Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you pronounce zebra in your country: zeebra or rhymes with Debra?
10·6 months agoZay-braah I guess, if I would try to write Dutch sounds in English spelling.
There’s a sound version available at https://webwoordenboek.nl/uitspraak/zebra

Dungeons and Dragons@lemmy.world•DndBeyond will now use "5.5e" as version label
5·8 months agoNitpicky, but 2 out of 3 core rulebooks of the 2024 version were released in 2024, not just one.
Using year labeling of your product is generally a bad idea, imho, because it makes it appear outdated really quick.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word?
6·9 months agoSo, you now learned that human behaviour is often silly when observed without context

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word?
5·9 months agoBecause it is a word, or it’s easier to say, or funnier.
It’s definitely not the only case. NATO comes to mind, or GOAT, NIMBY. Yesterday I heard someone say (in a tv series episode) ‘fudney’ for FDNY
What it ‘actually’ is does not matter.
It’s ICE, as in: cold as

Dungeons and Dragons@lemmy.world•How it feels to come back to Dungeons and Dragons after 20 years.
6·10 months agoI played in a university gaming club from 1984-1989. Then nothing, but it kept popping up in my life. I just had nobody to play with anymore. Then 2016 arrived, and I did some internet searching. I found (after some false starts) a group, that I still play with every Thursday night.
Yes, for me it also feels like home.
I hope your—and mine—d&d journey keeps on giving!
Good question. So, perform an experiment: put an ice cube without air bubbles in a glass containing a mixture of ice and cold water. The temperature should become 0°C (just before it freezes), measure it.
Your hypothesis: ice is heavier than water, so it will sink
Execute the test several times, preferably 10 times or more. More is better.
Please share your experiment results. Interesting data to know for each test would include:
- sequence number of the test
- temperature of the mixture before and after you put the ice cube in
- method of ice cube creation
- volume of the ice cube
- volume of water/ice mixture
- depth of the water/ice mixture (should be > size of the ice cube)
- type of water used (tap, bottled, …)
- did the ice cube sink
- if no, what volume of the cube remained above the surface level
please also share your conclusion.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•THIS is a real test of how old you are. If you score 20 your future is short
5·10 months agoYou don’t scare me.
AOL never was available in my country. Check books? I’ve never even seen someone actually using one, I think.I will never get to 20, yay!
I’m not sure if Roman Numerals are the best choice for statistics
Insight check! I think they’re just trying to deceive us, that this actually is an attempt to LFG.
Jon and Bodhi are also playing their part as Group Patrons in the official 5e (published by WotC on dmsguild) book “Minsc and Boo’s Journal of Villainy”
Including quests, stat blocks, lore, and special group perks.

Programming@programming.dev•Can you suggest any online typing game for measuring the speed and accuracy of kids in real time ? It's preferable that it's in the form of graphics like video games, which the kids enjoy playing
4·1 year agoNot exactly what you asked, but close I think: a (paid) full gamified typing course for kids, in several languages including English: https://www.typetopia.com/

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Sign language interpretters would probably be great at spelling bees
31·1 year agoPeople that use a keyboard spell out each word they type. They still need spellcheckers.

The planet Dune is special, because only there Spice, the most important chemical in the universe, is found.
Several noble families and organizations battle to gain control over the Spice.
—SPOILERS below for parts 1 & 2 of the series—
One of the families is set up to be murdered, but their young son survives. He is rescued by the planet’s locals.
These locals are fierce, and they are many.
—SPOILERS for part 3 & the rest of the books—
Lead by the noble son, the local people rise up and conquer the universe. The son becomes the new emperor.
He realizes that the universe – and mankind – is vulnerable because of the single source of Spice. Under the influence of Spice, he sees and enforces a Golden Path, which will eventually ensure mankind’s survival but destroy the empire.
