You know how to can get turned off of eggs if you get the egg ick.

I don't think I do know actually. But here's an attempt at answering this question anyway:

And bonus, anybody know why that happens?

We are usually very quick at relating sickness or even discomfort to the food we ate at the time or slightly before. This is a very valuable trait to avoid food that is unhealthy or even poisonous. But it's only based on correlation, so it can turn us off food that is not actually causing the sickness but we just happened to eat at the time.

a lot of the stigma surrounding sex work in the modern day (that doesn't just boil down to misogyny/gender norms/religion) is based on the fact that selling intimate aspects of one's self places a set value on something that many see as sacred

The fact that most of the times the stigma only clings to the person selling and not the person buying makes me think that this is actually a negligible part of the stigma.

Are you telling me your fairytale wedding does not include doves hacking out the eyes of your stepsister or your stepmother dancing to her death in shoes of red hot iron? Boooring.

No, MareOfNights, I also find that weird.

Start with praise and honest opinion.

So which is it?

Seriously though, I hate it when people throw in some praise completely unrelated to the thing we are talking about at the moment in an attempt to soften the criticism. It just seems really transparent and fake to me. Praise people for things when they are doing them, not as sugarcoating for your criticism. That just devalues the praise and your criticism. But maybe that's just my stereotypical German directness.

To be fair though, there are way more cows than crocodiles, snakes, sharks or deadly spiders in the UK.

Adding to what the other comments have already said: Don't bring an unleashed dog on a cow pasture. You'd think that's common sense, but apparently it's a bit of a meme in Austria and Switzerland that every few months some German get's trampled by cows because their totally friendly dog ran towards the cows and they felt threatened.

Legendary you say? Relatively unknown outside of Germany (and other German speaking countries) you say?

Let me introduce you to Dschinghis Khan by Dschingis Khan

(99 Luftballons, which was mentioned here before, is arguably the bigger hit that really everyone knows. But I couldn't resist throwing this out there. It was a huge hit and is still known.)

Einfach direkt Kinder verbieten. Löst auch das CO2-Problem langfristig.

Gehört zu den "vielen mehr" nicht auch der Kinderschutzbund? Diese Kinderschutz-Gegner immer!

Dass du nächstes Jahr ein 2 für 1 Angebot finden wirst, möchte ich nicht garantieren, aber generell sind Sonnencremeangebote zu Beginn des Sommers üblich, ja.

Mit dem auf Vorrat kaufen wäre ich bei Sonnencreme vorsichtig, weil der Schutz irgendwann nachlässt. Geöffnet sollte man sie normalerweise nicht mehr im nächsten Sommer verwenden. Geschlossen ist das bestimmt länger, aber ich persönlich bin da lieber auf der sicheren Seite.

Ich weiß nicht, ob das woanders anders war, aber als ich letzte Woche in Stuttgart war, hab ich "Lasst euch nicht die Autos wegnehmen" Wahlplakate der CDU gesehen. Das ist ein wörtliches Zitat, kein sinngemäßes.

 

Wenn meine Sprachkenntnisse und meine aktuelle Konzentrationsfähigkeit es zulassen, konsumiere ich Medien eigentlich am liebsten in Originalsprache. Vor allem Bücher von englischsprachigen Autor:innen lese ich eigentlich gerne auf Englisch. Bisher hab ich sie mir dann meistens gekauft. Bei deutschen Büchern bin ich mittlerweile fast komplett zum Ausleihen, meistens in EBook-Form, übergegangen und würde das für Englisch auch gerne tun. Das Angebot an englischsprachigen Büchern und EBooks ist in meiner Bibliothek und auch bei anderen, bei denen ich geschaut hab, allerdings eher... dürftig. Hat jemand einen Tipp?

 

Da ja gerade Gewittersaison ist, liest man öfter wieder die Empfehlung, dass man – sofern man nicht in einem Auto oder Gebäude Schutz suchen kann – eine möglichst tief gelegene, freie Fläche aufsuchen soll, in die Hocke gehen, die Füße eng nebeneinander stellen und die Arme um die Knie legen soll.
In der Realität habe ich das aber noch nie jemanden machen sehen. Abstand von Bäumen halten die meisten noch, aber darüber hinaus überwiegt "wird schon nicht ausgerechnet hier einschlagen". Ich schließe mich da selbst mit ein.
Seid ihr da weniger nachlässig und haltet auch an die Empfehlungen?

 

I have selected Subscribed as the default in my General settings:

When switching from my instance (feddit.de) to the Everything feed, I end up in Subscribed no matter which option I choose in the menu shown below. This is expected behaviour if I select Subscribed but not for Local or All. With pictures:

Choosing one of these

Also leads to this result

I used Subscribed as an example, but the same thing happens with Local or All as default, then Local or All will be shown respectively.

The weird thing is, it only happens switching from my instance, not if I was in one of the lemmy.world feeds or already in Everything (so selecting the intended option again a second time works, but I guess that's not how it's meant to work).

 

I just tried to delete my display name in the account settings and it didn't work. I deleted the name in the box and pressed the save button at the bottom. Then I returned to my profile and the display name was still there. Refreshing and reopening the app didn't change that. Returning to the account settings, the display name was back in the box. I tried several times with the same results. Changing the name does work, but removing it doesn't. I thought at first it might just not be possible in Lemmy, but I successfully removed it in Jerboa.

 

As a former rif user, I really miss being able to see where a text hyperlink will take me without having to actually follow that link. It helped me avoid websites I don't want to visit (for example because they are full of trackers or I already know there is a paywall).

In rif tapping a link opened a pop up showing the linked URL and the options to share, copy or go to that URL. But I can see how other people might dislike that extra step to follow a link, so maybe there are other options like only long tapping on a link showing the URL.

Or is there already a way to do this and I'm just ignorant?
