Sony owns the blu-ray format. I’m worried.

My home country (Iceland) has the highest gun ownership in Europe. It’s not much compared to the US, but it’s interesting that we have almost no gun violence. The reason is that we have very strict gun control with thorough background checks, mandatory training and psych evaluations. In addition to that, we have a functioning healthcare system and low income inequality. All these things need to be adressed before the US sees a decrease in gun violence.

Bumblebees fly in a very non-threatening pattern (slow and predictable). Wasps fly like they could suddenly decide to fuck you up at any moment, which is why I’m reluctant to approach them.
But I’m not afraid of regular bees so this may not be what triggers your fear. Also bumblebees are just straight up adorable
I love the fact that Burns answers the phone this way. Subtle jokes like this are the reason why The Simpsons is infinitely rewatchable.
Weird Al is a time traveler confirmed
He posted this joke himself lol
He tried really hard to be called the “real life Tony Stark” and he was successful until, idk, he fired his publicist? Whoever that was did a hell of a job making this moron look smart
You don’t need to ban tipping. Several countries don’t have a tipping culture and that’s because the waiters are paid adequately for their work. Tipping is seen as a bonus after exceptionally good service.
The US should raise the minimum wage for restaurant workers and not make it the customer’s responsibility to make sure the waiter can pay their rent.
Exactly, this research was funded by my tax money but I’m not allowed to read it unless I pay some third party profiteer? That makes no fucking sense
That is actually a lot closer to the Icelandic one, except the F sounds more like a V and -röst rhymes with bust.
As an Icelander, the pronounciations of the nordic names in Marvel movies crack me up. Especially Bifrost (which they pronounce “bi-frost” instead of 'bif-rost", and Laufey (pronounced very differently, also a decidedly female name).
I went on a 2 week holiday earlier this year and I barely took a single picture lol
That’s super interesting! I barely know any Chinese and probably just assumed the characters were for language instead of numbers.
The public transit system used arabic numbers (maybe as well as the Chinese characters?), so at least that was easy to navigate lol
When I went to China about 5 years ago, all the numbers were Arabic numbers. Not sure if this is a regional thing, or if this is a more recent development.
It never made any sense to me that ass is a swear word. It means either a body part or a donkey, neither of which are particularly offensive unless the donkey is performing conservative stand-up comedy.

Idk, I feel like Lemmy has way more dank memes than Reddit. Also more boomer memes.
A catapult can buy many peanuts
If they’re decreasing their production, it could mean that physical media is ending. If so, that fucking sucks because you can’t own anything anymore
