  • As an American, I completely agree. It's gotten so bad that this attitude has leached from the suburbs where larger homes and kitchens exist into the city where there just isn't enough space. My friends think I'm being silly for not wanting an air fryer when I already have a convection oven or an instant pot when I already have a slow cooker and pressure canner. I'm very anti single use equipment or duplicate equip for the very reason that I don't have space and it's often a waste of money. But it seems like everyone around me just buys whatever and doesn't think too much about where it's going to go or how much they will use it and I just don't understand it :/

  • Yes and it's quite amazing. Not really anything like the original other than that it involves the Oregon Trail. I forget where, but there is a video game archive that allows you to play it in browser. Was able to play it for the first time in maybe 20 years and it was a lot of fun!

  • why

  • See... You have to get into the mind of a straight man from the 1950s and ask yourself one of 2 questions: Is this a woman's thing? Or would I fuck this thing? Cars are considered "beautiful" and "sexy" and therefore fuckable by a man. I hope this has been a good lesson in outrageous sexism.

  • Thanks for the suggestion!

  • Game library

    Jump

  • My friends and I started an "Indie Game Club" which is similar to a book club but for indie video games. It's really helped to branch out and try new things that I wouldn't usually try. And of course, if you finish the game fast enough, you can get back to the one game you have 10000+ hours in. But I'd say probably 1/3 of the games we've played I liked so much that I didn't want to stop playing and go back to my usual and used the whole time to just keep playing. It's been an excellent experience!

  • Why don't people return their shopping carts?

    Jump

  • I always return my cart rain or shine no matter how far away the return is. But there was one time I didn't when I moved to a new neighborhood and went to the local grocer for the first time. This particular store shared a parking lot with a hardware store. I parked in a spot I thought was on the grocery store side of the lot, but I guess not? I bring my cart out and I'm almost to my car when suddenly the wheels lock up and I can't move the cart anymore. turns out they have a system in their carts to prevent people from stealing them. But I guess the zone for that is up to interpretation because I really feel like I was parked on the grocery side of the lot even if off to the side a bit. I ended up leaving the cart and just walked my groceries to my car. I blame the store for not properly marking the zone or improperly setting it in the first place. Not much I could do about it otherwise.

  • What old movies hold up because of a lack of special effects or because clever use of effects?

  • I love Redlettermedia and that was a great series!

  • The fake sugar garbage has gotten out of hand. I had to start making my own granola because most of the granola had fake sugar in it. I'm glad I did tho. I can make it with whatever I want in it and no one can stop meeeeeee!

  • During COVID lockdowns, my husband and I started coming up with movie anthologies or themes we could watch so we would A) always know what to watch next and B) further educate ourselves in film. My favorite anthology to date has been John Carpenter. I had never seen a John Carpenter movie before and we went through all of them and it was a blast. But out of all of his films, The Thing was by far the most impactful. My husband and I both grew up on the Internet and are highly desensitized to gross and scary things. But we were both on the edge of our seats while also appreciating the masterful prosthetics and puppetry that went into that movie. I always have to warn people, that I can't recommend it enough but it's not for the faint of heart. Definitely one of the Great horror films ever made.

  • This is why I roll my eyes at people who talk about how healthy honey is. Like sure it's better for you than sugar for very minute reasons, but at the end of the day, it's still sugar. But you know... honey is "natural". Marketing is a helluva drug.

  • A more accurate description would be an "imbalanced" meal. It contains ingredients that would give you needed nutrients, but at the wrong levels. Too much fat and carbs, vs "vegetables" which are also processed and full of added sugar and salt. It's not the worst thing you could eat, but it isn't great. To your point, that's why moderation is so important.

  • Here's why bread making is the best hobby:

    1. Minimal equipment and ingredients to get started

    2. Amount of time is up to you. You can select a recipe that suits your needs. Plus you can go and do other things while the dough proofs and cooks, so if you make a 3 hour loaf, you still get some of that time back.

    3. Most of bread making is working on your skills and knowledge and is highly rewarding as a result

    4. You make tasty bread that will either contribute to your weekly pantry or makes a great gift for others.

    5. Store bought bread sucks ass. Once you start making your own, you'll never go back.
