  Yeah, but not enough to be sticky, right?
  Or maybe I have been adding too much water?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Name it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  stick in a stew

  I don’t understand how one is able to make a stew sticky enough, though.
  Isn’t it usually watery?

  Tic Tac Toe

  After every game, you can then take a thin slice off the top and you get a fresh surface for another game.

  So is Viagra legal during sports, or do they have to get surgery?

  Is the shoe showing the scale of the map or is the map showing the scale of the shoe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Porca miseria!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You show me the picture of a shoe (with a map in the background) and ask if it looks like a boot.
  Well, it looks like a shoe. Also, why have you placed it on a map?

  What about herbivorous humans :P

  Yeah, despite the older traditions, it is nowadays not recommended to shit directly in the crop area. And turns out traditions of a time only work at that time and place, which might depend upon other, seemingly unrelated traditions.

  But it would still be better off under the soil than on a paved street.

  I guess I understand another reason for that in China. Because most of them ate some sort of meat, shitting in the fields might have ended up being a bad practice.
  But still, what’s up with shitting on the streets?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan cancels cherry blossom festival over complaints of tourists littering and ‘defecating’ in yards⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Most probably they did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but my point is that ChatGPT clearly has a high level of education.
  Where education refers to training someone to take in a lot of data and spew out similar data based on it.

  I was saving it for you.

  I am in India. I know people that live in farm areas or have lived there in their childhood (farmer relatives).
  I’m pretty sure their culture is older than just 320 years, but they didn’t go around defecating on or next to the streets, which I can say because the streets were not full of human shit. Although there would be the occasional dog shit and then large piles of sun-dried cow shit (which would also be much farther away from the streets).

  Any civilisation that survives through enough disease outbreaks would have at least a rudimentary understanding of environmental cleanliness. If people are dirtying places despite that, then I consider that a reflection of accumulated malice.

  Although the map seems wrong altogether, simply because you will find different areas in the same country having different ways, this is one part that makes quite a bit of difference.
  More urban areas might have a shoes on culture, specially depending upon how the room is designed.

  I mean there are schools having outdoor and indoor shoes, both of which are proper shoes, so going just by the word meaning would make it wrong too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man posts his incorrect opinion online⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan cancels cherry blossom festival over complaints of tourists littering and ‘defecating’ in yards⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It still feels weird though.
  Farm peasants over here, know to shit in farm areas where it would actually serve as manure, rather than right next to the street.
  I would also assume they actually dig before and cover later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan cancels cherry blossom festival over complaints of tourists littering and ‘defecating’ in yards⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  err… to “shit” of course.?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man posts his incorrect opinion online⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but now I’m not wearing slippers either so…
  Is it really the same!?

  And what of those cases when I go barefoot?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man posts his incorrect opinion online⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Shoes off inside the house is only really useful when one has shoes on, when outside.
  Get your dogs some shoes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man posts his incorrect opinion online⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I switch to slippers when inside.
  What does that count as?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I would assume they rank the stuff by vote-count.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In this case, it really doesn’t have to do with education.

  a ton

  I think someone forgot to update the article

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pick up a 1lb bottle of water and drop it once a day, every day, for 50 days.
  You might be able to take a few days off, since you have more time remaining.

  Used it. Got yelled at.

  At this point, if you don’t feel comfortable to tell them why and the consequences of doing what they ask of you, then you might want to start finding another place, because the subsequent events are inevitable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Growing number of adults avoid booze, NHS survey suggests⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t care. It stinks from 10m away. I’m not pouring it into my mouth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Growing number of adults avoid booze, NHS survey suggests⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This explains the increasing attempts to popularise alcohol in children’s cartoons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Currency⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, and that’s why crypto is not catching up well.
  Kind of a chicken and egg thing.

  But in case of Gold and Silver, there had to be some initial driving factor for when it was first popularised (before people just started mentally defaulting to it).
  Even though archaeology suggests that there were some civilisations did use notational currency in times before the relatively modern, well known history, enough of them did go with Gold. And since this was during the time when long distance trade was way slower, I won’t consider the case of some single power influencing everyone else without any other driving force behind Gold itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Currency⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even so, in a scenario where all the currencies fall apart, Gold and Silver are very probable to become the basis of wealth.
  Nowadays, stuff like SiIicon and Copper are pretty high value (and similarly, Germanium), but they really depend a lot upon hard to measure purity which goes with high-technology.
  So Gold and Silver, which are easier to determine with lower technology (unless someone uses high-technology to spoof them) and also easier to make into useful products, will tend to hold intrinsic value.

  Value of iron and others, break down due to abundance, while steel depends upon technology and expertise.
