I don’t know why I’m surprised that the sun doesn’t know the difference between affect and effect, but I am.

Don’t worry, the devil only speaks Québécois

Cookies? Ad companies? Privacy? I think those are pretty mainstream things to know about (at least if you live in a country with regulations on cookies, you get a banner on every website)

I can see that, but I think I’d be cool with them knowing everything about me as long as it wasted a bunch of their money.

Exactly, just a sandwich with only one piece of bread. It’s probably the most common dinner here, because people traditionally had big meals at lunch, but that’s slowly changing

Yeah, I wanted to specify because I didn’t cook them and I don’t know if that’s safe for the meat ones. It’s moderate gremlin behavior, but I eat them straight out of the packet and they’re still bomb. I prefer the taste of them fried with onions, but not enough that it’s worth doing too often. Plus, they’re perfect nutritional macros for me as they are. People also eat them in broth, sometimes with vegetables, but I always find they’re kind of inconvenient to eat as a soup.

Their other name is Herrgottbescheißerle, or (roughly translated) lord god bullshitters, because they are said to have originated in Swabia as a way for people to eat meat during lent, because the meat was fully encased in dough, and therefore god wouldn’t see people eating it. I don’t know if that’s really true, but it’s a good story and a funny name.

Yup! But ruder, more like maw pockets

My day so far in Germany: wake up without alarm at 3:30, have coffee and smoke a joint with my husband (it’s his day off), eat cold vegetable Maultaschen (my beloved) for breakfast, walk to my job at the bakery for my 5:00 shift, run around sweating all day until my shift ends at 13:00, walk home, decompress, and eat the rest of the Maultaschen.

In an hour or two, my husband and I will go sit on the riverbank a couple blocks away, smoke a few joints, and he’ll play the banjo (very uncommon here) while I read until we want to have dinner. Then we’ll make open faced sandwiches for dinner (very common here), and try to get to bed by 20-21.

I think I always overcomplicate the situation, lol.

I would get that message, but I’d probably assume that if you’re living in a shared building, you’re cool with sounds of other people doing their thing, have coping mechanisms, or will speak to me/write me a note (could even be anonymous).

Now I just hope my neighbors are and have always been assertive/aggressive enough to spell it out. Except for the upstairs adult neighbors who rollerbladed back and forth on their tile floor for a couple hours a week to build proficiency. I do hope they were constantly annoyed.

I would never interpret an uptick in noise from my neighbors as a message. I’m autistic and very unperceptive in this dimension so it may well just be me, but I think I’d start worrying about someone if they told me they thought that their neighbor coughing or laughing more audibly than usual was an attempt at communication.

Even the other sounds… maybe you got a new sex toy or developed an embarrassing medical condition. I’d just assume you’re doing your thing, not trying to weird me out.

Cool, out, whack, rap, pop, rock, punk (I got stuck on a theme), buffalo!

Plus it might have prevented me from reading Ukrainian instead of uranium the first two times while I mused about the inaccessibility of memes these days.

Income is correlated with effort, just inversely

OP clearly wasn’t trying to fool anyone or spread disinformation, it’s a meme and you losers are in here demanding a better bibliography.

Providing a better bibliography, in case anyone else wants it.

Tbh, I used that phrasing specifically because you were snippy about someone else making a claim based on their own experience and I was trying to prod you about the evidence you’re using.

When people kill each other “for no reason,” there’s often still a reason (though not an excuse)- territory in the case of gang or murder of romantic partners, protection or survivor’s benefits for your own family for soldiers killing in war, or people accidentally letting a killer instinct loose during play for people who get into brawls or similar. Even horrific crimes like genocide are committed out of a dual protective of kin/and aggressive of outsiders instinct.

The Wikipedia lists possible reasons, but we don’t actually know why animals do this when it’s actively harmful to them yet.

I don’t see how that supports that humans are one of a few species that kills for no reason, if we know that other animals kill in scenarios where it hurts them and we don’t actually commonly kill each other for no reason.

You might not, but I do 🤷

I don’t like chimps, but bonobos and gorillas are also very chill
