          Ah, but in my language (German) it says “Ersteller”, which merely means “producer”. A divine creator would be called “Schöpfer” which Germans exclusively use for creators that create rather magnificient or special things. Like art. Or universes. :)

            Hm, so you’re saying the universe might be German? That explains it: it’s over-engineered, over-rated, yet unreliable and full of bad ideas.

              Actually, quite the opposite - I’m pointing out that the German language is better at making the distinction between a true act of creation and something as trivial as writing a comment on Lemmy.

                So do we, creator vs Creator. But since there’s no such thing as a god or “Creator”, it’s really irrelevant.

                Can we talk about your shitty cars now?

                  It’d sure be interesting to hear how you can pronounce capitalized words. Works in Terry Pratchett’s discworld novels, not sure how you pull that one off though.

                  Also, I never built a car. Sorry.
