Generally the reason not to put knives in the dishwasher is because the mild abrasives used in some detergents, and more importantly the agitation which bonks them around, can both dull the edge (and damage the coating on the racks that prevents your dishwasher from rusting, if you have one that isn’t full plastic).

Reversible by the parent, I admit that was pretty unclear. Cartlidge damage like that will eventually close in many cases, but it can take years if it’s been left long enough. However the good news is that the surgery to correct it is incredibly minimal, so if you’re ever looking for that…!

An ear piercing is fully reversible, though.

Yeah, even in my so-shitty-sometimes-cows-wandered-in highschool we learned about this (and a whole lot more about Russian-american cooperation post space race.)

Both the US and Russia have spent my entire life cooperating on the most ambitious space endeavor the planet has (the ISS), why are we trying to create some kind of ideological wedge between the two countries? Don’t we have enough of those?

Oh, yeah. “American Cheese” (and other processed cheese) does technically have to be made from mostly cheese, which is a concerningly low bar for “cheese based consumable products” to fail to meet.

Not sure I understand, I’m sorry.

It super does though the specific characteristics vary depending on wheee it was extracted (iirc crude from the canadian oil sands is borderline explosive)

Ah, I was specifically talking about the meats - I did forget there were all the other traditional accouterments to American barbecue.

We did slip up a tiny bit by literally calling it “American cheese”. Slight strategic error on that one.

Isn’t that primarily a spanish invention? US has a culture built around it absolutely, but most places also incorporate it somehow. It’s not really an “american” food per se.
- Comment on The shrinkflation 1 week ago:
Honestly, I still don’t really know what “real” western food is.
French cuisine is the most classically famous example, but pretty much every western country has hundreds of years of it’s own extremely distinct culinary identity (ex: Germany, Spain, Italy, even the UK (despite the jokes)).
The US doesn’t exactly have it’s own unified thing but there are plenty of foods, and even a few entire genres of food, that are very closely tied to the american identity (Texmex is probably the most famous example). The most ‘stereotypically’ american food I can think of is probably hotdish which… I don’t actually recommend seeking out.

… This is like someone saying “Guys I thought American chocolate was awful, but have you tried this Hershey’s stuff?!? It’s so good!”

Okay?

They absolutely aren’t as widely reported; but not because of desensitization, it’s for the same reason suicides aren’t reported. Theres been studies showing it’s “contagious” and that reducing coverage helps suppress further occurences.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 week ago:
While the above poster is missing the particulars, this still is unprecedented - panama and the US were at war, and Noriega surrendered to US forces before being taken to the US. As far as I’m aware, brazen kidnapping like wuth Maduro really is a new low for the US.

While not a trans man, I have a great many friends that are - and all of them have really struggled with the social isolation men face. “It shouldn’t be like this” no shit dude, but this is unfortunately what you signed up for and it’s gonna be a fuck of a lot of work to fix it, welcome to the team.

Black tea refers to the degree of oxidation of the tea leaves - yellow, white and green teas all do the same thing. Similarly, white grapes are called that because they produce white (clear) liquid (though it’s clearly yellowish so who knows).
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 3 weeks ago:
I’ve found Rhodia is very inconsistent with their production quality (and I don’t love waxed papers), but for flip notebooks they can’t be beat.
For calligraphy, Tomoe River is a classic (even after the whole sanzen drama its still great paper), but I also really love Iroful, Canson Imagine 200gsm, and any of the Strathmore Mixed Media papers. It depends on the ink I’m using and the effect I’m going for, really, but if I had to pick one Iroful is probably the best all-round calligraphy paper (better shading than TR but with less impressive sheening)
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been into calligraphy for years now - it’s a wonderful hobby with anywhere between absolutely none (pseudocalligraphy with a pencil/bic) and a very low cost to entry (blackletter with a parallel pen) that I seriously encourage anyone to try out! Just be warned that it’s a gateway drug to the fountain pen hobby, which uh.

quickly becomes a not-cheap hobby. Good god. - Comment on Industrial Strength Shitpost 3 weeks ago:
