Met a nice lady at the grocery store (lemmy.ml)
 

Today at the grocery store a sweet older lady approached me and asked if I knew anything about computers. I said yes I do, and she produced a mouse saying that her son set up Linux mint for her and she was wondering if the mouse was compatible. It needed kernel version 2.6 or newer so I said that the mouse should work, guessing mint itself was probably newer than that kernel. Happy with my answer, we chatted a little, then she thanked me and left.

It was a nice experience, so I thought I should share!

What is your favorite insult in your native language that doesn't exist or cant be directly translated in English? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

"Fåntratt", litterally translated as "idiot funnel". Something you might call a silly person

YSK it's either "should have" or "should've". "Should of" is incorrect in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

I've seen "should of" in a book before. I think it was house of leaves, that had a bunch of them in it but it was only from one characters perspective if I remember correctly, so it might have been a stylistic choice. Still recommend the book though.

I fully agree, the show is amazing, hooked me from the start! Though I haven't had the time to watch past episode 5 yet.

I just started reading the first book because of the show, and in the book at least they still allow childrens picture books, and I guess they learned what birds were from them: "Most people doubted those colours in the books, just as they doubted purple elephants and pink birds ever existed." So maybe they saw a duck in the book and now only know what a cartoon duck looks like, but if it would have been a realistic duck on the pez, they wouldn't have known what it was?
