This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

One of the heads of garlic I grew turned out to be just one solid clove (lemmy.world)

I try to not be a jerk, and this is what I wrote in my inital comment in this thread.

we group onions and garlic together by using the word "lök" with a color and different spacing to differentiate them:

So yes, I did mention the spacing

No one said you didn't.

“vitlök” - garlic

We never talk about “vit lök”, it doesn’t really exist as a concept in Swedish, but we have more types of “lök”…

You did not define what it means with the space though, and you were kind of arrogant when I asked.

Not to mention it doesn't really make sense to say there is a term for something that doesn't exist. Which btw does exist. Most onions are white. So either get better at explaining or have patience with a question. I actually wanted to know. I intended to come across in a joking way because I obviously know garlic is used worldwide these days.

Your inital question was about us not having garlic in Sweden, when I litterarly wrote that in my inital post, hence the downvote, I even explained the difference the spacing makes in the reply to you.

Then you started whining about downvotes....

Whatever dude. I know what happened and I stand firm you're a jerk. Tagged as such, and I won't make the mistake with you again

Ps you are terrible at explanations and understanding another perspective
