47·2 days agoThe wild thing is, thet back then, people knew that they were protecting others from themselves by wearing one.

49·5 days agoUS says a lot these days. I feel like you could trust Iran more than the US at this point.
Some questions are best to be asked at an AI of your choice.

World News@lemmy.world•JUST IN: Iran Ends Direct Talks With US After Trump Threatens to Destroy ‘Whole Civilization’English
25·9 days agoIt isn’t really “talks” when the alternative is to be destroyed as a civilization. That’s bullying and extortion
Well they did clap and seem happy but I guess it’s all for show considering he can close down their place of work and already has warned cuts to it

World News@lemmy.world•JD Vance arrives in Hungary to back Orbán's re-election bidEnglish
1·9 days agoIt’s not so much surprise at what he does, but more that he can get away with it, and even more that there is no force stopping him from within the USA. Let alone that he still has a massive backup in the population compared to his actions

81·9 days agoThe fact that he won’t be impeached will O ly make it harder to do later on when he will keep pushing the line

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•What do Putin, Trump & Netanyahu have in common?
111·10 days agoThis does not even scratch the surface of what Trump has going. Not even close. In fact, even with a much shorter period in charge, he has surpassed the controversial actions of the two others, (probably) put together

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are the most confusing false friends from your language to another that are spelled exactly the same?
49·11 days agoIn Danish, and probably other Scandinavian languages, the word for speed, is ‘fart’. In older days it also meant movement, so it is part of a bunch of other words. Therefore we have word like
- Fartkontrol (speed control)
- Fartpilot (cruise control)
- Topfart (top speed)
- Middelfart (city in Denmark)
- Overfart (ferry crossing)
- Fartbump (speed bump)
- Fartblind (unaware of one’s speed)
- Fartplan (timetable)
- Nedfart (descent)
- Dampfart (steam navigation)
- Indfart (entry road)

news@lemmings.world•Trump ‘probably in panic mode’ over US jets shot down and missing pilot in Iran, says his former national security adviserEnglish
18·12 days agoI’m sure that behind closed doors, he’s already called those pilots losers for getting shot or killed
If you’ve seen the video and don’t find it funny, I don’t think that any explanation or context will help. I guess not everyone has the same humour




















I was indeed guessing but there is an interesting read

‘public health leaders rebranded personal care as a display of patriotism and duty to make men to wear masks.’
‘In 1927, Edwin Jordan’s definitive study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association as a series of articles and then as a book, determined that masks were effective when worn by patients already sick or by those directly exposed to victims, including nurses and physicians.’
