Lol if you didn’t care you wouldn’t be constantly complaining about it

Well now you’re getting downvoted for complaining about downvotes

Your “basic chemistry” doesn’t match up with the lived experience of the plethora of people that frequently use cast iron/carbon steel. And yes, it doesn’t matter what type of pan, including non-stick, if you want your food to taste good you’re probably gonna start by heating up some fat. You’re only building excess carbon in a cast iron/carbon steel if you leave on bits of burnt food and season over that. If you clean your pan properly (with soap and hot water, because that’s totally allowed), that won’t happen. Tons of people cook with cast iron/carbon steel every single day and have absolutely no problems with it. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying everyone should only cook with cast iron/carbon steel, all I’m saying is using those pans is way less finicky than you’re making it out to be.

Ugh. You wanna know the secret to cooking on cast iron/carbon steel? Just cook with it. Put fat in, get it hot, put your food in. It’s really that easy. Wipe it out when you’re done, rub some oil on it. That’s it. You can even cook tomato sauce in it, it’ll be ok. People have been using cast iron to cook all kinds of things, acidic and not, for literal centuries. This myth that cast iron/carbon steel pans are these delicate special snowflakes that need constant attention and maintenance needs to die.

Weird, all their responses just say Removed for me, like every single comment they’ve ever made. Can you be banned by one instance and not others or something?

Welp, we’ll never know now. Looks like they nuked their account

Vegetable breeders for the veggies that you get in a normal grocery store don’t typically select for tastiness/flavor, they select for things that can maximize profits - hardiness, shipability, production, etc.

This is a strong argument for bidets on public toilets

And if you work a job where you have days off or have vacation time, you can organize a field trip for yourself. Hit up a museum, take a brewery tour, go for a hike, make your own field trip. It’s one of the benefits of being an adult.

Huh. Well that explains why those are my two favorite positions

You know, as unappetizing as this looks, it probably tastes close to dipping a grilled cheese into tomato soup. I’m keeping my mind open, but good lord they need help with their plating.

Well of course it’s not gonna be true when you make up an incredibly unlikely contrived scenario that doesn’t follow anything close to a normal distribution

Would our spooks make up a lazy narrative to cover up for their spooks?

I definitely think our spooks wouldn’t want it known that their spooks were doing assassinations in our country and getting of scot-free, but I have to believe our spooks would make up something better than this

I don’t doubt that, but a lot of homeless people see living on the street as worse than living in prison

You and I hear life in prison, a homeless person hears shelter for life

The net is tightening? Lmao they’ve widened the search to nearly every metro area between New York and Atlanta

Taylor Swift probably has it better than most artists, considering she’s probably the most famous music artist on the planet right now, and even if you only make a small percentage off of ticket sales, a small percentage of an astronomical number is still a big number. I’d still be willing to bet the bulk of her net worth is in the rights to her music though.

I loved going into the Penzey’s near me. Just about every spice you could ever need, and my store had an entire section dedicated to different types of cinnamon from all around the world. The people that worked there were all super nice and helpful too, it was always a joy going in there. Unfortunately that location didn’t survive COVID 😢

Damn, I’m all out of skeptical-colored crayons, closest I have is incorrect-colored ones. Hope that’s ok

I was a K’Nex kid more than a LEGO kid, but I remember both my K’Nex and LEGO sets coming with manuals that had directions for making dozens of things, all from the same set. That shit was awesome, and was a really good way to teach you the creativity and skills to go off script and make your own creations. Buying a LEGO set intended to make one specific thing seems counter to the original purpose of the toy.
