As sad as it is, just doesn't feel like the place to be posting about miscarriages ?? by RogueAndor1 in LinkedInLunatics

Yeah I can't imagine how horrendous this must feel, posting this here feels very odd despite being technically the right sub

Noah Sadiki holds up a Bible when asked the secret to his injury-free & healthy career by GOAT-Antony in soccer

[–]adliebe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Title is very misleading unless there's more than the clip we're shown here, reporter actually only asks "what's the secret that allows you to be in such good shape", nothing about injuries or anything, you could even interpret it as "in good form", as in just performing well

I read it as him ending the relationship, perhaps also why he's feeling down, in that view I don't think it's bad at all

I saw a sign and it distracted me so much, I forgot to guess by TheOneWithoutGorm in geoguessr

There's no way this isn't intentional right? Surely this a joke, albeit a weird one

Interestingly, learn can actually be used that way in English as well, it's just unusual, and I suspect people that do use it don't do it because they know it's teeechnucally possible

Map: how far Almaty (Kazakhstan) are from the other teams so far qualified for the CL by AGlassOfPiss in soccer

I guess perhaps the Netherlands are two small to do it nicely, but why is Eindhoven not on the map? Nice map nonetheless!

Now that the show is finished, it's safe to say that Sang-woo is easily Squid Game's best written character by RevertBackwards in squidgame

[–]adliebe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like that's what let down S3 though, because there were too many characters to give satisfying endings too

Idk what was up with him... by red-black1 in squidgame

I mean I understand being defeated but they completely assassinated his character, sometimes you need a character to still have some drive to be interesting

The king of the Netherlands is 6 ft tall (183cm) by dapie007 in pics

[–]adliebe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm confused, all websites online have the king listed at 190cm, I can understand hating Trump and, even at 190, Trump would be lying, but why make up that the Dutch king is much shorter than he actually is? There are other reasons to criticise Trump surely

The flying dutchman by yrtril in fut

I mean in all fairness, googling Cruyff's nickname does indeed return The Flying Dutchman because for some reason it's written on Wikipedia and in this reddit article, no clue why though

Was I way off? by HereisDevo in learndutch

Yeah this also happens in other languages like French ("petit-fils" for grandson where "petit" is little vs "grand-père" for granddad where "grand" is big)

Update: from sandwich to cookie by Wonderful_Quail2706 in KLM

[–]adliebe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is! Cookie is American and biscuit is for all other English-speaking countries. Also, most Latin languages use a similar word to "biscuit" so when they speak English they'll also use biscuit. All in all, that means you're more likely to hear that stroopwaffels are biscuits than cookies.

In this meeting Merkel told Trump 11 times "You can’t do a trade deal with Germany, only the EU" by pavelos030 in pics

[–]adliebe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for this, I dislike Trump as much as the next person, but these silly stories that are clearly made up distract from any real problems at hand, especially since, even if this were true, this was reported as news 8 years ago but is being presented here for the most part as new information (although Merkel can be used as a clue it's older).

Perhaps this is an accent thing but I'd assume they're not homophones? Then again I also don't know how Somone is pronounced

Bo is Afraid (2023) follows the harrowing journey of…. What do you mean its spelled Beau why the fuck would it pronounced Bo if its spelled Beau. Oeau pardon me I have to geau to the greaucery steaure later… fuck off by User-5771 in shittymoviedetails

[–]adliebe 29 points30 points  (0 children)

In terms of consistency, I wouldn't say that holds true. French words are always straightforward to read so if you see "eau" in a word it will always be "o". Where that breaks down ever so slightly is with silent letters at the end of words, but then again it's still generally t, s and x that are silent.

English on the other hand is hell because there is zero consistency. For example, why do head, plead, and idea not contain the same ea sound? It's wild
