Some examples from flemish (belgian dutch) to dutch:

I remember the first time in a swimming pool in flanders I was so confused by all the signs saying I shouldn’t walk.

I guess warm breath rises, you can see it in winter when your breath is visible.

However, co2 is not present as a gas in your body, but bound to hemoglobin, so I think it only becomes a gas again in your lungs. Same as farts only forming “outside” your body in your intestines.

They are not really getting paid, they are getting the money back they paid for windfarm permits and in exchange they have to invest the money in oil and gas in the US.

Breastmilk is also made up of numerous chemicals. Chemicals are not bad, we are made of chemicals.

What I mean is that this particular military guy did not even take that simple precaution.

I only share my strava activities with followers, unless I’m doing an event or I’m not starting from home/work/standard locations. And I have no real reason except for simple privacy (and a minor fear for stalkers and bikethiefs)

I hope neurodevelopmental disorders would also get more attention. Although less people suffer from it than from aging-related disorders, when a child is born with a severe disease it affects not only the child’s life, but also that of parents and siblings. (I don’t mean neurodivergence, I mean severe disorders that prevent a child from being able to walk, communicate, and/or live in health).

In comparison with aging-disorders, so many good years of life are lost.

If my dog would ever talk I would explain to him in detail why our high salt diet with onions and avocado and chocolate would kill him and that giving him more than a lick of whipped cream gives him diarhea. Poor guy doesn’t understand that we deny him because we love him.

I use a mini-fork (dessert fork?)

Not to say fiber isn’t important, but I feel like the high protein crowd is making a shift to fibermaxxing and we will have stupid (ultraprocessed) high fiber products pushed to us instead of high protein soon. Unfortunately there is little money to be made on us all eating our fruit and veggies.

When we feel out of control we often hyperfocus on something we can (somewhat) control, like diet.

For me it is also any advantage I can get to keep up with my boyfriend. No competition, just hoping he feels slightly out of breath when I am panting for air. Unfortunately he is the weaker one in a group of bike friends too, so he also tries to optimize as much as possible.

I’m slightly convinced that for everyone under pro levels this is all just placebo. But I still shave my legs and if I had the money I would buy all the cool stuff.

I heard of a dog in our local dog park who ran into a stone bench so hard he broke his skull and died, so please try to teach your dog not to do that. If you reward his head hitting behavior by taking him for a walk he will keep doing it. Try to teach him something else instead, easiest is that he has to stop hitting his head, give you a paw and only then do you take the leash. Eventually (hopefully) he will paw at you instead if running into stuff when he wants to go out.

The point is that if there weren’t a lot of cars around you would probably not be living the way you are living now.

My boyfriend and I share a spotify account and when one of us notices the other one is listening we insert the song into the queue. Most of the time my boyfriend doesn’t even notice he is getting rickrolled.

There are more reasons than just brain rot for not wanting to spend 20 minutes of your free time watching a video about popcorn settings on microwaves.

Cycling anywhere in the netherlands and getting more than 1 meter of elevation per km classified as a hilly route in my book.

Muscles are so attractive though, most gymbros just overdo it. I’m thinking more greek god/statue, less Arnold.

Cooking laundry sounds like a fun way to say dishwashing.
