What neat food eating tricks have you discovered?
  • If you enjoy eating snack foods with lots of food dye powder (mmmm hot Cheetos), but hate the fact that it stains your fingers, eat them with chopsticks. No mess on your fingers.

    If you struggle with your sandwich/burger innards sliding out of the bread/bun when you take a bite, wrap the innards in lettuce like a taco; place in between the bread/buns with the bottom of the "taco" away from the side you're eating. The lettuce should help keep the sandwich/burger from falling out of the bun.

  • I personally don't like the texture of kiwi skins. Even thinking about it is giving me the ick.

  • A well balanced diet
  • Someone contact Italy to get this man a prize; he didn't break the noodles!

  • Guess the Episode [Hard]
  • Is this when Krusty gets his knockers? He looks at least 10 years younger, plus the doc did his breasts.

    I think he's on the run from the mob in that episode. The one where he opens a clown college and Homer attends.

  • Guess the Episode [Hard]
  • I've been sitting here on and off for the last couple hours, wracking my brain for Grampa episodes. I have The Simpsons on in the background (as I am wont to do), but still couldn't narrow it down until this hint. Now I think I've got it.

    Abe gets a girlfriend at the retirement castle, but she's a hussy who only likes him for his access to a car (Homer's) and his ability to drive. When Homer revokes access to the car, she dumps Abe for another guy who has a car. She and the guy go on a trip and Abe steals Homer's car with Bart to follow her. Abe ends up confronting her in a surprise twist after making it seem like he was going to beg for her back.

    Did I get it? I'm still not 100% sure. Until this hint, I was heavily leaning toward the Flying Hellfish episode, since "battleship" and "military" are thematically linked.

  • CBS News says it will be up to Vance and Walz to fact-check each other in veep debate
  • what the hell Vance is

    A couch-fucking weirdo, from what I've heard.

  • A sorcerer appears and states that they will erase any one song from existence - which song would you choose?
  • Given the fact that your question has caused The Evil Song to get stuck in my head, Sorcerer, I feel you are obligated to erase "It's a Small World" from my mind and from existence.

    Please and thank you.

  • Guess the Episode [Hard]
  • Oh, this one is hard.

    My brain wants to say "you sunk my scrabble ship," but I can't remember anything else about the episode.

  • Sanders Files to Force First-Ever Vote in Congress on Blocking Weapons to Israel
  • Omfg I feel you so hard on this with a few people, but am fortunate to not be in Texas.

    "Never again," my ass. Those types of people mean only "never again for me and mine." Genocide is genocide is genocide, regardless of whether we're the victim or not.

  • Napping after their first vet visit
  • I remember your post from when you first found Boudicca! They look so sweet; it's nice to enjoy a nap after an adventure to the vet. 💕

  • Sanders Files to Force First-Ever Vote in Congress on Blocking Weapons to Israel
  • Fellow American Jew here. Very much agreed. Israel doesn't represent us, even if it tries to say it does.

  • Calif. Governor vetoes bill requiring opt-out signals for sale of user data
  • I voted for this guy before and thought I'd continue to do so, but the crap he's been pulling recently-ish has just confirmed for me he won't ever get my vote again. What a jagoff.

  • J.D. Vance Caught Lying About Egg Prices in Painfully Bad Video
  • The negative space between the eggs around his head in this image makes him look like he has pigtails. Saw it and had to punish/reward everyone else with it, too.

  • Selective rage
  • I like to think of it like a broken bone. Yes, your overall health is important; no one is questioning that. But if you go into the ER with a broken bone and the doctor tells you that they're going to ignore your injury in favor of telling you to take your vitamins, they're an asshole who doesn't care about your pain or healing your injury.

    Systemic racism is the broken bone. No one (except, perhaps, assholes and billionaires) disagrees that all lives have value. Saying "all lives matter" in response to "black lives matter," though, is saying "let's wilfully ignore the problem because I am clearly okay with the status quo."

    Edit to fix typo.

  • How to ensure pixel 8 pro stops backing up?

    Hi all,

    I have backups turned off everywhere I can find the ability to do so on my pixel 8 pro, but am regularly (multiple times per week) getting notifications that my Google storage is almost full. Lo and behold, every time I check drive, I suddenly have a backup that I have to delete, again and again. Does anyone have any tips? It's really making me regret getting a Google phone, since I don't need my phone connected to my email.

    Thanks in advance! :)

    Multilingual folks: what are some odd idioms in your language(s)?

    What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)

    For example, in English I might call someone a "good egg," meaning they're a nice person. Or, if it's raining heavily, I might say "it's raining cats and dogs."

    What android phones do you recommend and why?

    I'm upgrading because my phone is losing (lost?) support. I use a OnePlus 7 Pro and love it and wouldn't bother upgrading otherwise. I'd appreciate some recommendations of android phones you like, please.

    Thank you in advance! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)
