Dutch, a funky dutch dialect, English and I understand German but I don’t speak it. Should probably learn it.

Honestly I quite like it here. It’s obviously not perfect but when I compare it to other countries we do rather well.
Honestly my biggest complaint is that it’s so full. I recently visited Norway and the vast forests and just untamed nature is gorgeous and the air quality is great. But then again nothing is really far away in the Netherlands so ups and downs.
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What family sayings did you think was universal?3·10 months agoYeah my family (mostly my grandma) used that one too but in Dutch. Wat je kop vergeet moeten de benen ontgelden.
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What YouTubers did you used to watch back then but not anymore?6·10 months agoHis brother (Jezza) is a great artist and while I don’t know much about him I don’t think he’s anything like shad. I regularly see him cooperate on a warhammer channel called tabletop time and they have videos about women in the warhammer scene (made by one of their female members). So I highly doubt those two have much in common.
Honestly also some very non niche things that are big on reddit aren’t much of a thing here. Like the Netherlands subreddit is the second largest non English speaking sub. It’s barely a thing on Lemmy.
Honestly I’m engaging more on lemmy in comments but if you manage to create a nice list of fun subs to follow on reddit a lot of complaints about bots and stuff are less problematic. Then again I also follow some Dutch subs and they seem to have less bots with the language barrier and all.
Lemmy does seem to be more negative though. A lot of doom and gloom here. I’m not really into Linux but I’ll admit that windows and Microsoft ain’t great. However the amount of complaining about how shit Microsoft is on stead of being enthusiastic about Linux baffles me. And you see these things in other communities too. The reddit helldivers community seems to be a bunch of memes and the lemmy oke a bunch of complaints.
Then again my comments seem to actually reach people on Lemmy so I am more active here.
My dad found a OG gameboy in a train when I was a kid so when I actually played tetris lol. Close my eyes and see the bricks fall. (which is what the tetris effect is.)
Then I had it with Mario Kart, close my eyes and see the track move.
And the weirdest thing is when I finally got properly used to vr and played 3 hours of half-life: Alyx straight. I had to physically touch a wall to convince a part of my mind that this was real life, and not vr.
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How to get a clue where on the curve of Dunning-Kruger effect you are?121·1 year agoSo using the Dunning-Krueger effect to prove how smart you are is an example of the Dunning-Krueger effect?
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is there no global language that at least nearly half the world speaks (3.5 billion, I'm talkin', including non-native speakers)4·1 year agoNowadays it’s probably also because of the dominance of American culture, especially online.
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?1·1 year agoA local church is about that old (or it’s at least that old, the oldest record of it is from 1262). But there might just be a barn or a windmill that’s much older and nobody knows because at that point it’s actually medieval and record keeping wasn’t great back then.
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?3·1 year agoI’m Dutch and a zoo near me has racoons too. But then again they’re an invasive species here so it’s not as weird.

Sir_Fridge@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your favorite social minority characters in any form of fictional entertainment media, or how should a minority be written better?9·1 year agoCaptain Holt in brooklyn 99. He’s both black and gay but the most standout thing about him is how he is extremely precise and organised and how he shows very little emotion.
He’s portrayed by Andre Braugher who sadly enough past away last year.
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What Are Some Things You Regret Buying or Bought but Never Used?31·1 year agoIt’s funny that I hear this a lot but I’ve been using my dx racer since 2017. I am quite skinny though so that might help. I’m wearing through the fake leather now though, looking to get something new by the end of this year. But the damage is mostly my fault for sitting half crossed legged, sometimes while wearing shoes.
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the worst thing that has ever happened in the Warhammer 40K lore?3·1 year agoIf you want want a fun lighthearted way you could listen/watch adeptus rediculous. It’s one guy who knows a lot explaining warhammer to another guy who knows basically nothing.
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.worldto Steam@lemmy.ml•Palworld reaches 1 million concurrent players on steam and becomes the first hit of 20242·1 year agoSeems friendlier than ark though. Ark will just bug out and remove your favourite creature from existence permanently. Or just kill you and every creature you own by having terribly balancing. I’ve fallen through the world in palworld but it just pops you out at your homebase with your gear and your pals.
Was this added for the shrek 4D movie thing? I saw that in an amusement park once. The dragon sneezes in your face.
Tetris, on the gameboy.
