As a student of life I have to mention Anki. At its core it’s a flashcard app out of the box but it’s almost infinitely more powerful than that if you dig deep.

I paid 35 CAD for it in 2019 and I’ve used it every single day since. The amount of knowledge I’ve committed to memory is truly priceless, and I’ve even gifted this app to several friends.

NB: AnkiMobile, not the free knockoff AnkiApp. It’s open-source and actually free for computers and android devices, and iOS/iPadOS app purchases are the only way the developer makes money.

Adam Something uploaded a video starting with the definition of intelligence itself, and then explains how something that “acts” intelligent doesn’t mean it “is” intelligent.

Given how rare it is to see people smiling in old photos it’s almost jarring/anachronistic to see such a display of emotion.

For Canadian French content check out Mauril, it’s a platform by Radio-Canada that has compiled clips of their own content suitable for whatever level you’re at, and asks questions to gauge your comprehension.

Speaking of Radio-Canada you could tune into their radio channel ICI Première, which is available in all areas in Canada. In Toronto it’s 860 AM/90.3 FM.

Another resource I like to recommend for language learning in general is Mango Languages, it’s leagues ahead of Duolingo and has a Canadian French course, though it’s not as extensive as the Metropolitan French one. Plus they are partnered with most (at least North American) public libraries so if you have a library card you can register with that for free forever, normally it’s like $20/month or something.

Is your name Matt? My friend in uni whipped out a pepper one day and bit into it like an apple, and just as the OP title describes I was like wtf

But then I thought about it and I was like why should that be so weird?

Under Settings > Appearance, there’s an option to set the UI style to Android, which is currently in beta but it’s a start

I actually find it more enjoyable to have breakfast after my mouth is refreshed. I wouldn’t enjoy eating with the taste of old mouth juice all over my tongue

Like most other users here I’ve also taken a look around on Mastodon. But I’m still new to the fediverse and getting used to the decentralized nature of all this.

This is also my first comment on Lemmy, hopefully of many more!

Buhos is a ska rock band from Catalonia that makes music in Catalan and Spanish. They’ve got some tour dates in the Netherlands in November.

I like to freeze it horizontally so I get a column of ice, and all of the water I put in the next day is in contact with it.

Here is a PhET simulation by the University of Colorado Boulder. I remember playing with this one as a kid!

I mean everyone is different and it depends on your interests. But with Mastodon you can search for and follow hashtags like accounts, then explore users who post with those hashtags.

They’re made out of meat.

Gotta be KD

With the exception of orange juice, any food I eat replaces the minty flavour with its own. I guess I just need that reset to “minty fresh” before eating (I’ve been conditioned by Big Toothpaste to associate minty with clean)

I’ve been ranting about this for years. Microsoft word used to be like would you like to save this document? OK or Cancel. And now it’s like Wanna save? Sure or nah

FOH with that Microsoft, you’re not my friend

What was the rule you added? I turn ambient mode and in-line playback off but Google is constantly resetting those switches.

I unfortunately discovered Anki after graduating from uni (how I wish I had known about it back then). As a student of life I’m studying/maintaining the languages I speak, as well as general knowledge including geography and light history, plus anything new I’ve learnt and wish to remember.

Would you mind sharing a link to that thread?

PLEASE STAND CLEAR OF THE DOORS.
