  • Reading a few articles about this, it seems a big concern is area. They wanna squeeze them in every free space they have between and around roads. Conveyor belts can probably do a lot sharper curves etc. than railways. If they do special small rails, they’ll also need special trains for that.

    From the articles it’s also not clear if it’s from one point to another point or from multiple to multiple. They talk about deliveries, which would rather be multi to multi, but it’s not explicitly mentioned anywhere.

    Such mentality likely has to do with the environment. I read some that strategy games are more popular in Northern Europe than in Southern Europe, with the explanation that strategic planning is more essential for survival when the amount of sunlight is limited and there are months were you can’t really go outside because of snow and coldness.

    That would mean adverse conditions require it more to plan for the future. Coldness is indeed just an example for such an environment.

    scrolling through the list of emojis when good ol’ emoticons do the trick

    That’s why they usually have a search integrated or even quick access for the ones used lately. Lemmy’s emoji picker will give you 🥶 if you search for “cold”, “frozen”, “freezing” or “frost”, though not for “ice”.

    a man sees a dog

    Order matters. In languages with more redundancy that would work:

    Ein Mann sieht einen Hund

    subject verb object

    Einen Hund sieht ein Mann

    object verb subject

    But even there it breaks if you switch the articles, though there are languages with a lot higher redundancy than German. The less analytic a language is the better that works. Analytic has less forms, but requires a more rigid structure.

    The still English can order any legible fact and be completely written in that is be

  • plenty of places where housing is still affordable

    There are even places where people would give you houses nearly for free, but nobody wants to live there and the infrastructure is crap.

    Edit: Seems there are really some houses in Germany that are 100% free, but they have expensive liabilities like mandatory redevelopment etc. There are reasons why the previous owner gave up ownership instead of selling it.
