  • Token German chiming in

    You got most of it quite right, except the ending. It’s -erle, or really just -le (depending on where you split the word). The suffix is used to change a word to sound smaller, cute, playful and generally less serious. It also has a southern accent/sound to me, but take that with a pinch of salt. Not sure if there is an english comparison. Its similar to another german suffix: -chen

    After a year of unemployment one may have their eyes opened to how truly awful the modern working conditions and hours are. They may even pick up a hobby, make non work friends and God forbid enjoy life outside of prepackaged holiday trips. In short, unemployment can be a mirror to unfair and insane employment conditions.






  • Well, the last time I checked in they were still relying on fetal bovine serum and cancer cell growth to make lab meat production work (look it up yourself tho). I mean on paper it seems like good option if animal suffering is your concern, but (long term) health impacts of cancer meat are still a mild concern ig. And also it’s exorbitantly expensive (citation needed) if you can even buy it and still requires loads of resources to produce. I’d much prefer a cheap alternative, not imitation, for cheap meat. It may be hard to replace a grilled stake (in flavor, texture and most of all people’s preference) but looking at cheap pink slices of processed goo I half way expect them to already be vegan, but like in a really bad way. I feel like meat alternatives should start where it’s easy and tackle ‘authentic’ meat a later time. In the meantime I’m way more concerned with ending special meat subsidies in favor of supporting resource efficient vegan alternatives. Make vegan food cheap and people will follow, no need for perfection. For the record I’m not (quite) a vegan and price and convince are like the only things holding me back so far.



  • A cursory glance at your comment history suggests you’re perhaps in the wrong community. Not to gatekeep, come here with curiosity, humor and in good faith and you shall be received likewise! Otherwise tho, your attitude might just end up spreading negativity in others and yourself. If that’s not something you want, then start by avoiding hurtful slurs. If you wanna use this opportunity to learn something new and to avoid seeming rude by misunderstanding then you’re welcome to ask, answer, anything!






  • Interestingly, this list seems to be a close match with trending YouTube content. Perhaps there’s a discussion here about how social media and purpose engineered trends shape our hobbies (and even live purpose ig). Or maybe these topics just get lots of views naturally on account of them being good hobbies. Also, obviously no offense to op and their interests.
