  “We’re a network of ethnic groups, kingdoms, confederacies, and warrior clans. We transcend even being ‘a’ culture. We are a legion of diverse groups. Our people arroved when this land was emoty, and have dominated it - half a continent - comfortably, for 15,000 generations.”

  “So, uh… What’s that big thing over there?”

  “Well, we found that creating massive, highly engineered earthworks helps us with both agricultural and security tasks.”

  “So, just mounds of dirt?”

  “Mou- What? No, these require years of planning, and -”

  “Mounds! Mounds! You’re all Mound People! Mound People! Mound People!”

  “Ugh…”

  You know all those pink and yellow suburban hells in Tim Burton movies?

  I’m just asking, it’s not relevant to the meme.

  I did watch it all, waiting for the huge plop-shart-fart combo. Reactions… Yeah, sure. Woman in the green didn’t hold back.

  Like… Is this fart paradoilia? Y’all seem convinced this is something huge and I’m seeing not seeing much.

  I heard a barely audible fart… Is that it? What time is it at?

  For 2 individuals, 2 units of something. If they might feel obliged to share with the office, then something divisible and all non-perishible.

  So 2 bottles of wine vs. a gift basket.

  For individuals: wine, gift cards, baked goods or something else that’s an artisinal good made by a professional and sealed. Maybe flowers if you think they might be into that.

  For anything likely to be shared with an office: candy or chocolate, fruit or gift basket, assorted baked goods (maybe arranged with a receptionist for their peace of mind).

  Butter is the caked on foundation. Cream the 12 coats of eyeliner. This is the perfect simile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, my objection is to the way they’re prepared in France, not the snails.

  I’ve had snails in Morocco and giant forest snails in Ghana. The big ones are delicious if they’re wild caught. If they’re farmed, they taste like the rotten lettuce they get fed.

  And the WWN was the same, good ol’ entertainment.

  There was an edition with Nixon in drag that was there worst Photoshop, it was clearly two photos pasted together. Hilarious! My mom thought it was the funniest thing she ever saw. But she never for a second thought it was real.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Branding and beans for breakfast. That’s why the English get the win here, which is also occasionally called a full Irish breakfast if there’s no Brits looking. Plus, the English hardly have any indigenous culinary variety or spices. Why else colonize with such a passion?

  And I’m actually very much ok with black pudding, that’s not the issue. I don’t like northern French cuisine because it’s just “how much butter and cream can we pump into this snail or these poor mushrooms or a potato that was fine all on its own? Can we drown this perfectly mediocre cut of beef in cream and butter to make it seem fancy?” I’m far more partial to living below the butter/olive oil border. Southern France on the sea is tolerable, they’re also below the border.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I left the 5% for pretzels, sausage, and Haribo gummies.

  And Italians also make bread, you’ll notice they’re not on the exclusion list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You ask who believed this stuff. But in 20 years people will look at the mainstream newspapers of today and ask the same question.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Woah now. Weekly World News was well-known by everyone as 100% laughable BS. Even people that think the moon landing was fake didn’t buy their stories.

  Really, who would ever believe all the things Bat Boy supposedly did? Made Forrest Gump seem lazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you all definitely have… 8 or maybe 9 edible things that aren’t beer or curry.

  All the same, I’d rather have a full English breakfast than 90% of French food and 98% of German food. Kidneys in cream, or raw pork crackers, or bread and cheese like they invented it or whatever.

  No, because Earth is flat, it’s easier for the neutrinos to make it through. But if they hit the stack of turtles, they bounce off the shells.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lawks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course! How else would they get a taste for it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lawks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun facts about the world wide web:

  • It’s actually spelled In✞ernet

  • In the song “He’s got the whole world in His hands,” verse 87 applies to the World Wode Web (thus excluding onion sites).

  • Data packets are acceptable substitutes for communion wafer for robots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. I was older, and the central nervous system automatic response of “mitigate harm, go to help” hit very hard.

  See? Fake hot takes in the media didn’t start with bots online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except I don’t frequent those subreddits. Sometimes an unknown risky click just finds you through typically not gore-oriented means.

  For example, the video of ol’ Charlie Spurts getting it to the neck was all over Twitter for the first couple of hours after it happened. Link from a news site goes to the video, which was impossible to know what to expect until you see it.

  Plus, news sites show or lin to video of war deaths from Ukraine all the time. Video of illegal strikes on fishing boats where people are killed.

  Maybe people don’t realize what they’re seeing, but it seems disturbingly common for actual videos of actual deaths to just be regular news stories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No gate keeping. Shit, they only took the subreddit full of ISIS beheadings and Chinese industrial accidents down when they did their IPO.

  FFS, we all saw a woman get murdered 10 days ago from 7 different angles. If anyone genuinely thinks real time fascism is less fucked up than 2G1C, I invite them to get their head unfucked.

  Lol, of this is the worst thing you’ve ever seen online, you haven’t been online long.

  It’s kind of a shame you’re getting down voted for this. It’s a perfectly reasonable perspective, and makes sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cant Decide 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s what I was thinking as well, with the comparison to hand drawn animation. Honestly, I’m not sure, but I expect that would not hit quite the same way. Claymation…maybe the same, actually. It might also be just no glasses scrolling and quick reactions without discernment.

  I’ve explained how to recognize AI videos, and she knows how to ID most (I hope), and I have noticed that she shows me fewer AI clips now. Not none, but fewer. I think she knows I don’t like them, and doesn’t want me too be the killjoy.

  I even made a clip in Sora of our cat doing stuff, as an olive branch. I think that sort of made the point you were making about the friend getting an award.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cant Decide 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My spouse yelled at me after she showed me too many AI videos, and I would watch it and 1) if it’s under 15 seconds, 2) too good to be true, 3) has unrealistic physics, and/or 4) has AI artifacts, I wouldn’t enjoy the video, and just say “yeah, that’s AI.”

  She just wants to enjoy the videos, and didn’t care if staged or AI or what. She likes the concept of what’s on the video. AI takes that away from me, and not her, apparently.

  Exactly. Not crazy that ancient humans would see them and smash the seeds up and eat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Regional differences⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, that’s the point. I hadn’t eaten since lunch, so all i have is wine, maybe a touch of bile, and poop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks about wheat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wheat is just fancy grass. People learned how to process wheat before they learned how to wipe their asses with a communal sponge on a stick.

  Wheat calories are what unlocked the big brain thinking that first said, “Guys, let’s put just ONE sponge on a stick. And share it!”
