There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

In Australia it means twice a week, we say fortnightly (fourteen-nights) for 2 weeks.
Yeah but the rest of us aren't savages though..
Kidding, much love to the Aussies. Using fortnight unironically and eating Vegemite voluntarily.. you crazy emu-battlers are always up to something wild down there
Today I learned why it's called a fortnight.
I've never once heard that term used in my life in person, only online, though.
And FYI for the peanut gallery: it's a British term, still in use in the motherland.
