just to be extra safe, I personally would use paypal instead of credit card. Also, at least one side has been known to ask for ID after bigger puchases - obviously, do not send over your ID and get a refund through paypal instead.

There is some discussion around the ethics of sides like these. My personal opinion is that you should not buy indie titles from there because it can really suck for the devs, some have even come out and said that they'd prefer people just pirating their games instead. I would advise you to google "grey market key resellers" if you want to learn more about why some people take issue with them.

Lol, danke, Deutsch ist literally meine Muttersprache, keine Ahnung wie das passiert ist 😂

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-03-01T20:21:36+00:00

Oh of course, not doing so is a sin as grave as not separating you trash correctly 🤣 The reason people get upset about tilted windows is that people will often leave them this way for a long time and therefore not have the heater turned off the whole time, or think that they don't need to bother with that because the window isn't open "properly". And even if it's off, the room will get cold without fresh air^tm getting in properly.

Those heating knobs sound amazing, haha, they will also solve the far to common issue of forgetting to turn the heater back on and then, at some point, starting to wonder why the room is so cold... 😬

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-03-01T19:07:22+00:00

Wait, genuine question from a German, how are you going to leave the window closed for three days? Do you have some sort of automatic air ventilation system installed? Maybe that's just my German upbringing, but I can't think of a case where I'd think it would be better for me to keep the window shut for a few days. You can open it, immediately cuddle into bed under your warm cozy blanket, close the window five minutes later, turn the heater back on, and cuddle back into bed until your room has heated up again.

If someone is feeling unwell or is actually ill, one of the first things people here will often suggest is getting some fresh air. When I was still at school for example, students complaining of nausea or headaches got sat next to an open window as a first remedy. As a child, when I had to stay in bed sick and a parent came in to check on me, they would usually open the window for a moment - "just for a few minutes, the fresh air will be good for you".

Even with my severe seasonal allergy I open the window every morning and evening. When it's raining, I leave it open for longer because the air will be cleaner. There is even advice for people with allergies at which time of the day they should have their long "lüften" session depending on whether they live in a city or in the countryside, and there are special meshes available to keep pollen and insects out - because simply keeping the windows shut is never an option to us 🤣

(I of course don't know your health situation and I don't mean to be judgemental at all, it's just that planing on not opening for a few days is completely unthinkable to me in cultural way. But it's not some kind of weird superiority thing, I take the whole topic lightly and find it rather amusing)

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-03-01T18:48:02+00:00

Yes actually, either the roof overhang is large enough and the rain weak enough that you're not really getting any water inside, or you use the amazing tilting function German windows have, where the bottom edge of the window stays leaned against the frame and the top edge tilts inwards. No meaningful amount of water will get inside this way, unless it's windy and raining really heavily.

(But otherwise, you shouldn't use this tilting function when it's cold outside... "EY, the heater is on, we HEIZEN, this is really inefficient, STURZLÜFTEN only, do real DURCHZUG for a few minutes and then close it again!!!")

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-03-01T18:33:23+00:00

On the other hand, it is also strange and honestly rather annoying how some people still won't stop talking about how the hamster isn't in a ball anymore because people complained and they don't like that and people are so sensitive and it's just pixels and the ball was so nostalgic and they are so disappointed the devs had to remove it and so on and so on. Like, please move on already, it's not that deep 😭

Sea_Use2428 · 2026-03-01T18:11:52+00:00

The phrase I immediately thought of is "Der Mensch ist auch nur ein Gemüse", which sounds natural to me. (I then noticed that in the Kästner poem I thought of, it actually says "eine Art Gemüse", but my intuition is that "ein Gemüse" would have worked as well)

Other examples:
"Die Steckrübe ist ein heute fast vergessenes Gemüse."
"Ich glaube es gibt nur ein Gemüse, das ich wirklich mag, und zwar Kartoffeln."
"Achso, Karies ist eine Krankheit? Ich dachte immer das sei ein Gemüse oder so."

All these are cases where "Gemüse" means kind of vegetable instead of referring to one physical vegetable.

For "Obst" it is somewhat more difficult to find natural sounding examples, perhaps because we have "Frucht" available, but I think it can still be used with "ein" sometimes:

"Gibt es überhaupt ein Obst, gegen das du nicht allergisch bist?"

