  • IIRC the forever chemicals are not the coating that stays on the pan. The Teflon coating is inert, the toxic part is the water soluble PFAS they use to apply it that would go away (away meaning everywhere, each and every corner of the planet) while or shortly after manufacturing, or with the first uses.

    So if you already own non-sticky pans don't get rid of them, but look for another alternative when you buy a new one tho.

  • So, is abolishing slavery and child labor an attack on freedom? Would it be more free a country where these are legal?

  • It's easy. You protect children from religion the same way we already do with alcohol, tobacco, porn, explicit violence... and all the other adult things. Developing problematic behaviours around these things is much more likely the younger you start. Religions know this well, that's why they start as soon as the child is born. It would be very difficult to convince an adult person to do crazy things for the magic man in the sky if it wasn't drilled since they were a baby.

  • Interesting. What is it?

  • fortune cookies, crab rangoon, and General Tso's chicken

    The other commenter specified 'European',as to remind that Europe is included in the term 'western', and I haven't seen any of these here.

    Also I think that calling a style developed by Chinese people, that had learned to cook from other Chinese people (and so on for many generations) '100% American' is debatable at least.

  • I think you're right with the kebab, I literally don't know a single person that calls them 'doner', it's always just kebab, and many kebab places where I live have dropped the doner as well.

  • G'day curd nerd! The cheese and desist thing was definitely a dick move by this Italian consortium, but iirc they later admitted that they had overstepped and ended in good terms with the Aussie youtuber.

  • they can't force you to make food a specific way, right?

    I see you're not very familiar with the eu. They can and they do, if you want to call it some specific name they force you to do it in some specific way, or to source the ingredients or even make it in a specific place. It does make sense, in a way, but it also can get to ridiculous points some times.

  • Excuse me, mate, but the only one licking boots here is you. You got stupidly aggressive towards a worker for trying to keep the government from stealing the fruit of her labor, which I (and anyone with a bit of brains that's not gorging the proverbial boot) would also do if it weren't for them robbing it from my paycheque before I've even seen any money and the costs of accountants and fees making it not worthy for poor people like me.

  • This is not a military budget problem, the thing is Spain, or France, Germany... have already powerful enough militaries to have ended the war twenty times over. But wars, as Ukraine has showed, aren't fought or won with money, but with lads being killed and killing the other side lads. The members of the European militaries live pretty comfortably, a pretty good wage just to play boyscouts, try telling them they have to go to die bleeding in the cold Russian steppe..

  • The only think I'm taking away from all this shit is that we need more trans roommates with the conservative kids.

  • Not just politicians and definitely not only Americans. No one spouting the 'violence is not acceptable' actually means it. They don't mean to abolish the police, military, prisons, taxes, mandatory school...

    It's just doublespeak, the violence I like is not violence so if someone responds to it with more violence I can condemn them, they are the violent ones not me.

  • Nta, and not shaming you at all op—I was twenty once too—this go for everyone that needs to read it: when someone tells you they're 'toxic', believe it (and fucking run).

  • Nah mate this is 100% American. We still remember how ye gifted two billion dollars to the dnc last year. Aren't you getting any texts asking for more money yet?

    This is not an 'America bad' take. We have our fair share of grifting in the rest of the world as well, but the American way is quite particular.

  • What are you supposed to do with the grease in the pan after frying the bacon and sausages if not frying the toasts? Also, I don't have a toaster.

  • I call them '..a brick, a power brick.. a charger, no, the part you plug..'. Lmao, I carry one of these, whatever its cursed name is, with me literally everywhere I go so I don't have to ask for the thing. I feel you sib.

    See also: portable USB memory.

    Edit: unless you need another thing! A power bank? 'This?' Taking out a brick. A usb-c cable? 'What?' Phone charger? 'This?' No, the cable.. thanks.. sorry this is usb-a I'm gonna need the brick as well.. 'the what?' Smh.

  • [Not a doctor, take with a grain of salt] This is the only reaction I would consider appropriate in that situation. Bees kill lots of people, you don't know if you're allergic until one has stung you, and anaphylaxis acts extremely fast, specially in the neck so close to the airways.

  • I'd say you're doing alright. When in doubt go to emergencies and let the doctors and medical professionals decide if they send you home, unless you're in America and this would bankrupt you that is. Better to be safe than sorry, specially with your kids.

  • The food scarcity is certainly not due to technological limitations, but we very much can't create food for free. The food you eat is produced by the very hard work of many people, most (probably all) of them severely underpaid. In a fair world it will be these people the ones receiving the fruit of their labor instead of some rich bastards, but I don't think food will be cheaper, maybe even the opposite.

    I understand the question, maybe you don't understand how the world works.
