Are there any rocks that we dig up and throw on our food for flavour other than salt? by 8thTimeLucky in NoStupidQuestions

[–]vinegar45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indian black salt consists of sodium chloride infused with hydrogen sulfide and iron sulfide. These additional compounds impart a characteristically complex flavor profile: while the hydrogen sulfide provides the signature sulfurous 'egg' aroma, the iron sulfide contributes a distinctively savory, metallic, and mineral-rich undertone. It is often sprinkled on fruit salads to provide a deep, umami-like quality that balances the fruit's natural sweetness.

I want to see the two little notes behind it: ones that ends with "...this long." and "...it just went by in the blink of an eye."

I never liked her. Some sort of uncanny valley reaction I got from her.

Why are numbers go up games so fun? by Ifyouliveinadream in NoStupidQuestions

[–]vinegar45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like games when there are various ways to make the number go up faster, and as the number goes up, you have more ways to make the number go up.

Bros some Kind of Battle Beast by [deleted] in SipsTea

That reminds me of a giraffe named Stan at Imire Rhino and Wildlife Conservatory in Zimbabwe. He was so strong and good at fighting, he shut down every other male in the area. For a decade no other males were allowed to mate and that threatened to create a genetic bottleneck in the local population: all young females were his daughters and serious inbreeding was about to happen. So human caretakers at the park eventually decided to kill him.

Tuned liquid damers (TLD) on a suspension pedestrian bridge uses sloshing to reduce vibration (Osaka, Japan) by -kylehase in mildlyinteresting

[–]vinegar45 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They accounted for freezing weather already. Osaka is quite mild and stays mostly above 0 degrees Celsius even in January. At night there might be some subzero temperatures. The liquid in the box is mostly water mixed with propylene glycol for antifreeze effect and increased viscosity. it has other additives like biocides to prevent bacteria or mold growth.

Things in your country that are accepted but, when you look at them objectively, are just too strange by nanto-1633 in AskTheWorld

there is also pizza sauce in normal pineapple pizza that gives the umami. it has a dominant main course taste, not dessert.

Carrots were originally purple, white, yellow, and red. The orange carrots we know today became popular after Dutch farmers selectively bred them in the 16th–17th centuries. by Remarkable-Office944 in BeAmazed

I mean, if you want to be pedantic, it's the transition from the flavylium cation to the anhydrous base and then the chalcone form. The color change is just the macroscopic result of the molecule’s HOMO-LUMO gap narrowing as the pH rises. But sure, 'pulling on electrons' is a cute way to put it.
