Fonzie!

But it’s also NoStupidQuestions.

I think you need to specify your European country, because small French villages have awful infrastructure while their cities have amazing infrastructure.

But even here in the Netherlands, if I’d live in a village and I wanted to go to another village further away I’d need to take the train to the nearest city and then take another train to said village. This often takes much longer than by car. Also, while basic shopping needs like a supermarket, greengrocer and some basic repair shops might be there (maybe just the supermarket) you don’t have access to… Anything else really, and need to take the car there, too. Sadly, necessary non-commercial facilities like hospitals and higher education are also missing from most villages here.

Does anyone have a (reliable) (news) source on this?

Good to know kids have been scarred with fake feces since the 90’s!

I recognise that “kentawur” is correct, but reject it because “sentar” just sounds more correct.

Nintendo Switch 2 getting more details, and knowing Nintendo probably a release date within a short time span, is true.

For one, April 1st has always been a date to make big announcements in Japan, not one for jokes. Nintendo just learned to move that one day for westerners (:

I mean, Google announcing a Möbius-shaped keyboard would still be a good April 1st joke, “obviously fake news” from a news source wouldn’t be because it’s not obvious, anymore.

I’ve seen the Tiktoks a million times, yes.

Light hearted pranks are still great for April 1st!

But just for a bit!

Often news sources make sure anything that could make their news source look bad, like controversial topics, are someone else’s exact words that they quote so you can’t be mad at them for calling it a “war crime”…

Good eye!

I don’t see an umbrella, though; she might just be jumping to her death.

Who has 105 days off in a year‽

EDIT I forgot weekends, man it’s time to sleep.

I guess so, but it’s still very much a large scale social media as we know it (e.g. YouTube, Twitter, Reddit…), and definitely a far cry from private chats on platforms like FB Messenger or WhatsApp…

Your first three sum up to:

• Italian food but worse
• Mexican food but worse
• Food that’s probably better in most other places

I think OP is set on those in the future, but otherwise good recommendations IG

Really? Because Weibo is much like Twitter or Instagram in China; everybody and their grandma is on it, it has everything from memes to politicians posting their thoughts. It seems very public to me, albeit if you have an account (which just about everyone there does)

What did you mean by isolated?

I can tell you, most of South East Asia operates on Instagram and Facebook. And Chinese people’s obsession with Weibo (like Mastodon) and Douyin (Chinese TikTok) are also on their whole own level!

Reddit, what Lemmy aims to replace, is very much Western.

See, even your metaphor contains US-only brands.

Also, what’t up with Americans speaking in brands?
Why can’t it be a local shop a few streets away from the supermarket?

Geograohically they aren’t, but they’re culturally similar, sure.

It also seems like English changing the letter J from a /j/ sound to a /dzj/ sound didn’t help, going by how “Iacobus” became Jacob somewhere down that line.
