Home Bargains is British, isn’t it?
So maybe region-dependent custom.
Here in Germany I would judge it to be equally uncommon both in cities and the more rural areas. - Comment on I support this 3 days ago:
That’s one of the exceptions I was thinking about. Looking at someone and deciding to do something beneficial specifically for that person.
- Comment on I support this 3 days ago:
Which is totally ok!
Although I would either be slighty confused by it or more likely wouldn’t even register it at all, as not expecting thanks to be directed at me.
In the end, placing the divider is somewhat of a selfish action on my part, omitting later stress… - Comment on I support this 3 days ago:
Practically never in my whole live, standing in thousands of checkout lines have l heard anyone say “Thank you” to another person placing a divider.
It is in both person’s interest to place it, so the the one who has the opportunity to do it just does.
Had I encountered the woman from the post, I just would have classified her as mentally not entirely stable and kept my distance…

Has quite probably the same root.
G-Wagon is short for “Geländewagen” which just means “offroad vehicle” in English. - Comment on Any guesses? 1 week ago:
That actually is very interesting!
I wonder if it is just a coincidence or if there is some kind of connection between the two… - Comment on Any guesses? 1 week ago:
l come from a farmers family in Germany.
I’ve known it from some equipment we used back in the 80’s or so :-) - Comment on Any guesses? 1 week ago:
Offroad?
(“Gelände” in German, so with a “G”) - Comment on 1 week ago:
And compared to the 10 year old titles on sale that actually work well and look great on 5 year old mid-range HW…
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
More recent most promising theory, that could explain it, seems to be that the universe is just spinning somewhat.
There go the “unknown, new physics”, if this proves to be correct… - Comment on 3 weeks ago:
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Oh no, don’t tell me another innocent term has been captured by the far right??
In this case, using it in apolitical contexts might perhaps be a good thing, though?
Diluting its supposed significance… - Comment on You live in Clown World when guys are using bathroom hand dryers 3 weeks ago:
Well, I guess many one into such stuff, sooo… :-)
- Comment on How festive 3 weeks ago:
😦
Do we have a DINgore sub somewhere on Lemmy?
- Comment on You live in Clown World when guys are using bathroom hand dryers 3 weeks ago:
This sticker will definitely give guys ideas… 🫣

It’s a scan of a carbon copy of a physical picture… I know these specific kind of primordial copier-based proto-meme distribution from the 80’s and 90’s, but not after that any more.
So l would say, quite probably a still somewhat relevant leftover from the previous century… - Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Yes, actually it kinda brings its own kids friendly GUI.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
My kids learned mouse usage with GCompris at the age of 4 or so.
It has very basic ones for absolute beginners with high motivation factor.
And the rest of the educational package is also great, stuff for all ages in there.
Also free, open and multi-platform. - Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 3 weeks ago:
Logitech F710, works pretty seamlessly for me on Kubuntu and Mint with GoG/Lutris.

Did you see Duchovny in Twin Peaks?
I do not know what his real inner person is, but I guess it has always been legendary… - Comment on Cope 4 weeks ago:
Dude, I can even see it as a straight guy.
- Comment on Cope 4 weeks ago:
Does that conversely also mean that a woman with a beard does not need to wear a hijab?
- Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 5 weeks ago:
Wow, that is actually really cool!
So maybe I’ve seen you on TV 40 years ago, as I totally remember the human chain!
I think it was the first time I heard of “Neu-Ulm”, and since then the name has always been somehow connected with the helicopter images of the protests for me. - Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 5 weeks ago:
l also had Chernobyl in mind at first. It was a big thing, as it affected life as a kid in Europe directly.
But then I remembered all the news stories surrounding the Anti-Pershing protests.
These were in 1983, the year in which humanity perhaps was closest to complete annihilation ever.Yes, the 80s were wild.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 1 month ago:
First: Some UK teachers exchanged the analogue with digital clocks. This was only to reduce interruptions by some students (during a specific kind of UK exams), who had trouble determining the remaining time in the heat of the exam battle.
Secondly: The use of analogue clocks is taught at UK schools. What’s missing is the practice that former generations of pupils had. No more wristwatches, public clocks all but gone, and (what I am nostalgically missing from my youth) no more peeking onto parked car’s dashboards to read the analogue clock there. Times have changed, and this specific partially lost ability is not the schools’ fault. (Not to say that other things aren’t…)
Can we please bury that stupid old meme, as it has been based on some inaccurate buzz and largely giving a completely inaccurate impression of the topic from the start…
- Comment on Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism? 1 month ago:
If this question isn’t fake, it shows how senselessly polarized pictures drawn by both sides have become.
- Comment on I'm in danger 1 month ago:
So right at this specific moment you are simultaneously doomed and salvaged.
- Comment on Traffic safety is vital 1 month ago:
That’s essentially a perfect anti-meme.
I love it! - Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 month ago:
Can confirm. Lemmy became a lot friendlier after I blocked the worst of the permanently outraged communities and a bunch of people with extreme views.
I try to limit that to the worst cases, though, as I don’t want to drive “bubblification” too much… - Comment on Beware!!! 1 month ago:
No, just part of the establishment. ;-)
