@dundereloise I saw a video about how barnacles of all things are apparently a protected resource so the fancy lads in California are only allowed to harvest a certain amount each year. Naturally they're fine dining now

I'm cheap so I thought I'd never go to a Michelin star restaurant, but yesterday I got to go for free. One of their courses features plankton. Yes the little floaty things that live in the ocean. Yet another win for my horseshoe theory of dining. I could imagine some destitute fisherman settling for plankton on days he doesn't manage to catch a fish.

Horseshoe Theory of Gross Animal Parts Both the poor & the rich eat gross animal parts. Poor: tongue, tripe, oxtail. Rich: foie gras, escargot, caviar. But tongue & foie gras arent different in kind, theyre just eaten by diff. groups for historical reasons + economic happenstance

@TheCinesthetic No one *hates* Waterworld, it was just a box office flop. It's a fine movie
English
Waterworld (1995) is over-hated. Strip away the budget jokes and what’s left is a huge, strange, ambitious adventure packed with real stunts and a fully built world. It’s messy, but there’s way more movie there than people remember.

What is the most unfairly hated movie that you will defend every time

@richimedhurst i think the Iranian missiles have pre-programmed strategic targets
English
How is it Iran are firing salvo after salvo of drones and missiles and never seem to flatten hospitals, schools, and media tents?
Do Amalek have better aim or just less genocidal?
English
I’ll believe it when I see it.
But if it is true, it would signal Paramounts new direction is just the old one with more debt.
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse
The Tachyon Pulse Podcast is reporting Paramount/Skydance is "close to a deal" With Alex Kurtzman, which would include Starfleet Academy Season 3. Would Star Trek survive this if it happens?

@citrushemlock she drops a bag of sex toys on the floor of his house on their second date. it's very hard to not see it as a least a little bit of a humble-brag.
English
i really dont get sabrina carpenters thing. the aesthetic is like shes a sexy cartoon mouse who acts like a prostitute and also a baby. all of the songs are about how she needs to get stuffed by some oaf and they all sound like say so by doja cat but 70% worse

It was created by a video game designer on the spot because there was no Arctic flag, and it just kinda stuck. That’s it.
₿en Wehrman@benwehrman
Why is the Antarctica flag (🇦🇶) the only flag in the world that's just a giant picture of the country? Isn't that a little weird? Almost like its designers are intentionally pushing this imagery everywhere as a weirdly-forced conditioning effort 🤔🇦🇶

@ThatBeardedGu20 @AI_EmeraldApple we really have no way of knowing how they arrived at the number. maybe they just keep it below 100 so it looks more 'plausible' however ludicrous
English
@WagglyCocks @AI_EmeraldApple Then their vote wouldn't be counted in that statistic.
English
The couragous 0.7%...
I really would not want to know what their fate is in North Korea.
They say that "execution" in that country is the easy way out...
We hear rumors and snippets of information from their prison system of vile human rights abuses that would probably make even Stalin blush.
There is this thing called the kwanliso... a political prison camp where many political offenders, along with three generations of their relatives under the "guilt-by-association" rule, disappear forever, facing a fate worse than death.
Lethal labor camps, guaranteed starvation, physical abuse beyond imagination, and no medical care... a total generational erasure.
Imagine the conviction of will someone must have to do that, knowing the fate that will follow.

BREAKING: Kim Jong-un has won North Korea's parliamentary elections with 99.93% of the vote.

@Anarcho_Dudeist Hot take: it’s not that bad. It deals with his character and hers. Better than neelix episodes

I'm at the Voyager salamander episode.

@bitcloud I can’t articulate how much I love this game. There are sidequests that bring me to tears.
English
First game I ever bought was "Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire", purely off the box art.
It's still one of my favourite games of all time.
Robert Morrison@RobertAnim8er
Going to arcades growing up was magical. Going to the computer store and buying an unknown game based off the box art alone was magical. The feeling can’t be explained.

@SammyClipz She’s so pretty it hurts me to look at her. Like a chest pain for life that’s too good for me.

I looked at the fantasy rpg field and just decided to completely avoid it. That’s why the rpgs I worked on are all different settings. Call of Cthulhu & Ghostbusters, & Superworld are modern-era. ElfQuest is the Pini’s world. Hyperspace rpg (in progress) is science fiction. I’m staying out of it.

“ OMG XYZ tech company just laid off 40% of the company!” 40% of the company:

This story is nuts. This guy, Igor Komarov, the son of a Ukrainian crime boss, was kidnapped in Bali 2 weeks ago by some people who said his dad stole a ton of money from them.
They broke his legs, cut off his fingers, and tortured the hell out of him and made him film a bunch of hostage videos disclosing how his family’s business scams people.
Anywho, he’s dead now. Dad didn’t pay the ransom. Crazy stuff.
English
@SandyofCthulhu ooh fancy pants here also has money for more, might as well put some pace nearby. or some caspian sea ro while you're at it

Please consider adding a pickled jalapeno ring to each chip. You can buy quite a large jar for $2-3.

Ohio's Great Wolf Lodge is launching a limited-time ranch dressing milkshake It's topped with crispy chicken, carrots, celery and whipped cream

@bencooper I was at the tail end of that. First "family" computer had a 3.5" drive, but a lot of the games you'd buy at the time came with both mediums. Very considerate!

Show your age by remembering when floppy disks were really floppy.
Andrew Hilary🇵🇸@AndrewHilaryUS
For those too young to have ever used one, floppy disks were not as floppy as you’d suspect.

@uplvls @zelinarxy Silver hawks? The 80cartoon? Or captain… something
