I love VPNs for this … I get to see advertising from around the world … Japanese noodles, Nordic furniture, some weird German food, Turkish real estate, Australian drinks … and all of it delivered in languages I don’t understand.
Hey, speaking of VPNs, why does Lemmy not let me post anything or even comments when I’m on my VPN? As soon as I turn off my VPN, Lemmy lets me participate again. 🤔
November 2023 I tried getting into a million different instances and dot world is the only one that wouldn’t buffer in silence forever and actually sent me a verification email. Radio silence from every other instance. Please tell me everyone’s magic secrets for getting into other instances.
You don’t even have to do that to get served foreign ads. If you search on country specific search sites long enough, it’ll eventually bleed over to your native feed.

Because you’re on lemmy.world. I don’t have that problem with my server unless I’m using a crappy VPN that’s really slow

I do sometimes wonder what the ads say but like you I can’t be bothered to learn Australian.
It’s not hard … you just turn the monitor upside down and you can translate everything.
