Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Accuweather handling rain and snow differentlyEnglish
71·3 months agoNo, as far as I know the convention is to measure by melted height. Although this may be more useful for actually understand how much snow fell. Measured by molten height, the actual snow is about ten times as deep
Edit: I could be wrong, but this is the way that Yr and SMHI measure things

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•My Indigenous Ancestors on Christmas Day
34·3 months agoWhat? Milk and chocolate? Another shocking discovery that cultures vary. In Sweden it would be porridge for the hustomte (house gnome), at least in my experience

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there an app that fusions driving directions & weather at the same time? I'm driving 600 miles and I want to know where it's not raining along the way. ?
1·3 months agoThe most I’ve done on my bike is about 60 km in a day, two days in a row. It rained the entire first day, but it was still rather enjoyable. And I didn’t get any ass sores.

2·3 months agoI don’t know any, but it would be useful. Charging stops along the way would also be nice. And directions for biking

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How would you calm down somebody if neither of you speaks the other’s language?
10·3 months agoI fell like speaking calmly might help even if the person doesn’t understand your words. Hugging someone is probably going to be weird if they can’t understand you at all, and especially if your a man hugging a woman. Maybe a pat on back though?
Also, as others said, try to look as calm as possible. Apart from that maybe a hand on your heart? (Is that how you say that in English?) I don’t see that being misinterpreted

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If you had too, how would go about running a Instagram account?
1·3 months agoHiding seems like a good idea. I have a Instagram account with my real name on my phone because I need it to get information way more often then I’d want to. In a matter of days multiple friends tried to follow my account, even though I never posted anything.
Also, as many people have already said, Instagram is geard towards short form video. As said, I really don’t use Instagram but if I scroll down my home feed past the accounts I follow I just get fed maybe 80% short forn video of which alot seems to be AI generated.
Do you have a link to your community? I would be interested

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal?
2·3 months agoI fumbles into a rabbit hole. Both of those laws are from 1736, which I have heard before. But apparently, the trade code from that year is also still in effect. It isn’t nearly as funny (although I didn’t check the Finnish version that thoroughly, so there might be some gems there that I missed) but there are some highlights:
Chapter 14 is titled “About Mercenary” (at least that’s how I interpret “Om legohjon”) but the chapter is left completely empty. They chapter is completely removed in the Finnish version.
Also, there is chapter 3 about what one shall do to receive the right to trade and become a part of the burgher class. Removed in Finland
Finally, you may not use boats, shipyards or aircraft in a pledge (is that correct English?). This is revised in the Finnish version, and the same prohibition doesn’t exist there. This is chapter 10 § 7 for those interested

2·3 months agoThis is amazing. Somewhere in the back of my head I knew that you still had the old Criminal Code left, but never had I read it. Here in Sweden we have since swapped that one for a hopefully less outdated law. Here is a English translation for those interested:
We Alexander the Third, by the Grace of God, Emperor and Autocrat of all Russia, Tsar of Poland, Grand Duke of Finland, etc., etc., etc., do hereby solemnly declare: At the submissive request of the Estates of Finland, We hereby ratify the following penal code for the Grand Duchy of Finland, concerning the introduction of which, as also concerning the execution of punishment, a special decree is issued:
(That’s a machine translation, I couldn’t be bothered to do it myself. But I must say I’m impressed of how well it handled the very old school Swedish)
Also, regarding the other law, byggningabalken or Rakennuskaari, we apparently removed the really funny section about the mandatory ownership of a hops trellis in 1860 here in Swede. To bad really. But the rest of that law still applies here. Also, on behalf of the Finnish state I would like to charge you a fine of one riksdal for not maintaining your hops trellis the last year.
And finally, in regards to OPs question, in Sweden we have the official government site https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-och-lagar/ and then https://lagen.nu/ which is a bit more user friendly

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•THIS is a real test of how old you are. If you score 20 your future is short

Edit: or probably just 2
I feel like this should be reversed
My Swedish brain instantly thought that that is obviously Iceland






Or they could just tag them NSFW and we could filter that way
