- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 8 hours ago:
most stainless steel is not true stainless steel and instead simply stains less. to deal with the low pH environment of honey (4 pH), you would need a high performance stainless steel or alloy to avoid leaching flavor from the alloy into the honey. most cutlery is 416 which will corrode under the conditions of being in honey. true silver, i think, would be fine in that environment, but i wouldn’t want to put a spoon in honey without being confident it was a higher performance compound than 416, and at that point i could just get a cheap dipper

only if you’re using a wooden spoon. a metal spoon will leach its flavor into the honey

and that’s fine. good for you. you don’t have to buy a dipper if you don’t feel like. i like mine because it’s easier and i was tired of using the edge of the jar when a dipper costs a few cents (i think i got mine for 75 cents)

i have and that’s what i’m comparing against. thank you for your unconstructive input. with the teaspoon you can’t twist it to break a run before putting it in your mug and adding the hot water. so the teaspoon ends up being messier.
also what… did you think i was comparing against? my hands?

the honey that comes in the squeezable bottles is lower quality and the bottles themselves are wasteful. i’d rather pay a little extra, get honey from a beekeeper, know my local agriculture is being pollinated by a local beekeeper, and deal with a little piece of wood i have to rinse a little bit.
the convenience is distinctly not worth the degradation in all of the things i like about honey

it’s the easiest tool to use to get the honey out of the jar and into your mug for tea. i got mine at the farmer’s market because local honey is thicker than store honey, but even stores that sell local honey don’t sell these. highly recommend one if you’ve never seen one. it makes making tea so much easier

it reduces the risk of missing because the target bent over to pick up a quarter, or stepped to the side because they saw something interesting. the knives in question are basically swords that deploy radially from the missile body like an umbrella.
- Comment on for a better future for ur children 3 days ago:
the knife missile is so emblematic of the entire military industrial complex. can’t stop engaging in unnecessary resource wars due to unnecessary casualties. instead, the military industrial complex will develop and sell a product to allow the killing of specific people in public spaces. and the more you think about the idea of being at a produce stand and someone standing next to you turning into a fine red mist, never to exist in physical space again, the more distopian it seems.
it reminds me of the episode of star trek where they encounter a planet that has eliminated war via coordinated computer simulations and voluntary genocides.

- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 4 days ago:
a company has no moral guiding principals outside of monetary gain. its board of directors members may have their own individual viewpoints, but as a collective, a corporation is representative only of the shareholder’s shared interest in making some money. if they wanted anything else, they would collectivize into another form.
generally speaking the best, i mean the best, you can expect from a BoD member is liberalism and all that entails. from a liberal perspective, pacifism is a virtue to be signaled, not an overall approach to the world with a goal of bringing about a just and fair society. liberals preaching non-violence don’t really care if someone is preaching violence so long as they don’t practice violence and the results of the preaching of violence remain unseen.
that’s how you wind up with liberals saying that the founder of turning point usa did things the right way and denouncing someone doing exactly the things he said were good to do, but moreover, denouncing people who have trained in violence accessing that violence in self defense. in the fight between fascism and anything other than fascism, violence must be used to denounce fascism because it is the only language fascists speak. you can use non-violence to interact with other political positions. those are positions who do not practice solely violence. but fascism believes access to violence grants license to use that violence. you can only counter this belief by rendering it scared to show itself in public
- Comment on Apparently, all YouTube Rewinds have been unlisted as of today. 4 days ago:
go open youtube in a private tab and see how long it takes for an innocuous video to get a recommended video from the manosphere, rightwingtube, or magaworld. youtube pushes nazi shit hard. if they’re not pushing it on you, it usually means their mathematical model for determining who right wing propaganda works best on indicates you’re not a good target, in which case they’ll mostly push meaningless drivel.
youtube and youtube culture have been dying a right wing nazi death for a decade now. all the best things people were doing are on patreon and nebula now

there’s a reason i coalition build best with religious anarchists while myself being an agnostic. there’s actually a ton of radical political thought in theology if you can get away from a hierarchically programmed preacher long enough to study it yourself.
there’s a song i love titled Owed to a Hypocrite about how the politician and the preacher walk down the road hand in hand oppressing all us regular people

i’d just worn out a wallet after a couple years and was working my first job and wanted something that would last. the old wallet had worn out in the crease of the bifold

i used to have this wallet. it’s a wallet with a metal frame. it’s not very comfortable to carry. i bought it after searching “most durable wallet” and getting one of those seo bullshit ad sites before i knew better in 2018

- Comment on Palworld dev isn’t impressed by "so-called" AAA, prefers indies since they "include the kind of systems you can’t find in other games" 2 weeks ago:
very apt meatphor, especially when you consider the development and enjoyment of games has consistently been part of the human experience.
a lovingly crafted game is a gourmet meal, each ingredient lovingly selected based on experience and a desire to give the recipient a special experience that will stay with them emotionally long term
a big studio game is fast food combination meal, each component focus tested after optimizing the whole pipeline to reduce cost to the investor and the resulting experience leaves the recipient feeling empty and unsatisfied. sure, occasionally something innovative will come along like a first person openworld sandbox or a 4 pack of cinnamon poppers, but eventually the big firms will replicate what’s working at other firms and you’ll be left with every studio offering the equivalent to chicken nuggets, hamburgers, fried chicken sandwhiches, french fries, and soda

“tribalism” being the word we use to label when a civilization engages in pointless violence when it’s tribes that avoid this bullshit naturally by excluding the waste of time members of society who try to break society is so frustrating to me
