fwiw I have — both the stereotypical “I’m 1/X native American” and also “I’m X% Dutch”, the latter due to folks taking pride in having Dutch heritage, real or imagined, where I grew up.

From context it just sounds like they were saying that a post with that link followed immediately after this one in their lemmy feed. Coming off unnecessarily aggressive.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•End of Life Symbol - Irish hospitalEnglish
13·5 days agoMany if not most religions historically didn’t have a word for their particular belief system; the scholarly name for Germanic paganism is “Germanic paganism” because pre-Christian Germans didn’t have a name for their shared beliefs. Sometimes you may see neologisms or names for neopagan movements applied to the now-dead religion — I’ve seen Germanic neopaganism (aka “Heathenry”)'s less commonly-used “Asatru” used for the original religion in a game. Same with others like “Kemetism”, which refers to the neopagan movement and not the ancient Egyptian religion.
Not a historical scholar but, to my understanding, for a lot of folks “what’s your religion” would have been a nonsensical question because that’s just how the world works and you wouldn’t think of it as being a belief system separate from physically evident reality. Folks are free to correct me on that.

Monitors@piefed.social•AOC argues a new monitor is a better buy than memory or a GPU, and it's technically right, I guessEnglish
5·11 days agoRelatedly — because yes, we love 3-letter name initializations — 6 years and counting since I last could abbreviate Brennan Lee Mulligan without causing mild confusion.
Also yeah I’ve never heard of this company before but figured from context that it probably wasn’t the politician. Though she did play among us and maybe some other PC games with famous twitch streamers during quarantine.

Games@lemmy.world•Portal 2: Community Edition goes open beta on April 17English
13·18 days agoTo add on to what silverchase said, I played 2 first and got the gist of what happened. I do recommend playing Portal 1 if you can get it working, but you won’t be lost without it.
I’ve not played it but Empires of the Undergrowth is an actual ant RTS that came out 2 years ago lol
fwiw not an American thing. I’ve never seen pasta served with meat to the side like that irl.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can you also do this with languages that use the Latin Alphabet?English
4·1 month agofwiw “takeover” is a noun; “take over” would be the verb.
“Lookout” would also be a noun, though their example of “look out” is a verb, yes.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why don;t most of us Americans only need like one foreign language to pass high school? Why not make it mandatory for like 3 or 4 languages?Would that not give us the upper hand when traveling?English
3·1 month agoNo. My high school was 6 55-minute classes with 5 minute breaks between to get to your next class, plus a 45-minute lunch. 7 classes if you elected to take another class starting at 7am instead of the usual 8am. School was just under 8 hours long with 7 classes.
Ugh. Yeah, my mom intentionally allows push notifications from Amazon, Temu, tons of fast food chains, and a bunch of other sources on her phone. It goes off like every thirty seconds.
I don’t get push notifications unless it’s a text or a 2FA email. And for that matter, I don’t understand how people get so many emails or, if they start to, why they don’t unsubscribe from or block all the spam. I get an average of maybe 3 emails a week on my personal accounts.
The Military Selective Service Act was passed in 1948 and registrees were drafted during both the Korean and Vietnam Wars to draft 1,529,539 and 1,857,304 individuals, rezpectively.






I wasn’t arguing against it, I was saying that it does happen.
