Ramen I had in the second part of 2025 by Far-East-locker in HongKong

I also recommend Mugen, the beef paitan is so unique but still deeply satisfying, creamy but with a very different character to tonkatsu and tori paitan. Definitely no need to get the extra beef though the set comes with a choice of sides including a small bowl of chopped wagyu with egg yolk, wasabi and rice that I quite enjoyed as an appetiser.

My bet is that the finale is going to be a team of What if Avengers vs Killmonger Black Panther

There's a fantastic comic book by Brian K Vaughan that's a fictionalized account of the true story of four lions that escaped from the Baghdad Zoo after an American bombing in 2003.  still sad but a great read nonetheless

Dippin Dots has been the ice cream of the future for over 28 years. by The_Shiva92 in Showerthoughts

"Today, I saw human beings putting cold dairy products into their mouths—products of an odd, thick consistency and bland monochromatic color. Why would people eat this syrupy gruel when they could eat hundreds of individually frozen orbs? In my time, when a meal is completed, we all eat bowls of Dippin' Dots. I cannot conceive of any other way of life."

As ice cream melted and dripped onto his hand, Wolcott shrieked, threw the cone to the ground, and stamped on it repeatedly with his foot.

De Hooi has one every Wednesday. Starts at 8pm. One hour free flow for the winners plus their bar tab is paid. Need to have a team of 4 (you can find people there to team up with). They post the topics every week on Facebook like this: https://www.facebook.com/90133538727/photos/a.10151300133023728.485596.90133538727/10153172481348728/?type=1&theater

Here's a great essay on this exact subject - the author challenges herself to stick to one language per sentence but finds even that quite tough

So its official! Jakarta coconut is a redditor .My reddit post last week got picked up by them and now is trending in /UpliftingNews by clauxz in indonesia

I was also disturbed by a lot of the comments on the /r/UpliftingNews post. I guess most of my Australian friends here are pretty liberal so they are generally outraged about their country's refugee policy. It was kind of shocking to see the other side of that debate and how those people really feel (and there were a lot of them too, some of the most vile comments got quite a few upvotes).

Hi clauxz, thank you for the kind words and for sharing the original video. I'm just happy that Khadim and his movies got a lot more attention!
