- Comment on Why does dried pasta have an expiration date 42 minutes ago:
how do you even put a date on fruits and veggies
- Comment on Why does dried pasta have an expiration date 43 minutes ago:
amusingly some meat, i think it’s mostly cuts of beef, will have a best after date because it needs time for tissues to break down slightly and whatnot so it’s maximally enjoyable.
- Comment on Why does dried pasta have an expiration date 46 minutes ago:
3 year aged cheese, expires in 1 year
- Comment on Why does dried pasta have an expiration date 47 minutes ago:
A lot of packaging here has the text “Best before, often good after:”, and for extra credit they might add “Use your senses: Look, smell, taste, before throwing away.”
- Comment on How come they don't do a cooking show for poor or middle class people? Something that is under 10 bucks that will last a couple days and be great. 2 days ago:
well no, you kinda need access to the ingredients for that cuisine… Like, nordic (and even a lot of central european) grocery stores don’t just have galangal or whatever. Plus if they do it’s gonna be horribly expensive, since it’s imported.
- Comment on Mitch McConnel's Wikipedia page has been heavily edited the last few days, with the last ones being 4 hours ago. So around 1PM EST. What could that mean? 3 days ago:
there are no stupid questions, but there certainly are questions that seem to have bad intentions…
- Comment on 4 days ago:
it’s the kind of thing i would enjoy, but i just fundamentally do not understand how it’s supposed to be better.
The way it works just feels literally painful and absolutely isn’t faster or easier than just pressing buttons. - Comment on people who take zoom calls in coffee shops are insufferable 4 days ago:
they pulled out their cyberdeck (a commodore 64 with an armstrap and a small CRT display affixed) and started typing furiously

i checked their post history and they reference being drunk while commenting previously, so i can only assume they went on one hell of a bender and fixated on dishwashers while struggling with some sort of trauma…
- Comment on Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground? 1 week ago:
Not really, no. This is the same kind of silver-bullet thinking as self-driving cars, it may feel cool but in reality the best way to improve things are boring and have been known for centuries if not millennia.
Some things absolutely benefit from being underground, like railways in dense urban areas, but for most things it’s just a ton of effort for not much benefit and introducing a bunch of problems (flooding is only going to become more common in the future).What we should be doing is returning to everything being designed for the specific local environment, stop building everything identically all over the world.
Look at traditional construction and you’ll find tons of small features that together make a HUGE difference, a prime example is how hot places had walled backyard gardens with a fountain in the middle, which basically turns the garden into a swamp cooler. - Comment on Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground? 1 week ago:
Putting big roads underground is what norway does, once you see it done it becomes very obvious that it should be standard (plus it helps prevent large roads from being built at all, which is even better).

you can get curly hair by doing chemotherapy
- Comment on The same adult daughter who has trouble loading a dishwasher efficientlyly... 1 week ago:
this is fucking baffling to me because EVERYONE here has a dishwasher and has had one for at least… two generations now…
The only places that don’t have one is tiny apartments where it would occupy half the kitchen. - Comment on The same adult daughter who has trouble loading a dishwasher efficientlyly... 1 week ago:
the real test is what happens when you open the door again
- Comment on The same adult daughter who has trouble loading a dishwasher efficientlyly... 1 week ago:
slightly dried-out pizza is gourmet shit, it’s like how salami is made.
- Comment on YouTube Premium Lite 1 week ago:
being degoogled is kinda the point of lineage 😭 i don’t hate /e/os and the other stuff but holy hell they seem to have completely buried the existence of lineage and it feels so fucking strange and not good
- Comment on When will the all white home with grey floors trend be over? 1 week ago:
all of us who want things to have a personality just have to force others to accept it, if it becomes sufficiently normalized people will stop thinking it’s weird.
Yes Cheryl, looking old is the point, old homes were comfy.

on ice?
- Comment on YouTube Premium Lite 1 week ago:
i’m very curious how you imagine streaming being killed, are people gonna go back to laserdisc?..
- Comment on YouTube Premium Lite 1 week ago:
it genuinely makes me a bit angry that y’all never mention lineage, why are you ignoring by far the most normalized and usable android distribution??
- Comment on Is it true that airport customs can legally demand access to your unlocked phone? 1 week ago:
and of course at least a third of the US population is within 100 miles of the physical border, most of the big cities are literally on the coastline
- Comment on Is there any good thing for using AI for the middle class and poor? Instead of just the oligarchs ripping off the middle class and poor? 1 week ago:
I really do think we as individuals should just wholesale throw it in the bin, the only people who should be using it are teams of workers like scientists/medical staff where it can unequivocally have a big benefit which helps everyone and is thus worth it.
But even then usage should go through a vetting process, so it’s justified and not going to lead to worse results.

- Comment on GTA 6 is a 'singleplayer experience,' GTA Online may be sold separately 1 week ago:
except if they don’t include the multiplayer then why the fuck does it cost 80 bucks?
- Comment on I feel like this could have been a smaller package 2 weeks ago:
i don’t think labelling is the reason because plenty of medicine packaging just has fold-outs with information on it. It’s actually something i find really neat.

we have the mythical ability to stand up

that tends to happen when you leave him strewn across the floor, you should print a gridfinity thing to put him on
- Comment on Is there hope for humanity? Or are we just destined or designed to wipe our own selves out? 2 weeks ago:
I think the most useful thing to remember is that evil people are the only ones who benefit from doomerism.
- Comment on Was Alex Jones right about anything? 2 weeks ago:
analog clocks are also really cheap and can trivially be made fucking MASSIVE (and thus easy to see)
