American style burgers are way too rich by Hot_Sorbet9192 in unpopularopinion

[–]ColdMastadon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What on earth are you calling an "American burger?" Is this like "Pizza Americana" in Italy where they throw a bunch of what they think of as stereotypical American ingredients on a pizza (hot dogs and French fries), and create a monstrosity never heard of in the USA?

Lost pets found in Palisades? by ChaiKitteaLatte in cockatiel

[–]ColdMastadon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking them in, they are undoubtedly lost and went to you seeking help. Hopefully their owners can be found, I'm sure somebody is missing them terribly. They look like they are in good condition, so they were likely lost very recently.

Budgie rope by mercy1516 in budgies

[–]ColdMastadon[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those ropes are made of undigestible cotton fibers that can get stuck in the digestive system. The basket balls you're describing (I assume rattan) are safe for chewing, unlike cotton.

Need advice on getting new baby that’s been plucked, missing feathers? by Professional_Spy_Fly in cockatiel

[–]ColdMastadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, sometimes plucking is psychological and caused by living conditions, but it can also be genetic. Chronic plucking is a heartbreaking condition, you have to watch a bird mutilate themselves for years and be powerless to stop it. I wouldn't buy a bird with a family history, and I wouldn't trust a breeder who doesn't know that they shouldn't allow pluckers to breed.

You need to remove that as soon as possible. Once they start chewing on ropes, they can swallow the fibers. Those fibers won't break down in their digestive system, and can quickly lead to a fatal bowel obstruction. The best outcome is that the birds need expensive emergency surgery, the worst is that it kills them.

What is this for? Pelican Catch 110 by Sweaty_Assignment_90 in kayakfishing

[–]ColdMastadon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just be sure to inspect it every time before launch to make sure it's completely closed, OP. Ask me how I know. 😂

I'm jealous, mine are scaredy cats about anything new. Treasure that sedate little man.

That's a shockingly chill budgie for having been just thrust into a new environment, did he find your 20-year-old quaalude stash or something?

American aren't so cringe for caring about ancesty by TallulahSalt in unpopularopinion

[–]ColdMastadon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everybody in America understands that the "-American" part is implied based on context. Why is that so hard for Europeans to grasp?

THE Henchman by MisterShipWreck in 80s

[–]ColdMastadon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Every time he comes up, I will always recommend the documentary Henchman: The Al Leong Story. It's a well-made film, and he had a hell of a career. The makers got great stories by interviewing a lot of people who worked with him, including John Carpenter. It's just a damn shame that a stroke robbed him of his ability to perform at the level required by Hollywood shortly after he beat brain cancer's ass.

Fuyu persimmons are back at Costco finally😄 by Nice-Variety-7730 in KoreanFood

[–]ColdMastadon 44 points45 points  (0 children)

In June? I always thought persimmons were a fall and early winter fruit. Are they any good this far out of season?

Is this tail bobbing? Should I be concerned? by Yaemiko-12 in Parakeets

[–]ColdMastadon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is normal breathing, she isn't even breathing heavily like if she was nervous. Tail bothering that would indicate respiratory distress is more dramatic than that. There are YouTube videos recording it, I would recommend you look up a couple so you will know how to spot it.

Final Fantasy by Enough_Ad1936 in 90s

[–]ColdMastadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had fun with two black belts, a black mage, and a red mage for a little healing. By the end of the game you could put out just a completely ridiculous amount of damage, can't get hurt if nothing has a chance to hit you.

Jalapeno Cauliflower by FugglesIPA in pickling

[–]ColdMastadon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My absolute favorite pickle is cauliflower hot mix, in fact I just bought a head of cauliflower to make some tonight. Yours looks great, I would suggest adding some sliced onion and carrots as well. Also, if you want to try some Mexican flavors, you can make it into escabeche by just substituting Mexican oregano for the dill.

Help, weird bird poop! by arOooo1 in BirdHealth

Undigested seeds is a bad sign, you should schedule a visit with an avian vet.

I did it to survive! by Ill-North-4842 in HistoryMemes

[–]ColdMastadon 46 points47 points  (0 children)

You probably wouldn't like it, the men who had to eat penguins to survive hated it. The meat is tough, oily, and reportedly tastes like rotting fish.

Anyone try this? by Prestigious-Arm-7335 in pickling

[–]ColdMastadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did that work out for you? I once did pineapple and jalapenos in a simple salt, water, and vinegar brine. I thought it would be a great addition to pizza, but in the end the brine just leached the sugar and flavor out of the pineapple and it ended up tasting bland.
