They're the leading cause of death in children.
Uh...WHAT? Ain't no fucking way. *checks statistics*
...😳 what the actual fuck. Y'all doin alright down there?
What part are you having trouble with?
Took me until high school to realize bonjour=bon jour=good day. My brain just about exploded. Worldview destroyed.
Ah man, you've got a Cadillac.
I had me an old Panasonic model at my old apartment that wasn't as nice but goddamn if you set that MF to the strongest setting 🫨🫨. The thing would clean your ass, rectum and colon lol.
I know a guy that said he doesn't wash around his ass when he showers because "that's gay as hell". I don't even wanna know what kind of biome he's got flourishing down there.
This would make a ton of sense if your choice of Lemmy instance were not just that; a choice. It's not a characteristic innate to your being that you're born with or something.
You can choose to associate with whatever instance you want and swap it up with another account somewhere else if you want at any time (you can prob keep the same username if you want too).
I spent >10 years of my youth playing a sport competitively. I don't think I ever watched a professional game to completion. Unlike pretty much all my teammates, I just could not have cared less.
Play the sport myself? Fun, sure! Watch someone else play? Uh, why?
I think it's great that people enjoy watching sports. I dunno why but it just bored the hell out of me.
Mediterranean diet has been shown to be a particularly healthy diet by many well designed randomized control trials, not just observational studies.
Good to know! I always assumed Mandarin and Cantonese were interchangeable terms with Simplified and Traditional Chinese, respectively. Saves me from making the mistake IRL.
As of a few years ago at least, most Taiwanese people were in favour of keeping relations as they are and neither expanding nor severing Chinese relations from status quo. They already operate as their own country, so a push towards further separation is mostly only symbolic anyway and they don't want to provoke China and their current peace for a symbolic gesture. I think that by treating Taiwan as its own country but not identifying it as such, we are acting as most Taiwanese wish.
In Japanese, 面 is indeed men but I haven't seen it used for noodles. It is usually used for face, mask, (rarely) man.
麺 is the kanji for noodles (notice that 面 is a radical). But, noodle is also often just written in kana as either めん or メン.
Note I am not a native speaker, so not totally confident.
I believe 面 is used for noodles in Mandarin...?
