That one was always weird to me as a native German speaker. Dutch has very prominent sounds (mostly the G) that aren’t really present in standard German or English that remind me much more of sore throat or coughing than being drunk.

Many British English dialects are pretty much unintelligible to people who only know standard accents.

That has never been an issue for me …

It’s kinda cool to use spherical ice, but it doesn’t use freezer space efficiently.

How do you even know that’s not a vegan patty with vegan cheese substitute?

Salad doesn’t stay fresh that way for long, and not-fresh salad is kinda gross.

How long do you think that piece of salad is going to stay tasty, though?

The big issue is the salad IMO. I don’t want to eat salad that has been stored like that for even half a day.

IDK about the US, but 2.5% is very common for bottled beer-and-soda mixes (usually lemon- or orange-flavored) here.

I think part of that might be genetic, similar to how cilantro tastes like soap to some people.

Give it one or two years. They’re already doing Hitler salutes in public.

One might say it sounds … goofy.

I know the difference between f and v, the question is whether it makes a difference in this specific case and if yes, whether most native English speakers actually know that. I’m not a native English speaker and words that end in -ooves aren’t that common (when is the last time you said “grooves” or “hooves”?).

English is famously inconsistent about how written letters are pronounced, and there are a lot of accents.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services, though.

Thats a joke, groofs isn’t actually a word(yet 😅), the singular of grooves is groove.

What exactly do you think “hypothetical” means?

Would most native speakers actually pronounce “rooves” differently from “roofs”? Is “grooves” already pronounced differently from a hypothetical “groofs”?

you couldn’t just leave reddit politics-wise because the frontpage literally hammered you with it, so you’d have to stand your ground and fight until users or mods waded in. But here? You can leave lemmy politics-wise because the frontpage is either your subs or local posts filtered through your block lists.

How is this different from Reddit? Reddit has a user feed that consists of communities you’re subscribed to and lemmy’s All is the direct equivalent to r/all, i.e. Reddit’s front page, and you could also block communities (at least with Reddit Enhancement Suite, not sure if that’s a feature of the Reddit itself). The main difference is the existence of instances and their Local feeds. Note that it’s been a while since I used Reddit beyond looking at Reddit posts that I found in web searches, might be that the feeds don’t work like I remember them anymore.

Typos are usually easier to figure out than when people pick the wrong word in autocorrect.

Oh, that’s unexpected! Thanks for the correction.

Mittelalten Gouda gibts eigentlich überall, bei EDEKA sogar von der Billig-Eigenmarke.
