Canadian couples only have sex doggy-style, so they can both watch the hockey game.

As an added bonus, I can also use my wife’s lower back to rest my poutine. She says it provides a nice warming sensation.

Right next to China, Pakistan and Bangladesh. If you head West from North Korea, just take a left after Mongolia!

Same in Germany, and, for much larger areas, Saarlands are used as a comparison

Because saying “A square 14m x 14m” is too confusing somehow… I hate when they do it for huge surfaces though, like for forest fires as people don’t comprehend big numbers like “100 000 football fields”, but they sure can understand that 100km is a long distance so a 100km x 100km square is fucking huge.

standard North-American sized

Can we please standardize handling of dashes in multi-word adverb-adjective phrases?

Option 1: North American-sized (most common)
Option 2: North-American sized (as seen in the article)
Option 3: North-American-sized (makes most sense to me)
Option 4: North American sized (Edit: added based on @robocall@lemmy.world’s comment)

None of them need dashes. I guess two is my favorite if I have to have a dash.

There is a standard, compound modifiers preceding the noun. There are also exceptions, proper nouns and their transformations don’t get hyphenated.
