  • This was a fun read, thanks.

    It could be some people digest capsaicin more than others. I've had my fair share of the (I want to say) second highest types of spicy. Your ghost peppers, your birds eyes, Thai red chillis, etc. Hardly anything over a million scoville. I get the afterburn from some of it. But one time, I got a Nashville chicken sandwich from a hole in the wall place that popped up during COVID. It was so hot I was running around the room for half an hour, and for the first time in my life, I felt the spice in my urethra when I peed afterwards. I'll never forget it.

  • I know right? I felt like I must be losing my mind reading some of these comments

  • They're just as surprised as anybody, I bet they're all thinking "well shit, I just wanted to hate Jews. Now I kinda like em!"

  • Ooops

  • As long as it's weird on purpose, fine. Just don't be that weird by accident!

  • The bad faith of the right has been blatantly obvious for decades at least. There was no good faith argument for the war in Iraq, after all. It was just.. what they wanted to do, so they lied.

  • Often not the same idiot, but almost always the same mindset. Valuing women fairly threatens patriarchy.

  • I have never read anything so darkly trenchant at 7 am.

  • The director's commentary is so delightfully honest, right at the top he's like "so I'll be the first to admit, this film kinda got away from us,"

    Quoting from memory. But that was the gist.

  • It need not be steam. A group in China recently cracked supercritical CO2-based generators. No water needed.

  • Conspicuously mundane life as a new genre of psychological thriller

  • If the US government had an arcane tome with spells that can kill with a word, raise the dead, and grant wishes, they would protect it less carefully than this.

  • Slavery under the 13th amendment has been quietly accepted for over a century. Maybe normality itself is to blame.

  • Yes perhaps, but once my family has their UK citizenships sorted out, getting rid of our US citizenship is going to become a realistic option.

  • That's the main problem I have with western support of Ukraine, it all feels like just enough to take advantage of rebuilding after the war.

  • I know the casualties number is not "dead" per se, but even if you go by estimated dead at something like 325k the difference is staggering. More than an order of magnitude more deaths on their side. That's the cost of meat wave tactics versus a modern military.

  • I know someone who kept the destroyed specimen. It wasn't cremated, it was in (I assume) formaldehyde. I got to see it, once.

    I think if I had such a thing, I'd start a cabinet of curiosities.

  • Yo for real though. Even though I was born with UK citizenship, I didn't grow up here and I don't really fit in. It was hard at first, but life immediately made more sense when I mentally dropped the expat thing and started fully thinking of myself as an immigrant. I never did fit in in America anyway, so I have the mental framework in place already.

  • Clever.

    They're right though, it's the gen z equivalent of a laugh track.

  • You have to admit that is pretty thin soup, but lucky for you, daddy is tursty
