Didn’t work for me anyway, though that might just be the dozens of addons in my Firefox browser.

TBF the video is in Polish and doesn’t even have English subtitles. Still a dick move to not link the original, though.

These aren’t “Donuts” btw. “Pączki” are more similar to German Berliner/Krapfen, since they don’t have a hole and are filled with jam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pączki

This is the description of the video, translated with deepl (sorry, I don’t speak a word of Polish):

The calculation was simple. One doughnut from Lidl costs 9 groszy and has 440 kcal. 133 doughnuts from Lidl weigh 10 kg and have a calorific value of… 18.5 MJ/kg, which is… exactly the same as wood briquettes. However, my doughnuts cost PLN 12, and the briquettes cost PLN 19. What did this data show? Check it out!

Thanks for linking! I don’t speak a lick of Polish, but it was interesting nontheless. I would have thought these kinds of sweets would contain too much water to burn well, especially if you stack them up like that. Wish he’d shown the residue after it’s burned out. Do they burn cleanly, is his oven caked with caramel now? Did some of the “donuts” turn into round, charred bricks?

Early Dutch was actually a Middle German dialect that had some elements of Low German, there was basically no difference between the dialect that was/is spoken in the German town of Kleve and the Dutch across the border, and the Kleve dialect was/is just another in a gradient of similar dialects in the area. And yes, High German is distinct from Low German, but Low German is not less German than High German; if anything, today’s Standard German is mostly based on Middle German dialects such as Obersächsisch (Upper Saxon, unrelated to the (proto-)Low German-speaking Saxons), with some pronounciation elements from both Low German and High German.

Calling Standard German “Hochdeutsch”, though common in colloquial German, is a misnomer and doesn’t really correspond to the linguistic categories of Low, Middle and High German.

When is EU5 set? It’s not really wrong in like the 13th century (to the extent that “German” exists at all, rather than being a collection of related languages with wildly varying mutual intelligibility).

The main dev is also an admin on lemmy.ml. There would probably be more instances that defederate lemmy.ml if it weren’t for that, and the way that account-level blocking is implemented isn’t really that great.

Servers cost money to run, many lemmy servers have set up a way to donate for server costs.

You can try to post about lemmy on other platforms, but be aware that that carries a risk of getting banned.

Normally I’d also recommend supporting the devs, but fuck tankies. I plan to switch to Piefed because of that, since it’s obviously hypocritical to keep using a standard Lemmy server when you dislike the devs so much.

Many (maybe most) non-anglophones are already doing that …

… depending on your definition of “local”. Where are the big anglophone servers located, anyway?

The PC was invented by Americans and most of its important technologies are owned by American companies. Shockingly bad idea to let ourselves get so dependent on a single country, especially considering that Taiwan, which is by far the most important chip manufacturer, is threatened by another authoritarian regime. Maybe you could build something equivalent to an x86-PC with ARM, but not without those hyper-sophisticated chip factories (though TBF, the USA would also be fucked if China conquered Taiwan and blocked those chips from getting into the US).

There are plenty of places with nice beaches on the Med.

Yes, but Italy is a lot closer to Germany or Switzerland than the Croatian or French mediterranean coast, nevermind Spain or Greece. Distance matters, lots of people still drive to their holiday destinations.

I honestly thought that most tourists go to Italy for the beaches. Not sure if this graphic takes into account how long visitors stay, I’d expect beach holiday tourists to stay longer than city tourists on average.

Cannabis use prevalence is actually kind of low in the Netherlands, many european countries where it’s illegal have higher prevalences. Turns out, legalizing cannabis doesn’t turn everyone into a stoner.

You’d think Netherlands of all places would have data. Did the authorities just give up or what?

It’s whatever you want it to be, baby.

Surprisingly, Norwegians are less obese than Italians. Numbers for overweight or even average BMI are harder to find, though (I found some numbers for all EU countries, but that excludes Norway) - it’s entirely possible that more Norwegians than Italians are overweight while the overweight Italians are more likely to go ‘all in’ so to speak.

Makes sense though, cheese bread isn’t unhealthy per se, it’s all about portion size and how much of your pizza is cheese. Also, the difference between the numbers for Norway and the USA is so small that it’s pretty much a wash considering that Norwegians are quite a bit taller.

How did they get a chariot into a forest?

Straight to racism, huh?

As opposed to France and UK who also don’t recognize Palestine and in the case of the UK have at least as much responsibility for the conflict?

But hey, fuck me for learning something new, right?

I’m surprised that there’s so many countries who recognize Palestine. Is this a recent development?
