Femboys are you doing today I hope you have a great day

C’mon, une machine a laver is obviously a girl! Unless you call it a lave-linge instead, in which case it’s a boy.

Might be hard to believe, but Buzzfeed News (the now-extinct “serious” branch of Buzzfeed) used to have genuinely good reporters that wrote award-winning articles

The amount of processing power that would be needed to listen the output of billions of devices 24/7 just to push ads wouldn’t make economic sense.

Not an American, but I can totally relate with that. Some politicians in my country have taken a page from Trump’s playbook since 2016 and have started telling blatant lies on TV, the kind that are supposed to be easily refuted by any one with half a brain, and not getting any serious pushback. It took me a long time to get past the “Wait, they can’t do that, that’s not how it works!” phase

Ironically, it’s called “Filer a l’anglaise” (leaving the English way) in France

Meh, “proper cuisine” is definitely accurate since it’s our national pride, but most of the others don’t really feel like french stereotypes. “Soggy pastry” for Denmark even sounds suspiciously american, I’ve never heard anyone say that about this country in France and I don’t even know what it’s referring to

As far as I remember they weren’t monetizing NSFW subs, so I guess their reasoning is that banning them reduces server costs while not impacting their ads revenue.

Now what will be interesting is to see how much of Reddit’s userbase was there at least partly for the porn, and how many users will leave Reddit altogether because of this move

Ah, the memories! Moon moon used to be my favourite meme some 15 years ago

Imagine, as a senior federal employee, seeing a 25 yo nerd barging into your office uninvited and asking you questions without revealing as much as their name. US feds really must be paragons of politeness and patience for not telling them to fuck off right away

La communauté française n’en est peut-être pas encore là, mais je trouve que la quantité de contenu anglophone est largement suffisante pour créer cette sensation de place publique remplie d’inconnus qui discutent. J’espère que cette nouvelle petite vague d’arrivants du reddit français nous permettra d’atteindre la même chose sur jlai.lu

J’ai jeté un oeil aux deux threads et j’ai vu que quelqu’un donnait le meilleur conseil du monde : vous prenez pas la tête pour les histoires d’instance, créez juste un compte sur jlai.lu et le reste sera transparent.

C’est con mais pour moi ça a vraiment été une grosse barrière le fonctionnement décentralisé de Lemmy au début, je comprenais pas comment ça marchait et j’avais peur de pas m’inscrire sur le bon site. Finalement après 2 ans d’utilisation je comprends toujours pas trop le fonctionnement technique de tout ça, mais ça m’a jamais empêché de profiter tranquillement de Lemmy

I think they made a mistake, the bag specifically says it’s not full of drugs and everybody knows that bags, being inanimate objects, don’t have the ability to lie

So when his minister of education said that there was an “islamo-leftism” problem in French universities, that was Lepen’s fault? What about when his interior minister told Lepen that he fault she was getting a bit too soft on immigration? Or when Macron himself said, about two weeks ago, that African countries should thank France for all it did to them? Or when he told us that the left was as dangerous as the far-right?

I could go on for pages

I didn’t know I needed this in my life but this strikes a chord in me

That documentary made me feel a bit sick at the time, especially given how popular it was despite making a ton of unbacked claims and taking weird sides

And, just like that, 2025 is already up for a very good start

Ce soir on fait la fête

As a bonus, Gerber means “to vomit” in French

It happens every year. Basically, ever since media started publishing statistics on which city had the most burnt cars on new years eve, some people made it a challenge of which city will “win”
