In Hungary the name of kings, queens, popes are translated, everyone else stays the same. Non latin script names have a special latinization rules what is very different from English, so it’s hard to search for people if you know only their Hungarian name.

In the 19th century and early 20th century they also translated the names of authors and poets, that’s whx here everyone calls Jules Verne as Verne Gyula.

It’s in the canadian occupation zone

Also Romanians nearly elected their Russian puppet, it was a very close call, But I guess that’s the joke, they are just slightly better, but looking down from a pony.

She was here for university exchange or something like that. Not a lot of people choose this country as a final destination, as you can find much better places in the EU

I spoke with an American expat girl some months ago, and she said I have the most Eastern-European accent she ever heard. I replied “Tanks”

Jól elaludtál majd’ két napot, így azért annyira nem volt nehéz baszomalássan.

Alto Adige and Venezia Giulia were part of Austria-Hungary, Veneto and Lombardy were only part of the predecessor Austrian Empire, so Italy is also one of the successor states.

Fun fact: Servus was the most common greetings in Austria-Hungary, and it is still used in most of the successor states. In some countries it’s considered archaic, but in Hungary it’s still one of the most common informal greetings, sometimes pronounced with a “B” instead of “V” e.g. “serbus”.

It’s originally from latin, from the phrase servus humillimus, domine spectabilis meaning your most humble servant, my noble lord

Hát egy biztosan.

Ugyanitt bojler eladó.

Ich verstehe nicht.

From the article:

According to the reports, soldiers failed to unload part of the train carrying over 1,000 tons of explosives in total, and the anti-tank mines continued to circulate around the country before they went missing.

Maybe Ikea needed the space to transport something, so they unloaded everything forgotten on the train.

Militaries surprisingly frequently loose weapons around the world:

Or they just wanted to support SCP-3008, but accidentally sent to a normal ikea ;)

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

He was drunk only once?

• This is his edit on the wiki page of Missouri from the day of this tweet: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Missouri&oldid=693016799
• He replaced an svg with png, so he didn’t even know how to properly fake a map
• His username was Robwhisman, he had only one edit on wikipedia, when he replaced the map. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Robwhisman
• I suspect he was not found via this tweet, but his account was a fresh registration with only a single edit, most suspicious. Amateur vandal. Professionals lurk with small changes for years, than slowly ramp up to bigger levels, like the teenager who faked an entire language on wikipedia for years, and noone noticed his edits are just gibberish: https://www.theregister.com/2020/08/26/scots_wikipedia_fake/ He was caught after 10000 articles, not after a single edit.

I think he tried to create some faraday cage?
