I think a “landgull” would just be a pigeon

If my forehead doesn’t sweat then it’s not spicy enough lol

That’s exactly how I order it!

I get the hottest Indian food I can when I go out lol I’ve gotten so used to it that even the hottest stuff they have doesn’t seem that spicy to me anymore! I’ve started making my own dishes at home now with habaneros and I love it! I just made a post in another community with my new batch of pickled habaneros that I’ve been putting on everything lol

I don’t get it. Hot sauce just makes things more delicious

It sounds like the employees are the bottom level of some kind of scam. A company that has so little faith in itself that it forces their employees to act as customers is either on the verge of ruin or just completely unethical. They’re definitely getting some kind of kick backs from this.

I’m sure they have found some kind of shitty technical loophole that makes it legal somehow, but you might still report it anonymously to the employment commission since it is 100% unethical and a serious conflict of interests.

Either way if possible find somewhere else to work as soon as you can. Once these people have bilked you out of as much of your paycheck as they can they will decide your no longer a valuable company asset

That sounds more like a personal problem than an issue with the time honored Tooth Fairy method lol I never felt the need to rip out my own teeth as a child

What are you talking about all my pants have giant pockets that the whole phone fits in with room to spare

English Spanish and Japanese

People in power are actively dreaming up new unspeakable horrors to release upon the American public as we speak.

I’m sure there’s plenty more trauma to come

It’s impossible to say since no one has actually lived through the 2020s. It’s 2025 dude, we’re all right in the middle of the 2020s.

Parts of you probably will 👍

Everyone I’ve talked to who owned one has complained that the screen either gets a line in it where the fold is or delaminates.

I think it’s a fad that will probably die off soon

There are some aspects of life that make me wish I was born at a different time than I was, and other things I like now that I wouldn’t want to do without. I don’t think it’s as black and white if an issue as this makes it seem.

There are lots of different types of vinegar with different flavors and acidities. I frequently use malt vinegar, rice wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar when I cook and even as a condiment

I don’t see how it’s any different than using lemon or lime juice 🤷‍♂️

From Wikipedia:

The English word artichoke was borrowed in the sixteenth century from the northern Italian word articiocco (the standard modern Italian being carciofo). The Italian term was itself borrowed either from Spanish alcarchofa (today usually alcachofa) or directly from the source of the Spanish word—medieval Andalusi Arabic الخرشوفة (al-kharshūfa, including the Arabic definite article al). The Arabic form kharshūfa is still used in Maghrebi Arabic today, while other variants in Arabic include kharshafa, and Modern Standard Arabic khurshūfa. These Arabic forms themselves derive from classical Arabic حرشفة (harshafa) singular word of the plural حراشف (ḥarashef) meaning “scale”. Other languages which derive their word for the artichoke from Arabic include Israeli Hebrew, which has the word חֻרְשָׁף (khursháf). The original Hebrew name (see Hebrew: he:ארטישוק) is קינרס kinars, which is found in the Mishna.

The ongoing destruction of democracy and rise of a new Nazi dictatorship/theocracy seems like it kind of encapsulates all the recent news stories lately

When I’m feeling really down I have to either build something or fix something. It’s really the only way I’ll start to feel better. Somehow building models or working on cross stitch or taking apart an appliance to find out why it doesn’t work makes everything feel kind of “normal” again.

Because it didn’t make financial sense for them to buy it. The last I read up on the matter it seemed like Musk has lost quite a bit of money on it since he took over. Literally the ONLY reason Musk bought it was because he got into a pissing contest with the previous owners after he claimed he could run it better. He actually tried to back out of the deal a number of times but there was some kind of legal reason he was obligated to buy it after he made an offer
