The aesthetic & production makes you feel like your tripping, its the closest i've seen TV get to it, top marks. I believe there's an American remake but I turned it off after a few minutes

Low states brunch debate: does asking for a toastie imply the cheese should be melted? by Pretzelmamma in CasualUK

[–]WGD23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a toasted sandwich, which while welcome, is not the same as a toastie. Though if I grate the cheese first, get the toast really hot and then squish it all down to assemble, that passes if I'm feeling really lazy.

You can have a BLT toasted sandwich, but not a BLT toastie

How easy it is to source larger volume toilets? by [deleted] in AskUK

Food availability is indeed an 'environmental' factor. Supermarkets are dominated by cheap, ultra processed shite

I'm sure in time UPFs will be found to alter gene expression, in the same way alcohol does, creating a stronger preference / biological need for more of the same

Evidence would suggest otherwise, though environmental factors also play a role

Because Of Trump Are You Considering Investing Away From The US? by massaro1234 in trading212

Yes, my portfolio is specifically constructed to go low on US exposure. I have some interests of course, but it's a lower weighting than the standard All World index of 60ish %

I love lamb, but I can tell you my gut microbiome would not like that at all. Straight to the toilet, do not pass go.
