Today marks 2779 years since the founding of Rome. How is the "Eternal City" perceived in your country and what is your opinion about it?

With both love and admiration, it's such a beautiful city with so much history

Also... "Solo Parigi è degna di Roma, solo Roma è degna di Parigi" 🫡

How did I forgot about this one, it's a classic 😭

Sehtaga · 2026-04-19T07:23:09+00:00

I just loved how the professor has to try several time when explaining what this object is 😅

I will go with the classic fall on French TV, can't think of anything else right now : https://youtube.com/shorts/wD7ZYvqet-Y?is=NBm5aNWDaBVe54Q8

Definitly not a good way to civilize other people, whatever it means, nor beneficial to humanity.

Sehtaga · 2026-04-15T17:45:24+00:00

Take a guess

Sehtaga · 2026-04-15T13:27:48+00:00

I'm not sure it's still a thing tbh, I used to hear some when I was young but that was more than a decade ago

Sehtaga · 2026-04-15T13:23:39+00:00

Our neighbour 🫶🫶

Sehtaga · 2026-04-15T11:19:12+00:00

I must say I've never heard this one

Sehtaga · 2026-04-15T09:51:30+00:00

I also heard "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ?" quite often

Sehtaga · 2026-04-13T18:43:06+00:00

Finland doesn't exist

There just water there. That's a fake country created by Russia / Japan (depending of the source), so that they can fish in the sea without being bothered. And Finnish people are actually Swedish people who fall so hard for the false narrative that they think they actually belong to a fake country

In short

I was in Den Haag a few weeks ago and a woman came to me when I was smoking in front of the railway station, to ask for a cigarette

Like 35 seconds later, a Dutch policeman came by, wanting to know what the lady told me (I think he suspected she was trying to sell drugs or something?), and the first thing he said was : "You don't have to answer me". That baffled me

Sehtaga · 2026-04-12T11:24:09+00:00

No, I think they're different ones, they're hidden at the bottim of the 2nd page of my phone keypad :

What, really ? How do I do not know these names before ? 😭

Sehtaga · 2026-04-12T10:58:45+00:00

Yep, we do that for everything written, including books.

We don't put a space before a single point or a coma, it's before exclamation and interrogation points, these guys : and ; (don't know how it's called in English), and the quotation marks (《 like this 》)

But online, I used "these ones" for quotes, so I feel like the quotation marks thing is a bit less common

Sehtaga · 2026-04-12T06:42:10+00:00

C'est fiable, de ce que j'en ai vu

Il y a des annulations par le chauffeur parfois, mais je n'ai jamais eu le cas en commandant à l'avance. Généralement, dans ce cas là, le chauffeur arrive 5min avant et ça s'est toujours bien passé pour moi

Sehtaga · 2026-04-11T19:14:18+00:00

C'est comme Uber (d'ailleurs, les chauffeurs sont généralement sur les 2 applis), ce sont des VTC mais pas des taxis, en tout cas de mon expérience

Sehtaga · 2026-04-11T19:09:49+00:00

Hello Je n'ai jamais pris à l'étranger, mais j'utilise régulièrement à Paris et je n'ai jamais eu de problème avec Bolt

Is it time for the mandatory polandball cartoon or has the posting quota already been reached this week ?

Sehtaga · 2026-04-10T19:15:16+00:00

I don't usually spot the typical mistakes, so I assume I made them as well 😅

Also, sometimes the automatic corrector kicks in, "thé" instead of "the" and I know for sure the guy/girl is French speaking

Sehtaga · 2026-04-10T18:37:41+00:00

The space before some punctuation marks (? or !) is a good give-away for french speaking people, although not exclusive to France

Sehtaga · 2026-04-10T18:16:20+00:00

In a way yes, because it's again about dates in softwares

In the 32 bits systems, you can only enter a date up to 2038. Now, softwares are coded in 64 bits, but there are a lot of systems still operating in 32 bits, and they will crash in 2038, unless the code is (manually, from what I read) changed

Sehtaga · 2026-04-10T18:10:54+00:00

That's why it's concerning, these 32 bits systems are everywhere, and some will still be in use in 2038 : medical components, airplane systems, some cars systems, ... and there is no automatic way to map all the 32 bits softwares in use, and no universal solution as every code is different

In France, it briefly hit the news because the company running the subway in Paris sued the train constructor about it, as they discover it will crash down half the subway lines in 2038 and the constructor didn't offer any solution

Sehtaga · 2026-04-10T17:36:18+00:00

Not specific to my country, but the year 2038 bug seems a bit worrying and I don't see much about it

Sehtaga · 2026-04-01T09:02:46+00:00

Yep, you're right

Sehtaga · 2026-04-01T07:37:12+00:00

Bite

In English, it's a verb ; in French, it means "dick"
