I just like being able to feel when people on the other side of the globe are starting to post (sopuli.xyz)

Hello,

Small post, I hope this is the correct community.

I am based in Europe, and it's funny to see comments and posts coming when people in the US end their work day or check Lemmy at lunch.

Reminds me a bit of Reddit in the old days, when you could feel the pulse of the different populations. Makes the whole experience a bit more organic.

That's all for me, have a good one!

American here. When I start seeing European posts in my All feed I know I've stayed up too late and need to go to bed. It's fun to see them, too. Sometimes I almost think I can understand the Dutch headlines.

That happens to Germans when they get drunk too. Same language

I've heard that the Dutch are really Germans who suffered head injuries. Since they cannot drive safely in their condition, they were sent to the Netherlands to recover where they can get around on foot or on bicycle.

Ha ha ha, makes sense for you to have the opposite perspective!
