no watering is required the sky takes care of that
and I am skeptical that burning a gallon of fuel every month or however long it takes to go through one in a mower offsets all the sweet CO2 that this grass is soaking up
nah in the summer people water their lawns
lawns are stupid and I hate them
get an electric lawn mower
My friend has an electric mower
We live in an area that gets 50% of its electricity from coal
we got lots of hydro here
get dunked coal
Those dams aren't exactly great for ecosystems either.
Nor do they build themselves.
Still better than coal.
ok my mower is sun powered and built from sustainably farmed bamboo
are we happy now people
Depends.
Did you get the grass' permission before mowing it and did the bamboo agree to be made into a mower?

Like there's a magazine in the UK (Monocle) that comes out of with a "soft power index" to make Euro countries feel better about how they're secretly the most powerful country ever. One of the metrics is how many of their people appear in Hollywood movies
I do kinda laugh evilly that in China all the people from the other Asian countries learn english to talk to each other rather than learn each other's languages. This dude from Malaysia lost his passport in the hotel and the staff had to call over one of the guys from my work group to talk to him in English. All the Japanese vendors in the factory use English to communicate with the Chinese. Koreans and Vietnamese too.
Imagine how weird it would be if the lingua franca was French instead!
Billions of chinese people exclaiming "hon hon hon, le fromage".
Billions of Indians responding "Hon hon hon, la moustache"

bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

I used to think it was bad because of how hard it is to learn, largely because we break our own rules constantly.
But now, now I think that English is probably the best language.
Because of poetry. What's the difference between Joy and Ecstasy? Clearly they refer to different things, but where does Happy fit in there? Poetry in english is so expressive because we have all these words that mean almost the same thing. It allows for us to express ourselves in subtle ways. Good ways. Where other languages might have 2 words for something, we have 8.
Also there's the fact that we are just about as good as Germans at making up new words, and we make up the words that everyone else uses.
Eh, most languages have a history of artists and poetry. And despite having tons of repetition in our language, we don't really have words for complex ideas without stealing them from other languages. I mean, we don't even have a word for sehnsucht.
Well, certainly other languages have histories of poetry. I just think that English is probably one of the better languages in the world for writing poetry in. It's more expressive than pretty much any other language.
It's great that you point out German, because I mean it's probably one of our closest linguistic relatives. So...I count that as a win for English.
Also I bet we could express what is expressed by Sensucht, if it was part of our experience.
We aren't as crazy as those silly Europeans.
I've always found it interesting what we don't have words for.
We have "starving", but nothing for dying of thirst. I guess you don't need that because why would you live somewhere where that was even common?
We can "suffocate" and "drown", but the only word I know for bleeding to death is "exsanguinate", but that's pretty frenchy.
Wow that got macabre.
You don't have a word for starving to death either. "starving to death." is what you've got. Just starving doesn't mean you've died yet.
Just had a urinal talk with my boss. That. The most. Awkward. Thing.

When you invent something new that didn't exist 4000 years ago in China, you have to borrow words from other languages.
Unless you like to say "lightning air finger words" to mean something like "texts"
They've actually been doing this.

Nonsense. The Chinese language has the capacity to invent and repurpose words without making them too cumbersome, just like any other language.
I mean in theory I guess. It's been a while since they invented anything.
the worst part is that the facilities exist and are half built

Yeah that is absolute nonsense. It isn't a special quality of english at all.
