I believe this comes from people trying to show off their education. Traditionally, words with a french descent were pronounced with a silent H. So for example hospital (from French hôpital) is an hospital, where hound (from Germanic hund) is a hound.
This is pretty much deprecated these days and anyone enforcing it is beyond grammar nazi, but it’s interesting to know the pattern.

This is a top notch post and thread, and has reminded me why I continue to use the internet. Good job everyone.
Hanlon’s razor dictates that we should not attribute to malice that which can be attributed to incompetence.
So, by posting this response, you are very, very stupid. You are incompetent of understanding the fundamental difference between the VIDEO of Elon saluting Adolf Hitler, and the IMAGES of all these people waving.
If you respond to this, you’re showing that you have enough intelligence to understand the difference between Elon’s gesture and a wave, so you’re therefore defending his sieg heil and you remove all doubt that you are a Nazi, and therefore unwelcome here, or anywhere.
I guess you have a third choice of claiming it was a joke or a shit post or whatever.
If you’ve never done this with parmesan…you really, truly should. 😙🤌
There was no insult intended. Before your edit and response, your argument sounded like flat-earth-style nonsense. I’ll go and read your explanation.

You sound like a flat-earther with this argument. “How could the behaviour of the sky possibly tell us anything about the shape of the ground?”. Well, it does. And just because you don’t understand it doesn’t make it wrong.
These aren’t my opinions, these are facts.
If you can’t come up with some actual logic as to why we should ignore the tolerance paradox, then it will continue to stand as a cognitive guideline.
Anyway why would you want to give the intolerant free rein? You should be glad you don’t have to tolerate them.
Well there is no way to settle that bet, otherwise I would absolutely take it.
What? You think every single teenager universally disobeys their parents? I know for a fact this isn’t true. There exist responsible teenagers. Brides, even if a teenager is disobedient, the placement of boundaries changes their behaviour.
Peer pressure is real. Kids get social media accounts way too early because it’s difficult to justify holding off when all of their classmates have them. It causes actual social issues for kids when they are the only one without something. They get bullied etc, so parents are effectively forced to accede. Making it illegal gives parents a reason to say no, which might slow down the uptake.
Any civilization advanced enough to dig deep enough will quickly understand that the material is dangerous.
Well look, there’s only really one civilisation we can look at to see if this is true, and that’s our current civilisation. It turns out, though, that this civilisation learned to dig through clay and boulders to any depth a few centuries before it understood what radioactive nuclei do to the human body. It’s fair to say a new civilisation would probably learn quickly why all of the people mining near the glowing rocks were dying in pain, but progress in that area would probably be measurable in agonising deaths, which is presumably what people are happy to spend money on these signs to avoid.

The misgendering, and the fact that it was accidental, is the point of the post. If anything OP is sharing her correct gender with “even more people”, and creating a discussion where we can think about how to stop this happening in future both to this individual, and on Lemmy in general. Why would you want to shut that down?
Who knows if this is an improvement.
The Max Planck Institute for Physics knows and spoiler, yes. Yes it is.
Your comment doesn’t stand up. It seems you’ve got something against fusion energy for some reason.
On cost: it’s a best guess, since we don’t yet have a working fusion reactor. The error bars on the cost estimates are huge, so while it is possible fusion will be more expensive, with current data you absolutely cannot guarantee it. Add to that the decreasing costs as the technology matures, like we’ve seen in wind and especially solar over recent decades.
On nuclear physics PhDs: that’s no different to any energy generation, you need dozens of experts to build and run any installation.
On waste: where are you getting this info on the blanket? The old beryllium blanket design has been replaced with tungsten and no longer needs to be replaced. The next step is to test a lithium blanket which will actually generate nuclear fuel as the reaction processes.
This is the important fact that you have omitted, for some reason.
Nuclear fusion reactors produce no high activity, long-lived nuclear waste. The activation of components in a fusion reactor is low enough for the materials to be recycled or reused within 100 years
And that is why it’s so important this technology is developed. It’s incredibly clean and, yes, limitless.
As for your advice, there was a time not long ago when we didn’t understand how to build fission plants either, and it cost a lot of time and money to learn how. I wonder if people back then were saying we should just stick to burning coal because we know how that works.
most pussy games can be recreated as home versions without buying the experience.
Tell that to my local sex worker, amirite.
(I’m guessing typo?)
I googled your comment and found the game Monikers which I’d never heard of. I honestly think the DIY version must be better, since there’s always someone who’s responsible for the name. That makes it so much better as a bonding experience! It’s also good across cultures because the people from culture a will know the answers from culture a and the same for culture b, c etc. and it then becomes a natural exchange
This comment is useless. Why don’t you start a discussion by giving some reason why you think none of the examples given are neurodivergent?
