This is a popular claim but dubious and probably not true https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/40275/do-elephants-see-humans-the-same-way-humans-see-puppies

Excellent answer :)

I did play the original many, many years ago. I was thinking of trying it again recently…

Was wondering why !science_memes@mander.xyz images weren’t loading, seems like they’re stiffing you a bit.

Lemmy users try not to be insufferable when Windows is mentioned (Challenge) (Impossible)

In the US I think busses are generally associated with the bottom of society, so not the customer you want. Just my interpretation

Crusader Kings 3 is a grand strategy game that has some pantheon-related mechanics. e.g as a Hindu you can choose your personal God. There are mods that expand on this somewhat.

It’s not really the primary focus of the game though and doesn’t play a heavy role beyond additional stats.

This post would go down a lot differently in some corners of Lemmy, lol.

So hypothetically what would happen if you somehow ate this

The real, most simple answer is: you wouldn’t, at least not unless we shift into a world where there are significantly less languages.

Any world government would have to contend with the reality that the world is full of multiple languages. So a number of lingua francas would be chosen as the “official languages” - either the most spoken or the most politically important (probably one and the same).

The idea to create some sort of apolical, unproblematic just isn’t realistic. If it was, it would’ve already occurred on a mass scale. You could just as easily paint an artificial language in a negative light as you have with English: any artificial language would be taking up the place of a real, authentic language and imposing itself onto peoples who do not speak it (language imperialism of an artificial kind isn’t much better).

Besides, translators are only getting better and better and we already have a number of multi-national institutions that function fine despite the number of languages at play (e.g the EU).

There’s uh, lots more than 2. It’s similar to how there’s English English and Nigerian English, just dialectical differences - some more major than others.

Yup. Reality. No point using a hyper secure chat system if literally nobody you know is using it.
