@Boozilla Smoked trout is the only trout based food I know that doesn’t smell like satan’s unwashed genitals.
@Funkymatt You want something that tells people that doing a U-Turn is a normal thing to do with a car?
I’m sorry to tell you that an equivalent of Karma existed from the very beginning (though rather than being Upvotes minus Downvotes, it was Boosts minus Downvotes until a few days ago due to a bug). It’s called Reputation and you can see it by viewing someone’s profile in kbin. At the time of writing this, your Reputation points seem to be at 443. Reputation isn’t being used for anything though, and while it can technically be tracked by anyone, lemmy hides that information so far.
[In fact, you can see who gave up- or downvotes to something and you can also see what someone up- or downvoted (or boosted, but that’s a given, since boosting is equivalent to retweeting). This information is out there for anyone to access who spins up their own instance due to how federation works, so the developer of kbin decided to make it public so people are at least aware of this fact.]
Booooo, it’s age restricted and I never managed to age-verify my youtube account.
Right-clicked on the link, copied link, went to archive.org, pasted link into wayback machine, selected most recent (in this case only) snapshot.
As you can imagine, it doesn’t work if archive.org hasn’t archived the link yet.
I like the idea of activityPub getting more focus so it can be optimized and improved.
Just like Google did with XMPP, most of those improvements will be for Threads/Meta only while making the rest of the fediverse look subpar.
Gabs schon vor Lases, also soll’s es auch nach Lases weiter geben.
Schadenfreudler /ˈʃɑː.dɘnˌfrɔ͜ɪd̥.lɘr/
If you don’t know how to read IPA, roughly “SHAAH-then-FROYD-ler”
Btw: I just constructed this word based on my native speaker intuition. I doubt that you can find it in a dictionary, because it’s not something one would force into a single word. A more natural way to say what you mean would be “Leute, die (hier) (auch) Schadenfreude empfinden”, which translates to “people who (also) feel Schadenfreude (here)”.
Imagine Jesus as a director of a company that accepts all sincere applicants. The director assumes responsibility for all the mistakes his employees make, but he doesn’t assume responsibility for people who only claim to be employees. People who purposely commit crimes get fired and applications by people who apply with the purpose of commiting crimes get rejected for not being sincere. (That’s not to say someone who once was fired can’t reapply if they’re actually sincere about it, but since God sees into people’s hearts and minds, you can’t trick him.)
Comedians and similar people who make content out of stuff they see in the news seem to be especially prone to this kind of thinking. They see an article about a phyics discovery or a math theorem or a sociology experiment and say something about science should focus on solving world hunger or curing cancer instead.
Seemingly ignorant of the facts that
a) Science isn’t a monolith, and a sociologist or mathematician isn’t a virologist or oncologist or whatever else would be needed for the problem they’re ranting about.
b) Even if someone happened to be in the correct field for the problem the idiot is ranting about, they often couldn’t help with the problem anyway because they’re lacking the required experience and knowledge and just throwing people at the problem doesn’t help if those people are grad students or barely postgrads.

Warum “Deutschland” und nicht “Deutsch”? Grüsse aus CH.
I also love Beule by David Gilbert at Carlsen. It nearly always made me go aww and smile reading a strip of it in the newspaper.
That said, I can’t recommend binge-reading it, it loses its charm that way.
Beule is the German name. I wasn’t able to find out how it’s called in any other language, even though it being published by Carlsen implies German is probably not the original language (I primarily associate Carlsen with Spirou/Gaston by Hergé, who is francophone Belgian, iirc)
Edit: it’s -> its
Easy. Kbin/lemmy admins actually listen to their users, unlike spez and his cronies. The asshole can move to their own instance and continue there, but that might get them defederated.
There is not a single word that’s universal to all languages.
Even if there had ever been one at some point, there are languages that have/had word retirement as part of the culture speaking it: If a word is used as someone’s name and that person dies, that word is now taboo and a new word is needed to refer to what the old word stood for.
Conlanging, especially by laypeople, often explicitly makes up most or all of its vocabulary from scratch or uses cyphers to make the connection invisible. I wouldn’t be surprised if a people made up their own secret language from scratch, maybe initially with very similar grammar, that developed into a native language for a community.
Have you heard of Cockney rhyming slang? Take a word like “fart”, use a two part word that rhymes with it, like “raspberry tart”, then drop the rhyming part. That leaves you with “raspberry” meaning “fart” and no discernible connection to the old words this utterance/meaning pair came from.
Sign languages are languages as well, and in multiple instances developed from the ground up without influence from the surrounding spoken languages.
Your comment made this post so much funnier than it already was 🤣
