  • Soda.

    I've since transitioned to Zero versions of the drink and Rite and lite. Hinahanap hanap talaga ng dila ko ung sweetness ng soda. It has been a very long process (years), but the guilt is there, I've just learned not to listen to it lmao.

  • +1 for inter. Shet sorry I have had a weird fascination with fonts, and Gawt Damn you earn big bucks if you have good fonts in a font foundry.

  • TIL people can get high on fish. I do see the appeal for novelty. But to have casu marzu as a staple? Aw hell naw. I've seen too many films and IRL maggots to disassociate it from culinary nirvana.

    Then again, if this was a one time dare, I'd probably say aye. LOL

  • I am not intending to run this instance as a democracy.

    Points for honesty though. Glad I have a .ee account. .world is sorta "on the way but not quite yet there" fucked.

  • I'm not that educated on the subject, but last I've read (sparse and a long time ago), is that these plants cost a fuck-ton of money. We'll see how it goes. Now that you mention it, might as well watch a docu on this.

  • Personally I prefer Archivo Regular 400 and upwards and depending on use case, point size of the type can vary. The light versions are too thin imho. Futura and I do have some saved font collections but i forget the names. As long as the spacing between letters is good (aimed for readability, not for Taylor Swift quotes, with no attack on Taylor herself), shapes easily contrast from the background, provided that proper color is used too. Eh, but I'm just mindlessly rambling at this point lmao.

    Also, the all white and thin font is painful to look at (sorry). No option to customize to a high-contrast layout option? Me thinks Roboto would do well say in a dark background and neon colored font (thank you Microsoft VSC)

  • This is the soylent stuff, right? I dunno man, ever since I've seen the "soup" eaten on the Matrix, I said to myself to never just go full meals on juice. There's just something about being able to chew and enjoy your food (as well as the variety). I get it, it has everything the body needs, but tasting the way we want it? surely there's no harm in adding that (most of the time).

    EDIT: That being said, I've had a ton of fun preparing oat meal in various ways (sweet, savory, wtf, etc.)

  • Fun fact: i ate ensaymada once without knowing it was wayy past its edible date.

    Still alive (and a dumbass).

    I don't understand why people enjoy eating this. And, for the love of good food, don't watch this while eating/planning to eat.

    It's not as bad as some other food I've seen, but more on genuinely curious, as the video would say it is the world's most dangerous

    spoiler

    Cheese

  • On the fence with deactivating threads, as (thankfully) influencers haven't spilled over their junk content threads onto mine.

    But with the fediverse coming extremely close to threads, i might deactivate soon without even so much of a "hello who's there" post on threads lmao

  • So Angat Dam is reaching critical levels with El Niño just around the corner.

    Time to do the John Lloyd-Sarah Geronimo rain dance and let all the offkey singers belt out their greatest hits.

    How do you convince your friends to use the fediverse?
  • I unfortunately prefer not to. I'd rather they find it out for themselves. There is no problem with my friends, just that they might also spread it to their friends (some of which, well, if you'd see their fb feed you'd not want them on here).

    Then again, this being very "plain" looking kinda filters the chaff out, so there's that.

  • Thank you to u/theyawner for a good read on the urban heat island effect. Sadly, and ironically I might add, that the more we use technology to cool us down, the more we make everyone hotter.

    Sana we find a sustainable way to cool ourselves, apart from battling global warming.

    Wonder how it's like to stay in space?

  • Wala man lang safety net of some sort. Fucked either way.

    I fear that we may have yet to see the worst in people if things further go south, though I hope it reveals more of the best of the human race.
