Sounds fair

I wonder what exactly makes it okay for animals, but not for humans, though
- Comment on But think of the landlords! 1 week ago:
I don’t think the point is about present.
More like, “back when these things were built, government had to build the most resource-efficient and mass-constructed housing, responding to a surge in demand for urban living due to industrialization”
It was either this or leaving people without any place to live.
Sure, modern situation is different, and we can have nicer homes.
- Comment on But think of the landlords! 1 week ago:
I live in Russia nearly all my life, and I can tell it really is a matter of proper maintancnce. Many cities do a very poor job keeping these buildings in a good shape, but when they do, it looks fairly good.
Not to mention European neighbors where they are still common, but due maintenance makes them look actually good.
The sound issues are fair, but there are ways to limit them.

Moving to a countryside can give you both decent enough isolation and teach you to reconnect with others in a more healthy way
- Comment on But think of the landlords! 1 week ago:
Also part of why it looks depressing is because it’s old and poorly maintained.
Just a touch of renovation and the houses start looking way better: 1000103747 1000103748
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 1 week ago:
Crusts like this generally require a lot of steam in the oven
Fair enough!
And shaping/forming a loaf that stays tall when being baked on a flat surface takes skill, lots of practice and experience.
Or a fairly inexpensive machine that will do it for you. Of course though, there’s a special pleasure in making a truly artisan bread with your own hands. But hey, it’s not that hard if you know what you’re doing. Best to see it in action.

When you post from standard Lemmy interface and add a picture, it adds it as a link that may overwrite the URL you have entered. Annoying, but it is what it is.
Add a picture first, and then replace the URL with what you link to.
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 1 week ago:
Lol, yes, it can be done, but it needs to be packed, otherwise it will likely fall apart.
(Also it’s an ungodly abomination and there are certainly better options to do this with)
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 1 week ago:
Baking in a rectangular shape allows you to make a space efficient bread that you can easily stack and transport.
Making bread on a flat surface allows you to minimize costs of entry (not only don’t you need the forms which are relatively cheap, you can go with simpler/cheaper ovens), and this kind of bread has a more pronounced crust, which many people like.
Also, rectangular bread is harder to leaven for a long period of time as it comes with numerous technological complications down the production line. This affects the aroma composition, making rectangular bread less attractive for those who want the traditional “bread” taste.
Baguette, as I already mentioned, has a unique crust and crumb texture defined by the shape and baking conditions. Many people like it that way.
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 1 week ago:
ELI5: it depends on how you shape it.
You can load the dough into a metallic shape and close it with a lid, and you’ll get picture 1.
Or you can make a ball out of it and leave it be on a flat surface, and it will naturally expand to look like picture 2.
Side question: narrow shape makes baguette have a more crispy texture, which many people like. It’s also usually produced using a special kind of sourdough, which makes it have unique and rich taste. People eat it as is (just biting it from one end to another) or make small open sandwiches by cutting it in slices and putting all sorts of toppings on top of them.
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 1 week ago:
Beautiful answer!
A small point from someone working alongside bread industry - small bubbles in toast/sandwich bread are not due to the type of yeast used, but due to intentionally low time for second stage mixing and, as you mentioned, low time for resting and leavening. You can absolutely create huge bubbles using the very same yeast, though, if that’s your goal.

It’s also not a cube!

- Comment on The holy journey 1 week ago:
Everyone talks about the drug part, but not the rest. So, filling in on this one.
The black thing right there is The Kaaba, the holiest place of Muslims. People on the background are completing Ṭawāf - holy pilgrimage to The Kaaba, which ends in going around it seven times in a counter -clockwise direction.
People there normally wear special clothes and chant holy phrases as they go around. For Muslims, it’s a very serious and spiritual event.
The dude poses in a way that says “hey, I’m gonna get spiritual with THIS” while completely disregarding every rule about being there.
(Muslims and other knowledgeable folks are welcome to correct me)

- Comment on Brand new bag 1 week ago:
I just never stopped using them since childhood. Why would I give up on it? It’s ergonomic, keeps your hands free and unloaded, doesn’t press against your neck like shoulder bags do, and is very hard for someone malicious to take off you.
The only downsides I can see is that I cannot keep it in sight, meaning I should mind my surroundings not to hit anyone, and it can also be opened without me noticing (although Bobby bags solve this in particular).
- Comment on RetroDECK 0.10.0b Is a Ground-Up Rewrite, Not Just an Update 2 weeks ago:
Most people don’t care as long as it’s not 100 GiB
The ease of installation, management, and removal is a higher priority for most. Hence, Flatpak is superior for an average Joe.
Doesn’t hurt to use native options if you like them.
- Comment on Are you people all bots? 2 weeks ago:
Here on Lemmy I assume folks to be human unless proven otherwise beyond reasonable doubt.
It’s worth remembering Lemmy is so small that pushing bots just makes little practical sense. You’ll have better luck sharing propaganda on any of the subreddits with a population higher than this entire place.

As a third party to the discussion, I don’t think “women” is the key part of it. “Customers” would do the same, but since we’re discussion womens’ clothes, it was changed to “women”.
Whenever anything bad is discussed and the word “women” is around, alarms go off too easily.

One of the core policies of Wikipedia, remaining from its inception, is neutrality.

This fully applies to describing international conflicts and wars. If you find Wikipedia biased, there are two things you can do:
- Collect credible evidence, and suggest edits
- Check if you are biased yourself

The classic ones are “шиншилла” and “лишишься”, although the latter could be extended to “лишившийся”. 11 u’s for the latter, if my calcultations are correct.

You were telling about cultures worth preserving - and by your definition, most of the cultures you list were not worth preserving and should have become extinct. Good thing that they were preserved even through the worst of times.
- Comment on Is it a bad idea to learn Russian because of everything? 1 month ago:
About half of these countries were militaristic authoritarianist shitholes, some even not that long ago by historical measures.
Yet, all these cultures have proliferated, and you consider them worthy of studying. Same idea here. Give it time.
