My parents still have the one that's on the left in the picture.

Citron en anglais serait "cédrat" en français. TIL

There is a nuance between knowing that no revolution was made without arms and "loving guns"... If I ever have to use one, I know I won't love it.
People forget that not everyone on Lemmy are from the States, because where I am from leftists are usually really anti-gun.
I guess it depends, where I work that's all I see...
Appart from the fact that they are not in fact roddents, both the german and norwegian names already make more sense than french. We call them "chauve-souris", so literally "bald mice".
I think that people like to imagine this opposite dangerous "extreme" to validate that they can have the right to hold their problematic values. But that other extreme is basically a boogeyman. I hear from frienda and family on every subject "oh but we should be careful to not go too far in the other extreme". As if it was a real threat. Not only because we are so closer to right wing extremism at the moment but also because how can caring about other people can be "too extreme".
I understand your point because often in a lot of hobbies, when you are a newbie, people can be very condescending to you. But I still think that it's abnormal the number of people that know nothing about cooking, since, contrary to most hobbies, it is essential for us to eat.
However I think that the real problem is that most people are so overworked and we have so much responsabilities, that it is almost a luxury to take the time to cook in our society. I am pretty sure there would be wayyy more people enjoying cooking if they could take their time doing it.

I second this. Just started and I love it so much. It is so easy to learn how to make a basic loaf of bread yet so rewarding. And even if you fail, you still get bread, just a bit stiff or full of holes, but it will taste like bread. At the same time it's a craft you can continue developping for a good while if you get hooked, because making the perfect loaf takes practice.
