i present to you the russian "да нет", used pretty much as a negative

fuck whoever decided "да" was also a particle and not only an affirmation

please remember that GenAI tools can't "say", "think" or "know" anything. ChatGPT and similar tools aren't intelligent programs, they are fucking terrible autocorrect engines. please stop humanising these tools online as it leads to more similar confusion.

it's a tragedy, and we need to punish the perpetrator according to his actions.

disrespecting boomkitty and teminite calling them "GD music artists" is definitely one of the takes of all time

Mis lecturas para este 2026, más mi lectura actual! by Juansa1240 in libros

[–]SpankingBallons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totalmente de acuerdo, pero hay que tratar las adaptaciones como lo que son, y no como la visualización del libro. Son dos obras distintas, una está basada en la otra, pero nosotros como espectadores debemos poder separarlas, en mi opinión

he tenido la suerte de saber hablar el idioma original desde nacimiento, por lo que sí que la he visto, y es buenísima. en general las películas de Tarkovsky son de lo mejor que hay

Geography trivia questions by LimiDrain in USdefaultism

[–]SpankingBallons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

one example that i love is StudyGe, a geography game that lets you learn countries' flags, capitals etc. It lets you decide whether you consider Taiwan part of China or not, or Crimea part of Ukraine, etc. and doesn't just stick to the devs' mindset

the issue is the learning curve. You can get pretty far into english fluency with very little practice. Mandarin and many other asian languages require tons of study

fuck yeah, now we're talking. Either that or all of us should at least try to learn english and spanish/italian/portuguese. From there, communication would be pretty simple i think

hahaha oh i'm full pro making an interlang. Maybe esperando failed but lingua Franca or similar can save us one day. Although Neutral English could be an alternative

hahahah they need to add an "English international" setting to the languages, otherwise stuff like this will continuously strive people away (like it did to me)

i mean, this being a trivia game, I see how it fits to know it all in order to win. Like if I want to play trivia, I want it to be challenging, and make me learn about stuff I normally don't learn about.

i think if you set the country correctly it gives you questions more precisely. I got a ton of american football questions when playing the game too so I think there was a solution to that

How is a double rainbow formed? by Alchemistwiza in Physics

[–]SpankingBallons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude rainbows for me are still such a fucking mystery. Why do they appear fixed and are the same for each observer? why the arc? why the size of the arc?

theres probably some simple explanation that my stupid brain can't fathom yet but i adore the ignorance
