I'm afraid I Kant give you good Marx for such bad jokes. They just Arendt good enough to waste my Lessing time on them.

3.14 is pi π, the golden ratio is 1.618 or phi φ.

How relatable. He who hasn't ever accidentally shared classified information about military strikes with a random journalist using a commercial chat app on a private phone, let him first cast a stone at them.

This has nothing to do with Signalgate directly, except that it affects some of the same Trump officials.

Furthermore, the main concerns about Signalgate isn't Signal's security. While we can obviously never fully rule out that Signal could be compromised, there are many other ways the chat could get compromised:

1. Someone's Signal account could get compromised if someone else steals or guesses the password (like in the Spiegel article).
2. Some unauthorized person could accidentally get invited to the chat (for example a journalist from the Atlantic).
3. One of the phones could get hacked. (This is likely to happen if someone takes their phone to Russia.)

Additionally, Signal was used to avoid any records of what was discussed.

I think the Euro would primarily be for countries in the inner circle with exceptions made for microstates like San Marino or Andorra which already use the Euro. I'm not sure if adopting the Euro would provide much benefit to Canada. Membership in the European Economic Area (EEA, basically the single market), or some light version of the single market, might make more sense for Canada.

They are called Pfannkuchen in former West Germany and Eierkuchen in former East Germany. In the East, Pfannkuchen refers to something more akin to a doughnut, called Berliner or Krapfen in the West.

Maybe the November 2024 spike was caused by VPN users?

I further looked up interest in the search term Lemmy as a social network in Iceland over the last five years and found a peak in November 2024.

I can't really find a good explanation for that. Lemmy Kilmister was both born and died in the month of December, but this doesn't explain an Iceland specific peak only in the year 2024, nine years after his death and 79 years after his birth. There was also a concert by the band GulaR bauniR at the Lemmy bar in Reykjavik in November 2024, maybe that's the reason?

Your chart of world-wide interest in the search term Lemmy as a social network shows a peak in July 2023, probably caused by the Reddit API drama. Iceland, meanwhile, is curiously the country with the most imterest in this search term.

Google offers three categorizations for the search term Lemmy:

• this social network,
• the musician Lemmy Kilmister, and
• a film about his life.

I looked up interest in the search term Lemmy in Iceland specifically without applying any categorization, for all time and for the last five years.

On the first chart (all time), there are two noticeable peaks: one in 2015, the year Lemmy Kilmister died, and one in 2022, about a year before the Reddit API drama.

On the second chart (last 5 years), there are noticeable peaks every summer since 2022. I googled Iceland Lemmy, and stumbled across a bar, restaurant and music venue in Reykjavik called Lemmy. I'd guess it's named after Kilmister. This venue's Facebook page was created in October 2021. Some more research brought up a rock festival organised by the venue called ROKKHÁTÍÐ LEMMY which seems to take place every year since 2022 in late July or early August.

My guess is that Google, to some degree at least, confuses interest in this festival for interest in the social network of the same name.

The German Greens are arguably one of the most pro-Ukranian parties in Germany at the moment.

No, that would be stealing ideas from centrist democrats.
