I might be missing some context here.

Do you not have a kinoplex?

I absolutely read this in Elijah Wood's voice telling about any normal day he has and that's what I'm sticking with.

It's German for "cinema". No idea, if that's the context, though.

[-] Dettweiler42@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure it's the right context, because it fits. Odd story, but it fits

“Kino”, from the Greek “kine”(to move), is Internet slang for a motion picture. In particular, it is used to denote works with special artistic merit. The word is also used to describe events and art bearing a cinematic quality either in concept or execution.

Internet slang is a lot like German.

And popular with the Nazis.

Is that what 4channers mean when they call anything else kino? I shouldn't have asked this in a thread about a fake movie theater

[-] alt@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it basically means “thing that is novel/bold/stylish enough to not look out of place in an art film”.

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

On 4chan it's slang for "awesome"

[-] Primarily0617@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

eating -> dining

cinema -> kino

What a whimsical tale

[-] DarkDiamondK@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I read all of this, but I feel like I didn't. What did you do to me?
