yeah, 16 hours of daylight during summer means even more time for the daystar to hammer us with its heat. and the flipside is 8 hours of sunlight during the winter and it getting dark by 4pm.
but those long, bright summer evenings are nice when it’s not 2138219219 degrees.

translation of names can get pretty arbitrary. eg, which “new”-s would you translate among these: new york, new zealand, new hampshire, newfoundland?

based on what i remember, NJ (and NYC) had weather pretty similar to budapest. now, i’ve never been to berlin but i cant imagine it’s that different from budapest, just a bit colder.
so yeah, their weather is weird :)

and also, their only idea to solve the crisis was to commit a thousand more peterloos, which doesnt seem like a great idea in the long run…

IIRC william was an unusually politically savvy king.
he did his coronation on the cheap so as to ease public sentiment. and then when told “sire, the peasants are revolting”, he did not say “yes, of course”, but (eventually) put pressure on the conservatives to get the reform bill passed.

have you looked at the way dogs (especially male dogs) pick spots to pee on? i’ve always felt like i undertood. they were spots to pee on. it’s only reasonable to then pee on them.
i think there’s a bit of that mammalian nonsense working inside us, so we like picking something to piss on, or piss off of, or piss into, or whatever.

the good ones just invent entirely new jokes to replace the untranslatable ones.
- Comment on Punch Time 2 months ago:
a raw translation is a bad translation, this is trying to demonstrate translation without actually translating, using just one language, which is why it fails to demonstrate much of anything.
eg:
- original: ez egy vérgeci
- raw: this is a blood cum
- translation that carries the meaning: this person is thoroughly unpleasant and mean
- idiomatic translation: he’s a fucking asshole
