on "Buy European" in every official European language in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk · 8 Sep 2026
Well one of these is Armenian. Armenia is neither in the EU nor in Europe except for the broadest possible, and I would say very dubious, definition of Europe. I feel like including Georgia but especially Armenia is hard to argue except from a cultural perspective where these nations are Christian and therefore sort of belong more in the European christian sphere rather than the west Asian Islamic sphere.

on Your smartwatch is lying to you about how many calories you burned, Study finds in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
My exercise bike gives me a calorie count and apparently they are a bit better because the bike can actually measure how many watts of power you are generating which is the dream scenario for any calorie counting device. However even then they are only 80-85% accurate in counting calories because apparently we humans are all differently efficient in converting calories into watts. Despite this I still use that calorie number, but not to measure how many muffins I can now eat post workout, but just to compare my different workouts to each other. Recently I have been doing 1k kcal per day. Who knows maybe I’m efficient and it’s actually 800kcal. But it gives me a goal to move towards each day.
Intellectually I know different kinds of warmth should be the exact same. Temperature is simply how fast the molecules are shaking and what heat source heated them shouldn’t influence anything. But the heat caused by gasoline feels different to me. That sunshine captured by million year old tree ferns and ancient algae broken down to oil over eons creates a warmth when burned that feels unlike anything else. But it must be all in my head, right?
