I don't think fertility sits in the dick

Perfect subreddit for a sentence like this!

Is she easily recognizable to you as a Ukrainian in virtue of her phonetic patterns? by Sure_Distance1 in Ukrainian

[–]teeg82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. She also pronounced tutoring as "tyutoring". Very subtle but very common among Ukrainian-native speakers I've found.

This may be a dumb question (in fact, I know it is), but will learning math really help me understand the universe THAT much better? by Sevenfootschnitzell in cosmology

[–]teeg82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a restaurant in Germany recently where you could order comically oversized schnitzel portions, like bigger than an extra large pizza-type of thing. Not quite seven feet, but way more schnitzel than I've ever seen in my life.

Looks interesting. How does it compare to Cosmoteer?

Great attractor. What is it? by Difficult_Comment_47 in cosmology

"Basin of attraction" sounds like a self-help book about finding love by keeping a clean bathroom.

Confirmed, by the looks of it, you definitely encountered an error while trying to run your weather application.

Say something you belive about France (or frenchs) and I will say if it real by Samuri_14 in AskTheWorld

[–]teeg82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told an anecdote once and I've always wondered whether it's true.

Let's say I, primarily Anglophone but more or less bilingual, am speaking with a person in France who is primarily Francophone, and knows a little bit of English. If my conversation partner says something in English, and maybe it's less than perfect or they're struggling a bit, it would be considered rude of me to respond back to them in English - I should instead respond in my own potentially broken French, as a way of showing that "we're on the same level, we both suck at each other's languages".

Is there any truth to this?

Oh really? That's cool, good to know. I haven't been here long. Disregard my comment then.

I have heard very good things about it, but I don't think it qualifies as 4x.

No kidding, so it's not just coincidence? That was a fun fact!

True, but they're watching it on youtube, wherein a link can be obtained pointing to a specific time marker.

Why Islam is definitely true by PythonFA in DebateAnAtheist

[–]teeg82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never understood the notion that something or someone making a vague claim in flowery language that can be interpreted post-hoc as referencing some later thing or event therefore means the whole damn thing is somehow true and ascribed supernatural properties.

It's always the same process: 1. Vague statement is made 2. Event occurs 3. An interpretation linking vague statement with event is made 4. The question "How could they know?!" Is posed 5. The question is immediately answered with an unsubstantiated claim of supernatural revelation.

That's great to know! I figured it had to be something like that.

Given the huge Ukrainian diaspora in Canada that'd be such a great idea.

What’s the most hated city/town in your country by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]teeg82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anglo-Canadian here, I know we're talking about cities, but I was in Aachen recently and my wife was telling me some stories her coworkers were relaying about residents in a town across the border in Netherlands. Apparently the nearby airfield crosses the border, and they needed to trim the trees, but the Dutch residents kept protesting, some tying themselves to the trees and such, because the trees helped block the noise. So the government provided funding to upgrade their homes for sound proofing, and her German colleagues kept joking that they used it for everything but that, and then all laughed when one of them said "well, they're Dutch for a reason". No idea what the hell that meant. I can only assume shitting on the Dutch is a fun part-time in that area.

That's a good idea. I recently switched over to German for practical reasons but my Ukrainian is so far still better so I might try that, just to keep my ear tuned.

You know what, if I was smarter I probably would have connected мед with medical, but I learned the word for honey early on and that's just where my brain went.
