The Menemen!

Why do they measure your feet as an adult? Is that common in the US? I don’t think i had my feet measured since I was 15 or so.

Edit: I also want to applaude you for wearing Spiderman socks in this specific post!

Nah, that is not really true. There has been a significant bump due to covid, but before covid IQ test results have shown constant improvements.

That said, I don’t think IQ and political idiocy are that strongly correlated. I’ve met a lot of highly trained people, who would doubtlessly get great IQ test results, who are politically extremely gullible.

That also said, IQ tests are a quite flawed way to assess intelligence.

My personal believe is: This is not about people getting dumber, but about propagandists getting better. I also think that unsteadiness is a way better catalysator for fascism than low intelligence.

Yes, lemmy is not mainstream. But man, you are complaining about 1.4k upvotes on non-corporate media. This is extraordinary.

Reminds me of once when a friend told me a story how someone watched his dick when he was peeing. When he got angry someone calmed him by sayong “Don’t worry, he is just gay.”

Yeah, why does this make sexual harasment any better?

I’d say here in Germany it is mostly a unpopularity contest.

In some crowded places they do it, so it doesn’t feel like a central station.

Imo Greensoeeves mostly endured because it can be perfectly whistled by everyone and still be played by professional musicians in a way that awes the audience.

This will probably not be th reason why current songs will stay arround. If society doesn’t break down, I assume that every popular melody, be it from the US, China or Lebanon, will stay around and get reused every ~30 years to grab some quick money.

Because he’d never do it anyway.

I also liked Paris and I’ve been there twice in summer. People weren’t actively going out of their way to be unfriendly to us, so this was great compared to the rest of france.

Everyone we asked for help did their best to help us, though we have 0 french knowledge. I had very different experiences elsewhere in France (we quickly learned to only speak to arab people outside Paris, if we needed help, worked fine).

We skipped most touristy places and just had a few relaxing days there both times. So that might also be, why we had a pleasant time in Paris.

Gelsenkirchen and Duisburg are kinda famous atm.

That every man has to be a breadearner, a handyman and be able to physically defend their home&family.

Sir, this is a steak house. We have hundreds of baby cows come here every year.

A used book for 12£ is maybe 8€ more than I normally spent on used books.

I mean, beards are in fashion for several years now, aren’t they?

I personally started growing a beard, because my skin is easily irritated and I don’t like walking arround looking like a pizza. Luckily I also think I look better with a short, well kept full beard. Beards either take time or look like shit though in my experience.

Probably the odd restroom and some storage rooms?

That used to be fairly common 10-15 years ago.

He gets a lot of backlash in the disussions though (also 72% downvotes).

Nestlé sucks. But I’d assume Ferrero uses even more palm oil. It is in pretty much all of their stuff.
