Don’t pull it too far, though, or else it’ll flip on its back and go nowhere.

They should just run with it and branch out into other types of bewildered animal pastries.

Fait point, but it’s a statement about the industry as a whole, not their own production. Even if they were to distribute profits evenly over the entire production chain of their products (which I agree they probably don’t), the industry as a whole would still have this problem.

Very happy to see that, thanks for the pointer!

To my knowledge, the problem is the same in the EU, but there are legal initiatives by some NGOs (NOYB) that argue that having only these two options (pay for subscription or consent to personal information being sold) should be illegal, and that newspapers should be required to offer a third option (pay only the amount your information would be sold for, which is only a few cents, without the subscription).

I’ve never had Mountain Dew, but I always imagined it would taste like shower gel or shampoo. The scents/flavors even have similar names.

He’s lying, lol.

The logo in the bottom right is from a German satirical TV show, so “fake” is a good bet (dunno though, haven’t seen it).

I recently bought a Brother Innov-IS and found it really easy to get started with. Didn’t think I would enjoy sewing this much.

Based on this dumpster fire of a headline, I think the take-away can only be that Siemens and other train manufacturers have to start calling their trains “OMEGA RAIL” and “CHUNGUS 3000” or shit like that so it’s worth a news article.

Historians will at some point look at this comic strip as a representation of “cringe” that predates the word that later came to describe it.

Come to think of it, one thing I truly despise about the current state of AI is its verbosity. You ask the stupidest question, and the response is always some multipage essay (or longer if you ask nicely) that looks all important but is composed of 90% filler and bullshit, until it ends with “In conclusion, …” followed by the actual answer. Enough intelligence to string sentences together ad infinitum but not enough to provide actual answers that fit the question.

English isn’t my first language. What does “tossing one’s hair” mean?

No, it would just be the 🤣 emoji in different colors.

I wouldn’t even call this “aesthetics”. Rather “conceptual homogeneity” or something like that. It’s what happens when you strive for a uniform look over a useful or visually pleasing one.

I swear my upstairs neighbors have bowling balls where other people have feet.

Oh this was a high-end model (medium-sized pan, wooden handle, cost about 200€). This is why I was so disappointed that it didn’t last very long.

Carbon steel, yes. Stainless steel, no (you can season that one too, but the coating will not stick to the pan well due to the steel’s smoother surface).

Funny enough, I made the opposite journey. Bought a LeCreuset a while back and had to toss it after 1.5 years, because the enamel started to flake off, despite great care handling/cleaning it. Replaced it with a cast iron skillet and am thoroughly enjoying its simplicity.

This is just Big Meme propaganda intended to take advantage of weak-minded people like myself.
