Someone once told me to that words for things that are not traded across linguistic borders exhibit more linguistic diversity (as in, neighbouring countries use completely different words that share no common etymological roots etc.). Butterfly is one key example.

notsofunnycomment@mander.xyzOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Crossing the Atlantic on a sailing ship as a passenger?3·10 个月前I didn’t know it yet. But it looks interesting. Thanks for the tip.
notsofunnycomment@mander.xyzOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do stores use bank account info to analyze shopping patterns?6·10 个月前Does that mean that anonymous loyalty cards don’t really add any extra tracking capabilities?
Then what is the benefit for retailers? That some people don’t use those cards and are thus paying too much?
notsofunnycomment@mander.xyzOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Crossing the Atlantic on a sailing ship as a passenger?2·10 个月前Thanks. The tall ships look amazing.
I don’t understand why there arent more commercial options around. Aren’t there armies of rich tourists and digital nomads struggling with their CO2 footprints?
Wouldnt it be possible to have WiFi on such tall ships? Wouldnt it be possible for people to work online for some weeks?
notsofunnycomment@mander.xyzOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Crossing the Atlantic on a sailing ship as a passenger?1·10 个月前Thanks, will have a look. (I guess that scammy social platform found a way back into my life).
notsofunnycomment@mander.xyzOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Crossing the Atlantic on a sailing ship as a passenger?3·10 个月前Interesting, thanks. What does “fulltime liveaboard crusier” mean? You spend your days sailing the ocean? In sailing boats?
notsofunnycomment@mander.xyzOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Crossing the Atlantic on a sailing ship as a passenger?2·11 个月前Those are regular cruise ships, right? Yeah no, not interested in that either. Those are incredibly polluting and wasteful things.
notsofunnycomment@mander.xyzOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Crossing the Atlantic on a sailing ship as a passenger?10·11 个月前No, I basically mean a sailing ship. A ship with sails. I’m curious about the possibilities to cross the Atlantic with no/low CO2 emissions. I have adjusted the title to make this clearer!
It’s sad that soon (or actually already now) we won’t be able to (easily?) distinguish amazing photos like this from fake AI ones.

notsofunnycomment@mander.xyzOPto Data is Beautiful@mander.xyz•Breaking Down Google's 2011 RevenuesEnglish3·11 个月前Interesting. Thanks for your clear explanation.
That’s very cool. How does that compare to https://e.foundation/e-os/ ? (That’s what I’m currently running on my phone).
notsofunnycomment@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is there no sense of "camaderie" in the workplace?3·11 个月前Spot on. This lack of secure employment (and yes, also probably lack of sense of purpose) also undermines the social relationships necessary to collectively bargain (with a union or not) for better working conditions. When workers don’t feel they have each other’s back, they are less likely to pressure an employer for better pay and conditions.
notsofunnycomment@mander.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Morocco releases imprisoned journalists after pardons from King Mohamed VIEnglish7·11 个月前This daddy’s boy ass-twat is not half as brave, knowledgeable, experienced, wise or strong as the people he has imprisoned. And then he uses his own anniversary to “pardon” them. “Pathetic” doesn’t even begin to describe it.
notsofunnycomment@mander.xyzOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•if the total fertility rate drops and stays below global replacement rate, will humans disappear?1·1 年前That’s why I said:
Which would of course also require a collective form of prenatal sex selection
If the goal would be to have a stable population size but with fewer births per woman, I think a collective form of prenatal sex selection (of the kind I describe above) would work.
What this sex selection would look like would be another issue. Whether externally fertilized embryos are selected before they are placed in a womb, or whether it would involve forms of abortion (or even infanticide): it’s up to your imagination.
But there are no lies, nor any misapplied statistics?
