I try to avoid using all these names and instead use the more generic names.

What do you use for zipper, super hero, and trampoline?

[-] blakcod@lemmy.ca 19 points 10 months ago

I too would like to know.

Fastener? Meta human? Bouncy springy thingy?

The German word for zipper is literally "tear/rip fastener" (Reißverschluss)

[-] blakcod@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

Because like everything straightforward and self explanatory is German. Love it!

From Wikipedia: A zipper, zip, fly, or zip fastener, formerly known as a clasp locker

Trampoline: The generic term for the trademarked trampoline was a rebound tumbler

I believe of someone ever asked me to use my Rebound Tumbler I'd be forced to punch them in the face.

XYCL (examine your clasp locker)

[-] JCreazy@midwest.social 5 points 10 months ago

Okay, maybe not all of them but honestly that's because I didn't know they were brand names

Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
