Not only cats, most sounds are expressed differently in different languages. If you want to learn more about that you should search for cross-linguistic onomatopoeia.

15°C is way too cold as room temperature, 18 - 20°C is the minimum at which I’m comfortable

I do have a 3d game in mind, not hyper realistic but maybe a similar style as the recent Zelda games BotW/TotK especially when it comes to the character/animal models. Thank you so much, this is very helpful!

Holy shit, I didn’t know that that’s a feature. For the two times a year I need to edit videos I will never have to deal with shitty free versions/test versions of video editing software ever.

I’m German and this is definitely also done here

One of my cats started to give birth while next to me. I was still a kid and thought she peed on the sofa so I went downstairs to get something to clean the mess, the cat followed me while having contractions. My mom realised what was happening and told me to leave her alone, so I tried to get away but the cat still followed me while having half a kitten hanging out. So I stayed with her the whole time. Rip little old Lisbeth.

If I remember right zebras are also black with white stripes.

In what language?

German word for chocolate = Schokolade take “Sch” and “L” and swap: Lokoschade

I think it looks and sounds (if you pronounce it german) like “gesellig” which partially also fits with it’s meaning.

Oh no…ok I actually know that story too. Aw man what has the internet done to me…

What is the broken arms thing a reference to?

Yeah they both have some serious mental issues and have not been good for each other.

Overall she has moved left, but recently she had some really weird reactionary takes and she tends to pal around with people who are nice to her regardless of their political views. Her current boyfriend is, as far as I know, a conservative. Imo seems kinda spineless to be friends with people who actually don’t want you to exist.

I almost exclusively play single player games or multiplayer games with friends I know in real life. I’ve had some bad experiences with online gaming and they are often way too stressful for my liking.

Not Op, but another reason why some people might collect rainwater is that the tap water where they live is way to hard. The mineral content is very high and for example most houseplants cannot survive on it on the long-term. My dad also used rainwater for his aquarium fish.

Yes, there are ways to filter it and make it softer, but it’s just way easier to just collect and store some rainwater.
