Simple. Just record yourself saying it and make listening to it a stipulation for eating you. It sucks you won’t be able to see the reaction though. I bet they’d chuckle.

Pretend that it’s any other earnestly held belief. I wouldn’t expect a chill Catholic community to be down with cannibalism jokes, I’d just expect them not to engage in purity tests or call non-Christians heathens. I’d expect that a chill Hindu community would remove “Holy cow!” comments, but they probably wouldn’t remove people for admitting they eat chicken or ban non-Hindus.

I would expect a chill vegan community not to remove comments from people who eat meat or to call omnivores “bloodmouths,” but jokes like “how do you spot a vegan?” or “I’m going to eat twice as much meat tonight to make up for you” would probably still get removed. I get that the second one seems harsh, but it’s a system of ethics for vegans, so it isn’t a joking matter for them.

Plus, all four of those jokes are way, way overdone.

Feel free, based on this comment section, we’d all appreciate it.

I don’t personally want to sort through that gore, which is a pretty common attitude for vegans. I suspect that’s why there aren’t more general spaces for chill vegans.

The problem is that people love to needle vegans, so it would just end up as gore.

The cat food thing was a huge jumble, I suspect things will calm down again a bit later.

Germany has an absolutely huge vegan and vegetarian population compared to other countries though, Berlin even more so. More rural areas of Germany are a very different story, but it’s still way more of the population than in most places.

Take this with a grain of salt, because it’s been more than a decade, but the only restaurant I could visit in the early 2010s in Heidelberg (!) as a vegetarian was an Indian restaurant. I’m in a different college town now and it’s like 20% vegan, but the age demographics are similar to Berlin.

If it’s just general media within media, that Ben folds five ass crack bandit song was fucking killer

Friendlys does! Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, we “cleaned” them by letting them sit in seltzer and then wiping them off before reattaching them. I’m only now realizing that we went to so much effort to do that, but using the same sanitizer as the soft serve machines would have been significantly more effective and easier.

It at least keeps things like black mold or giant bacterial colonies from getting hold, but it’s kind of pointless.

Is the hexagon a reference to something from a fantasy universe (I know it’s a reference to the pentagon in our world)?

I think the change came with Obama, but that’s also around the time I moved out of the place where I heard it all the time, so it could just be that that’s when my normal meter was reset.

Lol, I changed the order of the cent sign to make it more understandable for the reader due to the decimal.

You and I clearly have different priorities when writing.

Upright Jerker (en.wikipedia.org)
submitted 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by idiomaddict@lemmy.world to c/creepywikipedia@lemmy.world
 

Basically a reverse gallows with a horrible name

The upright jerker was an execution method and device intermittently used in the United States during the 19th and early 20th century. Intended to replace hangings, the upright jerker did not see widespread use and was withdrawn from use by the 1930s.

 

This is a spelling bee clone (or rather a fork, but the dev calls it a clone) that stopped updating a couple of days ago. Has anyone heard anything? It was my favorite version, so I’ll be sad if it’s gone forever.

The code for it is public (but I’m 0% tech-savvy and have no idea what to do with that), so it’s also possible that others have clones of it. If anyone knows of any (specifically of this one, not general spelling bee clones), that would also be much appreciated.

Edit: I went back through the archives and it’s probably vacation, lol. There’s a week or so missing from the last two summers as well. I am surprised that it’s not automated, and I’ll be supporting the developer as soon as possible, because that’s hella impressive.
