The swabian dish Maultaschen are also called Herrgottsbescheißerle (Herrgott = Lord/God, bescheißen = to scam/fool someone) in dialect. Its cooked pork and vegetables wraped in pasta dough.
The legend behind the name is that they could be eaten during lent because the omnipotent and omniscient God couldn’t see the meat inside.
- Comment on Anon questions nature 1 day ago:
Naturally. As are pigs that drowned.
And of course meat wrapped in dough is also not meat because god can’t see it.
- Comment on Anon questions nature 2 days ago:
Fish is not meat for people that eat meat and want to live “vegetarian” for a time because their invisible friend in the sky told them to.
To everyone that’s actually vegetarian/vegan they are absolutely meat.

And if he does … why? What does he do with it? As the single existence in the universe before genesis. Its a sexual organ. Who/what does he have sex with? Does god masturbate all day?
- Comment on Durian supremacy 2 weeks ago:
Its a meme, chill. And durian “withstands” that insane heat because … it doesn’t. It burns and chars and that layer of carbon is a great insulater so the inner part of the fruit stays cooler for far far far longer than the inside of a steal ball of the same size would.

I think the point is in this case “military grade” and “everyday consumer grade” are identical

I dont think its meant as “90% of games that exist came out this year” and more of “90% of games that came out this year are not part of a preexisting series”. Its more a statement on final fantasy 27, fifa 2041 and call of duty ancient space warfare
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I dont think that is odd actually. Food just does not have a high status on your side of the family. It is something you do to avoid dying and not something you do to enjoy.
When you make them nice food it is just the same as the bad food on the “gives me nutients” scale. The taste/enjoyment scale is never used to rate your food.
- Comment on Replication crisis, my arse 2 months ago:
I dont think that works. If i try the 5 ingredient set and get sick, i gained no information about ingrediences 6,7,8,9,10. If next i try set 3 and get sick, i have made 2 tries and still have 0 information. If ingrediente 1 makes me sick i will need log(n) tries until i try the set that only contains ingredient 1. After that i have only one point of information because everything i tried so far was tainted by ingrediente 1. I have to try everything again.
Anytime you get sick you gain no information. If you are very lucky and ingedient 1-x are all harmless, then you will eliminate multiple at once. But if 1 is harmless, 2 makes you sick, and the next 1000 ingredients are harmelss you will still have to try log(1002) times to eliminate ingredient 2 and then you know nothing about 3-1003.

A Binary search requires a ordered data set. Something like "if you react to X, you will also react to any X+1, X+2… X+n. Food is not ordered, you cant know if you react badly to bell peper because you reacted badly to whole grain wheat.

So all of these posters and posts about posters and websites are all just a viral marketing campaign for this band?
At least it is entertaining

There exist only 14 different calendars.
Jan 1= monday, Jan 1 = tuesday, …, Jan 1= sunday, and again the same 7 combinations for leap years.
There is a difference for hollidays like easter that are based on the moon cycle, but just from the days of the week its only 14.
- Comment on Stay under the speed limit, guys. It's not worth it. 4 months ago:
The math might be correct it just doesn’t reflect what it says. Its 20min saved compared to going all of the roads at the speed limit all the time.
So every time you slow down (because of trafic, a red light, a crossroads or for any other reason) the app will calculate you as going slower and “loosing” time. Of course you couldn’t actually have gone the speed limit in those situations but the app can’t know that. It actually can’t calculate the time you saved.
But I can’t find the app on fdrois so I can’t check.
- Comment on Trying to activate a new BT account 4 months ago:
Because somewhere on their side they have a synchronization process that runs periodically every 10 minutes. If you click the link directly some of your information will be sent to a system that doesn’t yet know the link has been sent because it wasn’t synchronized.
Complete failure of design but from an IT standpoint it is understandable.

Love the series and especially this interview. The “how do you know so much about vegetables? Have you got an allotment?” is just so fucking smart.

For smaller (indie) studios it can make sense. If the game costs more money to developed than the developer has, preordering is indistinguishable from crowdsourcing like kickstarter. It removes the need for the developer to take a loan and investors, possibly giving up creative freedom.
Anything backed by a (big-ish) publisher should never be preordered!
- Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories 5 months ago:
Lots of Germans defending German cuisine, so as another German: you are absolutely right!
Germany has some great food and some Germans love making good food but German culture is absolutely not about food. The food culture we have is a development of the last ~40 years. Traditional German food is supposed to make you sated so you can go back to the fields and work! And the go to the army and fight! And then go to the ruins and rebuild!
Tasty and awesome food? Yes! A culture that tells you it loves food? No!

- Comment on Woke up this morning pondering THIS question 5 months ago:
I seem to remember a similar story of a zoo where the beavers built a damm in a dry concrete room. They later found out the area was above a waterpipe and the beavers were just way more sensitive to the sound/vibrations.
Couldn’t find it with 1min of DDG so might be wrong

- Comment on Are all dinosaur fossils 'replicas'? 5 months ago:
Not sure if there are tar pits with dinosaur bones but there are bones (not petrified bones) of post-dinosaur megafauna like sabertooths in the La Break tar pit in Los Angeles. There probably exists a real dinosaur bone somewhere on the planet.
- Comment on Is it even feasebal to find 12 people who have not been screwed over by insurance for the Luigi trial? 5 months ago:
Both of those are screwed over by the healthcare system and the companies perpetrating it. If you cant afford healthcare or don’t understand it because it is to convoluted, that is a result of the policies of healthcare providers.

But yeah sytsem76 and valve are both american and valve is corporate. And around Lemmy you would think they are the only ones responsible for the Linux boom.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 5 months ago:
The verifier does not have the information which sites you use. That’s the point of the setup. All communication goes through you, never the site to the verifier directly. You only pass cryptographic values between them that does not include identifiable information (neither about you to the website, nor about the website to the verifier). The verifier knows who you are, the website knows that you are old enough. Nothing else.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 5 months ago:
There is no system in the world that can fully prevent an authorized user to grant access to an unauthorized user. Even with an all time on camera and screensharing I can still find ways to have someone else control my computer while I “authorize” the connection with my face in the camera
