You don’t really want charcoal taste in your cigar, so that’s to be avoided.

Thanks again for these! Keep up the good work :D
- Comment on Common British L 4 days ago:
Well, there’s no “British cuisine” per se, but there are British restaurants. For example a pretty famous and influential one. Also, most pubs serve food and those are now pretty much everywhere in the world, that’s quite British, isn’t it? Dunno the history, but I always associated it with the Brits, maybe I’m wrong.

Because Lemmy was drunk when he went to bed with the chick and couldn’t consent, obviously!

Exactly. The app has been shitty for almost a decade now. How much slack are we supposed to cut to a multibillion dollar company?

Huh, interesting. That’s what the huntsman does to the wolf in little red riding hood, actually. Or well, in the version I’ve heard when I was a kid.
- Comment on The kids are ready for it... 1 week ago:
In Romania we have a story about a goat with 3 kids written by a famous author.Source.
Shortened version: She leaves the kids at home and tells them not to open to door for anyone. Wolf comes, the 2 older kids open the door cause they’re idiots, small one hides. Older kids get eaten and the wolf leaves their heads by the window.
Mom comes home, young kid tells her what happened and she decides to invite the wolf to a meal. There’s a big hole where she puts hot coals or something and covers it with a bunch of twigs or something and places the table on top.
Wolf comes, eats and eventually falls in the hole once the hot coals weaken the twigs enough. Goat and kid throw some stuff on the fire to weaken it and then kill the wolf by throwing big rocks at him since he can’t escape the hole.

Now you tell me?!
- Comment on Is water an acid or a base? 4 weeks ago:
I believe that’s caused by the CO2, but I’d have to test to be sure, brb.
- Comment on Is water an acid or a base? 4 weeks ago:
I know it’s a joke and all, but it’s not just the pH that makes something burn. A regular coke has a pH of around 2.5, for example.
- Comment on It must tremble 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, you’re probably right… And I know what you mean, got an Asperger’s diagnosis as an adult and while that’s relatively mild on the spectrum, it still makes things difficult sometimes.
- Comment on It must tremble 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I know, I agree. But it’s a joke, ofc it’s exaggerated. Nobody is seriously saying it’s that much effort to play with a cat. At least I hope not
- Comment on It must tremble 4 weeks ago:
Well, they probably mean that it feels like more work for us because we also have other shit to do, we’re tired, etc. while the cats only sleep and eat the rest of the time. And also, depending on the cat, sometimes they just hide in a corner for a few minutes, run after the toy for 3 seconds then they hide again for a minute, then they run again for 3 seconds and so on. Meanwhile you keep trying to entice them and they’re just sitting there while you dance for them with the toy.
Also, from what I’ve read, unless you’re using treats at the same time as a reward sort of thing, lasers might be stressful for the cats because they don’t get to catch anything.

- Comment on In heat 5 weeks ago:
I mean, when even people on Lemmy (who are supposed to be a bit more tech literate and stuff) insist that the solution is cutting a couple 2 letter words from your search query to make everything much shorter and efficient, are you even surprised?
I’ve been thinking for a while that people seem to be getting dumber and it might actually be true I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that fascism and other forms of conservatism seem to be on the rise pretty much everywhere in the world.
- Comment on In heat 5 weeks ago:
I just tested. “Angelina jolie heat” gives me tons of shit results, I have to scroll all the way down and then click on “show more results” in order to get the filmography.
“Is angelina jolie in heat” gives me this bluesky post as the first answer and the wikipedia and IMDb filmographies as 2nd and 3rd answer.
So, I dunno, seems like you’re wrong.
- Comment on What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion? 1 month ago:
Abzu? Dave the diver, maybe? Dredge?
Or, this might be a might more out of left field or maybe completely stupid and not at all what you had in mind, but what about coral island? You don’t get to experience the water surface except when fishing or doing other stuff on the shore. But you get to do stuff on the bottom and there’s mermaids and stuff.
Stardew valley with a tropical island vibe. So definitely fun and immersive. Definitely more adjacent than something like sea of thieves or black flag or subnautica, but I feel like it fits better than just cause 3, imo
- Comment on Pens in Space 1 month ago:
Yeah, my bad, shit example.
- Comment on Pens in Space 1 month ago:
Technically, I think they’re different. Flammable means that it can be lit on fire, like wood or something. Whereas inflammable means it can catch fire on its own, like gas, for example.

Move? It’s always been a migration with these games. That’s why they try to schedule their patches to not coincide with other similar games’ launches/patches
- Comment on Should we boycott games with loot boxes? 1 month ago:
Right, but the fifa series afaik makes more of its money by selling packs of cards with players in them. Packs and players that you can get by just playing. But they still sell those packs for $$, so why wouldn’t it count?
Borderlands the same, you can buy random gear with cash. I guess it’s less fomo and less abusive, but they’re still literal loot boxes that they sell for money

- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 month ago:
I’m here, so I’m more likely to know who that is or what he looks like. But I don’t. I do now because you mentioned him and I looked up how he looks like. Your average Joe is gonna be even less likely to know who that is or what he looks like. So I’m guessing that’s why. Some CEOs just avoid the spotlight. Or maybe I’ve just been avoiding MS news, dunno
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 month ago:
I often use cheats to remove grindy and boring bits beyond a certain point. Usually the difficulty curve is pretty bad and a game is only hard in the beginning. So I play as intended until I reach a point at which it’s just a matter of time and not skill. So I just give myself a ton of crafting mats or currency or whatever so I can focus on the fun and interesting parts of the game.
- Comment on Three original movies are being released in theaters today 1 month ago:
Yeah, my bad, I focused too much on the specifics and should’ve just looked at the meaning itself. In my head theater = restaurant, home tv = home kitchen. Good movie = bourguignon, average movie = noodles. And I had an issue with the latter part. Because to me it’s not about the quality of the movie, but the quality of the experience or at least getting something that you can’t get at home, same as in a restaurant I’d usually order stuff that I can’t make at home. Or that is too complicated to make at home.
Imo, noodles at restaurant are better cause of powerful gas stove which lets you actually fry stuff and not just steam it and gets you the wok hei, bourguignon at home or restaurant won’t be that much different since it’s just a stew and there’s not much you can do in a restaurant to make it better.
So that’s why I thought it wasn’t a good analogy. But if you just look at the meaning behind it, as I should’ve done, it’s a good analogy.
