TIL How to Train Your Dragon is originally a book. Thank you.

Also nitter works no longer.

When I ask them a simple question and they answer with at least ten-sentences-long answer.
Jes, I do it too.

Once I met a Slovak guy with clearly polish surname, so I asked him wether he had polish ancestors. He genuinely didn't get why would I think something like that...

Me: I have to spend less time on social media.
Also me: Federation is right thing. Do not leave!

That eggs are made in factories. I still haven't made peace with this, and lurk around egg equivalents (I'm not vegan).

Also when I was in kindergarden, I had terrible idea about how the map of our village looks like.

I wanted to join Reddit this week, and found it was going into "interesting times". So I joined Lemmy instead.

The calendar on Earth must be boring. Only one moon!

Is it enforced? And... why?

Australia and Oceania

Problem is that finding the language from the rolling menu is quite annoying, and as you usually write in language you axpect members of the community would understand, it's easier to left it 'undefined'.

Also when the leap years were introduced, the priests (who were to take care of the calendar) didn't understand what dis "every four years" mean, and used to put a leap year every three years.

In czech, we have a phrase "jak sa kráje chleba" (same way as a bread is sliced). Problem is, that (at least in my social group) nobody knows, wether it means clockwise or anticlockwise, as everybody slices the bread differently.

I allways promote Stanisław Lem, mainly Solaris.
Quick explanation: small group of scientists trying to study a possibly-intelligent ocean (called Solaris).
Why I like it: the worldbuilding is done by providing basic facts about Solaris, plus a lot of Solaristic theories, which creates space for your imagination and new theories. The interactions between humans are realistic and have meaningful dynamics. Every character has their unique perspective and I find it worthy of re-reading from that perspective. And it's also quite short.

I've also read some other Lem's books, but while they aren't bad, I don't find them as excellent as Solaris, maybe with exception of Fables for Robots, The Cyberiad and Memairs found in a Bathtub.

Also it inflates the meaning of the question. It took me quite a lot of time to realize that my friends ask me how I am and really want to know it.

(I'm not autistic fyi.)

Besides the current version, I like proposals no. 2, 20 and 34 (but the last one is too similar to the Estonian flag).

I got back into reading (after ~ half year pause).
