    lol ๐Ÿคฃ... yeah, has happened to me while, for some reason, I've started browing some community and just forgot that I was in it, instead of my feed, like "boy, they sure overdid the meme posts today" ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ.

    This is a greek price aggregator

    https://www.skroutz.gr/s/5082500/Sudocrem-Kataprayntiki-Krema-250gr.html

    Here is the google translation

    "protects, soothes and relieves

    ideal for every diaper change

    for external use only

    care for the whole family"

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    Yeah, I use it as well ๐Ÿ˜‚. Hell, if it's for a baby's skin, it can't hurt for grown ups ๐Ÿคท ๐Ÿ˜‚.

    Does wonders to be honest, rashes gone in a day or two. It really is a great product (and not that expensive as well). Would recommend it to anyone if you can find it in pharmacies ๐Ÿ‘.

    User is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

    Sudocrem is such a life saver.

    [โ€“] palordrolap@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Until the kids get their hands on it and decide use it to "paint" half a room.

    Reminded me that I apparently once painted the TV with nail varnish.

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

    Or just paint themselves...

    i can't tell if this is serbocroatian or slovenian or something else but i'm too afraid to ask

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Serbocroatian is long gone, it was a construct made up back in Yugoslavia. It was basically Serbian written in latin (basically... there were some things from Croatian, but very little).

    It's Croatian. Serbian and Croatian are similar, but Serbian is written in Cyrillic, while Croatian in Latin.

    [โ€“] force@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    A majority of linguists consider Serbocroatian to be one language, there are many distinct dialects (with different countries having different standards). The writing system is irrelevant, the writing system isn't the language (this can be seen in Mongolian, Tibetan, Hindustani, Persian, Kazakh, previously Azerbaijani, and contemporary Chinese languages as well). Also you can write Serbian in Latin script (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Serbian)

    They are no less mutually intelligible than what are considered different dialects of other languages. In fact as someone who can read Russian & Polish I can understand a good amount of written Serbocroatian with trouble (it's a lot harder than reading something like Ukrainian due to linguistic distance), it's significantly closer between Serbian & Croatian varieties. Often people on media/politics pretend not to understand the other though due to mutual hatred from nationalism.

    I would like to spend a lot of time on the language one day, I haven't done much besides read some from grammar books on it. I like it a lot.

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Yes, you can write Serbian in latin, but not on any documents... as in, you can do it, but informally.

    You are correct about the politics part. Serbs and Croats understand each other perfectly, so do Bosnisnas. The odd balls out were Slovenian and Macedonian, with Slovenian (IMO) being a little bit harder to decypher than Macedonian.

    [โ€“] force@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    Ye AFAIK Slovenian is considered a very different language by most and Macedonian is significantly more grammatically similar to Bulgarian. I'm not very sure about Macedonian tho.

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    Yes, gramatically, it's similar to Bulgarian (we don't have cases like the others, we solve that with adverbs and adjectives), but in terms of words, it's similar to Serbian and Croatian. Regarding sentence structure, yes, it's similar to Bulgarian, with emphasis sounding more like Serbian or Croatian (Bulgarian sounds more like Russian).

    Slovenia was under Austro-Hungary during the last 5 centuries (20th century excluded), so they have a lot of German (Austrian) lingo in their vocabulary, plus sentence formation is also kind of confusing (for me at least).

    [โ€“] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Government issued documents are in Cyrillic by default in Serbia, but official documents can be written in Latin as well. It's not forbidden to use either of the alphabets. Most of the ads, signs and similar material are written indeed in Latin.

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    For "backwards compatibility" I presume... and also catering to Croats and Bosnians that live in Serbia.

    [โ€“] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I'd say it's a habit now more than anything. It's also more convenient not having to configure computer and phone, etc. Latin has become dominant. Everyone still learns both and has to know how to write in print and cursive. But no one writes print Cyrillic by hand anymore, or at least very few. I still prefer cursive Cyrillic to anything else, because it flows better. But print Latin is what most kids write these days from what I've seen. There has been suggestions of government incentive to keep Cyrillic. Proposal was to give some tax deductions if companies use Cyrillic for most things. Probably didn't go far. But it is a cultural heritage worth keeping.

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    Cyrillic is a must here (Macedoia). Sure, we text and may write in Latin (not all the time though), but other than that, yeah, we still use Cyrillic.

    I just text in Latin. Can't really get accustomed to the Cyrillic keboard, 4 more letters and my fingers are thick ๐Ÿ˜‚.

    Russians are die hard though, they don't write Russian in Latin... ever ๐Ÿ˜‚.

    [โ€“] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I should probably start typing more in Cyrillic, even my messages. Most people will laugh at me for doing so.

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

    Yeah, mine as well ๐Ÿ˜‚... cuz most know I type texts and chat client messages in latin only ๐Ÿ˜‚.

    [โ€“] Persen@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

    It's Serbocroatian, Serbian, Croatian or Bosnian.

    [โ€“] winety 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    It's not Czech. I'd say it's Croatian.

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

    Yep, Croatian.

    [โ€“] badbytes@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    It's how mini servers are born. Just a little Sudocrem inserted into open port.

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

    It has to be the right port though... otherwise, it's a waste of data.

    [โ€“] poplargrove@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Can someone explain the joke?

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    sudo cream... as in you put the cream on your toddlers when they misbehave, so you get sudo privilges with them (super user do, it's the same as executing commands as root, i.e. you can do anything and everything, it's the highest level of permission). For example, sudo behave. It's often used if regular behave just doesn't cut it ๐Ÿ˜‚.
