I just used the opportunity to flip some of what vegans come across daily.

I just found the picture with the caption during a web search for such an infographic. Only the Goodfellas-part is from me. But does it matter what kind of burger it is?

How do you spot a meat eater? They’ll tell you.

Wikipedia confirmed though:

The A&W research firm organized focus groups. The results revealed that many participants mistakenly believed that one-third of a pound was smaller than one-fourth (quarter) of a pound. Focus group participants expressed confusion over the price, asking why they should pay the same amount for a “smaller” third-pound burger.

This misunderstanding stemmed from consumers focusing on the numbers “3” and “4,” leading them to conclude that one-third (1/3) was smaller than one-fourth (1/4), even though the opposite is true.[2]

A similar explanation appeared in The New York Times in 2014, citing the third-pound burger as one of the most vivid examples of consumer arithmetic failure.[3] In taste tests, customers actually preferred A&W’s burger to McDonald’s, and it was less expensive.

According to a CBC report, more than half of the people surveyed about the burger said they didn’t buy it because they thought they were getting less meat.[4]

In Germany, we have 125g patties. But a pound is slang for 500g and does not equate to an imperial pound.

Would never have happened if 'murica used metrics lol

Is this a meme or a course for US-americans who don’t know how to use the decimal system?

I might be wrong but I think I have memories of this even from before 2014.

No, this is Patrick!

I think it’s not unnecessary to let you know why you’re getting downvoted.

Same. It’s about 90s culture, isn’t it? I was born in the early 90s, I didn’t consciously experience a lot of 90s things. My formative years were the 00s, therefore I’m not a 90s kid.

C’est pas le premiere moimoi j’ai fait des poteaux bilingual avec.

“Memes generated by a prompted LLM” doesn’t quite have the same ring.

Quand rance_iel?

Selbstli

That sounds swiss though.

I don’t really want to argue about what is antisemitism, so I leave it at that. Just note that I find your definitions really weird and concerning.

2. It is de facto. Hate speech, which the government will twist as having Nazi origins.

Didn’t say antisemitism isn’t hate speech. But hate speech is not illegal per se. Insults are, but only the insults person can press charges. And Volksverhetzung is, which you want to read up.

4. There was an debate on @lemmy.dbzer0.com

That tells me everything I need to know, thanks. /s

5. The second law of NetzDG (don’t know what to call it else).

“A second law, which is in an earlier stage, aims to make it easier for users to report illegal content and challenge content decisions by internet platforms.”

I agree that they don’t request themselves, but they ought to remove and report the content. What content is vague but a lot of things could easily be interpreted as hate speech by the authorities.

Again, it’s not about hate speech. A lot of hate speech isn’t punishable. NetzDG is about the punishable cases and makes it easier for users to have existing law enforced. I don’t know how that makes feddit.org a zionist instance.

“German Penal Code explicitly prohibits hate speech, defined broadly as any expression that denigrates or vilifies individuals based on attributes such as race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.”

That is incomplete. Again, read up on Volksverhetzung. And, if you want, insults (§185 StGB).

6. I don’t think so. But this is what other users are claiming about @feddit.org. Hence my post.

Its not my opinion but this was my reasoning on why @feddit.org chose their instance rules and why some people are mad about it.

If you don’t agree on feddit.org being a zionist instance and can’t even defend that claim/explain others’ claims, why even make the effort instead of letting OP explain themselves? Only thing you’re doing is open up the doors for strawman arguments. Hence I end the discussion here. I see no point in continuing. Have a nice day.

I’ll keep it brief:

1. Denying Israel’s right to exist is not a crime, it’s just antisemitic. If you want to know why, look it up.
2. Antisemitism is not illegal either.
3. There is a paragraph in the law against incitement/hate speech but that makes it punishable to speak against any given specific group of people in a way that’s able to disturb the public peace (plus some more factual characteristics, law is complex, read it up for yourself if you’re interested).
4. This is the first time I’ve come across anyone who is “against feddit.org” for any reason, who and where are all the users and instances you mentioned?
5. That whole shit about requests from authorities doesn’t work that way. None of it.
6. Even if all of what you said was true, how does it make feddit.org a zionist instance? Are the mods zionists? All (or a majority of) it’s users? Is the content there zionistic in nature?

You have no idea how german law works and what’s the code of law. Read it up before you comment on it again. There’s https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/ listing up all the legal code of Germany (federal law at least, but crime law is federal and the state equivalents are linked somewhere on that page, too). Have fun.

You are wrong on so many things, I don’t even know where to start. Just take everything you wrote, mark it wrong and then forget about it.

Took me too long to realize that a “China Shop” isn’t a place to shop chinese things.

Don’t know about the French, but in German you can’t go wrong with Selbsties.
