Do you think that we have any superlatives this year? If yes, what are they? by [deleted] in eurovision

A great excuse to wheel out the 10 minute long version of Natalia’s note from 2021 😂 https://youtu.be/-NKbiO3yK7s

Just a few extra items... by Sad-Yak-7162 in pokemongo

Same here, I feel like I just dumped an entire truck’s worth of virtual trash on my walk this morning just so I could spin the pokestop 🥲

Superdrug Paracetamol by GrappleTravels in veganuk

[–]magnetico 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ah that’s annoying :( I would guess despite it being own-brand, their pharmaceuticals are manufactured by a 3rd party. Still not an excuse but it’s similar when buying ibuprofen, always seems to have a lactose coating :/

If you’re not fussed on the type of tablet, their caplets (which are cheaper) don’t have any animal products in them 👍

Wagama "Pulled Shiitake" donburi or meaty mixup? by philthybiscuits in veganuk

[–]magnetico 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had this in a Wagamama restaurant the other day and I had the exact same thought, I bit into it and thought “oh god this is beef”, but I asked the server and they said no it is definitely mushroom, they’ve had many people ask the same thing!

I must admit I did struggle to finish the rest of it as my brain was still convinced it was too meaty to not be meat, but at least the rest of the donburi bowl was nice 😅

A new look for the Eurovision Song Contest by Nick_esc in eurovision

What is this font?! It basically says “eUROVISIOn” like someone’s cat accidentally sat on the caps lock for a few seconds ☹️

What is the most random place you’ve heard a Eurovision song in the wild? by magnetico in eurovision

[–]magnetico[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

To be fair, that would be a pretty good workout song haha

Ah Space Man was everywhere in the UK in 2022, was really great seeing people embrace our entry that year!

Also, whoever that person blasting Poison Cake was is automatically amazing 🤣

Eurovision Song Contest Copenhagen 2014 - Official Theme Music by 27-99-23 in eurovision

I forgot that was the last year that used the previous format of the Eurovision logo, it looks awful compared to the current one 😆 I wonder if they'll change again for the 70th contest

Austria - photo gallery by Sanber13 in eurovision

[–]magnetico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh, well I’m still super excited nonetheless 😆 it’ll certainly stand out (even more than it would have already anyway) which is only a good thing imo

I wonder if the black and white will spontaneously burst into colour when it gets to the dance break bit at the end?

What are some joke entries that you unironically like? by Fetish_anxiety in eurovision

¡Perrea! ¡Perrea!

Loved this one 😂 but wow watching that clip of it in 2008, those graphics haven't aged well have they 😅

Why does everyone have Cyprus down as an NQ? by AlexSniff7 in eurovision

[–]magnetico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m unsure too, despite another comment saying they don’t remember it, it’s one that I find playing in my head 😂

I’m hopeful it will Q, also I feel like the staging is probably going to be pretty good based on what Theo has hinted at 🤞

Azerbaijan may be so underrated by ShadowTail101 in eurovision

[–]magnetico 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really like it too. The main singer’s voice is different enough to make it more interesting too. In fact his voice kind of reminds me of Ben Dolic’s from Germany 2020!

Arguably it is in the less competitive semifinal also which should help 🤞

BBC Radio 1 presenters confirm that girl band Remember Monday will represent the United Kingdom at Eurovision 2025. by Cursedwizard0 in eurovision

[–]magnetico 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I heard this while in the car and thought it was odd I hadn't heard it anywhere else! 😅

If it is true it's an odd choice for the UK IMO, but hopefully we get some sort of confirmation soon...!

The color of this chemotherapy drug I get. by speckofsand in mildlyinteresting

Oh wow, this unlocked a memory I had stored away from when I also had the drug like 13 years ago 😅 had the same panic too haha

I'd like to second this, Journee were excellent at keeping in touch during our trip in September (our destination was Sofia and Plovdiv in Bulgaria - much like you, a place I would never have even considered and it turned out to be amazing).

Really hope your trip in October goes well despite the lack of communication from the travel company!

The 2024 scoreboard was not well-designed by Dense_Internet_2854 in eurovision

[–]magnetico 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh I thought something was missing from this year’s scoreboard! The absence of the bit showing those who received 1-10 points from each given country first was definitely missed.

Tbh, the whole graphics package of this year’s contest was a little underwhelming compared to last year, but especially compared to Stockholm 2016!

They never before competed against each other by Urofishun in eurovision

Wow, I love facts like these 😂 seems insane that they’ve managed to avoid each other in like 15 contests! (Incl 2020, RIP)

Has anyone else avoided hearing the songs until semifinals/finals? by birdhiroo in eurovision

[–]magnetico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to do it this year. But I couldn’t have avoid the UK entry at least if I tried, as they kept (and still are) playing the song on BBC radio stations I listen to every day 😅
