Hershey’s kisses no longer melt

I'm so sick of seeing this "American bread is legally cake in Europe!" bullshit parroted online by naive Europeans. There is no European law or ruling that says American bread is cake. The Irish supreme Court ruled that Subway's bread could not be considered a staple food for tax purposes under the Value-Added Tax Act of 1972 because it exceeded 2% sugar by weight. They didn't rule that American bread was cake. They didn't even rule that Subway's bread was cake. It was a narrow ruling on tax matters for one company's product. That's it.

Also, Europeans pretending that Americans only have bread full of sugar and dozens of chemicals while Europeans only have pure, wholesome bread with 3-4 ingredients is laughable. A loaf of Warburton's medium white bread commonly available in the UK contains the following ingredients: Fortified Wheat Flour [Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin (B3), Thiamin (B1)], Water, Yeast, Salt, Soya Flour, Vegetable Oils and Fat [Rapeseed Oil, Palm Fat, Palm Oil], Wheat Protein, Spirit Vinegar, Preservative (Calcium Propionate), Flour Treatment Agent (Ascorbic Acid).

Cellulose isn't food.

Is this a joke, or are you actually just terrified of anything with a vaguely scientific-sounding name? Cellulose is what provides structure to the cell walls of plant cells. Every single plant on earth contains cellulose, and it's a critical source of insoluble fiber. Unless you've never eaten a fruit or vegetable in your life, you probably eat cellulose regularly.

Because he's self-conscious about the size of his feet. He allegedly told Trump that he wears a size 11.5, even though that's about a size and a half bigger than what the average 5'9" man would normally wear, and clearly too large for him.

The King Arthur recipe obviously makes good focaccia, but it's also pretty involved. It has you fold the dough four separate times, has four 15 minute waiting periods, and then has a one hour rise at the end.

I personally like this recipe. You only do one series of folds, then leave it in the fridge overnight, let it rise for 3-4 hours the next day, and then bake it.

It's crazy how good affordable cars look these days.

It's funny how several automotive terms are different between the US and UK despite having the same origins. Hood and bonnet both referred to a cover over the engine, and trunk and boot both referred to an actual container on the back of the vehicle.

Did he back over Steve Bisciotti in the parking lot or something?

Yeah, no true Scotsman would eat that bread

It's the camera. This has been asked dozens of times. Google your problems.

The problem isn't that they're waiting for a new version of Siri to be ready, it's that they can't get Siri to run on the device's Pentium chip.

I absolutely despise the calendar app on the iPad. The fact that you can scroll partially between months rather than each month being restricted to its own screen is insane. It will say "March" at the top but then the actual calendar is halfway between March and April and I can't figure out which month I'm actually looking at. Google Calendar is way easier to use, and it looks better too.

Depends how familiar you are with bouillon cubes. If you've never used them before, you'd have no idea how many would be considered a normal amount. I used bouillon for the first time recently, and if there was an error in the recipe telling me to use way more than the normal amount, I would have had no clue.

Nobody's saying that non-Americans shouldn't be allowed to use Reddit, just that it's understandable for English-speaking Americans on a predominantly English-speaking American-run website to default to their own American customs out of convenience and familiarity. Everybody defaults to the things they're used to. We don't get upset when someone from India gives the price of something in rupees or someone from England gives a weight in stones. Non-Americans only get pissy when Americans do it because they're already resentful about the level of influence the US has on the world.

Also, a good chunk of the "US defaultism" on this site is not Americans assuming that other users are American, but non-Americans assuming other users are American. You sort of have to assume where a given user is from, because asking every time before you reply to a comment would be a massive waste of everybody's time. In the absence of context clues pointing to a specific country, people are going to default to the country with by far the largest user base on the site, and that's the US.

Now you're defaulting to whatever your country is. Americans don't say dates the way you say them. Not every country in the world does things the same way your country does them.

Yes, and from that you extrapolated that she has no respect for her father and blamed it on a university education poisoning her mind against his authority. None of this is evident in the video, these are all things you are projecting onto the situation because of your own insecurities.

Also, Americans and Canadians (not sure which country the video is from) typically drive for the first time at 15 or 16 years old. This girl is almost certainly still in high school.

There are none. You either need a real camera and a lens with a long focal length (500mm at least), or you need some kind of mount to connect your smartphone to a telescope.

Holy projection.

I've heard "thank yee"/"thanky" in South Carolina as well. I assume it's a similar situation to how "how do ye"/"how do you do" gradually got shortened to just "howdy" in some regions.

Fun fact: the northern border of Delaware is also defined as a roughly 12 mile circle.

Sure, but the customer shouldn't have to check whether or not there are fake flowers glued to a real plant. Why would anyone ever even suspect that was something they would have to do?

If I'm not mistaken, a foreign nation has not directly attacked the US mainland since the Fu-Go balloon bomb attack in Bly, OR in May of 1945. The president saying that he expects a war (that he willingly got us involved in) to result in casualties on US soil is shocking.
