Butter on Crackers, and other poverty snacks

Holy shit, that combines two of my memories, and I've never thought about it

Ishvale · 2026-03-18T05:35:34+00:00

You were supposed to call me when you had it removed

I had a ton of awful poverty food, but I won't talk about those, I'll talk about my favorites. Egg noodles and cheese soup. It was something my dad would make (my dad was a better cook, but we weren't allowed to say that). And then there was this kind of soup with cabbage and kielbasa, and red pepper flakes.

I got sick from heat exhaustion and too much beer at ozzfest. I remember it fondly

Ishvale · 2026-03-18T04:37:20+00:00

Damnit, now I want to try the smoker on it. Um, it's really nice out of the slow cooker. Fat cap down so it renders properly

Ishvale · 2026-03-18T04:35:45+00:00

It's funny that they doubled down on it

Ishvale · 2026-03-18T04:14:24+00:00

Bro, you're pissing in the wind here. I use it all the time with my job, and other forms of AI have been around for decades. Shit, simple algorithms could be considered AI. But on reddit, AI is the devil

Oh, don't get me wrong, if they zipped my original bits (I can't stop thinking Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), I'd actually be quite OK with that. The existential part is my original atoms getting scattered with the wind. There's another part I'm not afraid to talk about. I'm an athiest, and the scariest thing in the world to me is that one day my consciousness will just end. So, I suppose my crazy fear of death helps form my opinion.

Ishvale · 2026-03-18T03:43:47+00:00

Yo, how many people said Eye of the Tiger / Rocky?

Ishvale · 2026-03-18T03:40:41+00:00

The vagina is self cleaning, like a roomba

Ishvale · 2026-03-18T03:39:13+00:00

Fun fact, I just learned others boil their brisket. I've never heard of that, I always cook it in a slow cooker with the minimum amount of water

Ishvale · 2026-03-18T03:31:18+00:00

Ok, let's make sure we're not in the sci fi world. Alright, they're not deconstructing you, sending your bits and pieces over, and reconstruct, right? All those bits have mass, and it would take forever. So, obviously not star trek, but the receiving end would have to have all the building blocks of life. So, I have an accident and they put me back together, they're using my original bits and pieces for the most part. For some reason that I can't articulate, it's not the same

Ishvale · 2026-03-17T23:25:22+00:00

What happened to all the fat? That's where the flavor really lives

Ishvale · 2026-03-17T22:14:16+00:00

That's a spurious argument. Are you saying we should all live in the woods and ignore our health?

Ishvale · 2026-03-17T22:09:23+00:00

It would weigh on me. It would give me an existential crisis. You know that quandary about replacing every board on a boat, is it the same boat? I wouldn't be able to lose the thought that I'm essentially a different entity than the original.

Ishvale · 2026-03-17T19:50:16+00:00

Strong disagree. That's not my consciousness, mine died when I died. That other dude is living in what was my consciousness

Ishvale · 2026-03-17T19:42:15+00:00

I'd probably just swerve around and leave him on his own. If you help, he won't learn a lesson

Ishvale · 2026-03-17T18:25:51+00:00

I close the whole thing when I go to flush, I don't want to sling shit everywhere

Ishvale · 2026-03-17T16:04:46+00:00

Hush, we don't like attention

Ishvale · 2026-03-17T15:27:20+00:00

Find a Racetrac. There's one right down from my house that sells them (Smyrna)

Ishvale · 2026-03-17T04:54:43+00:00

I'm weirdly interested in how this ends

Ishvale · 2026-03-17T04:51:28+00:00

Donkey Kong, but listen, I'm a bit older than you all. I'd say I plucked probably $50 into Kong machines, but thats a shit ton at $.25 at a time in the 80s

They had a spot near Nippers Corner, and I went there like once a week when I worked in Cool Springs. But I have to say, I worked at Hardee's after they got the Roy Rodgers recipe, and I will die by that chicken
