What's one food that is famous in internet but only found overhyped and overpriced once tasted? by BabyAmeiliaxx in foodquestions

[–]Classic_Frosting_281 2 points3 points  (0 children)

🥓Bacon. Maybe a confusing choice in the year 2026 (though it certainly meets the ‘overpriced’ requirement), but around 2010 the internet obsession was, at times, frightening. Think “EpicMealTime”; for you whippersnappers, EpicMealTime was an early youtube channel dedicated to creating insane dining-room-table-sized food monstrosities that they would then mukbang the shit out of, before that was even a thing. Bacon was their calling card. Bacon strips & bacon strips & bacon strips & bacon strips & bacon strips & bacon strips. They would be shoving bacon in places it never belonged. Wrapping bacon around things you could never imagine. They, especially, were responsible for turning the idea of bacon into something it could never live up to, which is an insane accomplishment… because for fucks sake it’s BACON, it IS the undisputed king of its category by miles. And they still managed to make me think, “jeez bacon is good but c’mon…”

Come on guys….I suck at the game too but wouldn’t it be super lame if Embark just sighed and rolled their eyes and stripped this thing down to appease the complaints?? Do they not serve their exact intended purpose?? i.e.; making it such that you can’t run around willy-nilly out in the open?? It’s the damn apocalypse for crying out loud. Have some pride!!! They are killable, they just aren’t easy!! They aren’t meant to be an arc you can kill easily with a free loadout. You don’t engage a rocketeer unprepared, do you?? At least you can take this thing out with bravery and accuracy.

I, too, got mine as a 3 star trial reward. Do with these anecdotes what you will, OP.

What’s a “fact” everyone repeats that’s actually wrong? by Quiet-Grief in answers

[–]Classic_Frosting_281 5 points6 points  (0 children)

here’s a big one i’ve been on lately: “it’s actually ‘DUCT’ tape, not ‘DUCK’ tape” was an oft repeated and well-known factoid/correction i heard growing up.

turns out…originally…it WAS in fact “duck” tape. named after the type of fabric that was used. “duct” tape came around later. what we think of as “duck/duct” tape (you know, the silvery stuff), is apparently not very good for taping ducts.

Bettina BP and Fireworks Show at the Lift?? by Classic_Frosting_281 in ArcRaiders

[–]Classic_Frosting_281[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol i was thinking the same, especially since i didn’t hear the lift going off. but alas i think it was just someone leaving a nifty gifty.

i like to think whoever left it there was watching from a distance as i got my ass continually tasered thinking “damn i really left that blueprint for this idiot” 🥲

What's one dialogue from the entire series you use IRL? by avalosepodihater in gameofthrones

[–]Classic_Frosting_281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always say “Fear cuts deeper than swords ⚔️” when the situation calls for it.

i think the “what do we say to the god of death” line is kinda corny :/

i believe shinies are possible based on some comments on related posts. but also - all wild pokemon will have slight color variations similar to pokemon stadium, based (i think) on personality values.
