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?

If you browse https://feddit.org/?dataType=Post&listingType=Local&sort=New, most posts are still in German.

The local feed looks very English to me …

If German lemmy is any indication, usually there isn’t more than one lemmy-instance per language (English being the obvious exception).

“above 24°C” seems a strangely arbitrary measure for “too hot”. It’s definitely hotter than I like, but I’m keenly aware that most people would call 24°C with sunshine a perfect summer day.

Strange.

You linked a feddit.uk thread instead of a lemmy.ml thread.

But also, Greenland has a ton of social issues. They’re been transitioning from hunter-gatherer (well, mostly hunter) to “modern life” way faster than people in europe or the US did, while still living on a giant block of ice.
