lime!

honestly, if a restaurant has many different pizzas their base tends to be bland. i’m not sure the same applies for ice cream.

i live in sweden, if a pizza place had less than a hundred different pizzas i’d be weirded out.

just to be the first to say it, vanilla is a complex flavour which makes incredible ice cream if done right.

the flavour you’re thinking of is “milk”.

the guy who got stuck in a block of ice during a ted talk, yes.

he’s my favourite quack because he claims that his training regimen is the reason he can handle the cold, even after participating in a twin study where his twin brother turned out to have exactly the same resistance despite never doing the training…

“the suffering is what makes it special” is a simplified way of saying “the de Beers company ran hundreds of advertising campaigns with the express purpose of convincing people that lab diamonds, which can be made perfect in every way, are inferior to the products of their blood diamond monopoly, and since the resulting stone is the exact same the only thing we can assume they mean makes it better is the slave-labor used in their extraction”

they would have to have had a hell of a childhood

but you told me to check the boxes! i’m a nerd for following instructions now?

i mean, yes it definitely is positive about eugenics, but looking at mike judge’s other works i’m not sure it was… on purpose? like, the guy has a super diverse set of creations with social commentary as a through-line, usually mocking authority and conservative views. king of the hill, office space, beavis and butthead, extract… he swings wide.

it doesn’t debunk, it raises additional questions. if you’re all in, “it’s a miracle” is a good enough explanation.

for what?

a fool, until someone believes you.

i was thinking about this the other day. i know the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is disputed but i think there must be something to linguistic relativism. like, in english words describing wealth are all tied to “worthiness”, and we talk about being wealthy as being more good.

in my language words describing wealth are all tied to effort: the ability and/or will to do something is “förmåga”, and if someone is wealthy they are “förmögen”, which i’m not entirely sure of the conjugation for but intuitively i read it as “has expended effort”. this is a more neutral term, and our class divide has historically been much shallower than the anglophone world. of course this is mostly due to different social systems but… why were they put in place ho begin with?
