RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

If the ingredient of whatever snacks/dessert you're making is mostly chocolate, only use couverture or don't even try. There's place for compound but not here.

The "phones are bad and suck your life away" crowd has gotten way too big. Yes, it's easy to waste time on them, but that's just something you gotta learn, like not watching TV series all night. You're a grown up, deal with it. Also maybe you feel bad for spending all that time on your phone just because feeling bad for that feels cool? It's actually your life you can spend it however you want. You don't need to be productive or successful to be a worthy human. Be a lazy shit that plays stupid phone games while on a train to work.

It doesn't matter which side you put the toilet paper in. I'm poly-dextrous and it is the way

Wrong. Under leaves a visual blind spot that is unnatural and would cause our ancient ancestors to create a new god based on eradicating it.

The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (not Sonic the Hedgehog/SatAM) cartoon 4 year old version of Tails is absolute peak Tails.

As a pretty big Tails fan, I really like this very childish Tails who has little to no filter when he speaks, sometimes.

Have yet to play forces, but I've seen the cutscene where Tails calls out for Sonic's help and I absolutely love it because it reminds me of that cartoon version of Tails who at times is just absolutely helpless and needs Sonic to come rescue him.

The contemporary disdain for postmodernism was a Psy op designed to completely destroy philosophy from the inside. And the supposed replacements for post modernism (metamodernism or whatever) were just pop culture millennial distractions that just took attention away from the philosophical issues of the inadequacies of language and crisis of our communications systems. We became stuck in limbo. Cultural conversation dumbed down by useless culture wars articulated in low attention span pop culture commentary and therapy speak.

Ketchup has no place in the world except to cover the taste of spoiled meat.

Especially in the US, a third of the bottle is sugar. Hot dogs? Put ball park mustard on it, the spices in the mustard complement the dog.

Ketchup is a fascist condiment. You start with a little, then it drowns out and dominates everything you put it on and all you’re left with is a sugary tomatoey bullshit taste in your mouth.
