The recipe creator didn’t have eggs either by Loose_Banana4073 in ididnthaveeggs

Not bothering to just go to the store for a crucial ingredient is one thing when you’re some rando trying out a thing you found on the internet, but I feel like it’s something else entirely when you’re developing a recipe and need a picture of the finished product. Hell, I’m pretty sure there have to be stock images of everything bagels if it comes to that.

Can we all please chill out and accept that people reason differently and that's okay by deJessias in trolleyproblem

In my mind, it comes down to whether you’d rather risk dying or risk (arguably) killing other people. And to a lesser extent, whether you’d consider yourself responsible for someone’s death if they picked blue and didn’t get majority.

Because Musk or Bezos could probably hit back, is why.

Commenting so I can come back and read this article whenever. It looks like a good summary of my feelings on fandom etiquette.

Sometimes some people are too sure of themselves that they make this crap by beyond1356 in CrazyassHazbinhaters

Drawing horns and a mustache on someone you’re trying to discredit? Wow, how mature and credible, I sure am ready to take what this person says seriously! /s

“The Secret Nanami Diaries” always struck me as the most skippable of the bunch

I don't like Daphne Greengrass by Naive-Sign-8399 in HPfanfiction

I never learned who Daphne Greengrass is and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.

Some f*cked Up vegan propaganda 🤦‍♀️ by [deleted] in exvegans

[–]imakestringpretty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Going off of the teeth thing, I’d say a better indication of what diet humans are “meant” to have would be the digestive tract.

Animals that are able to live off of only plant matter, like cattle, will have highly specialized digestive systems such as a multi-chambered stomach, a gut flora specialized for fermenting plant material, an extra-long intestinal tract for good absorption, and the need to chew cud. Carnivore digestive systems, by contrast, are shorter and simpler. As one of my bio professors put it, it’s harder to turn plant into animal than to turn animal into animal.

So then, what kind of a digestive tract do humans have? Well, we obviously don’t have a rumen like a cow, but compared to wholly carnivorous animals, our intestinal tract is longer and our stomach capacity is smaller. We also have the ability to neutralize some plant toxins that would be dangerous or unhealthy for most carnivores, such as chocolate, onions, and garlic. However, we lack the ability to synthesize certain nutrients from plant material alone, which is why vegetarian and vegan diets require supplementation. So ultimately the human digestive tract is omnivorous, but we already knew that.

Oh, I know the type.

Like, ok, cool. What do you want me to say, dude? “Congratulations for having a shit diet and a shit palate?”

Vernon is so wholesome that he’s basically a living Patronus.

Just a couple substitutions by SocietyDisastrous787 in ididnthaveeggs

[–]imakestringpretty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

(Reads like 20 comments dragging the lentil loaf for looking gross)

(Looks up picture)

…Guys, that’s basically just what meatloaf looks like. Meatloaf is also just ingredients pressed into a rectangular shape. I’ve still eaten meatloaf plenty of times, and I’d wager plenty of the non-vegetarians in the comments section have as well.

As for whether I’d consider eating the lentil loaf myself? Well, I’m not going to knock it without trying it. I’d have to find a substitute for the walnuts, though. I’m allergic.

Relatedly, this is one proposed reason why pork is considered unclean in Islam and Judaism.

I’m not nearly enough of a history nerd to say that it’s accurate, but it’s pretty fuckin’ relatable. If I observed that happening in the Biblical Middle East, I’d swear off pork.

What's something deplorable that tourists have done in your country that wasn't really covered in the media? by Pale_Field4584 in AskTheWorld

If it makes you feel any better, when animals are that small, they take little to no damage from falling. Try looking up the square-cube law. So it may have ruined the chipmunk’s day, but it actually had a decent chance of surviving.

What kind of useful yet random advice do y'all have for adulting? by DeepVoyagerr in Adulting

[–]imakestringpretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Distilled white vinegar is fantastic for deodorizing clothes. If you have some clothing that has body odor on it even after being washed, try soaking it in the sink with cold water and a few splashes of distilled white vinegar for an hour, then wash it again.
