It's really a shame that you're reducing your writing to the lowest common denominator

yeah

At times I've been considering using spoiler mechanics to write a "simple English" reply, followed by the actual answer, hidden for only the more discerning reader to uncover.

Meanwhile, "to vanish" has several synonyms, and it just happens some can be built following almost the same composition rules.

If you had a different nick, I'd ask you what in tarnation made you think that... but it's hard to take you seriously like this.

Well, it would come from "ver- schwind ~~-en~~ -ung", so the closest translation to English might be something like "for-dwindling"... but the English "for-" seems to have lost some of the versatility of the German "ver-", so the closest modern word that comes to mind is using the "shrink" meaning of "schwinden", and translate as "enshrinkening". Ultimately they'd all be synonyms.

"Feierverschwindungsgefühl"

Technically, that is a word in German, it means "feeling of celebration enshrinkening". Might not be very popular, but it follows the rules 😉

Beehaw: You should join our instance

Where does it say that?

This isn't Reddit/Meta/𝕏, they don't get paid for selling more ads. If you don't know why to join, then don't 🙂

Beehaw: We're defederating from two of the largest instances.

Is "largest" a good thing? Reddit is even larger, is that better?

Not all people want to be with all others all the time, smaller instances of like-minded people make it easier to pick your own crowds.

Low effort.

At least pick some real sounding ones, like "Przemysław Mądrzykowski", or something...

In puritanical societies, the moment your mind imagines sinning. The Romans used IIII instead of IV because it looked too much like "IVPITER", and you shall not use the main god's name in vain.

In sane societies, a "Photorealistic Drawing Of a Breast", is called "art"... and anyone thinking otherwise, a "pervert".