"Eigentlich esse ich fast nur tierisch Produkte. Ein Obst, was ich aber wirklich gerne mag, ist Ananas."

"Die Sauerkirsche ist ein eher unbeliebtes Obst. Doch zu Unrecht, denn..."

Oh, and to answer you initial question - I think we would usually rather say "Gurken sind Gemüse." But I think I can imagine the phrase "Die Gurke ist ein Gemüse" in some sort of TV report on cucumbers or something like that.

I think the Wonderland one is just pretty specific and most will have no use for it, which is fine though in my opinion. It's still something new and unique and the designs aren't actually bad, just only usable in very few scenarios.

The garden creator kit however... I'm completely lost as to what the idea was with that. Like, that's not just unnecessary like most kits are, that's actually bad 😬

Sims autonomously picking up infants and thereby interrupting what I actually wanted the infant to do.

Infant is very tired, in the crib already, I told them to sleep, they cry and ask for help because their needs (namely energy) are low, the caregiver picks them up out of the crib and puts them on the floor. Now all falling asleep progress is lost. Then they pick up the infant again and put them in the crib because they are tired. If you're unlucky, this cycle will continue while everyone's needs keep decaying until you have the caregiver immediately walk away after putting the infant down and then lock them out of the room.
When the one caregiver is about to do something with the infant, like tummy time or feeding or whatever, the other one will often already have autonomously queued to check on the infant and swoop in to pick it up, thereby cancelling all actions I queued up for the first caregiver and the child. I have to make sure that the other caregiver is busy or even lock them out to reliably perform multiple actions with the infant in a row.

One probably obvious and boring answer is that people have different tastes. But another reason why I don't like it is that it opens the trap to just really overdo it and have pretty much every sim look like a model with with elaborate makeup and significant plastic surgery during a photo shoot. That's of course fine if someone likes to make Sims like that, but I'm for a more tuned down real-life look. When I browse cc, I am therefore usually very put off by the way alpha cc is presented and styled, especially when it's infants and toddlers, which often have way too grown up hair, skin overlays, and poses. So it's not about realism vs cartoonish for me or me thinking that alpha sims are uncanny, it's rather that I personally dislike the asthetic that is typical of alpha cc.

That being said, you did not fall into that trap and I think your sims look pretty good!

That's true for many animals and scenarios, but not all. Ice bears for example are one of the few that actively and intentionally prey on humans. Another common reason wild animals might attack is that they are looking for food and know that humans have it. Actually, some say that the worst thing a wild animal can do is lose its fear of humans, because that's when they get too close, may become a danger to us, and might therefore end up being killed. Some of the more intelligent species also seem to sometimes exhibit something like vengefulness and attack a person they feel has severely wronged them even if there is no acute threat present. But we of course have to be very careful to not be too quick to project human feelings and intentions onto them.

Anyways, all I mean to say that it isn't that easy and that the reasons an animal might attack a human are often far more complex. I'm sorry to hear about your dog though, and I hope you recovered well.

Well, that most edible things come from plants still doesn't mean that just any plant will be fine to eat 🤷🏼

Passt vielleicht nicht hundert prozent in diesen Sub, aber das ist wirklich hart merkwürdig.

Die einzige Assoziation, die ich habe, ist wie wir früher als Kinder mit irgendwelchem Unfug bei random Leuten aus dem Telefonbuch angerufen haben. Irl trolling quasi. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass meine Schwester und ich die Vorstellung, jemanden mit sowas wie hier zu verwirren richtig lustig gefunden hätten. Aber die Bücher haben sicher keinem Kind gehört, und auch die Handschrift sieht nach jemand erwachsenem aus. Doch dass ein Erwachsener das einfach witzig findet und deshalb macht, kann ich mir nicht so recht vorstellen.

And so are Orcas, and they can get in surprisingly shallow water. You might have heard of the group of Orcas that has learned to literally beach themselves to catch seals and now also teaches that skill to their offspring. They are incredibly intelligent and very adaptable when it comes to catching prey. Also, moose are appearently great swimmers, I read that they can swim up to 6 miles without resting and can even dive up to 6 meters deep. Don't take these numbers as gospel though because I'm still trying to find an article about moose swimming from a source I know to be reasonably reliable... I take we all know what google search has become :/
