The secret is dancing

Capitalist penguins do

You clearly weren’t there when the mountain broke its back

So sickening

This is truly some cheap geopolitical analysis, the article attempts to redeem itself towards the but, Jesus, talk about clickbait. They’re literally reducing half of a continent to a monolith, disregarding the specific reality and conditions of the individual countries. Africa is indeed a country for the BBC, it appears.

The lost syllables at the end of spoken French would like to have a word… Ideally a complete finished one, but we know that’s not possible

Is there any incentive other than showing who’s boss on the internet? I struggle to see how the amount of time and energy involved in moderating just one community, let alone multiple ones, are worth it just to get a power high. It seems exhausting.

This is now my favourite comment on Lemmy

If they were really applying critical thinking to bullshit, mainstream media wouldn’t be forced to literally put together entire departments dedicated to fighting fake news.

Next time someone is screaming at me, I will do the same. Grab a piece of chocolate and defiantly eat it in front of them

The smell when you run the lawnmower, though… Heaven

I love the texture of cooked romanesco, it’s as if potatoes and broccoli got together and decided to have a fractal baby

To go with designer sandals

Indeed. One can only wish to live in exceedingly boring times…

“Interesting” - the understatement of the century

About the MSG hysteria, it’s not even rooted in actual medical data, just run-of-the-mill xenophobia, which in itself is absolutely wild to me. It’s like a whole chunk of the population collectively decided to develop the palate of a toddler, turning up their nose to “foreign” food.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosodium_glutamate “Researchers, doctors, and activists have tied the controversy about MSG to xenophobia and racism against Chinese culture,[62][63][64][65][66] saying that East Asian cuisine is being targeted while the widespread use of MSG in other processed food hasn’t been stigmatized.[67] These activists have claimed that the perpetuation of the negative image of MSG through the Chinese restaurant syndrome was caused by “xenophobic” or “racist” biases.[68][69]”

Extremadura is not a plant-free desert landscape. Not yet, anyway.

You stop it lol

I wore a ‘No Doubt’ one, then Descartes caught up with me
