A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You. You get me.

I brought you huile d'olive, which sounds a bit similar.

[–] DriewielerPlusPlus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Funny, in Dutch crying = huilen, so I always thought of it as the olives tears..

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Als mede Nederlander, ik weet het, maar toch was ik verrast door de olijventranen als metafoor..

I got you some booze. Usually helps me when the going gets tough.

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

You just reminded me to add the liquor store to my errand list, thank you.

Nah my coworkers were also in it with me none of us sat down for like 12h except when I ate too many cupcakes between admissions and had to bolt for the off-unit toilet before I shit myself and some of it was funny at least in that darkly absurd way that the slow decay of the American healthcare system is. I couldn't have picked better people to spend a shitty night with there are like 1-2 people who would have made it an even swap and some of the techs could have been better but none of the actual mid coworkers were there so.
