Do you mean it’s not called “Helados Holanda”???

Both languges? Which languages? Are “testar” and “teste” English borrowings in those languages as well? I speak spanish, and I know “testear” is derived from “test”. Also, I was looking at the etymology of the word and it turns out it’s latin in origin. This is quite interesting : etymology of “test”

Mine just wants a ring 🥴

Thank you! Those “memes” were very disgusting.

edit: put " " on “memes”

I think we are just a bit biased and disconnected from the general user.

You see, the problem is not that the bot is generally useless. It’s just that bots are not ‘useful’ to you in particular (and to most Lemmy users as of today). Most of the people using this particular website are used to reading a lot of technical (and non-technical) stuff and therefore, are generally good at understanding most computer and internet concepts, which is something I cannot say for the general population outside of these circles. Imagine the old lady trying to buy something on the ‘interweb’ or people who are just not particularly computer literate or ‘tech savy’.

In your case, you mention a bot giving you an answer that you yourself were too lazy to look-up. I’m pretty sure lot’s of people don’t know where to search and/or don’t even bother reading/searching answers to their problems.

See? You just read a whole comment from a stranger because you were curious.

Edit: In reality I agree with you, bots are incredibly frustrating and I do not have any evidence to them ever being helpful, I just wanted to entertain a different idea.

I apologise if this doesn’t quite cut it as a microthought due to the text extension. The idea really is quite simple, it’s just a feeling that’s been invading me lately, I just wanted to find the right words to express it.

If things keep going like this I guess I’ll abandon Youtube completely. How brighter my life will be

I think this would work better as a poll. If you make one please let me know!

Hey there 00’s brother!

I work with data, and just today I found the longest name in our database, it was 46 characters long counting spaces and it consisted of three names and three surnames (which in reality is only two, but one is twice as long).

Mine is 37 characters long and I have two first names and a “Del”. My girlfriend’s is 33 and she has three first names.

The “De”, “Del”, “La”, “Los”, “De La” etc, count as part of a surname. For example “Del Río” is a surname.

For the exaggerated example I gave before, I chose a Telenovela sounding name, those are very uncommon but do exist in the wild. For more examples, I’d recommend you check out spanish royalty names, they are a lot longer and include a bunch of titles a la ‘king of the Andals and the First Men, lord of the seven kingdoms and protector of the realm’ but with saint names and things like that.
