I might be missing some context here.

Do you not have a kinoplex?

It seems so

It's German for "cinema". No idea, if that's the context, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure it's the right context, because it fits. Odd story, but it fits

“Kino”, from the Greek “kine”(to move), is Internet slang for a motion picture. In particular, it is used to denote works with special artistic merit. The word is also used to describe events and art bearing a cinematic quality either in concept or execution.

Internet slang is a lot like German.

Is that what 4channers mean when they call anything else kino? I shouldn't have asked this in a thread about a fake movie theater

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it basically means “thing that is novel/bold/stylish enough to not look out of place in an art film”.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

On 4chan it's slang for "awesome"

eating -> dining

cinema -> kino

I absolutely read this in Elijah Wood's voice telling about any normal day he has and that's what I'm sticking with.

What a whimsical tale

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I read all of this, but I feel like I didn't. What did you do to me?
