I can't wait until the day the poles flip and I can go on reddit and type 'Meanwhile in the USA'.
Because fuck all yo preconceptions.

Well the apples have something of a mad right wing government, so I think it can already be said that they’ve flipped, for a given definition of flipped which is sky not very nice to right-wing folks.

Meanwhile, in the USA, the entire Right commits suicide because JESUS.

The entire left commits suicide because with the right gone, they now have to decide who counts as right, and no one can accept being conservative amongst liberalism.

I know very well what elderflower tastes like, my dad  made elderflowerade almost every summer for my whole childhood. It doesn't taste like it smells.

Because it smells like cat piss.

What?

Every elderflower based drink I've had has smelled vaguely sweet and tasted like lychees.

What the hell is a lychees?

[TD1]

Small fruit with a stone in the middle.

[Hanslanda]

Peach? Plum?

SPEAK. ENGLISH.


(Also a joke mate.)

In China, civil servants will take up residence with muslim families, to teach them the Chinese language and national anthem, and to look if there are extremists amongst the family.
Imagine waking up one morning and finding a civil servant sleeping next to you.

Is that the Chinese equivalent of waking up with a horse head in your bed?

[Doomblade187]

Lychees are excellent. Especially fresh from the pod thing.

... wait a tick, wasn't booze ads illegal on stateside TV for a while there? Could swear I didn't have to deal with that on the screen at some point, and I just noticed they're either back or I somehow missed them never leaving (which, fairness where due, is possible considering how much I don't watch TV).

Frostpunk

Sounds like a genre where everything is made of ice.

It's basically a post-apocalyptic-ice-age city builder-survival hybrid based on steampunk technology.

I tried it, I couldn't get into it (city builders aren't my thing any more), but I'm certainly enjoying watching it on the yubtub.

Oooo, it looks pretty nice! Something new on the wishlist

I've always wondered how it is to experience snow...even just in simulations.

[pisskop]

There's more than 1 kind and feel to snow 

There's soft, dry snow, and heavy, sloppy wet snow.  Snow that has melted and re-frozen, and slush.  We have icy snow that results from freezing rainstorms, and even thin snow that melts as you touch it.

Try taking ice shavings from a freezer, and thats not a bad approximation of the gentle, man-made stuff.  Won't get much nicer than ice shavings on a hot summer day

[Greiger]

Snow is horrible enough that me and my entire immediate family moved 880 miles due south simply to get away from the stuff.

Snow is evil, snow shows no mercy, snow will bury your means of transportation with no remorse, snow will laugh at your pathetic shovel, snow will collapse the building you are in without a second thought, snow will construct massive walls on your fence as tall as a house and thicker than a concrete slab just because it can, snow will trap your car's wheels and laugh at your pathetic attempts to free your car, snow feels no pain, snow feels no emotion, snow is the devil.

I've never heard of such a thing. Afaik they've always been there.

Here in india, it's illegal to advertise booze in most contexts, so they advertise other products by the same company.

Like Bacardi Mineral Water, or Budweiser Audio CDs.
