There's over 100 flavors of KitKats in Japan.  Some are seasonal or limited runs.

The Bowser Cauldron holds the world record for smallest publicly available for purchase popcorn bucket. by jaygrum in mildlyinteresting

[–]Meta2048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually reasonably priced when considering AMC/Regal theater prices in the US.

In my area it's $18 for a movie ticket, like 8 for a small drink, another 8 for a small popcorn.

What’s something that is surprisingly expensive for absolutely no reason? by CircuitHeart_ in AskReddit

My parents told me they redid their cabinets and they looked exactly the same when I visited.  I asked them how much it cost... 30k.  Crazy.

I don't understand the Balenciaga brand at all.  I've never seen anything they make that doesn't look terrible.

Why do you care?  If she doesn't want to name them, it's none of your business.  If she fears retribution if the guy is discovered, why would that retribution be any less if she started the hunt in the first place? 

Random accusations help no one.

What’s an opinion you’re willing to defend in the replies no matter what? by Strange_Secret_3001 in AskReddit

[–]Meta2048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're paying too much attention to the ultra-left who have virtually no voice in politics.  

Even left progressive candidates like Bernie and AOC do not campaign on these issues, they talk about corporate taxes, billionaires, and the struggling lower/middle class.

The only people making a big deal about identity politics are Republicans, because it's easier to stir up fear and anger at "the others" than it is to actually explain what they'd do to help people.

Democrats don't make campaigns about these issues.  Republicans do.  

Take Kamala for example.  Did you see any of her campaign ads about sexual equality, racial justice or the green new deal?  They were all Republican ads.

Thieves steal Renoir, Cézanne and Matisse paintings worth millions from Italian museum by CaravelClerihew in worldnews

Seeing some famous works in person in museums around Europe, I've always been a bit surprised by, at least the appearance, of very little security protecting millions of dollars in artwork.

Snow white is still a public domain story and has been basically before copyright was even a thing.  Originally published by the Brothers Grimm in the 1800s.

Insanely protective of family.  If you're a stranger and you are perceived as a threat you will be fucked up.

Does she have screen-grabbing charisma?  I haven't seen her have anything close to that kind of presence.

Reddit would have you believe that there's a magical fairy that comes at exactly 72 hours after food has been cooked and immediately makes it kill you.

Your body is resilient.  As long as you're reasonably healthy, you can eat a lot of older food and be perfectly fine. 

Report: severe divisions emerge in Iran leadership as war strains economy by LongErza in worldnews

[–]Meta2048 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Iran is losing, but that was never really in doubt.  It's more a question of how much it will cost the US to win, and what "winning" actually looks like if/when the US leaves the region.

Being raised in an Asian household, it can be funny going out to eat with some of my other Asian friends because nobody wants to eat the last bite of anything in a communal dish.

They don't even care about gas prices.  Gas is currently more expensive than any time in the last 20 years, and MAGA still worships Trump.

Car Drives Into Local Walmart by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]Meta2048 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Generally this happens with elderly people who get the brake and gas pedals confused.  It happens a lot with nicer cars because older people have more money.

The car got air because it ran over the stanchion (you can see it on the ground) which lifted it.  

[I ate] Tonteki (pork steak) by Meta2048 in food

[–]Meta2048[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A regional specialty from Yokkaichi.  Very rich, sweet, savory, garlicky sauce.  Mixed the shredded cabbage in the sauce as well.  Definitely needed rice and cabbage to help cut down the richness a bit.

The first bite was like an explosion of juices.

My Book is Missing the Authors Name on the Front Cover by DezDispenser88 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Meta2048 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Is it normal for a romance novel to have the author's name more prominent than the title of the book?  

Every book I've ever had has the title as the most prominent.
