Here in Mexico and some parts of LATAM we celebrate Día de los Reyes Magos which is a recalling of the Three Kings visiting baby Jesus, bearing gifts on Jan 6th.

Kids are also supposed to leave their shoes under the Xmas tree and in then when they wake up in the morning, there are some candies and sometimes gifts inside them.

We also cut a big, circular bread called "Rosca de Reyes" that has some small plastic baby Jesus inside, if you are cutting your slice and you get a baby Jesus, you have to buy the tamales for the Feb 2nd celebration, Día de la Candelaria.

While the plastic baby Jesus is supposed to be held with respect because catholicism and stuff, a lot of kids normally throw it away, play with it or sometimes burn it, sometimes you are cutting your slice and you "accidentally" cut thru it too.

Moms and grandmas have a chancla nearby for enforcing peace.

I noticed this as well, can't see much new content and there's usually very little interaction. Looks like it's time to yeet myself back to Instagram

No problems on my end

There is quite a lot of organic interactions in most subs although some big subs and niche subs have Astroturfers

A British software firm, Threads Software Limited, has given Meta a 30-day ultimatum to cease using the name "Threads" in the UK, citing ownership of the trademark.

So it's just a threat with no actual value or feasible legal repercussions?

First time I hear about that! Haven't talked with my Colombian friends in a while, but regions are indeed getting stronger differences every day although it is mostly with the marked s, c, g, h, j, r sounds, rarely with the vowels.

Anecdotally, I've never met a spanish speaker from any country (Colombia included) that pronounces the "e" as "ey" though, so it's interesting to think how that can happen. For context, tv and people in general use that pronunciation to mock (in a satirical way) English speakers trying to speak Spanish.

It looks like there might be a slight misunderstanding, "e" is pronounced as the e in "metal", "test", "wrench".

We do not use a different sound for it, and it does not rhyme with hey at all :D

Adding the H to some of these letters wouldn't give the right sound for native english speakers

I think the only one that could be tricky would be the "uh" since it could be confused with the interjection "uhhh", but as you mentioned, it is indeed pronounced as "oo".

Divinity 2 with only 3 characters on Honor Mode is pretty fun too

Lego Fortnite (Minecraft) is super good and their Guitar Hero clone is also pretty decent for groups

I'll try to get at least 10 but I also want to try some audiobooks.

Lately I've been re-reading Asimov books and it's been enjoyable but I would also like to read new things too.
