Exactly what I’m saying! “freeze drying” sounds like a way more involved process than something that just happens on its own if you do nothing.
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 5 hours ago:
It’s really not that hard to cook it all the way through, I’d assume they did that anyway with any meat. It’s not smart to eat meat “rare” when you don’t have fridges and the animals might have any number of bacterial or viral diseases. On top of that, wild birds can also carry salmonella, I’d assume humans figured out how to eat wild birds long before they encountered chicken.

You mean “leave a pile of taters out in the open over night”?

Brown rice isn’t polished, though, right?
- Comment on Why in hospitals, is 'gun shot wound' appreciated as "GSW"- 9 hours ago:
Abbreviations aren’t just used to make a word quicker to say or write, but also to obfuscate.
- Comment on Is it normal to, as a depressed person, be very emotionally attached to a subculture whose members have saved my life and offered me emotional support even though I was a complete stranger to them? 16 hours ago:
People get emotionally attached to subcultures for much less (though that usually means that they’ll join that subculture, if that’s possible). Sounds to me like it would only really be an issue if the subculture in question was something like criminal biker gangs or neo-nazis.

Are we still pretending that the USA still has a functioning democratic process (as defined by its constitution)?

I wish that progress didn’t reset every day.

Bigger than porride or other normal food made from the same amount of ingredients?
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 18 hours ago:
Sure, but hunter-gatherers still have tons of free time. There are still people who live like that, people have observed and studied them.

Is this a dish that your parents made for you when you were a child?
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 18 hours ago:
I reckon that after inventing farming, people probably just had a lot more time on their hands,
AFAIK farming actually took a lot more work hours than hunting+gathering, it’s just less risky. But yeah, simple soaked or boiled grain is pretty boring compared to meat, berries and nuts.

Looks like east asians also figured out food earlier than europeans. So smart!
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 18 hours ago:
Chicken isn’t poisonous if you cook it directly after slaughtering, though, the raw meat just doesn’t keep well. Humans figured out fire a long time ago.

You don’t need a lot of fruit to not get scurvy, though. I bet even just the boiled potatoes have enough vitamin C left to keep it away.

Dude, I AM German. All bread I’ve ever seen in Germany is leavened.

Sake is basically the same thing as beer (fermented starch), I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t be possible to brew a weaker sake.
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 1 day ago:
Preparing a meal is a super involved process, but getting the acorns should be extremely easy compared to farming grain.
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 1 day ago:
That … doesn’t sound like bread to me.
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 1 day ago:
Boiled wheat is perfectly edible, actually.
- Comment on Non-Americans: what would you do in a situation where a foreign country run by a extremist dictator began producing nukes? 1 day ago:
IIRC he also saluted one NK’s general, which was a breach of protocol and overall rather uncharacteristic of him.
- Comment on If I go crazy will you still call me Superman? 1 day ago:
You could even argue that throwing rocks is the human superpower.
- Comment on If I go crazy will you still call me Superman? 1 day ago:
Most dudes are weak against any rock. Rocks are very good at inducing skull fractures if you’re not Superman, and stone knives were a thing, too. There’s a reason why stone tools were popular for literally millions of years.
- Comment on Non-Americans: what would you do in a situation where a foreign country run by a extremist dictator began producing nukes? 1 day ago:
I mean, Trump barely even bothered to justify what they did in Venezuela. It’s pretty much completely naked imperialism.
The “they have nukes and are going to leverage them against us in some way” thing sounds more like the 2003-era justifications where they actually put some effort into it.
And what does “leverage” mean? If it just means that they use it to defy my country’s imperial ambitions, what I should do about that is to go fuck myself.
- Comment on Beer is for GIRLS 2 days ago:
Rye kernels and rye bread, sure, but not rye spirit. Bitter aromas generally don’t make it through the distillation process. Rye spirit does have a lot of oak tannins, but it shares that property with bourbon. I would agree that bourbon tastes somewhat “sweeter” than rye, but it’s a subtle difference.
Also, rye is a grain, not a herb.

I mean, pantyhose is pretty flexible, you can relatively easily rip it apart (though the pantyhose wearer might not be pleased about that) and most woman wear panties anyway, pantyhose can’t be that much harder to pull down than panties.
- Comment on Beer is for GIRLS 2 days ago:
But rye doesn’t have any bitter herbs …
- Comment on Beer is for GIRLS 2 days ago:
I wish it was bread-flavored. Bread doesn’t usually taste like bitter herbs.

What did pantyhose do for fingerfucking? I don’t get it …
