beloved alternatives my mom usually drops:
“das ist nicht die Wucht in Tüten” (this ain’t the might in bags) “damit kann man keinen Blumentopf gewinnen” (one won’t win a planting pot for that) “das lockt niemanden vom ofen hervor” (nobody will be lured from behind the oven with that)

Like, just for fun or is there an occasion for the last one because I want to use it to insult my dear friend’s souffles
slowmorella@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
usually my mom uses the first when things/tools/equipment/objects do not work like they intended to do. or simply if she expected more the second one is is usually if someone or something looks ugly or if someone missbehaved or did something wrong. the third is mostly used when something is very ugly, of bad quality, just like in you case, tastes bad

In Danish you might say “that’s not something to yell hurrah over” or “that’s not exactly something you would write home about”

It never occurred to me until now that the toy’s case was the yolk. 🤯

It’s not a jolk if someone has to explain it.
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Probably not, because the saying is probably way older than the toy.

That’s… that’s not really relevant to their statement though.

I love the German word verbesserungsbedürftig, meaning ‘in need of improvement’.

We’re too stupid and choke on the toys.
ConstantPain@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It brings back good memories from when these things were not absurdly expensive and the toys were good quality.

We put mini toys in candy for kids to choke on them.

That phrase isn’t used “to make a point”, it means that something is not exactly great, that it remains below expecations

Are we on lemmy shitpost?

We’re on Lemmy, I’m surprised this shitpost hasn’t already devolved to political discourse. Taking shitposts seriously is Lemmy’s milieu.

I was watching an episode of QI once, and one of the panelists was talking about a phrase in Greek that literally translates to, “There is trouble in the Gypsy village,” and is apparently used to indicate something like, “Who gives a shit?” Idioms are a very interesting part of language.

It's maybe similar to English "get to the meat" of a topic?
Jobe@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
Not at all, OP is very imprecise. It means something like 'It’s not amazing/the best", usually followed up with “but it’s all-right/will do for now”.

This image probably scares americans. on the left because they fear for their children and on the right because they can’t afford it.

Americans do a lot of foolish things, but refrigerating their eggs is not one of them.
There is a good reason: eggs are washed before they’re sold in the US, which removes the egg’s cuticle (a natural protective coating). This process reduces the risk of bacterial contamination, and, when combined with refrigeration, extends the shelf life of the egg. That matters in a country with a distributed population as geographically vast as the U.S., where food often travels longer distances before reaching the consumer. Refrigerating eggs is a solution to a logistical challenge not present in Europe.
I like to point this out because a European unaware of this difference might visit America, refuse to refrigerate their eggs (believing their own cultural practices to be superior and more “natural”) and end up with salmonella. It’s ironic because getting sick in another country due to ignorance of local customs, while assuming your own culture is better, is a very American thing to do. I guess the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

I’m from Europe, and while I know I don’t need to have my eggs in the fridge I do so anyways. I don’t think that the cold will hurt. Maybe they will last even longer!

Why would you keep eggs in a fridge? I just leave them in a basket on the counter top.
