It’s even crazier that office spaces are designed like that. And then managers are suprised that everyone wears headphones in the office.
It’s not just about music. Like some bars and restaurants with modern interior have shitty acoustics, since they are open spaces with concrete walls and large windows. I went to a restaurant recently, wasn’t super crowded, music was played at low volume, still had a hard time hearing people. Since everyone in the room had to speak louder and louder to make themselves heard and overcome the reverb in the room.
And what about the Romance languages. They call Germany “Land of the Alemanni”, they called an entire country full of different tribes after a single Germanic tribe that lived near the French/Italian border. It’s like calling the entire country of the Netherlands Amsterdam.

Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 sales stumble over ChristmasEnglish
52·5 days agoIt also offers nothing compelling for the hardcore Nintendo fan unless they just like to collect Nintendo stuff. No new Zelda, Mario, Luigi, Animal Crossing or Smash. I think Nintendo completely misunderstood the market. Mario Kart 8 is the best selling game on the Switch 1. So Nintendo probably thought they should focus on MK for the Switch 2 launch. But MK8 was not the main reason people got the Switch. Like for example they got the Switch for Animal Crossing and then bought Mario Kart as a side game. Mario Kart is universally like by Nintendo fans it’s just not a game that is on top of people’s wishlist. Nintendo fans don’t want to buy a new Nintendo console just for Mario Kart or Donkey Kong.
Price isn’t the main reason why sales are dropping. I doubt that every Nintendo fan with the means to buy one already has one. Most are just waiting for a game they actually want to play.

And we either won’t be invited to the wedding or we will be left behind at the wedding venue.
(When the two galaxies merge we either won’t notice it except seeing the stars dancing in the night’s sky or the planets of our solar system will be flung out of orbit and turning Earth into a rogue planet.)
When my cat does this it means “I feel safe around you but don’t you fucking dare and touch me”
Also how Redneck and Luddite became a slur through propaganda spread by the elites.
So boofing it is the way to go?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany
7·10 days agoWell in Dutch they call themselves Nederlanders or Hollanders. Though Hollanders is technically only correct if they are from the Dutch province North-Holland or South-Holland
here is a CGP Grey video about the difference between Holland and the Netherlands https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE_IUPInEuc
And the reason why the Netherlands is also known as Holland is basically before the unification of the Low Lands every province was a self governing state and Holland was the richest province. Hence why most traders who went abroad from the Low Lands were people from Holland. It’s therefore why people abroad would call the Low Lands Holland since Hollanders were the only people from the Low Lands they met and and after the Netherlands was formed the name Holland for that area stuck in many languages.

Technology@lemmy.world•Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questionsEnglish
6·10 days agoYeah but in that edge case SO wouldn’t help either even before the current crash. Unless you were lucky. I find LLM useful to push me in the right direction when I’m stuck and documentation isn’t helping either not necessarily to give me perfectly written code. It’s like pair programming with someone who isn’t a coder but somehow has read all the documentation and programming books. Sometimes the left field suggestions it makes are quite helpful.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany
20·10 days agoIt’s not really a mix-up. More a continuation of an old name for the language spoken in the Netherlands. The Dutch centuries ago called their language Diets/Duuts/Duits which means something like Germanic. This was before the countries Germany and the Netherlands existed.
Diets is not a single language but a name for all the different regional languages spoken in the low lands. Diets is also known as Middle Dutch. The name was used to differentiate the languages from the Romance languages.
Hence why the English called the people of the low lands Dutch since the people of the low lands said they were speakers of Diets/Duuts/Duits.
Also in the Dutch national anthem there is a line that says “Ben ik van Duitsen bloed” “I am of Dutch/Deutsche blood” which does not refer to modern day Deutschland but to what all Germanic people in the low lands, what is now present day Netherlands, would call themselves back then.

You could get a modded Xbox 360 + Kinect for cheaper than this. It’s not like young kids care so much about graphics anyway.
