If you've ever interacted with someone who speaks a different language, what is the funniest misunderstanding you've had?
George Carlin talked about this, "Take a shit? You don't take a shit, you leave a shit! That's the whole idea!"

What day do you dislike?
I put forth the motion that Tuesday is the worst day. Monday is Monday, but it is a fresh start, at least. The week could still turn out ok. Wednesday is at least the half way point. Thursday is good because it is almost Friday. And Friday is Friday. But Tuesday has nothing going for it, it's Monday without being a fresh start.

What are the most mindblowing things in mathematics?
Reply in thread
Nonsense! I can blow both your minds without a single proof or mathematical symbol, observe!
There are different sizes of infinity.
Think of integers, or whole numbers; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on. How many are there? Infinite, you can always add one to your previous number.
Now take odd numbers; 1, 3, 5, 7, and so on. How many are there? Again, infinite because you just add 2 to the previous odd number and get a new odd number.
Both of these are infinite, but the set of numbers containing odd numbers is by definition smaller than the set of numbers containing all integers, because it doesn't have the even numbers.
But they are both still infinite.

Lemmy users across the world, what is your favourite local dish ?
I'm from Cleveland Ohio. Our local dishes are heavily influenced by Eastern Europe, plus Italy and Ireland. Pierogi are universally enjoyed all around north east ohio, but Cleveland is the center. And fat tuesday just went by, which for Cleveland is pączki day. Something that is always found at the baseball game that is unique to Cleveland is the Polish Boy. It's kielbasa, either deep fried or grilled, on a bun with coleslaw and french fries on top. This town also loves corned beef, if you ever come here, Slyman's is an institution and is a must visit. And something that I did not realize was local until recently is a romanburger. Essentially put a burger patty in an Italian sub. The exact recipe has variations, generally has to have mortadella and salami in addition to the burger, and a vinegarette sprinkled on instead of the usual burger sauce. We aren't afraid of calories here.

Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?
Well, after looking through, I saw that some of my favorites are not on here.
Kraut: makes well thought out video essays on politics, history, culture and everything in between. He also tells you his reading list that went into making a particular video.
Adam Something: bit of politics, bit of urban planning, bit of shitting on Elon Musk, bit of shitting on stupid ideas.
The Great War: started in 2014 doing week by week of the first world War, 100 years after it began. Now is doing a similar series on the second world War.
The Operations Room: breaks down historical military operations minute by minute, incredible level of detail.
Korean Englishman/ Jolly: Josh and Ollie a couple of British guys introduce korean food to people and on Jolly they go get into other foods and hijinks
Townsend: showing what life was like in early colonial America

I remember a story about a remote town that needed a bridge replaced. And the federal government was dragging their feet about it until the town wrote to the Soviet Union about helping them build the bridge.

As far as the physical books, barnes and noble made a collectable edition, which I have on my shelf and is a beautiful book. Also the price isn't insane, you can grab it here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/barnes-noble-leatherbound-classics-the-foundation-trilogy-isaac-asimov/1106658785

I think you're right, there is likely an Irish version of hogwarts. I base this more on the Irish having their own quidditch team than anything else.
