@ClintonAnderson That's surprising. Maybe these people translated an English term? Even on dedicated Dutch cycling forums "acoustic" is seen as odd (https://forumwereldfietser.nl/viewtopic.php?t=38280).

>If I say "acoustic bike" you have no trouble understanding exactly what I mean....
In the two years that I've occasionally asked in person not a single person (in Denmark and the Netherlands, cycling countries) actually understood what I meant. After explaining it multiple people pointed out how it is redundant.
Many people now use "acoustic bikes" to label bicycles without electric motor.
In that same line of thinking: should we start applying the same label to coffee without milk?

In Denmark it's so relatable to sit on a cow that "cheese bites" are advertised with this imagery.
Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague it came up that they have never sat on a cow. Like, not even once in their childhood.
Another colleague listening in admitted they also have never sat on a cow.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a cow.

Have you sat on a cow?
