For Canadian French content check out Mauril, it’s a platform by Radio-Canada that has compiled clips of their own content suitable for whatever level you’re at, and asks questions to gauge your comprehension.

Speaking of Radio-Canada you could tune into their radio channel ICI Première, which is available in all areas in Canada. In Toronto it’s 860 AM/90.3 FM.

Another resource I like to recommend for language learning in general is Mango Languages, it’s leagues ahead of Duolingo and has a Canadian French course, though it’s not as extensive as the Metropolitan French one. Plus they are partnered with most (at least North American) public libraries so if you have a library card you can register with that for free forever, normally it’s like $20/month or something.

I actually find it more enjoyable to have breakfast after my mouth is refreshed. I wouldn’t enjoy eating with the taste of old mouth juice all over my tongue

Here is a PhET simulation by the University of Colorado Boulder. I remember playing with this one as a kid!

Is your name Matt? My friend in uni whipped out a pepper one day and bit into it like an apple, and just as the OP title describes I was like wtf

But then I thought about it and I was like why should that be so weird?

Adam Something uploaded a video starting with the definition of intelligence itself, and then explains how something that “acts” intelligent doesn’t mean it “is” intelligent.

Buhos is a ska rock band from Catalonia that makes music in Catalan and Spanish. They’ve got some tour dates in the Netherlands in November.

As a student of life I have to mention Anki. At its core it’s a flashcard app out of the box but it’s almost infinitely more powerful than that if you dig deep.

I paid 35 CAD for it in 2019 and I’ve used it every single day since. The amount of knowledge I’ve committed to memory is truly priceless, and I’ve even gifted this app to several friends.

NB: AnkiMobile, not the free knockoff AnkiApp. It’s open-source and actually free for computers and android devices, and iOS/iPadOS app purchases are the only way the developer makes money.

They’re made out of meat.

I mean everyone is different and it depends on your interests. But with Mastodon you can search for and follow hashtags like accounts, then explore users who post with those hashtags.

Given how rare it is to see people smiling in old photos it’s almost jarring/anachronistic to see such a display of emotion.

Under Settings > Appearance, there’s an option to set the UI style to Android, which is currently in beta but it’s a start

Like most other users here I’ve also taken a look around on Mastodon. But I’m still new to the fediverse and getting used to the decentralized nature of all this.

This is also my first comment on Lemmy, hopefully of many more!
