enbyecho@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•With a TikTok Ban Looming, Users Flee to Chinese App ‘Red Note’English2·5 months agoYou are correct - I had forgotten (been quite a while). I still think it’s funny but thanks for pointing this out.
But 宝 (Bǎo) means “precious” or “treasured” and 红宝书 probably only gets translated as little red book because it sounds better in English.

Funny, I was about to say the same about you.
enbyecho@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•people woho regularly go to fast food chains like Burger king - why?English12·5 months agoYou interpret describing cooking as a basic life skill as “looking down on people”? Or did you mean describing fast food as not actual food? Both are very strange to me.
Fast food is junk “food” of low nutritional value at relatively high cost compared with quality food you prepare yourself. Saying this is less than ideal is equivalent to advocating for any healthy practice. It’s not elitist or “looking down on someone” it’s suggesting it’s freakin’ easy to take care of yourself and you should.

enbyecho@lemmy.worldto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•People that argue that dogs are better than cats because "cats can't be trained" almost always own really poorly trained dogs.English1·5 months agoOr they understand that it’s the cats doing the training.
For example, my cat has me trained so that when she comes in at night I give her a treat. Sometimes she’ll demand to go back out again so she can come inside and get another treat. Works perfectly every time.

enbyecho@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•It's 54 degrees Fahrenheit (12 Celsius), raining moderately hard, the rain is cold, and there's a guy blowing around wet leaves with a leaf blower. What the hell is the obsession with leaf blowers?English4·6 months agoYou are overlooking the pollution the emit while running, which is considerable, especially 2-stroke ones. A gas leaf blower used for an hour emits the same air pollution as driving 1,100 miles (source).
And the fact that that oil has to be changed periodically. They also have many plastic parts AND small engines have a notoriously high failure rate when used with ethanol fuels.
Meanwhile, the electric motors in battery ones basically run forever and properly cared for the batteries last many years, after which they can be recycled.
