US States[254]

In Germany, our 9th grade English class focused on American English. We did a test where we had to fill in all the states. But at least not hand draw.

Did you lose your wheat fields in North Africa? Did you face them in a pitched naval battle, one of your all-time strengths? Aww, did the wind turn and did they sail straw filled boats towards you, setting them on fire before they crashed into your fleet?

Aww, poor little child emperor

Yeah everyone had their archaic human-derived measures but every city on the Rhine had a different system.

If you were a cologne cabbage trader and had 100 cologne pounds of cabbage, the would be 104 pounds in Düsseldorf, 98 pounds in Mainz, 91 in Karlsruhe and 102 in Frankfurt.

Wonderful human derived measurements.

I get the impression some people think the whole world was English imperial units and then we started to turn metric on a whim.

Metric is wonderful for international and interregional trade and communication. There's practically only one blank spot on that map.

Then they used ai. The telltale signs: different arrowheads, arrows without text, arrows pointing back, the cheek cut-off wanders into the tongue.
Haven't checked the words' spelling, but that would be a telltale sign, too. Edit: yep, sblingual

Christians of Lemmy, how do you feel about the U.S. president posting an Al photo of him as Christ?

Textbook blasphemy.

That he's anti Christ was clear from the "grab em by the pussy" talk. Also his marriage, infidelity record would've disqualified him for any clear eyed christian.

But sadly (depressingly) I know people who call themselves christian but are utterly blinded by anti abortion rhetoric, that they forget that living immigrant children are also lives worth saving. They cannot see Mexican or Guatemalan kids as creations of God. Or in my European case Syrian or African.
