Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What misconception are you tired of being spread?
2·4 days agoYes, but bell peppers are also quite sweet. As a kid I learnt that vegetables are from perennial plants (only live for a year) but that rule of thumb is also inconsistent.
Vegetable refuse to be categorised. Become unrulable.

8·5 days agoYeah I meant chomping at the bit. It comes from horses chewing the metal part of the bridle because they’re fired up and want to run.

281·5 days agoI don’t think it is.
They all were colonial powers that oppressed and subdued their colonial holdings, extracting wealth and even soldiers. France was the only republic, all the others were monarchies and Russia had the most absolutist monarchy. But that doesn’t really factor in, because even France wasn’t fighting to spread or preserve democracy.All were fighting to beat them arch enemies, to steal a piece of land or two or maybe a colony and to test their newly developed industrial weaponry. They were all
stompingchomping at the bit before it started.The German Empire was surely the most militaristic society. But they still fought all for the same ideology and reason.
To my last point, you can see that in the result: the losers had to gave up colonies but not to independence but to the victors as spoils.
Congratulations you have one

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What misconception are you tired of being spread?
44·6 days agoThat WW1 was the same moral black and white as WW2.
In my opinion, every country in WW1 was the villain just that one side was impatient enough to be the aggressor first.

9·6 days agoThere are vegetables where you eat the root.
There are vegetables where you eat the leaves.
There are vegetables where you eat the stem.
But for cucumbers, pumpkins, aubergine and paprika you eat the fruit, why should the tomato be different?
Looks like sesame, black sesame, linseed and sunflower seed

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Happy May the 4th, and remember to check regularly the optical lens of your Vader helm.
3·6 days agoIt conveys a little more meaning. The translation is cut short in the vibes department.
I can’t explain it briefly, but “wohl eine riesengroße Verwechslung” hits different than “huge mistake”
Ok I’ll try.
“Ist wohl” is translated to “is”, but I would translate “must’ve been”.
“Verwechslung” I would translate as “mix up”.“This must’ve been a gargantuan mix-up” hits different than “this is a huge mistake”. It has become more plain through translation.
Freudian slip?
First it will help more people, then it hurts.
As far as I know, in none of the continent models (be it 5, 6 or 7 continents) is central America its own continent. It’s a region of North America. And Latin America is a cultural-linguistic category.
But feel free to look up “North America” on Wikipedia.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Japan Is Building Cardboard Suicide Drones
5·11 days agoI guess the method of propellment (not a word).
On other news, I hate how officials always try to avoid the word “drone”. Loitering munitions, unmanned aerial vehicle. Like just say drone, there’s no confusion.
It feels very zombie movie.
I’ve seen an Irish youtuber that works in a bakery and talks a lot about cakes as well. I suspect it might be an Anglosphere thing.
In German and French, there’s Bäckerei and boulangerie for bread related stuff and some sweet wares like croissant or fruit tarts. But full on cakes you would get in a Konditorei or pâtisserie.
