Lemmylefty , in What language do you wish you could speak (and/or read)?
@Lemmylefty@lemmy.world avatar

American with only one language under my belt.

I used to be somewhat passable with American Sign Language, and keep meaning to get back into it. I wish others knew even a little bit, so when I’m feeling nonverbal I could just sign as much.

I’m teaching myself Norwegian via apps and books, but I have no one to talk to. :(

MadBabs , in What language do you wish you could speak (and/or read)?

Spanish and German

BreadTanky , in So far What are your thoughts on Lemmy?

Ehhh, not as nearly as much content as reddit or Twitter, so you end up seeing the same posts over and over.

I’m hoping to see more instances and communitues pop up. I do enjoy the sorta wild west feel it has with users from different instances hating each other

PsyrusTheGreat , in What Do You Do When You Are Bored?

Jump Rope.

Those are All really Good Ones

FreeFacts , in What is something your country doesn't get enough credit for?

Linux. Finland.

Wouldn’t have been created without the free universal education that provided Torvalds the free access to university’s licenses and hardware.

omalaul ,

Big one. Basically the whole modern world depends on Linux and I don’t even think that’s too much of an exaggeration

HandwovenConsensus OP ,

Linux itself probably doesn’t get enough credit. People still think it’s an obscure nerd OS.

trimmerfrost , in What Do You Do When You Are Bored?

Browse Lemmy, rewatch my favorite Movies, listen to Music, don’t shower, sleep long hours, try to study, masturbate to 2D girls, randomly feel hopeless about my future, hug my pillow pretending it to be my non-existent girlfriend

Lol I guess we have lots in common then lol it’s frustrating because the only thing that entertains me is the internet and when it get boring I don’t know what to do

trimmerfrost ,

Oh yeah. Dunno what else to say. It’s weird. I’m weird

Weird is cool

PhantomAudio , in What was something you were surprised to learn is or isn't unique to your country?

indiana, usa

the almost cultish consumption of coca cola. in northern indiana we have a fair amount of “authentic” and “american” mexican restaurants. almost all of them serve coca cola in a glass bottle from mexico. it tastes so much better than the plastic bottle/can american coca cola

brainfreeze ,

Mexican coke is the best coke.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This might not be exactly the kind of thing you’re asking, but – as an English speaker (and American) – it always surprises me just how universal the word “okay” is.

HandwovenConsensus OP ,

That surprises me as well. Also “taxi.” And there are very few languages where the word for “tea” isn’t etymologically related to either “te,” “cha,” or “chai.”

XTL , in People whose original language isn't English, which dialect did you try to imitate while learning?

Finn here. Never tried to imitate anything. More like tried to find a clean and sensible or neutral approach if possible, if anything.

HandwovenConsensus , in If you could, what feature would you take from reddit?

This isn’t the kind of question this community is for. Here are some you could try instead: !asklemmy, !meta or !reddit.

This community is for questions about other countries or cultures. Since this is off-topic, I’m going to lock this thread.
