The most credible source I find credits it to an article by German satirist and journalist, Kurt tucholsky who was supposedly quoting a French diplomat in 1925

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something you can see, hear, smell, etc., that others can't?
2·7 days agoI can definitely taste the difference between aspartame and sugar but its not unpleasant to me.
Remember that there’s big polluters of the world want you to believe its all already over and that you can’t win. This is a strategy they explicitly employ, and you are not immune to their propaganda.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I'm new to lemmy, came from reddit. What's the lemmy etiquette like? How different is it from reddiqutte?
2·11 days agoBut without bots how will I know when I accidentally post a haiku and what political ideology is right!
I think some of that stuff would be a lot more stressful if you expected the job to be a long term thing you need to support yourself with.
It doesn’t change the amount of jizz but the original count of grandparents is making the almost certainly false assumption that the family tree is incest free.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are the silliest reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?
51·20 days agoIf Linux gets popular the mega corps will just follow them there and then you’ll be asking them to uninstall Dell os or at least remove the Linux recall (powered by bing) that it comes bundled with. Just look at the modern state of android.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a video game that you just don't get the hype about?
1·29 days agoInteresting that you say hades has that intuitive randomness, one of my biggest complaints for hades 1 is that you can basically force whatever run you want every single run. It felt like a roguelike for people who hate roguelikes. Isaac otoh I totally agree, its my most played game by far really love it.

1·29 days agoI also dislike deckbuilders, but slay the spire is the exception. It skips the tideous deck management a lot of games have and you aren’t playing against an other deck which is a big part of what I hate.

2·29 days agoI think the game’s good side doesn’t really show until you beat it. And with the context that moral choice game systems were a trend and up to this point extremely shallow (infamous series, army of two etc).
I couldn’t get into it either though to be honest, but I enjoyed reading about the lore and the games it inspired.
On the left we have Baghdad Bob the Iraqi “Minister of Information” for Saddam Hussein, who made famously inaccurate and at times comical propaganda about the Iraq war. On the right is Karoline Leavitt the US “press secretary” for Donald Trump, who famously makes inaccurate and at times comical propaganda about the fall of the United States.
I find it really inconvenient compared to just adding a movie to radarr.
For me I stopped watching sports because it was impossible to stream it for a fair price. They won the piracy fight against me personally so now I just don’t watch at all.
The gambling is really concerning for me, if I have kids I want them to play sports for the exercise, but I think the downsides of all the gambling almost out weigh that at this point. It’s crazy that sports aren’t family friendly anymore.
When I was in highschool 5% of math tests was in the presentation of the math, lining up your equal signs, not using × or ÷, putting units where appropriate and stuff like that.
I do it lying in bed

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some common things people buy that you would never buy?
41·1 month agoBut why? Why is having static-y clothes a problem.

Can you imagine how great it would be if every class of item had to come in the same container. It would make reuse of those packages viable which would be way better than recycling ever could.


In Toronto there is a Rogers Center, and then they recently opened a Rogers Arena half way across town, and there are also roger’s X in Vancover and Ottawa. It’s just as annoying as it sounds, made more annoying because rogers is one of the most hated companies in the country.
