What english speaking country has both 'high school' and trains?

Edit: ok turns out the twitter account is based in LA

We have both of these things in Canada.

England doesn't have high school, here it's secondary school and sixth form

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 54 minutes ago (1 children)

I went to a high school in England. We had first (1-4) middle (5-8) high school (9-11).

When/where was this? I thought the system I had in east anglia was standard across the country

[–] Thunderwolf@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

We haven't been known for trains in a while, but America

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

I guess he could have meant subway by train

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

American cities have limited local rail networks, at least some. Like New York and Boston and err, the other ones...

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 minute ago

Yup turns out the tweeter is in LA

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 points 57 minutes ago (1 children)

Chicago is fairly well known for having trains as well. That said, I've never lived somewhere in the U.S. where you wouldn't hear train horns at some point usually freight, but transport does happen as well. Dropped someone off at the train station in Nashville so they could go visit family in Michigan a little while back

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 minutes ago

Ahh I see, I guess it doesn't rule out the tweeter being American then

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

"And the rest.....here on Gilligans Island!!!"

[–] MacaqueAndCheese@lemmy.ca 76 points 6 hours ago (7 children)

My name used to be Rachel but they made it illegal in my country after the Friends finale so I had to change it to Dave. It doesn't really suit me but it's nice whenever I introduce myself people are like "wow. Dave, that's such a unique name". I've only ever met one other Dave in my life and he was a total loser like me so we hit it off pretty well and got married 6 days ago at a Asian grocery store in The Dominican Republic.

I hope I meet another Dave one day so I can marry him too. I've considered changing my name back to Rachel since it doesn't seem to be illegal anymore but you know that name just doesn't suit me as well as Dave.

This sounds like the kind of almost close-to-reality story an AI would tell

[–] totally_human_emdash_user@piefed.blahaj.zone 21 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

It makes me sad that we have reached a point where the very randomness that makes these kinds of stories charming (to someone with a twisted sense of humor like myself) also make them less likely to be coming from a human instead of more.

[–] suddenlyme@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 minutes ago

Yesterday we were having a conversatiion about how AI can only make mundane stories like Avatar.

The opposite of this.

But i feel both ae true.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 hours ago

Right, mhm, cause we all know you're totally human, right? aha, aha

[–] notabot@piefed.social 7 points 3 hours ago

I have a note against their user, "Absurdist". I don't know whether they're using an LLM to generate these, and, to be honest, I was somewhat iritated by them at first, but I've come to enjoy their occasional bouts of weirdness in random threads.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 10 points 5 hours ago

Pretty straight forward, really. It's a story as old as time.

kilogram-metre-squared per second cubed‽

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I don't believe you.

Dominican Republic doesn't have Asian grocery stores with enough space to host a wedding.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social -3 points 5 hours ago

That's what made it so special

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Should’ve went with Ashley instead.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Then she'd be Wario's girl.
