    Somehow, without the aid of nuclear devestation, people have managed to reset to Year 0. Just “rediscovering” shit that already existed as if it’s new tech. And then try to sell it to people.

    It’d almost be funny if it didn’t make me so fuckin mad.

      I figured out something absolutely crazy. You can put vegetables into the ground, (you know, the dirty thing outside?) and they will literally just start making more of themselves.

      Also, you know all those naked people outside with too much hair and extra legs instead of arms? They’re made of meat!!! It’s true!

        I have seen variations of the vegetable innvoation in the wild, although you can never tell when things are ironic anymore

      Have you noticed more and more people “blank behind the eyes?” I have. Like a real life ai model.

        Oh god no, I don’t talk to people in public any more.

        I have repeatedly gotten “oldman yells from porch” angry when seeing a string of "peak"s and "absolute cinema"s in the comments under any form of media which, at best, can only claim it wasn’t trying to sell me something. I won’t get further into that because it’s not productive and probably sounds elitist.

    “Stomach is thriving”

    They don’t even try to form coherent thoughts anymore, just buzzwords to sell your current “brand”.

    I’m convinced that everyone who starts one of these weird diets and feels better has a random food sensitivity that just happens to get cut out by their diet.

    Like, you feel way better on that crazy carnivore diet where you eat only meat, but it’s cause you have undiagnosed celiacs and eating only meat happens to cut out all wheat.

        I’ve thought that because of my celiac tests coming back marginal and all the other issues I have, but I get wounds on my skin that take months to go away and severe anxiety from gluten which I don’t think can be caused be fodmap sensitivity.

          For me it’s more about solid-to-liquid ratio, soups are often “thick” but still liquidy overall. Stews are cooked down until there’s basically no broth, essentially just a gravy. My personal distinction is that stews can be eaten on a plate, soup can’t be.

    This reminds me of when I was doing chi gungs with a YouTube monk, until he started making bizarre claims that I’d never get sick again and my body would magically heal itself. It did not.

      Stew is thicker and chunkier. Generally made by slowly braising a big ole hunk of otherwise inediblely tough meat for a long time in some kinda liquid. Soup is generally thinner with little bits of whatever the fuck you have laying around tossed in to a broth or stock.

      Chili is a stew. A bisque or chowder is a soup.

        I think it’s more that a stew is a kind of soup. Bisque is a kind of soup, chowder is a kind of soup.

        The real question is how many noodles can you eat it with before you have to start calling it a sauce.

          Bolognese “sauce” is actually a stew and you just dump pasta in there. Don’t use spaghetti for it tho, spaghetti are for actual sauces.

        How many lentils do you have to put in a lentil soup until it becomes a stew?

        Edit: In my mother tongue “thick soup” is an alternative term for stew, even though a rare/regional one.

    If you want to do “water based cooking” for vegetables try steaming instead of boiling.
