Teeth are bullshit. What do you mean you’re decaying. Get a fucking grip. You’re a bone now act like it. You don’t see my finger bones decaying from jerking it too much now do you
hey um are you guys seeing that columbia is threatening to bring in the national guard?
for those of you who don’t know, there were protests in the 1970s on us college campuses against the Vietnam War. At Kent State University, they called in the national guard, who massacred the protesting students.
This is an eerily similar chain of events. It’s mind-boggling that the US is so committed to imperialism that they would rather kill their own citizens than stop killing foreigners. More than that, that they would do so multiple times over, decades apart.
I hope I’m wrong and that the students will be okay. My thoughts are with them, just as my thoughts are always with the people of Palestine.

That right there is a good solid burger patty with the intriguing addition of middle eastern spices 👀👀👀 (and as we all know variety is the spice of life, and spice is the variety of food.) I’m also intrigued by how she put the patty in the pita(?) which makes it a sort of burger panini. It looks good and I am going to have to try it.
I want to make this for my family, but my mom’s pretty iffy on beef that is anything but well done (dry as fuck) so I’m wondering how to cook it throughly enough without burning the bread.
You can cook it in very thin pita with a thin layer of minced beef/lamb so that the meat is cooked brown all the way through in only 1 minute per side.
But also! Red Meat is “Well Done” at 160F/72C (white meat is 165F/75C). Bread actually doesn’t even toast until 255F/123C!!
So, if you make the full size patties in a frying pan on a low-medium heat, or an oven set to 300F/150C, it will take about 20 minutes to cook instead of only 3 minutes, but it will DEFINITELY not burn the bread, and the meat will be VERY well done.
Here is the oven based recipe I suggested elsewhere on the post
I’m curious as to what the spices/seasonings in the beef are cause I wanna make this myself so bad
There’s always fresh Parsley and Lebanon 7 spice (sabaa baharat), and then in the tiktok there’s also onion, garlic, and jalapeno. A lot of people also put in tomato, or tomato paste.
My favourite 7 spice is equal parts:
Cinnamon
Black Pepper
Cumin
Cloves
Coriander
Allspice or nutmeg
Ginger or Cardamom
But really, as long as you have the italicized ones, the others can be up to you. Some people use paprika and turmeric, some people use sumac and mint. It’s really variable.
Also if you don’t want to mix it yourself, a good Garam Masala will have all of these spices and a few more, and makes an excellent ready-to-use substitute.
note that’s coriander seed, not leaf (aka cilantro) - coriander seed is amazing, smells like a paradise lemon and is really good in porridge (aka oatmeal) - we’re one of those people who can’t eat the leaf, but the seed is really delicious and fragrant
internet shaquille made a super accessible video on how to make these, including the spice mix and what to use if you can’t access the exact ingredients! it’s quite similar advice to what the commenters put above, just in one handy video for your reference
executive dysfunction is legitimately physically uncomfortable. i’ll be trapped between two things, weirdly caught on how-much-time-it-might-take-me. i take hours worried im going to take hours doing things. i’ll sit on the floor for the entire day, caught up in the middle of not-doing the chores i actually do want to be doing.
& the amount of mental energy that goes into it. & the legitimate amount of anger and discomfort and self-hate. is not “being lazy”. it’d be a lot less work if i didn’t have to fight myself to just get up and do it.
i just need you to understand it’s not effortless. it’s never effortless. it’s not “okay let me just get up and finally start doing this.” it’s more like. i am slamming my foot on the pedal but the car is in neutral and nothing is moving. it’s more like shouting instructions into a dying telephone. it’s more like being trapped in a small electric box, and someone who hates me is administering shocks.
Wolves React To Gamekeeper Who Had Been Away On Maternity Leave
“WHERE’S YOUR PUPPY! WE WANNA SEE YOUR PUPPY! DID YOU JUST HAVE THE ONE? DO YOU HAVE THEM WITH YOU? ARE THERE PHOTOS?”
I’m not a hundred percent positive but I’m pretty sure this is the wild life center where I visited wolves.
And the safety briefing included the question “So if you’re pregnant, do you want to know or not?”
Turns out there had been a bit of an awkward situation once where the keepers had casually mentioned a woman’s pregnancy in a group, and she herself didn’t even know yet. Turns out the wolves are excellent at telling if you’re pregnant and the keepers can tell based on their body language. They get all odd and careful around pregnancy. (Even wolves knows that you have to take care of pregnant people.)
So they definitely knew she was pregnant.
And if I remember my BBC documentaries right, a wolf will leave the pack to give birth and introduce the cubs to the pack once she feels ready for it. And maternity leave is flexible but often around 6 months so they’re going “YOU WERE GONE FOREVER! WE WERE SO WORRIED! WHERE ARE THE CUBS?? WE HAVE TO GREET THE CUBS!!“
Also the two on her back are fighting over who gets to greet her first. Giving and receiving attention is a commodity that goes by hierarchy and if you don’t accept that there will be scuffles.. The wolf lying down next to her isn’t chill about her coming back, it’s just submissive to the other wolves and waiting for it’s turn to show excitement.
Now I can see why we domesticated these adorable jerks.
Wolf packs have maternity leave?
This is clearly a joke but yeah, when you have to nurse brand new cubs and keep them warm other wolves are doing the hunting. One of the many benefits to a pack structure.
