The German name for "bat" is "Fledermaus", a compound word consisting of "Fleder" (a cognate of "flattern" = "to flap") and "Maus" = "mouse", so we Germans basically call a bat a flappy mouse :D

The German word for bun is "Brötchen", a diminutive of "Brot" (bread), so we literally call a bun a "tiny bread".

I too will be as happy and carefree as Kirby in the clouds someday

I can't confirm this for the people I know... why do you think it would have sold better than the original DS? People who bought the DS Lite probably didn't already own the DS, and people who already owned the DS probably didn't have a reason to buy the Lite version (apart from a new and sleeker design, I can't remember any groundbreaking innovations that would justify buying another DS onsole for many people, unlike the DSi with its new camera function).

Yeah, me too! I had to take a second look to see that it's actually a photo

Nice, just like a good old German fairytale

Hey all,

I recently learned that Lemmy allows setting the language of a post before posting it (for example, if the language of a post is set to German, only people who choose to view German posts can see it).

When using Lemmy in a browser, you can simply use a drop-down menu to define the language of the post to be created, but even as I write this very post in Boost, there is no option or toggle for me to choose the language of this post in Boost. Did I miss something or has this not been implemented in Boost yet? Thanks in advance!

hmm interessant... die Möglichkeit, Posts Sprachen zuzuordnen, scheint es bei Boost wohl nicht zu geben (ich greife hauptsächlich über das Handy auf Lemmy zu), aber ich werde mich nochmal genauer umschauen oder ansonsten halt über den Browser posten. Auf jeden Fall vielen Dank schonmal für den Hinweis, das kannte ich noch nicht!

In addition, the German language does not really differentiate between turtles and tortoises: both are called "shield toads", but if you want to be more specific, you can say "water shield toads" or "land shield toads", respectively.

I am absolutely interested!

Ich kann vermutlich noch nicht so viel beitragen, aber ich stolper immer mal wieder über kleine deutsche Lokalvereine zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit, die in einer englischsprachigen Community einfach keinen Platz haben, also wäre ich definitiv interessiert :)

That was also roughly the time when seemingly every pop song that was played in the radio had to have a drop in the middle of the track

Do you have any recommendations for me? I'd love to expand my playlist with more songs - I usually get my recommendations from Spotify or YouTube, but personal recommendations are much more valuable :)
