Took a second longer than necessary, then I groaned.
I didn’t get it until I read your comment 🤦♂️
Cade to enlighten me? I’m still lost.
Hailstorm, sir.
Hail, emax_gomax
Ah, I’m a moron. Cheers
Me too, thanks.
I had more of a “Waka, Waka” response
This time for Africa!
Somehow Caesar misheard “grando” as “ave”, since they’re of course speaking Latin and not English.
If you look closely it turns out they’re not real Romans at all, just drawings!
I thought they seemed sketchy.
Ce ne sont pas des Romains.
Romanes eunt domus
People called Romanes they go the house?
I think he tried using a dictionary or translation tool, and failed to consider that “eunt” is the indicative form of “eō”/“īre” (to go) and not the imperative form. So he’s stating that Romans go home (with extraordinarily poor grammar, mind you), when he probably means to tell Romans to go home (“Romani ite domum!”)
Edit: Apparently this is a Life of Brian reference. I am a fool

It’s like in American shows, they just speak English with a foreign accent (potentially unrelated to the location).
It’s reasonable to assume that the characters are speaking their native language and it’s being translated for our benefit, but it becomes weird when they use idioms or puns in English that don’t exist in those languages.
perhaps… and hear me out… it’s so that people can understand and enjoy the show?
u may love subtitles, but not everyone does
More like because finding english speaking actors is a lot easier in an english speaking country, and also the writer likely doesn’t speak every language that would be relevant. Plenty of countries don’t get dubs of movies or series and people can still understand and enjoy them just fine. Though it probably increases appeal or there just wouldn’t br dubs.
I don’t particularly love them, but subtitles are just part of daily life in any non-English speaking countries given the amount of English speaking media being produced, so most of the world are used to them.
I think quite a lot of English natives also use subtitles on English media because of sound mixing or sound system issues that make dialogues hard to hear.Anyways, it’s just a little jest, if you enjoy this trope, I am happy for you.

Subtitles?
u may love subtitles, but not everyone does
Ah, so it’s not about understanding
many people find it difficult to read subtitles fast enough, due to poor eyesight, dyslexia, poor education, developmental issues, the list goes on. its a little ableist to be so pretentious about your preference for subtitles.
for the record: i personally do not mind subtitles; i just know that there are people less advantaged than me. embrace choice.
Oh hell yes I’m all for subtitle supremacy, with everything that comes with it. Including final solution to the dyslexic question
It is for slow readers.
Those must be slow snail ass readers
Ave, true to Caesar.
Oh hail no.
He’s not wearing purple though.
Only for ceremonies. Purple costs a snail snot ton of money.
Not Caesar though.
He was wearing it all the time before he was assassinated as the senate had allowed him to do so. This was after the 5th triumph when they dumped a lot of other titles on him. The picture has the laurels in it, which is also typically just for ceremonies, so he should also be in a purple toga.
I’ve thought about the roman empire once today so far.
Punctuation is everything. Didn’t get it at first…
I’m getting strong “Who’s on First?” vibes from that comic.
Is this a new thing that people include a CC anti AI license in their posts and comments? Would be pretty cool if it could be integrated in a smoother way as like a post property.
Yes, it’s the new “I do not consent to Facebook using my data”.
Not too be confused with copyleft and wtfpl.

Dear astroturfers, are we going to do this each and every day?
Yes, every single person on Lemmy has read that post.

Good. Then it doesn’t need to be discussed anymore elsewhere.
Yeah, I’ve blown pass accepting sarcasm, and gone straight to not taking other people’s crap anymore.
That still doesn’t help, dude its annoying af and what the original commenter said is right. No actual bot will give a shit if you add a link pretending your comment has any weight.

ProPublica seems to disagree with you.
Your link had nothing to do with ProPublica, and you’re right. Thank you, you add nothing to the discussion usually anyway, except the horrendous long and customized blue link. Thank you for the simple solution.

Well, if its ok/works for ProPublica, then that’s enough for me. 🤷

That’s a big “if” on if it works. So wouldn’t go around saying it works. Just that someone else is doing it too.

Oh I’m using English properly, in the way I phrased it.
And if they, and their lawyers, believe it works, that’s good enough for me.
Here’s a comment saying it’s useless from a different thread linked by a parallel comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/9817207

The thing is, I’m licensing each one of my comments, so each comment needs to have it displayed and readable via link.
Oh nvm it actually looks nice on desktop, Thunder (mobile client) just displays it in a weird way that shows the custom text and the full URL.

There’s an outstanding issue with mobile / phone clients where they’re not supporting subscript and superscript fonts correctly. (I use the Lemmy.World’s web client.)
You should contact the Thunder client devs and ask them to fix that. You can pass on to them this link which is Lemmy.World’s instructions on how to format text.
Hey, I’d like to license your comment, how much?
