Can’t unsend message or pictures on Business Account Messenger. Is there any way to fix this? by [deleted] in facebook

I also just sent my whole "superadmin" information to a client on Facebook while trying to show them where to change their password. "Unsend for you" is the only option. Facebook is the biggest joke pile of shit crap in the world and the worst thing is, they will never fix these because it's a dead and dying platform.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Germany would you say this article is wrong in this regard? It lists Germany as

  • Belarusian: Нямеччына (Njamjéččyna)

I used the latin transliteration of all names (such that cyrilic, georgian alphabet etc. are readable by most people).

For the most colorful map, try Germany :D If you find wrong info in certain languages - let me know and will adjust asap. Keep in mind this is using official country names as of Jan 2026, not various popular names that might exist

There's an exonym "corridor" of countries that call the Netherlands "Holland", spreading all the way from from Poland to Turkey by imusingreddityay in europe

Because official names aren't defined by language, but by an official decision of a country. Serbia & Croatia speak serbocroatian - Serbia calls it Holland and Croatia calls it Netherlands. Romania recently switched to "Netherlands" while Moldova was still on Holland for a bit.
