You joke, but one time I got woken up by what sounded like a Chinese lady complaining about batteries, and it turned out to be the low power alert on the cheapo import soundbar.
directus→derecho from “straight” to “right”
So that’s why “straight on” and “on the right” are the maddeningly confusable “a derecha” and “en derecho”. Such a pain when following directions.

I think they’re regional. I don’t remember seeing one either, but I don’t know if that’s because I haven’t encountered it, or because I didn’t notice.
I would say “it’s on backorder”. You could verb it as “it’s been backordered”, but that feels a bit clunky somehow.
If you put a ! In front of the link, like this;

Placebo buttons.
Some appliances like elevators or traffic crossings cycle automatically, but they still have (non-functional) buttons. If the buttons are removed, people complain that the wait is too long. Let them push a button while they wait, and they’ll think it’s much quicker.
I meant accessibility in the sense of, how difficult/messy/undignified is it to eat. But yes that too. I thought coconuts were brittle, and grapefruit were inedibly sour until I tried some in their country of origin.
Mangos are S tier on taste, but D at best on accessibility. Fruits that I rate highly for both taste and convenience are clementines, seedless green grapes, and those flying-saucer shaped peaches.
Aha! But you won’t be affected until time restarts. And since time has stopped for presumably the whole universe, nothing can happen to restart it.
You have the power to stop time.
🐵🐾 It stops for you, too.
I’ve never heard of Chester cheese. There’s Cheshire cheese, but that’s quite crumbly and wouldn’t hold up to being packaged like this. You might also be thinking of cheddar. A genuine cheddar would be too brittle, but in modern marketing, cheddar is often shorthand for any homogenous, yellow cheese. So this stuff might be described as cheddar on the packet.
I think this stuff is more of a cheese-flavoured sauce, that they inject into the bags and leave to set. It’s more an invention of the convenience food industry, than any culinary tradition.
I’ve just realised why that stuff always tastes like plastic

In Mexico I found out that, when you’re expected to be somewhere at the actual time written on the appointment, it’s called English time. Was a surprise to me (am English) because I thought that was German time.
Answer from @thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee when I asked the same question;
Good question, and sorry to disappoint but I believe the answer is still no. This has been talked about a lot ever since the initial exodus over from Reddit, so I can only assume there’s a complicated technical reason why it’s not a thing yet.
If you’re Lemmying from a browser there’s a tool called Lemmy Universal Link Switcher that I’ve heard good things about, although full disclosure I’ve not used it myself. It doesn’t solve the problem of generating instance-agnostic links but it does try to solve it from the reader’s side.
If you use youtube on a mobile app rather than a browser, it doesn’t have an address bar