When getting housing for a pet, please remember to get the homes of an adequate size. This is abuse
knights need at least a 5x5 enclosure in order to keep their stress levels manageable, and honestly that’s pushing it. 10x10 is a much more humane minimum, and you should allow them more if you can spare it, as knights enjoy “touring” around their enclosures and more space means a longer tour. if you don’t have the space a knight requires, consider adopting a bishop or a rook instead
I hate this because a chessboard is 8x8.
Chessboards are torture for knights!!
For those who are considering enrichments for their knights, here are some ideas you may consider if you:
Wish to add long roadtrips to your knight’s daily excercise
Need them to develop some muscle mass and increase their stamina
Want to introduce more knights to the herd
Or just feel like redecorating their standard size enclosure
Sometimes ur fat bc u were born that way. Ur parents are fat, ur cousins are fat, u always have been fat.
And sometimes, you become fat. Something happened (puberty, change in diet, change in ability, anything) and someone who was once skinny is now fat. This doesnt make you a failure. It just means ur fat now. Its okay. You didnt do something wrong.
i too have a pressing question: why are straights like this
“I came here to celebrate your loving relationship but actual demonstrations of that love gross me out so please, when you’re kissing your new spouse, remember to always be conscious of the fact that your love for each other is a bit icky and we don’t really want to see it.”
I know “60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction” has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn’t really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.
Salute to our troops (70s careerwomen who put their hard-earned dollars into homemade gay erotica)
I love how we’ve lost the plot so thoroughly on what “pov” means as far as a TikTok/reel/whatever and now it’s functionally the same as rod serling saying “imagine if you will”
i am not a smart fellow but i am wise enough to not ask for context to this.
saw this while exhaling my vape and started choking on it
[ID: A tweet from depths of wikipedia (@depthsofwiki) saying “I generally think wikipedia vandalism is unfunny and immature and I care enough about the sanctity of the encyclopedia to act like a total narc when people deface it. but there is one example that unfortunately makes me laugh every time I see it. so here you go.

This is your daily reminder to switch to Linux (never get malware/“a computer virus” again! Your computer will run much faster! Steam allows you to run almost all Windows only games through proton these days and you can run plenty of Windows only programs through wine.). Linux Mint is a good user friendly distro if you’ve never used Linux in your life. It is easy to install by following a step by step guide online and all you need is a USB stick. There are GUI package managers now (think like the Windows store) so you don’t have to use the scary terminal.
Writer: not quite as slick-feeling an MS Word, but perfectly usable. The sidebar is pretty great tbh. Does the whole seperation of formatting and content thing slightly nicer than Word imo.
Calc: look, MS Excel is one of the best pieces of software ever made. The entire world financial system relies on it. I’ve hacked together a working database in Excel, functions like structured tables are immensely useful even for normal admin workers. Calc simply can’t compete if you’re doing any real work. However, I don’t think any other spreadsheet program can either.
Draw: hidden gem for making flyers and posters. There are better options for proper graphic designers, but if like me you just want to drop images and blocks of text in the right place on a page then it’s ideal.
Haven’t used the rest of the suite in over a decade, I don’t do slideshows so can’t really test Impress. But in my experience i would say that the only office program that is good enough to keep windows around is Excel. If you’re not working with spreadsheets one a regular basis then Linux has good enough alternatives imo.
Because of the recent security incidents in the open-source community, and because your safety is our priority, Fedora 40 will start the transition to closed-source components, which we hope to complete in 2028. This will help us ensure that Fedora isn’t at risk from dirty open-source packages.
Additionally, for your convenience and experience, we will start collecting telemetry data. Because we value your freedom, of course, you will be able to opt-out of all 56 categories every month.
I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth
Open floor plans are a relic of post-war “we can consume as much as we want with no consequences” optimism. You know why old houses are full of doors and corridors and such? Because you can trap heat in just the rooms you are using, and not have to heat the whole house (likely sending it up through your high, barely-insulated, exposed-rafter ceiling in the process).
Consign open plan housing to the dustbin along with gas guzzling boat cars and other relics of the pre-oil-crisis era. Go green, go labyrinthine. With doors.
I literally just learned that male carpenter bees are usually the ones tasked with protecting the nest from predators. They have that little yellow bald spot on their heads, and they’re usually the ones buzzing and hovering near you, just kinda looking at you. However, the reason they hover near you is actually because they think they’re being intimidating, and they’re trying to scare you off. If that doesn’t work, well, male carpenter bees don’t have stingers, and they don’t bite, so they’re only defense mechanism to scare humans off is to bump into us over and over. Literally just fly full speed into us, head first, and hope it’s enough to scare us away. I love carpenter bees so much. 🥺 Truly the himbos of the insect world.
It’s honestly crazy that it took heat pumps this long to gain attention over resistive heaters when they’re literally just reverse air conditioners. Like, you could install a window AC unit backwards, and congratulations, you have the world’s first window unit heat pump. But noooo. Let’s spend copious amounts of electricity to generate trivial amounts of heat, or better yet, burn a toxic gas and give our children asthma. That’s soooo much better than adding a reversal valve to the technology we all already have installed in our homes, that’s been around since the nineteen-fucking-hundreds.
