How common would you say knowing names of baby animals in English are for most Dutch speakers (I’m assuming that’s what you speak because of your instance)? I’m guessing kitten and puppy are pretty common, but what about farm animals like calf, foal, lamb, piglet, or chick? And then you’ve got forest animals like cub, fawn, or kit.

Sitting can be very difficult first thing in the morning sometimes. Well, not the sitting part but the getting your dick to point down into the bowl part.

Oh I thought that was the channel making the copyright claim. I just assumed the one terminated was named enderman.
- Comment on Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman looses his YouTube channel after AI error 2 days ago:
I dunno anything about Enderman but I looked up the Japanese channel out of curiosity. Looks like there are some videos related to some kind of game called Star Rail and there are channels with スターレイル in the title, but I can’t find a channel specifically called 棺のスターレイル遊び (which means something like “play coffin’s star rail”)

Yep, !sumo@lemmy.world
I think Aonishiki will continue to do well, and hopefully his countryman Shishi finds some more solid footing for himself soon. Also Kusano smashed his way up the ranks so fast they already changed his name to Yoshinofuji. Fujinokawa is looking ok for a newcomer too, just not quite as good.
I hope Hoshoryu can stay healthy for a few basho in a row, as Onosato needs someone to check his power. Having only one ozeki right now doesn’t help either.
Takayasu on the other hand I’d guess is pretty much done. He’ll still put up some wins for awhile, but I think the playoff back in March was his last shot at a yusho. I remember checking into winners older than 35 and there was only the smallest handful of guys who pulled it off.
Dunno about Kotoeiho but I’m hoping Takerufuji can get his shit together. It’ll be disappointing if his historic win last year isn’t followed by an exciting career.

Hard to tell with the amount of pixels used but that could be a persimmon instead, leading to a comparison which has never been made!

Yeah, which also goes along with the people who complain that their English teacher pointed out that the curtains were blue and that meant the character was sad. I know there are shitty teachers out there who maybe read out of a teachers guide that blue curtains = sad and that’s as far as the lesson went, but I bet in most cases the class was about noticing motifs and subtext and the only thing they came away with was “lol my teacher thinks curtains means something deep”.
And then those are the kind of people to complain later that the country is going to shit because no one teaches critical thinking these days, like you said.

The way I see it, you’re probably freest from the ages one to four
Around the age of five you’re shipped away for your body to be stored
They promise education, but really they give you tests and scores
And they predictin’ prison population by who scoring the lowest - Comment on Anon does well in school 1 week ago:
There are so many people online with no pedagogical training who rail against common core, but a lot of it is trying to bring education standards to be more skills based rather than whatever they were doing back in the day. Like high school English classes have standards like “can cite textual evidence to support identification of the theme of a text”, rather than shit like my old essays that teachers marked up like “missing comma, minus 0.5 points”.

Yeah I listened to his songs a lot as a kid as well. It was just jarring to hear the silly song guy repeat quack conservative conspiracies when I looked back into him later down the line, though like you say, not unexpected given his demographic.

I’ve seen them occasionally in Japan hotels as well, but it’s pretty rare

Ray Stevens went a long way from that song in 1987 to his one about how dems get dead people to vote for them in 2012

Yeah maga place looks like it’s up to 21 idiots sharing a brain cell now, whereas I think it was 12 a couple weeks ago. Wonder if there’s a critical mass for those fucks or if they’ll find lemmy too progressive to stick around. I guess they could just circlejerk on their own instance.

I always find it interesting when comparing cuisine between cultures of stuff that exists in different places but only eaten in one (or a few) of them. Like ok, I get that if you’re not used to much seafood in general you maybe will eat some grilled salmon but you’re not gonna be eating the guts out of crabs or lobsters or whatever. But then there’s something like burdock root, which grows in the US, doesn’t have a strong taste, and is just like various other root vegetables we do eat (although not as sweet as something like a carrot). But the US doesn’t eat it while east Asia does.
