    I am confused. This seems to be the same post. Your comment from 1 hour ago is the only one on the post from 4 days ago. Is this the… glitch in the matrix, or what do i not see?

      There’s a feature that allows the moderators to boost a recent post that seems interesting but didn’t get enough traction.

  My german isn't great, but what exactly is "Diatomaceenkunde?" I read Diatomaceen as 'diatomaceous' but 'Kunde' means something like client or customer[1], so I'm a little confused. [1]https://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/kunde https://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/kunde

    -kunde is the German equivalent to greek "-sophy" and corresponds to 'knowledge'. Geography is Erdkunde (as a school subject). Nowadays mostly used in pedagogic context (schools) or it can also sound old-fashioned.
