Jup, das ist eine immer gängigere Interferenz aus dem Englischen - im Deutschen wird eigentlich entweder nur die Jahreszahl (wie jetzt auch im korrigierten Titel) oder die Phrase "im Jahr 2025" verwendet

dict.cc ist einfach so ein gutes Nachschlagewerk (vor allem die Audioaufnahmen und die total schlanke App sind klasse) und in meinem Übersetzungsstudium gab es eigentlich niemanden, der da nicht regelmäßig vorbeigeschaut hat

Dasselbe mit Kindern, wenn man selbst (noch) keine hat:

"Mimimi krieg erstmal selber welche, dann reden wir nochmal darüber"

Hey all,

I recently learned that Lemmy allows setting the language of a post before posting it (for example, if the language of a post is set to German, only people who choose to view German posts can see it).

When using Lemmy in a browser, you can simply use a drop-down menu to define the language of the post to be created, but even as I write this very post in Boost, there is no option or toggle for me to choose the language of this post in Boost. Did I miss something or has this not been implemented in Boost yet? Thanks in advance!

In addition, the German language does not really differentiate between turtles and tortoises: both are called "shield toads", but if you want to be more specific, you can say "water shield toads" or "land shield toads", respectively.

I am absolutely interested!

Ich kann vermutlich noch nicht so viel beitragen, aber ich stolper immer mal wieder über kleine deutsche Lokalvereine zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit, die in einer englischsprachigen Community einfach keinen Platz haben, also wäre ich definitiv interessiert :)

Das ist ein Film, bei dem ich sehr froh bin, ihn gesehen zu haben (tatsächlich nach 8 Jahren oder so noch ein zweites Mal mit meinem Freund, der ihn noch nicht gesehen hat), aber das ist auch ein Film, den ich nicht unbedingt nochmal gucken muss

I am not a crocodile; therefore, this sign is not for me

A few years ago, I found the music genre Math rock (especially instrumentals) which has been phenomenal for whenever I have to be productive, since my brain is hyped and busy enough to not bother me with thoughts, but not too busy to be completely distracted. I swear it's like handing my toddler brain a tablet just to have a few minutes of uninterrupted time to be able to do some Adult Things like writing emails and uni stuff.

if someone is interested, I can drop the link to my Math rock playlist on Spotify

Edit: Here you go, a link for my little playlist with mainly Math rock tracks (aptly called "Traubenzucker", which is German for "dextrose" lol): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/30EWXxsm8mj2exYlne10Dw?si=D6kBAFemQe2BKiL9WWCPJQ&pt=f6f1836c5d7b6182ea91098653b5b127&pi=iC_J-yz6RrOie

I think this link only works for a week, so if the link is invalid, just send me a message and I'll send you a new one :)

I'm not an expert, but if you press the layer button next to the three stripes on the top right corner, you can choose between different map layers - the second to last option has a green dot icon and is probably called something like "objects" (I'm using the German version, so I don't know what the option is called in English). Then, after choosing a spot and pressing the plus button on the bottom left, you can add various objects like benches, trash cans, trees etc. yourself without having to leave a note for someone else to add it. But I think StreetComplete can only add little objects and metadata to already existing things, so for creating completely new streets, stairs, buildings etc. you have to use another OSM editor.

Hey all!

Today I finally had time and an occasion to fold something - it's a present for a friend whose absolute favourite animals are lions. I used the following instruction video from Madiyar Amerkeshev's YouTube channel (I couldn't find any diagrams, though):

https://youtu.be/3ZSjkIlZyLw?si=xqFakIqaBprv2H6U

The size of the paper I used (20x20 cm) resulted in a lion which is roughly 14 cm long and 6 cm high. It took me a few tries to get the right proportions especially of the chin and face - what you see here is my third attempt. I also took some liberties in shaping the lions back and repositioning one of the front leg to give the lion a more dynamic pose than shown in the video (the thumbnail shows another way to pose the front leg).

Other videos on this channel look promising as well, so the chances of me folding something else from Madiyar Amerkeshev in the future are quite high :)

Also please ignore the wrinkly fabric of my sofa lol

If I remember correctly, words that are basically linguistic cousins are called cognates
