kryptonite@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Thinking of immigrating to Italy - am I insane?14·4 months agoThat’s not the difference. Both words have noun and verb forms.
Immigrate = to move to a place
Emigrate = to move from a place
Immigrant = a person who moved to a place
Emigrant = a person who moved from a place
So they would be emigrating from the US and immigrating to Italy. They would be a US emigrant and an Italian immigrant.

That seam was the bane of my existence.
kryptonite@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a sentence nobody has said in 20 years?5·7 months agoNot everything is available on streaming. Even things that are available might not be on the services they have subscribed to. Also, while DVDs often have a “play all” option, you can typically play a single episode, and it will stop when it’s over, which is pretty useful for helping to limit how long the kids are watching TV.
kryptonite@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lab grown protein: if created, would you move to it?1·7 months agoA lot of milk replacements are common allergens. I can’t eat almonds. A lot of people can’t have soy. I’m guessing very few people are allergic to all of them, though.
Jam is made with pureed fruit, while jelly is made from fruit juice. Colloquially, though, people use the terms interchangeably constantly.
I always hated the advice to make an L with your hands to see which one was Left. No one ever specified whether you’re supposed to have your palms facing you or facing away, so it’s ambiguous.
When I was a kid, I would picture a dining place setting because I knew the fork was on the left.

kryptonite@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What did you get told as a child that you realised was a lie as you got older?1·1 year agoYou’re thinking of imaginary numbers. Irrational numbers are real numbers that have an infinite number of decimal places and don’t repeat.
kryptonite@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•to those of you of either sex who wear thongs or strings, doesn't the back side get in direct contact with your anus?6·1 year ago“Thong” can mean a type of sandal, also known as flip-flops, but it’s also the name of a type of underwear or swimsuit bottom that’s basically a string in the back.
I grew up calling flip flops “thongs”, but as I got older, people were almost exclusively using that term for the underwear, so I switched terms to avoid confusion.

It would be “You all would not have” because “You all did not have agreed with me” doesn’t make sense.
