The frontend has been that way for months but as you can see, federation and the API still works (except for media upload) so I can keep using my account with third-party apps.
Kenne dein
Ich weiß, es geht um Zangendeutsch, aber auf diese Phrase bin ich allergisch. Die Angelsächser verwenden in diese Fälle Personalpronomen statt etwas wie "man". Ich bevorzüge "Maimaiskennenlernen".
Not in terms of pure logic but definitely in practical terms. You don't get far in humanities if you only follow pure logic.
Does the cross mean "oh, it's actually only 3 things other than that one legendary dwarf", "hating elves" or "no relationships"?
Oh nein! Da muss man auf Relativität achten!
Das würde erklären, warum aus Standpunkt DB Züge mit 5 Min. Verspätung als pünktlich gelten.
Wrong number of texts, too
More like 10-15 cm but yes
"Börseverein" basically means "Stock Market Club". At least they're not subtle.
Both look very much like .NET development with C# in Visual Studio. Each of these way too much Microsoft for a Lemmy user to touch.
Person #2 is way too masculine and attractive. The people in picture #3 are way too close to touching grass and socializing. The furry (#4) is indeed the most believable.
Unless it's the 52Hz whale. I'd shed a tear for that lonely creature; not for that biologist though.

sexuality-box rule
(lemmy.ml)
PCBWay's "contact" detail page includes gender. (You contact me on my phone number, email or gender.) Apparently, the third gender is "Secrecy". In HTML, the selector is called "sexuality". Maybe I can change the sex of the fake support agent's avatar?
Anyway, the HTML is questionable and so is the JavaScript: there is a GMT and China Time clock that shows seconds but as explicitly stated, it "updates every 5 minutes". Or at least it would if the timeout function wasn't broken. When I forcefully run it, it adds 5 minutes but subtracts a giant number of years (invisibly because the date does not update), eventually reaching 64bits' worth of microseconds ago and starting to show "NaN:NaN:NaN" in the date. Instead of fixing this, they limited the time update task scheduler to only run 10 times but it actually runs 0 times.

Warum darf man auf "fahrradfreie" Strecken radeln, wenn Alkohol in eine "alkoholfreie" Flasche nicht eingelassen wird?

A recreation of the Piper Perri Surrounded meme. A white CASIO CFX-9850GB PLUS calculator is laid on its side on a cushion while three TI-83 Plus and two TI-84 Plus calculators, all black, are standing behind the cushion. The faces of corresponding actors are shown in 4-tone pixelated pictures on each calculator's respective screens, grayscale on the TIs and sepia-toned on the CASIO thanks to its (limited) color graphics. Words of the text "Original meme by Chaotic Neutral Czech" are used in place of the SHIFT functions on a row of keys on the Casio as a mild watermark.

Yes, this is a map of the Sun.
Legend:
🟥 OW OW MY EYES
Explanation
- Orthographic projection = view of a sphere from a large distance. It sucks because it distorts terribly and cannot show more than one hemisphere. It is how we see astronomical objects.
- Dymaxion projection = the globe is projected on an icosahedron, which is then cut into its net. The net is usually chosen to keep continents continuous but the Sun does not have this restriction. As such, any of the 43,380 distinct edge-cut nets can be used, as well as an unlimited number of nets if side cutting is allowed (as the most commonly used Dymaxion projection of Earth does).

The flag of Japan is a rectangular white banner bearing a crimson-red circle at its center to symbolize the rising sun. Instead of a circle, this version features a shape composed of 20 equilateral triangles that form a icosahedron net that somewhat resembles this community's iconic stegosaurus. (To improve the stegosaurish look, the net is actually fake and won't fold correctly but don't tell anyone. One would need a good sense of 3D visualisation or actually create and try to fold it to find out.)
