It certainly isn’t a shitpost. Unless I’m being wooshed.

Identifying as female comes with a free opt-out from defecation, don’t you know?

The amount of copper wire in that building is astronomical.

Yes, indeed, in that mockumentary, proving, of course, that it’s not a red herring meant to distract from the building in the OP.
- Comment on Does anyone know what's inside this building? 2 days ago:
Yep, other side, that’s definitely not just a red herring address that was invented for that interactive mockumentary that came out a few years ago.

Who the fuck did your onboarding, agent?! Did you skip over the part where you’re not, under any circumstances, to reveal the location of the Oldest House to the public?! Do you need another copy of that memo?!

- Comment on When kids come trick-or-treating, what happens if I choose trick? 1 week ago:
Southwestern Germany, yep :) We called it Hexennacht, Witches’ Night, which is of course the same as Walpurgisnacht. The necktie cutting as I know it is a Karneval thing, specifically the Thursday before Karneval, called Weiberfasnacht (“Wives’/women’s carnival”). Though I wouldn’t be surprised if there were heathens somewhere cutting neckties on some other day ;D
- Comment on How did we go from being against fake pictures of the moon to accepting things like changing out the entire sky? 1 week ago:
Your two scenarios really don’t have a lot in common. In one of them, the phone doesn’t do what the maker promised which of course annoys people. In the other, people can make active, conscious choices which people like. The part where images are changed is incidental.

True but the shop looks like a Dalek first and a shower only because of context.

Where I’m from we just did the “trick” part. Ran around in dark clothing on 30th April* in the late evening, fairly distributing toilet paper if we were unimaginative, and painting cows violet if we were more creative. General mischief, is what I’m saying, none of that bargaining for sweets, your house is going to be TP’ed and you’ll like it because the alternative might be actual property damage.
* I… think that was the date. It’s been a while and I don’t live there anymore.

That’s because it’s shopped to look more like a dalek.

Lots of words exist, but if they aren’t used, they may as well not (goes for all languages). I recently had a conversation with someone about the German word for shark. The word they knew wasn’t wrong as such and people would understand what they mean but they’d sound weird and old-timey if they used it in normal conversation. I’m sure there are specific situations where 独語 is used but outside of that you’d sound weird. So why is 英語 used alongside ドイツ語?
I’m not really looking for a definite answer here, I know languages are under no obligation to be consistent, this just whinging :)

I was indeed complaining about Japanese. At least English is consistently weird whereas Japanese makes you lower your defenses with its VERY regular grammar (and then hits you over the head with different politeness-levels). ;)

Which still leaves the question why 英国 is treated differently from, say, 独国, 仏国 and 米国 ;D

Again with the overpromising.

When I was in Japan, I asked a receptionist if England-language was okay. Japanese has a word for “English”, it just didn’t exist in my head in that second. I still think about this 12 years later.
(Also, everything else is country-language too, France-language, Germany-language, China-language, Japan-language, why does England-language get to be special, why, Japanese people, why?!)

You’re not special, we’re just as simple in Germany too.

Definitely. That was part of the very initial vision and the pitch for the entire program, a ball pit in every household, for the medical benefit of all Americans. Just fill in the request form for permit A38 and let the tax guy down by the harbour do the rest.

Ianal nor USian, had to look up what HSA even is, don’t believe a word from my mouth. Except for when I tell you how fantastic ball pits are for your back.
- Comment on The Pennsylvania Ave. Ikea 2 weeks ago:
I mean. Intriguing concept, ball pit the size of the WH east wing.
Btw, ball pits are Heaven for back problems.
