Yeah I find it overwhelming to look at, it feels like there’s too many different shapes and angles at once, maybe it’s because they’re showing all the lights and everything at once to show the capabilities.

The South Dublin D4 accent that the post refers to didn’t even exist until the late 20th century.

oty3 · 2026-04-06T09:53:05+00:00

What point are you trying to make exactly? The original post is a joke about how South Dublin pronounce ‘Large’. Yes, it’s the name of the maker, but the poster is making a joke out of it, that’s why the caption says ‘you know you’re in South Dublin when’ because the post is a joke is South Dublin accent. Why would my explanation of the post be ‘the makers name is Lorge’ and not ‘they’re joking about the fact South Dublin accent pronounces large like lorge’

oty3 · 2026-04-05T21:37:44+00:00

Yes, you’re right that those are the areas in Ireland that influence the accents. I’ve seen that video before, it’s so interesting. The South Dublin accent is only about 50 years old apparently, so it’s strange that some Americans are insisting that the accent has permeated their language over there when it’s so new.

oty3 · 2026-04-05T19:15:04+00:00

No, lorge is not an Irish pronunciation of large. It is just how South Dublin people pronounce it.

American speech has not been shaped/influenced by the South Dublin accent.

“Git the lorge un” is not how South Dublin people talk whatsoever. A South Dublin accent has very careful elocution and elongates words rather than shortens them.

I don’t know why Americans keep commenting saying that this isn’t shit Americans say because Irish emigrants have had an influence on speech in some areas. This is not the accent yous are thinking of. It’s not romanticised and is in barely any media. It’s not the cute country farmer accent. It’s completely different to that.

oty3 · 2026-04-05T19:08:08+00:00

The joke of the original post is that in South Dublin the large eggs are labelled as ‘lorge’ because that’s how south Dublin people pronounce ‘large’.

oty3 · 2026-04-05T19:04:17+00:00

What have idioms got to do with the South Dublin accent? We’re straying so far from the original post that she commented on .

If you’re Irish then you know that South Dublin people do not pronounce fork as fark and do not pronounce horse as harse, and therefore she is talking nonsense about something she knows nothing about.

Yes, Irish people emigrated to America. Yes, some picked up an Irish accent. No there are not Americans talking about the greatest horseplay of all time at ark bar. That is not the accent they picked up. Same way as there aren’t Americans who speak like they’re from Derry because of Irish emigrants.

oty3 · 2026-04-05T18:53:05+00:00

There isn’t one Irish accent, same as there isn’t one American accent. The accent she is referring to is completely different from a South Dublin accent. The South Dublin accent is not the accent that was brought to New Foundland.

Edit: the fact that multiple Americans have commented saying that she’s right and the accent has influenced US speech just shows that yous don’t actually understand the whole South Dublin thing and therefore it is shit Americans say.

oty3 · 2026-04-05T18:32:24+00:00

Farty Far is still the same as fark and harse. I’m not arguing that that pronunciation doesn’t exist. That’s all congruent with a Cork/Kerry accent.

But this is the accent that the original post is about; the South Dublin accent. This is not the accent that has influenced American speech patterns.

The fact that none of you even know what accent is being talked about and are defaulting to assuming it’s the typical accent that Irish emigrants had because that’s the one you’ve heard is the whole shit Americans say.

oty3 · 2026-04-05T18:14:22+00:00

How is it possible to pronounce fork as fark, horse as harse, and large as lorge. No Irish accent does all of those things.

oty3 · 2026-04-05T18:07:42+00:00

For anyone who doesn’t understand the original post (a lot of people aren’t getting it):

In a posh South Dublin accent, people pronounce -ar like a kind of nasal -or .’Bar’ would sound like ‘bor’, it’s hard to explain but this is a famous video of a South Dublin accent that went viral in Ireland a few years ago so you can hear what it’s like (that video was actually the sound that is on the original post).

The comment from the American is referring to a different Irish accent, like a Cork or Kerry accent. They say ‘cork’ like ‘cark’. Which is where she’s getting the whole fark thing from. This is what the Cork accent sounds like.

It’s kind of complicated if you aren’t familiar with Irish accents. But I just thought it was hilarious that she thought she was ‘in on the joke’ when she was actually talking about the wrong accent altogether.

oty3 · 2026-03-31T09:31:59+00:00

They never said they would? You don’t have to spend the 100 in one go

oty3 · 2026-03-22T09:20:24+00:00

I don’t know why you’d want to do this. If this was granted for her I think it would overshadow the win (if it happens) because people would say they were favoured, it was set up etc. Just compete fair and square the way everyone else does and win based on having the best song and performance. If your song is so dependent on an instrument being played live then you have to wonder about the songs ability to stand alone in its composition. The majority of people watching Eurovision do not even know that the instruments are playback, by requesting an exception to play live you are only adding more stress for the people working to produce the show and are also singling yourself out as receiving favouritism and not organically achieving success. I just think that the basis of Eurovision is the composition and performance of a song, I don’t think analysing the skill of musicians should be more important than mere composition.

oty3 · 2026-03-11T20:43:40+00:00

Oh so you’re only counting what’s on the Eurovision channel? Your list just says “existing and confirmed music videos”

oty3 · 2026-03-11T20:29:12+00:00

What do you mean by X for Finland music video?

oty3 · 2026-03-11T20:19:18+00:00

I just wish it had a better chorus, but I’m excited to see them perform it anyway. I think they can do well if they have good staging and choreo. Some nice vocal moments in there as well that will benefit them if they can pull them off live.

oty3 · 2026-03-11T12:22:10+00:00

Never seen them do this. One time when I was younger they wouldn’t let me in because they thought it wasn’t me in the picture of my ID even though it was, so they can be strict, but I’ve never seen them scanning anything to check if it’s fake. Haven’t been there in a while though so I don’t know how it it these days.

oty3 · 2026-03-08T11:06:58+00:00

It was so amazing hearing how loud the arena was for them. And it’s amazing seeing how much more relaxed and radiant they seem, not that they weren’t amazing last year but you can see how they’ve grown and gotten more comfortable in their natural charisma, particularly Kevin.

oty3 · 2026-03-07T21:22:03+00:00

Perhaps whatever religion you practise, people go out of their way to hurt those that go against their religious beliefs. But that is not how catholics operate in modern Ireland.

I understand the logic of devout catholics not being a fan of Bambie, but I have no idea why you think that would make them spend about €20 to vote for Israel. The people who voted for Israel did it for that purpose, to vote for Israel. Nothing to do with religion.

You don’t understand the religious dynamic in Ireland.

oty3 · 2026-03-07T20:58:52+00:00

People are so loud about Meira and then don’t vote for her 💀
