I told her we were going to get married, and all she could talk about was frogs.
She said there’s these hills where it’s hot and rains all the time, and in the rainforests there are these very tall trees and right in the top branches of the trees there are these like great big flowers called . . . bromeliads, I think, and water gets into the flowers and makes little pools and there’s a type of frog that lays eggs in the pools and tadpoles hatch and grow into new frogs and these little frogs live their whole lives in the flowers right at the top of the trees and don’t even know about the ground, and once you know the world is full of things like that, your life is never the same.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something that you used to consider “cheap” that you can’t afford now?
3·15 days agoMy wife and I went out this year and the bill was $200 for a sit down Italian in our suburban town. I don’t even like Italian.
We did a tiki lounge more recently in the city and it was $150.
These are nicer ish places but like, that’s a lot.
You’ve heard of jumbo olives though right?

Yeah okay one of the most successful and impressive biological families go on
But it eats this weed that’s like everywhere that nothing else can eat
Wouldn’t that like, over populate and dominate the world?
Weirdly? Only on paper.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Which is worse: not wanting kids, or wanting them too much?

In universe the holodeck generates a certain kind of matter that can’t leave the holodeck. So your jizz goes into the holomatter lady who is then presumably disinterested atom by atom just like a teleporter. So your jizz gets dissolved into the ether.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Did the Reich...sorry Right understand that Colbert was making fun of them on the Colbert Report?
21·22 days agoI don’t think there is any question that it was obvious to everyone. I was a kid in a conservative household and got it. And I distinctly recall there being a mad magazine bit about Colbert before I was even in high school. So that implies the joke was widely understood by the child aimed reading audience of Mad Magazine.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The irony of arguing with someone who read about it in a history book vs. you having lived it
7·26 days agoI distinctly remember hearing:
There were rooftop cheers from a Muslim community in New Jersey.
There was cheering in Gaza.
That rooftop thing was a continual news cycle item for weeks. I recall it being debunked but none of the details.
I remember when he stepped on a lego and it hurt so bad he jumped up and down and hopped on one foot right into an intimate massage parlor and his credit card fell out of his pocket and he paid to exploit sex traffic victims.
Good times. What a nanny set of circumstances.
I’m kind of with you in that pink’s positions off but I can’t quite put my finger in why it’s off brand. It definitely feels off brand but I honestly can’t articulate it.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What can I add or do to make ramen noodles tasty on a budget?
1·1 month agoThere’s a ramen sauce that makes ramen soup I like. Add that to just the dry noodles they sell- not the packs of ramen- and it’s very economical and better quality.
Anything works in ramen. If you have a freezer I’d suggest ham is a very very cheap protein to add if you can buy in a large size.
Otherwise, sprouts are good and inexpensive. So are mushrooms. Turkey is cheap but in bulk like ham. If you’re aiming for less bulk chicken thighs are inexpensive and good in soups.
If you brine your eggs in mirin and soy sauce they will work even better in the dish.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I'm right and the other vegans are wrong
1·1 month agoI mean, a slave is a sapient being and a bee is an insect and may not even be sentient.
I guess arguing “the bugs just love working” and “the blacks just love working” strikes me as fundamentally different.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I'm right and the other vegans are wrong
1·1 month agoI don’t think there is a dietary restriction that doesn’t draw a complete arbitrary line at some point.
Fish isn’t meat is just the pope compromising with fishermen. Not eating an oyster but eating corn is a fairly arbitrary line as well.
If I understand you correctly you want the door to unlock when you’re at home and approach the door?
That doesn’t strike me as a good thing.
What the abalone issue? I’ve never heard of “live grilled” but I imagine it was tossed on straight from the shell? Was it flavor or ethical? I ask because I used to eat a lot of aboline as a kid and I really enjoy it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is the media hardly talking about the Patriot Games?
1·2 months agoBecause of this post I just tried to watch it.
I have checked three streaming services. I think it’s an espn exclusive which would make it one of the pricier streams. Maybe it’s just being heavily advertised to espn audiences?

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•You wouldn't eat a lobster... if you could fuck it instead
4·2 months agoI didn’t jerk off a crab.
