Tetris, on the gameboy.

Dutch, a funky dutch dialect, English and I understand German but I don’t speak it. Should probably learn it.

Honestly I quite like it here. It’s obviously not perfect but when I compare it to other countries we do rather well.

Honestly my biggest complaint is that it’s so full. I recently visited Norway and the vast forests and just untamed nature is gorgeous and the air quality is great. But then again nothing is really far away in the Netherlands so ups and downs.

Yeah my family (mostly my grandma) used that one too but in Dutch. Wat je kop vergeet moeten de benen ontgelden.

Yeah it’s odd. Nobody says S’il vous plaît but we do say svp out loud.

I speak Dutch, reading Danish is a trip. Dat wil zeggen -> det vil sige. And yes we use dwz.

We use plenty of abbreviations like that too. Like aub for alstublieft. Meaning please, or more literally if you would be so inclined.

His brother (Jezza) is a great artist and while I don’t know much about him I don’t think he’s anything like shad. I regularly see him cooperate on a warhammer channel called tabletop time and they have videos about women in the warhammer scene (made by one of their female members). So I highly doubt those two have much in common.

Honestly also some very non niche things that are big on reddit aren’t much of a thing here. Like the Netherlands subreddit is the second largest non English speaking sub. It’s barely a thing on Lemmy.

Honestly I’m engaging more on lemmy in comments but if you manage to create a nice list of fun subs to follow on reddit a lot of complaints about bots and stuff are less problematic. Then again I also follow some Dutch subs and they seem to have less bots with the language barrier and all.

Lemmy does seem to be more negative though. A lot of doom and gloom here. I’m not really into Linux but I’ll admit that windows and Microsoft ain’t great. However the amount of complaining about how shit Microsoft is on stead of being enthusiastic about Linux baffles me. And you see these things in other communities too. The reddit helldivers community seems to be a bunch of memes and the lemmy oke a bunch of complaints.

Then again my comments seem to actually reach people on Lemmy so I am more active here.

My dad found a OG gameboy in a train when I was a kid so when I actually played tetris lol. Close my eyes and see the bricks fall. (which is what the tetris effect is.)

Then I had it with Mario Kart, close my eyes and see the track move.

And the weirdest thing is when I finally got properly used to vr and played 3 hours of half-life: Alyx straight. I had to physically touch a wall to convince a part of my mind that this was real life, and not vr.

So using the Dunning-Krueger effect to prove how smart you are is an example of the Dunning-Krueger effect?

Nowadays it’s probably also because of the dominance of American culture, especially online.

A local church is about that old (or it’s at least that old, the oldest record of it is from 1262). But there might just be a barn or a windmill that’s much older and nobody knows because at that point it’s actually medieval and record keeping wasn’t great back then.

I’m Dutch and a zoo near me has racoons too. But then again they’re an invasive species here so it’s not as weird.

this song earworm that’s really annoying to play smash bros to.

Captain Holt in brooklyn 99. He’s both black and gay but the most standout thing about him is how he is extremely precise and organised and how he shows very little emotion.

He’s portrayed by Andre Braugher who sadly enough past away last year.

On one hand, fuck em. Blow it all up! Helps us going green.

On the other hand I already struggle to afford petrol and I’m physically unable to take another transportation method.

It’s funny that I hear this a lot but I’ve been using my dx racer since 2017. I am quite skinny though so that might help. I’m wearing through the fake leather now though, looking to get something new by the end of this year. But the damage is mostly my fault for sitting half crossed legged, sometimes while wearing shoes.

If you want want a fun lighthearted way you could listen/watch adeptus rediculous. It’s one guy who knows a lot explaining warhammer to another guy who knows basically nothing.

Was this added for the shrek 4D movie thing? I saw that in an amusement park once. The dragon sneezes in your face.
