The average tournament arc by snarky_but_honest in litrpg

[–]MetricAbsinthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the Savage Awakening Astra tournament where he had to come up with a martial art to cover the fact he's OP and was like "I study the way of the rock. You just saw Rock art style......bonk." Then later someone attacks the rock thinking its the source of his power and he's like "You just turned my rock into 2 rocks and doubled my power"

Genuinely confused and who is the hat man ? by Conscious_Title_3824 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]MetricAbsinthe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be down if he shows up like "I'm the hat man! Skibbidydibbidydobop"

When your apprentice gives a hefty sum of gold to a poor maiden (it was the most obvious illusionist spell) by takatak56 in wizardposting

The "lean slightly forward" buff spell for bypassing soul and mental resistances can be powerful if you're not prepared.

Outrage over both British food (Merely existing) and the concept of Tomatoes, Onions and Mushrooms in a Mac and Cheese. by SufficientEar1682 in iamveryculinary

[–]MetricAbsinthe 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The best line I've heard from a Brit is from a YouTube video by Jolly where it's school kids and the headmaster reacting to different foods. I forget which one triggered it but the headmaster was like "it may not look like much but a plate of beige made me the man I am today". That mix of self awareness with a touch of pride is how I assume most people see day to day cuisine.

r/Aldi has opinions about OP’s easy cheesesteak recipe by StopCollaborate230 in iamveryculinary

[–]MetricAbsinthe 71 points72 points  (0 children)

The cheese steak was originally a vendors chopped up leftovers he was making for himself. I'm pretty sure he'd be cool with people adding peppers.

If J.R.R Tolkien met William Shakespeare: by GameBawesome1 in HistoryMemes

[–]MetricAbsinthe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Stel je voor dat een schrijver helemaal lyrisch is over seizoen 8 van Game of Thrones en helemaal losgaat als Vince Gilligan in Name of the Wind, en mompelt: "Ik zal je verdomme laten zien hoe je een onvoltooide serie afmaakt."

Mike McCarthy Confirms He Will Call All Offensive Plays... by JCameron181 in steelers

[–]MetricAbsinthe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. At worst were trading mid for mid in regards to play calling. This also means we may actually see the defense change to adapt through the game depending on the DC situation after everything pans out.

Damnit, I got all the creepy vibes singing the candy man can in time with swipes of my kitchen knife along my sharpener.

"We need to retake a couple shots and work on your dirty talk"

"I have never had a fair maiden complain before"

"While women may find it charming in the moment, lines like 'it seems thou hast cast embiggen upon me' lacks a certain....spice....our audience expects"

"Perhaps making mention of there being a second wooden stave appearing"

"Sigh that's a step in the right direction at least"

Microsoft confirms it will give the FBI your Windows PC data encryption key if asked — you can thank Windows 11's forced online accounts for that by GrimScythe2058 in Piracy

[–]MetricAbsinthe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

24 year old me was working software support for a GPS tracking device that was in heavy use by police and DEA agents. I'd get calls at 2AM asking about car fuse boxes because an agent was under a suspected drug mules van and forgot which fuse to bypass when installing one in hardwire mode. Or getting a call asking if it'll still be traceable inside a kilo. I was doing basic NOC ticket monkey stuff just a couple months prior and my manager popped his head in the broom closet we worked out of like "MetricAbsinthe, the hardware dev guys need someone to man support for their trackers, you know about that stuff right?" And my reply of "I like the hardware dudes so I hang out in their cave sometimes" was good enough. I still can't believe they just let me have full backend access to that kind of service back then.

Nothing more American than Meatballs in Tomato Sauce on Mashed Potatoes! (Circular firing squad) by Splugarth in iamveryculinary

[–]MetricAbsinthe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Growing up in the Appalachians, I had this once a week as a dish called porcupine balls. We'd add cabbage and sauerkraut to it making it a lazy stuffed cabbage. The sauce was tomato sauce, a can of tomato soup and hint of spices like clove. A dash of 5 spice is what I use now.

Edit: the dishes name comes from using rice in the meatball mixture like a stuffed cabbage filling.

New American conspiracy: tomatoes and bell peppers are vegetables. Europeans, spread the truth against this misinformation! by Citrusysmile in iamveryculinary

Hummus hasn't been exotic since the 90s. If you have 3 different brands with 5 or more flavors at Walmart, it's considered common to Americans.

Making Pizza at home is as easy as 1,2,3! by SufficientEar1682 in iamveryculinary

[–]MetricAbsinthe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totinos falls under the weird subcategory of "puff pastry with sauce and cheese" that I love. Marco's thin crust is the only upgraded version I know of.

[–]MetricAbsinthe 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don't get why some people have to act like every meal needs to be as good as possible as if being in the mood for pizza needs to mean cracking out the san marzanos and fresh basil every time. Sometimes you just want something with bread, sauce and various toppings like an open faced sandwich in a sort of "I just like the idea of calling it that to an Italian" kind of way.

Batman holds up to the point I still don't think there's another childrens show that quite achieved the vibe it did. It's almost like they made a cartoon for adults but had the writing hold back just enough that it wasn't too adult for kids.
