You are on an ml instance, so you are definitely a tankie. Lemmy.ml is a gateway to lemmygrad, the same way as marihuana is a gateway to heroin.

it’s not my job to educate you

wow pretty problematic

Actually I never even heard of any of those artists and never used spotify or any other streaming services. I only buy or torrent flac. Oh and soulseek is still up since 2001

My cope is usually “it should be the tankies who downvoted”. Works every time, now I know I’m 100% right, and I can sleep well.

Skill issue

And every other language? In my native language we don’t have the same strict word order, so sometimes accidentally I speak like Yoda, and everyone can understand what I wanted to say

I also like the term “international English”.

Yes, but most of us aren’t a native english speakers, and we make mistakes. We shoudln’t even call this language english, it’s internet creol.

Dont be afride to ask questions. Remember, there are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

I guess you have an internet capable device in your vincinity. If you are afraid your fellow americans would make fun of your crippledness,you can use an internet search engine on that device without notifying your peers!

for other poor non-americans like me, who heard the term aafes first time in their shitty non-freedomy life:

The Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES, also referred to as The Exchange and post exchange/PX or base exchange/BX) provides goods and services at U.S. Army, Air Force, and Space Force installations worldwide, operating department stores, convenience stores, restaurants, military clothing stores, theaters and more nationwide and in more than 30 countries and four U.S. territories.

As a native hungarian, I wouldn’t mind that. Árvíztűró tükörfúrógép.

I remember I watched one of the sw prequels with hardcoded Korean subs. My classmate burnt it to a dvd for me, and it was special because our early sony dvd player couldn’t play any non original disks but somehow he could work it around.

indeed. how would the world work without this knowledge,

This is orientable:

And actually on the Northern hemisphere we are farther from the sun during summer than winter.

But I have to google when the sun comes up for you, it’s literally the same thing.

What would be easier with our conversation? I guess we are at the other side of the globe. I wasn’t answering because I was sleeping, you won’t answer immediately because you are sleeping, what would help if our clocked showed the same? Both of us sleep because the sun is down, not because the clock says something.

With long range space travel we will have to deal with the relativity of time as well. Lets say we define an Epoch and both of us do something exactly a googol second later but we live on a different planet, it wouldn’t be at the same time because of relativity. If I would say lets do something when it is 12:00 in London, UK, Earth, than you can convert it to your relativity and time zone.

About the intetplanetary usage of the current system, it’s already in effect, LTC aka Coordinated Lunar Time is already under development since this April.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/the-moon-will-get-its-own-time-zone-called-coordinated-lunar-time-under-nasas-lead-180984076/

On the moon, a smaller body where the gravitational pull is much weaker, time moves more quickly and unevenly: Lunar time gains about 58.7 microseconds per day compared to Earth’s time, though even this can vary, depending on the altitude and longitude where lunar clocks may be located.

“An atomic clock on the moon will tick at a different rate than a clock on Earth,” Kevin Coggins, manager of NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation Program, tells the Guardian’s Diana Ramirez-Simon. “It makes sense that when you go to another body, like the moon or Mars, that each one gets its own heartbeat.”

So the solution is to just convert between time zones, and resync them sometime because they can drift because of relativity.

I don’t know how a base 10 day would work, it just annoys me that its reform wasn’t successful with the metric system. But I don’t know how it will work when people will live on Mars. A day on Mars aka a Sol is 24 hours and 39 mins. Will they have “Mars hour” which equals 1 Earth hour and 1.6 Earth minutes? If not, they could simply use Earth hours, than it won’t be possible to create classic circular clocks.

Shit programmers say…

The problems of time zones only affect a handful of people, the wast majority of people nearly never think about this.

Epoch or standard time would just rename time zones, beucause currently you say hour offset from London, with “no timezone” you would have to say something like, noon is at 05:00 utc/epoch at that city, so nothing really changed

Industries where it actually matters already use UTC for everything, e.g. international flights.

It would make more sense to switch to base 10 minutes and hours than to “solve” the time zones

By the holocaust Germany lost all their colonies, after WW1, so again, I don’t how this is related here. Jews were living within Germany for centuries. And the point was it doesn’t matter in relation to other attrocities.

Russia was also a colonial power, and one of the last which is still one, ask a Yakut guy or someone from the northern Caucasus. So it should be also added there?

1614 is the older term in English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque

And you are using it again. Because the term was coined by English oppressors, than it shouldn’t true… Always the same answer to everything, my beloved dictator/political system/whatever is not really terrible, because I can point to something even worse

Let’s see, “colonials are not as terrible, because what the Nazis did, and Jews were white people” Same as your reasoning.

While your points are true, here is an interesting and recommended reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

If it wouldn’t have the satire tag, I would still believe it was a legit post on r/maps. Oh the quality was so low there.

The 4 map subreddits I followed at some point:

• r/maps: maps from your elementary school atlas
• r/mapporn: misinformation, outdated maps, source: I made it up
• r/historicalmaps: “please date this map” and the same map as yesterday by a different user
• r/mapporncirclejerk: the spiritual ancestor of this community. At the end I only followed this one, the others became too annoying.
