  • I recognize a decent number of people, lots of famous frequent posters have already been mentioned but I also tend to remember trolls and people with bad takes.

  • I grew up catholic and was sent to catholic school and this is what we were taught. That the creation story is metaphor, the catholic church believes God used the big bang and evolution to create the world and people, ect.

  • the secret 9 out of 10 doctors want you to know is there are untrustworthy Sam Altman in your area!

  • Hasn't google pretty much always supported Mozilla/firefox? I was pretty sure this was the case since basically forever.

  • It's 90% bots and the few people left are sticking their heads in the sand to everything, honestly I'd say it's sad and pathetic.

  • I'm gonna be real this has given me a fight or flight response I wasn't aware is possible.

  • It's a(n old school) runescape joke. 99 is max level, level 92 is halfway to 99 in terms of total exp needed!

  • Yeah! It's like salt but for savory things. There's a pretty good chance that if I'm cooking with salt and pepper, I'm making something savory, and in those cases MSG improves the flavor of it basically always.

    For example: I frequently air fry broccoli. As a base, I toss it in olive oil, salt, pepper, and MSG. If I want it spicy, I'll add red pepper flakes. Sometimes I substitute salt for season salt for a different vibe. Other times I add garlic powder, or make a balsamic glaze for them. No matter what it's prolly gonna have salt, pepper, and MSG.

    It also goes really well on meat in general. Some cuts of beef don't really need it cause they're super savory to begin with, but especially some of the cheaper cuts that aren't as flavorful.

    Another big one is chicken breast. Thighs have more flavor, but when it comes to texture, I like the chicken breast meat better, so in order to boost that savory chicken flavor, I'll add MSG.

    It's really hard to describe it, MSG is literally just like, pure savory. It's not quite a salt replacement, tho i could see someone calling it salty, but it really boosts that savory/umami flavor.

    Honestly the only time I don't add pure MSG is when I'm cooking with things that have it included already. A lot of asian food has MSG in ingredients like fish sauce and oyster sauce, it's totally possible to boost the MSG content of a dish without sprinkling msg onto it.

  • Some top ones for me: MSG, Chicken Bouillon, Smoked Paprika, Thyme, Garlic powder, and finally, controversially, bay leaves.

    MSG goes in basically anything. If it gets salt and pepper it's probably also getting MSG for me. I do a lot of chicken, and whenever I do I'm almost always adding some chicken bouillon to add some flavor to it. I really love Thyme, and find myself just adding it somewhat randomly to things. Smoked Paprika is a perfect flavor that's so unique, I add it to anything I want to have a bit of a kick, like chili, ect. Not that it's like spicy or anything, just it adds a little something to those dishes that you can't really get elsewhere. Garlic powder is an all around great utility, and I tend to "dump" this stuff on things.

    Last but not least, Bay leaves. I swear, I'm like the #1 consumer of these things. I throw them in anything. Anything savory with a decent sauce/soupy base is PERFECT to add a bay leaf to. If you use em often you can really taste the difference, since fresh bay leaves really pack a punch in flavor.

  • I have a bathrobe i can throw on in like two seconds in my room on the way out

  • Not to be that person but... source? I don't follow this topic much, but I imagine its actually a very small amount of peolle being amplified into a way bigger issue than it actually is.

  • I only know "roly poly" that's the grade a American word for these lil guys.

  • This will give me nightmares I fear.

  • to be honest I really didn't mean to trick you into answering but your edit made me burst out laughing. Good thing i don't operate on Fae rules, cause I think you'd owe me a soda or something.

  • I mean it's gotta be extra sour right? At least then it kinda goes with the fruit themes I associate with jello, heck it might even be pretty good...? Maybe I should go make extra sour jello.

  • Uhhhhhh... serious question here, is it not...?

  • Well, yeah. Most people would much rather spend their time and energy taking care of their children than laboring away for someone else's profit. They may not phrase it like that, but raising children is far more self-fulfilling than working a job could ever be for most people. I imagine in most cases, people prefer tons of hard work raising a child when compared to working the easy cozy job, because at the end of the day the job is just a means to an end.

  • Ok that's true, but flaming hot and extra sour are both delicious, Jello is just kinda... Meh.

  • I was kinda hoping I'd read the article and it would be a modern day "a modest proposal" but it doesn't seem to be and now I'm sad.
