At what point would you consider it to be sufficiently brain so that its activity is brainwave activity?
I'm surprised to hear German has a word for this, considering that stats I've previously seen show Germany as having the highest proportion of male sitting pee-ers.
We're part of America too!
If only learning about bugs made them less gross to accidentally squish under your feet.
So the characters are still words, right?
Most likely yes. All characters in Chinese are defined jointly by the way it's written, the pronunciation, and meaning. You can't invent new characters like you would a new English word and have something that can be read out loud because there's no system for deriving pronunciation from the written character itself.
I say most likely because there are still some characters that are phonetic in that their meaning is just the sound, but these don't cover the whole spectrum of possible sounds in the language as far as I know. They also wouldn't look as nice in tattoo form since they all use the same radical.
The game trying to force that plot twist felt very jarring and pulled me out of the immersion right from the start. My guy, you have no idea how long you've been in there. Why are you asking around for a child?
Same here. That's why I try to stock up on more than I think I'll need when things go on sale.
I searched through Lemmy posts with that word. Half of them have people asking the exact same question, and based on the answers, I'm going to conclude that no one knows.
One guess that seems plausible is that it's an AI hallucinated word that's showing up a lot because they're using AI to generate the captions.
If you're not familiar with European grocery stores, you'll have no idea what Carrefour is. "Supermarket Giant" makes sense to everyone.
Is the OP not obvious sarcasm? In what world is packing boxes skilled labour when flipping burgers isn't?
There's been two cases of this happening very recently that's been making the rounds on Lemmy. Two dudes on death row, new evidence comes up that puts their guilty judgement into question and their execution proceeds anyway.
