How can you tell? I can imagine that sync would have actually done much of this

I am a very active commenter on reddit, and right now, sync for lemmy hust feels like reddit because it's pretty much the same. I couldn't really tell you, but it would make sense that many people now have a design they were accustomed to before.

But if this increase was mostly from sync, that would mean that an average sync user would have had to comment 100-200 comments every day since then, because it has just 10k downloads on google play, which probably is the major source for most of those, so you might be right

They make their own alcohol, duh

My family went to iceland 3 years ago and most of the friends they made in the countryside had selfmade hard liquor

Reddit exists to make money, so they definitely won

I don't know why people like you and me initially think it's spelled "Jeb-ora" when it's actually "Jer-boa"

No, Trump is the hail mary of the US ruling class. They are scared that the people just start ignoring the government and take power, so they give them demagogues

I torrent using my phone 99% of the time, so I try to get to a 2:1 if possible, but large files like tv shows that have upwars of 200 gb take up too much space, and I can't have multiple seasons downloaded at the same time, so I usually get them up to 1:1 and then download the next episodes

From the looks of her faces, I can see where food goes in, and where it comes out

simple already explained how you can do so, but I would encourage you to just directly donate to the creators you watch

A YouTuber makes about 6 dollars per 1000 views, so if you really care about a creator, give them a dollar per month if they aren't already rich.

The Chinese Calendar

The Chinese calendar year is the same length on average as the Gregorian year, because they have leap months.

The Chinese calendar follows a 60 year cycle of when leap monthd are inserted into the year.

A lunar month is 29 or 30 days long (because it's exactly 29.53 days from one new moon to the next) so a lunar 12 month year is just over 354 days long, which is almost 11 days short of the tropical year. To keep the calendar in sync with the solar year, every couple of years thirteenth month must be inserted into the year.

The year 2020 (4717 in the Chinese calendar) had a leap month between it's 4th and 5th regular month, and this year (4720) there was a leap month between the 2nd and 3rd month.

Generally, there are 22 leap months in a 60 year cycle.

This calendar would have an error of one month every 600 years

The Jewish calendar

The Hebrews have a similar system, inserting 7 leap months in a 19-year cycle (metonic cycle)

This one is even more accurate, drifting away one month only after more than 6000 years.

So these two calendars both have an average year length of 365.25 days, so your age in both of them is about the same as in the Gregorian calendar.

The Islamic Calendar

What you are looking for is the islamic calendar. It is purely lunar and doesn't have leap months. Every year is between 354 and 355 days long, meaning that after 33 years in the gregorian calendar, 34 Islamic years have passed. So no, this wouldn't make that much of a difference with the drinking age in the US, but you could get away with alcohol 8 months earlier that way. Of course, ignoring the fact that most Muslims that unironically use the islamic calendar for everything also don't drink
