A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

(The original is in swedish, so this is obviously translated)
Let’s see said the blind man to the deaf man
Argentinian here, I've heard that one too, it sounds better in Spanish (as I presume happens in Swedish). "Veremos", le dijo el ciego al sordo.
"I see said the blind man to the dead dog" is what I've always heard. Definitely a fave
In English, we have something similar:
"'I see,' said the blind man to his deaf friend."
Isn't the next line usually: "And then he picked up his hammer and saw"
Thr one I've always heard is: "I see", said the blind man with a hammer and saw.
That's likely incomplete because the relatives I always heard it from...are not paragons of higher education, or scondary, or primary for that matter.
