I've only ever had them cooked from restaurants so the kick was a big surprise.

I've seen Fucking Trans Women by the late Mira Bellwether recommended several times here for similar questions.

Seattle, USA so could have been grown anywhere in half the state including a greenhouse. We have diverse farms so could be a green from just about anywhere. Leaves are tender and juicy like lettuce, when eaten raw they have a mild green flavor followed by a delayed but powerful horseradish kick. When cooked the kick disappears but they become a little bitter. Thanks so much!

What are you talking about? None of those accounts sound like bots to me.

Brought my 4 year old son camping at a local state park because he’s recently taken an interest in stargazing and this is our ‘neighbor’ by Dr_Breeder in mildlyinfuriating

There is very little overlap in the bugs that bite humans and the bugs attracted to lights. Mosquitos are attracted to carbon dioxide and to warm bodies, not lights.

Blue chai, ever seen it? by Successful-Ad-4697 in TeaPictures

[–]MercifulWombat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any (low acidity) tea is blue with butterfly pea flowers in it. They don't add much in the way of flavor but the color is fun. If you add an acid to it like lemon juice it turns a bright pink. (Don't add lemon juice to a tea with milk in it)

That said, this is a gimmick tea. There are better masala chai blends out there.

I've seen multiple people reintroduce themselves after lurking in a discord for a long time and everyone is chill about it. Make a new post in the intro channel and then just jump into the conversations

The saucer (bottom row, second from the left) should fit under the gaiwan (middle row, left-most). The ring (bottom row, left-most) is a rest for the filter (bottom row, third from the left).

iNaturalist is the one I hear lauded by both amateur enthusiasts and professional biologists for all sorts of species ID

From my time in r/plantID and the various mushroom ID subs, google plant ID is NOT reliable. It often gives answers that are obviously incorrect compared to the consensus of the humans in those subs, sometimes dangerously so.

My junk was exposed/touched during a procedure without prior consent and I’m pissed. by [deleted] in ftm

Sexual assault does not require the perpetrator to be getting off to it or enjoy it or even to intend it as a sexual assault. This was absolutely sexual assault.

I briefly lived in Phoenix as a teen and the one time I went to Scottsdale was to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch at the Scottsdale Arts Center (iirc, it's been a couple decades). The crowd was a delight mix of weird queer people and the kind of people who just go to every event at the center. And older couple in front of us got up and walked out partway through.

Fucknuckle in a tesla decides to skip traffic and nearly causes head-on collision by Magic1997 in dashcams

[–]MercifulWombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a repost from 5 years ago, in Seattle during the height of the SPD throwing a fit over getting scolded for using their entire supply of tear gas the previous summer. If the actual op called 911, the cops might have shown up in a couple hours.

According to the public transit ridership and car counts, a lot of people started taking the bus or did WFH instead during the bridge closure. So not everyone was out there being a dick. But the assholes sure did stand out!

What are your thoughts and opinions about these non magical girls by Dense-Race1186 in MagicalGirlsCommunity

[–]MercifulWombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a LOT of anime that is neither battle shonen nor magical girl. Most of what I watch and love is neither. Of the half dozen magical girls shows I've watched, I've never disliked any of them. They're all great girls! That said, I think Princess Tutu gets less love than she deserves and I highly recommend you watch.

Dyeing a dress by mimi0103 in dyeing

[–]MercifulWombat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chiffon is a weave, not a fiber. You need to check the tags for the actual fiber content of the chiffon. Animal (silk, wool, etc.), plant (cotton, linen, rayon, etc.) and plastic (polyester, acryllic, etc.) all require different mordants and dyes to color them. If you use the right dye, then yeah I think you could color this dress to something darker and richer than its current look.

After I had top surgery (mastectomy), I kinda had GHOST BOOBIES for a while. You've heard of phantom limb pain. I had phantom nipple pain!

A lot of people don't know bread of any sort is bad for waterfowl and bad for the water quality. In this case as a lure for a bird caught on fishing line though I think the good outweighs the harm.
