  First time I’ve ever heard this one… not Austria or Germany?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Retro StarCraft prizes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People treat it like an investment because they don’t understand how it actually works.

  People treat it as an investment because it has historically grown in value at a rapid pace. It literally couldn’t matter less “how it actually works.” What matters is the likelihood that its value will increase.

  They get a whole 3/5 of their wages!

  So tired of hearing this dumb fuck argument. Ordering food =/= fastfood. The amount of people that seem to think their little bit of homecooking can compete with professional chef’s is laughable.

  Oh, honey. That “healthy” restaurant you order from isn’t actually healthy. They are poisoning you with fat, salt, and sugar, and that’s what you think food is supposed to taste like. All you’re eating is dopamine, nothing actually good for your body.

  When I make baked potatoes at home I usually use 2 of the biggest potatoes I can find. Per person that is. Then I use Quark with 40% fat, mix in some cream, at least a teaspoon of salt, green onion and some frozen herbs.

  I will always remember a conversation I had with a chef friend… he said something along the lines of “Of course restaurant food tastes better… take the butter you’d add, then double it. Then double it. Then double it again. Then add some cream.”

  You are vastly underestimating how unhealthy restaurant food is for you - even the “healthy” places are ridiculous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone explain why?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen the opposite, and when I got my physical my doctor definitely supported that everyone has been drinking a lot more than previous. I’d say my use ticked down during lockdown but up afterwards 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people eat this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally any meat in a pan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't my phone put all of my apps to "sleep" by default?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually connectivity reasons. If an app is asleep, it can’t receive or send notifications, so there would be absolutely no “background” tasks or receiving messages, etc.

  Some of that is for data theft reasons, like someone else stated, but definitely not all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨who's gonna tell him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t grok also have a standalone app? US politicians just explicitly and vocally support child porn, these days.

  Don’t forget that while this is all happening, Tim Sweeney (Epic CEO) is actively defending child porn on X.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 sales stumble over Christmas⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. I hope they choke on their new pricing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal for a simmer to not produce any bubbles?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My immediate guess is that the measurement is off (measuring pot temp instead of water temp, perhaps) or you’re at a really low elevation or there’s weirdly high air pressure? The former is far more likely than the latter, usually people only experience water boiling sooner than expected due to high elevation. It should absolutely be simmering at 203

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tankie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t trust a single ICE or DHS agent to do the right thing in this situation. We have proof of at least one Chinese tank crew doing so.

  How do you define “better”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(TW) Phishing mail in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s literally in the title of the post

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this even a question?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To be clear, I took that as her comparing two different Waffle Houses and the one with the race war was less dramatic than the other

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truth⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like mine’s the opposite… the first side is perfect and then I overcook the second because the pan got hotter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unquestionably high class⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t even eat lobster in Iowa, let alone pay that much for it. Where do people think the lobster is coming from?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i can't handle coffee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  four shots

  little coffee

  Uh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to the thunderdome?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t the French escale also stem from the latin scala at some point?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks legit. What do you all think?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That car is also casting a shadow from the flood light behind the van. The perspective works fine, nothing is wrong with the shadows. For the cars behind, they’re affected by multiple floodlights, not just one, explaining why they have both the soft and dark shadows

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks legit. What do you all think?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …you’re joking, right? The shadow is from the flood light directly behind the van, the shadows all line up perfectly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks legit. What do you all think?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be financially irresponsible not to check…

  And just to be clear, they didn’t cancel the show, he chose to end it because he didn’t want to repeat/milk it. His job was done, he got 'em all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And, let’s be real - they often go hand-in-hand, anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not gonna believe this, but most chemists never touch electronics. “Nerdy” is a really, really, really wide category.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just want to play a game...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They warn you and still five you the option to buy it if it’s not a deal breaker. Let’s stop making everything more authoritarian, yeah?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tencent ‘Horizon clone’ pulled from stores as Sony settles lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Companies shouldn’t own concepts, fuck Sony.

  Yeah, that’s not what happened here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This bedroom game is weird⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is gonna surprise you, but Nazis were a really large group full of lots of different people with different values and ideals. What unified them was their support and defense of the Nazi party.

  You have spent every comment in this thread defending Nazis.

  These are just simple facts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Y’know they sell honey in squeezable bottles like ketchup and other condiments, right?

  [Citation needed]

  Sure, they exist, but it’s really hard to find real honey in a squeeze bottle. And it would probably suck, real honey is far thicker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never had any problems wiping my ass, either, but that doesn’t mean a bidet is a bad idea 🤷‍♂️
