Finally

Language dependent maths

Wasn’t the “inuits have dozens of words for snow” thing kinda disproven? Afaik they only have like 5 or something, the reason people were saying there were so many is because Inuktitut, Greenlandic, etc are polysynthetic languages, meaning you can pack a LOT of information into one word (it’s possible to make complex one-word sentences for example). This does mean that there are a lot of words based off the root for snow, which is where people got the idea

The main bluesky feed is also chronological, however, it has a desperate discover feed which is algorithmic (I think mastodon might have that as an option now?)

The first part works better with a polish ESL accent compared to a more native one btw

One of the polish words for luck is “fart”

It’s photoshopped, it comes from an earlier picture posted here with pierogi

English tends to be very etymological with its spelling but i support people simplifying it tbh

Thanks for telling us a joke is a joke

Are you thinking of Hebrew?

Just give it up you’re not winning this argument 😭

Anyone sane would have realised this is a useless thing to fight over

Either that or you’re a troll

Devolving to linguistic prescriptivism just proves you don’t have an argument anymore lol

It’s Zulu and it’s asking you to look for buses

I have faith that it’s possible to reform at least some of them, even if it’s not everyone

A lot of what gets people into these beliefs is environmental factors and the beliefs of those around them

Oh my bad, I didn’t know that was the actual reason

Most other thorn-users I’ve interacted with were doing it out of an attempt to reform English spelling so

It’s not an anti AI thing and I have no idea why people keep repeating this misinformation

It’s an internet phenomenon, called Bring Back Thorn, which has been around since before LLMs became popular

There is a “big main instance” effect that seems to form unfortunately

And the barrier to transferring instances is quite high

In Polish, “United States” is Stany Zjednoczone, but the acronym is USA, even though that doesn’t match up at all

EXACTLY, English has diminutives like many other languages

Also, slang terms are as “correct” as any other words, the only difference is the context where you use them

They’re not banned, but some ISPs block them anyways
