        Not necessarily the same thing. Footpath is a wider category that contains sidewalks as one element

          I can guarantee you that in my country and to a lesser degree my state as other states have different terminology, they are called footpaths. Sometimes they may be bikepaths (often distinctly separate) or shared paths. Where the tree is planted is a naturestrip if it’s between road and footpath.

          I do appreciate what you are saying but the joke was that Celsius and footpath were the replacements for the Americanisms. Whereabouts do you live? Did you just Americansplain me? (this is also a joke)

    My hometown had essentily zero shade for the sidewalks, if there was a sidewalk. Unless you could afford a house in the nicer neighbourhoods. Nicer because the sidewalks were shaded by old trees, not that the houses were better at all, in fact they were often worse.

    I prefer my memes to inspire engagement based on content rather than misspellings that would make an elementary schooler blush.

    ETA: People on Lemmy like to think we’re so much more intelligent and aware than the rest of the internet. I think a lot of you should have never left Reddit.

      Honestly sounds like you never should have left Reddit. What’s the point of this comment at all? What do you really expect to happen by being an ass for no reason?

        What “point” does any comment serve? I had something to say about the post, and I said it. Am I obligated to appreciate low effort trash in order to have an opinion about it?

        It’s just engagement bait - at least on platforms where engagement matters. But I guess even on Lemmy we have to cater to the lowest common denominators.
