If I may ask, what made you interested to learn latin?

In the US, it's finally socially acceptable again to clap when the plane lands in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

ALL planes land. The question is, whether or not there is someone left to clap afterwards.

Adding Canada to the US would drastically increase the number of awesome people in the US. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

It's really not that the Canadian government is necessarily any good or even better than the one in the USA. But in case of an invasion there would be a war going on and violent deaths would be expected. Although the part with penises in mouths would most likely constitute a warcrime.

Assuming provinces became states Canada merging with the US would result in a Democrat majority. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Thats assuming that the current states are able to keep their voting rights.

While the situation in the US is indeed very dire, I would say that places like Hungary did fall first. I am also afraid that the US wount be the last to fall. Many countries in Europe are shaky at the moment.

Beautiful place. I know next to nothing about Hong Kong, but I'm glad to see that it is greener than in my imagination.

How do you keep up with news from other countries? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] Sorolainen@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

Check BBC. They have pretty cood coverage of global news. Other might be Deutsche Welle, which despite the name is in English.

The best option would be to follow the news in Italian if at all possible. I actively follow the news in four languages and it really helps to show how differently they report on the same events. If you ever wonder why, for example, Sweden, Germany and USA have so different opinions on Palestine vs. Israel, just checking how their respective medias report about it in their own languages makes it clearer.

If scientists could make you immortal but could only do it by transferring your consciousness into a single video game for ever, which game would you choose? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

While I might make similar choices, it still sound like a horror story. My immortal soul stuck eternally among the empty make-believe-people of GTA or the solitary existence of Minecraft?

I might still prefer the peace of non-existance.

What would you do if there was a zombie apocalypse coming and you had 2 days to prepare? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Do you have the means to reach this place? Lets say that you get the warning tomorrow, are you able to reach the island?

Well... My health conditions mean that I am unlikely to survive long term after apocalypse. Even if no zombies get me. The first week would be fine, the first month maybe, but I wouldnt be alive to see the second year. I could try to do a camping trip to see if the "apocalypse" passes over quickly. If not, then there is no point trying to plan for long term survival.
