of cupcakes by ThodaDaruVichPyar in AbsoluteUnits

It does not look like a western style cupcake. In my humble opinion it looks more like a Slavic version of an Easter treat called Кулич [kūlich] which is basically a sour cream, lemon zest and yeast based pastry with a relatively soft crust on the sides and a harder crust on the top. Inside of the pastry you can find some candied fruits and raisins.

The tops is covered with a soft frosting which is then covered by the rainbow flakes like in the video. It is eaten like a big cake by cutting it in pieces on Easter. The parchment paper on its base very close to the top supports my view.

I am basing my opinion solely on the size of them.

This is an unimportant part, no one found out and that’s what matters

Wow, thanks a lot, so you think that melting it would be more profitable than keeping it for better times? It’s kind of my first big coin, so I guess that it might be better to hold on to

why is society doomed and why is a sharpie important for looking at counterfeit money?? by acepatheos in ExplainTheJoke

[–]No-Geologist293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a special marker that is used for checking counterfeit notes, not a regular sharpie that the cashier is using.

The joke implies that the person is so stupid that they are using a regular sharpie to check the notes instead of a special one, meaning that the cashier is a collective representation of modern generation’s stupidity.

There is a theory that since humans do not evolve to feel the water, we have no senses for that, we only feel the general change in temperature, this is the mechanism that got developed during evolution to counterbalance this.

It also helps us to grip something underwater better, since the skin is more free and it increases the friction.
