Why does the flag have no stars?

Which continent is America? I only know of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.

The name may be really stupid, but America is the name used to reference the United States and is recognized by hundreds of millions if not billions of people. North America: continent. South America: continent. The Americas: 2 continents. America: 1 country. Just because it's dumb doesn't make it not true.

Choosing the price per-customer like that should be illegal.

Here's a Wikipedia article on the subject. Nazis still exist today (as neo-Nazis) and they desperately want hating them to be a matter of political opinion instead of a matter of humanity. Don't give them that.

Interrobangs always make it look like the text renderer is bugging out, at least to me.

Don't you know that adding your pronouns to an email costs an entire 6-10 bytes? There are children starving in Africa and you're wasting your bytes on pronouns! Shame on you.

Pronouns are optional. Nobody is forcing you to list them.

I don't think hating Nazis should be considered a political statement.

Nobody mentioned that specifically, actually. That does add more context.

Ohh, thanks. I can see why that would cause a lot of anger.

I've noticed that lemmy.world is delisted from most instance lists, so it's interesting that they'd choose that one. Thank you for the answer!

 

Sidebar doesn't say why, but it does say I have to post, so I guess I'm posting to ask why!
