  • I was saying the same thing just the other day, although in my case it was for something that was ”2 days ago" - totally unhelpful if you need to know the time it was posted! Just put an absolute date and time (and a timezone stamp if necessary).

  • Why Do Some People Call Football “Soccer”?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I agree - there's no need for people to be like that 👍

  • Why Do Some People Call Football “Soccer”?

    Jump

  • It'll always be football to me, but I'm not bothered by people saying soccer when they have something else they call football (which I'd call American football).

    Online, if I'm in a place where there's likely to be ambiguity, I've taken to referring to football ⚽ and football 🏈 and that seems to do the trick.

  • NFL Europe had their own version of the Super Bowl called the World Bowl. World Bowl '91 at Wembley Stadium had only 2,000 less spectators than the next Super Bowl(XXVI). Teams that won the World Bow…

    Jump

  • I was at World Bowl 1996 to see the Scottish Claymores beat Frankfurt Galaxy. 38,000 people turned up at Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh, which (according to Wikipedia) is the largest ever crowd for a game of football 🏈 in Scotland. Great day, and I wish the Claymores were still going.

  • Dunno where else to post a gripe

  • Funnily enough, I would refer to a department as "it" rather than "they" 😁

  • If it's called open source, then what is the significance of licence ?

    Jump

  • Aw man, I remember my kid having the Biff Chip and Kipper books, but we never got to the end of them as far as I know. That magic key bit was a real twist in what had thusfar been a pretty reality-grounded series. I need to go look up how that story progressed.

  • What's the earliest number of this you remember seeing in real life?

    Jump

  • Now 4 - still got the vinyl I think 😁

  • I'm curious: Are all the songs in your favorite music album masterpieces? or how do you determine an album is one of your favorites?

    Jump

  • Yeah, love Experience too, except for I think it maybe lacks the best mixes IMO of Charly (Alley Cat) and Everybody in the Place (Fairground). Can't remember 100% off the top of my head, but I think it's those two.

    Jump

  • Always good to see someone pick ...Jilted Generation over Fat of the Land. I do like the latter, but MFTJG is perfection.

  • What album cover goes the hardest?

    Jump

  • Great thread idea - you might also enjoy !albumartporn@lemmy.world, which has some pretty out-there covers.

    I'll nominate Abraxas by Santana which has a lot to take in!

  • Doesn't add up right for me.

    Jump

  • Ah ok, didn't know that. And yeah, the numbers just don't make sense at all! 😁

  • No, VAT is 20% (except maybe on a few very specific products)

  • What's your favorite childhood cartoon that everyone else seems to have forgotten about?

    Jump

  • I loved Ulysses 31, although I never really knew what was going on. It just looked amazing.

  • "Stop hiring humans" ad over may day rally

    Jump

  • Can't speak for this specific instance of course, but in the UK you occasionally get people flying messages over football ⚽ grounds or whatever, and I have read more than once that the company doing the flying don't actually know what message they are pulling - they just get the packaged up message and fly it where the customer asks them to.

    Don't know if that's true, though and it's arguable whether that absolves them completely of responsibility for the message being shown.

    EDIT - that being said, the first example I found contradicts me - here, the message was known by everyone, including the pilot!

    EDIT 2 - a particularly nasty example here, where someone mentions banners not being checked. They definitely should have been.

    "Due to the nature of the activity, banners are not checked before take-off and the content is at the operator's discretion."

  • I saw something in the sky what was it?

  • And then if someone finds it, it'll be a UFO... oh wait...

  • Do you know any songs about trains?

    Jump

  • Uh-huh. Uh-huh-uh-huh.

  • Driver 8 by R.E.M. is a great one. Will try to think of more 👍
