Yeah, good point, but that article isn’t talking about what’s in this picture.

Store-bought sandwich bread usually can be kept in the fridge without much change in texture. That’s because it often contains additives and preservatives that keep it fresh longer.

Oh, that Fremont. Like, troll bridge Fremont, not old Vegas Fremont.

Could have little tiny proto shrew cheese curds.

Part of it, too, is selective breeding (aka genetic modification, but that’s a dirty word).

Edit: I may be misinformed. I thought selective breeding was technically considered GM, but it sounds like only editing outside of breeding might be what qualifies. Didn’t mean to make this post about technicalities, just meant to point out that genetics has also played a part in arguably more palatable plants.

Combine that with the stupid piped-in engine noise (through the sound system) and you can make anyone feel right at home in last century’s technology.

No microwave I’ve seen has ever actually varied the wattage. It just essentially does pulse width modulation, so 60% power might be on (at full power) for 6 seconds and off for 4 seconds. It averages out to the desired power, but it’s not exactly the same as what it kind of implies.

I feel so lucky to have been here for this discussion today.

fuck yeah

Morocco?

That’s exactly what I did with it.

(Spoiler in case anyone wants to guess first.)

This is at >!Emo’s East in Austin, Texas. (I guess now they just call it Emo’s.)!<.

“it’s a car, not a church.”

I remember seeing a documentary or news piece or something about a woman who pivoted hers to “BISCUIT!” I really hope that was real. But I don’t remember how she got there, like if she had to trick herself that “biscuit” was offensive.

But is it a dead name? Last I looked, the URL was still “twitter.com”.

Cookie Monster in a toilet.

Always has been.

Many people dislike their own names, but I think SomeGuy69 is an awesome name, too. Cheer up!

“Glorious leader” sure sounds like a pretty direct reference to the Kim dynasty.

Does anyone not see a howling wolf there?

Fair question. I recall learning:

1. Unfertilized sex cells: gametes (egg and sperm).
2. After fertilization and during earliest cell divisions: zygote.
3. (something something): embryo.
4. (more something something): fetus.
5. (eventually): dependent you claim on tax forms.

Totally just my spotty recollection from school decades ago, but it seems to me like rudimentary biology classes have taught a distinction between fetuses, embryos, and zygotes for a long time.

The point I really want to make with my somewhat unqualified answer is that no one in my rural, conservative hick town was objecting to this knowledge back then. It was just stuff you learned, and most of us just seemed to take it as “nature is complex”. I don’t know why we try to simplify it so much as we grow up. Even agricultural types (farmers, ranchers) would probably not say a fertilized bovine zygote is already a hamburger.
