Its because they ran into the loudest, most annoying vegans.

IDK how, maybe different areas have more militant vegans, or maybe they just roll with negative stereotypes and the algorithm bs that lets the worst folks float to the top of their media feeds.

I’ve actively sought out vegans because they have great advice on dietary restriction resources and as long as you’re respectful of their choices, they’ve been consistently so willing to share.

And they also really love a good breakfast, in my experience, like the local vegan group has just pages of discussion on good vegan donut resources.

I feel so bad for the younger folks these days.

Way back when, if Google couldn’t find it and we did some good Google Fu, it probably wasn’t readily available online.

Now, you know it probably is there, just buried in nonsense generated purely by layer after layer of people’s selfishness. And they never even knew it could be any other way.

Lol sorry, I totally misunderstood. But I’m learning so much about potatoes, so its a cool thread anyway!

I doubt it, seeing as all the cavity consists of tapered shapes. A mushroom would leave behind some evidence of being sealed inside, and the mushroom cap structure grows above ground, while spuds grow buried underneath soil. It logistically doesn’t quite check out IMO.

What I suspect happens in these kinds of shapes- and I see them fairly often -is that the potato simply expands as it grows, and it just pulls apart at some point of stress, kinda like a warped piece of wood.

Except its an oblate spheroid, so it “cracks” in the center.

This could be some kind of encapsulated material, I don’t know the details of how potatoes protect themselves from foreign bodies.

But, in theory, there could be some kinda dead fungus in there, slain by a potato-based void…?

Very robust post, covered most of what I’d say in a far more verbose manner than I have the gumption for right now.
Kudos

Pathos NetHack (The OG Roguelike’s very newbie friendly fork and UI)

Rogue Saga (A simple, bare bones Roguelike, nice for a casual run)

Orna (If old school Final Fantasy were Pokemon Go, and didn’t have predatory monetization schemes) Heroes of Aethric is its non-GPS sibling.

Most of my free android games came from when Amazon did its Amazon Underground thing years ago, so you’re kinda SoL on that, sorry.

Part of the reason they get so high up on nerd sites (And Reddit at least started as a nerd site) is that they hunger for power, and the right people are too shy to seek power themselves.

This would all be greatly relieved if communities asked for communities to nominate other members, and asked for the type of folks who are the types who would mostly only consider the position of asked/ or if they were write-ins.

People with the capacity but are looked over because they maybe lack the ego or self confidence to take such power.

This works especially well in smaller communities under 4K users or so, which kinda falls apart in our Big Internet world, sadly…

Lol try being a Roguelike fan.

You correctly tell people that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is a Roguelike and they look at you like you’ve grown a second head.

Sometimes this stuff happens, and there’s basically nothing you can do about it.

Well, its kinda like how dogs can be treated with a lot of cancer drugs people can’t- its largely a matter of longevity and personhood. Just load 'em up with stuff that’ll cause all kinds of crazy side effects in a decade or so, if they’re at least six, even in longer lived breeds. (assuming its a bad form of cancer in the first place)

Sheep don’t have to worry about the things people have to worry about when they aren’t going to have to use the same body for the better part of a century.
So yes, they do get sick, but its not regarded as the same level of devastation because its an animal, you can use harsher treatments, and you’re not looking at the same level of magnitude of suffering or life lost.

We also work a lot harder to keep a lot more physically frail individuals alive whom would otherwise just be dead if they were sheep. For example, I had a doting mother who got me medical attention for my frequent dehydration as a child, and I am now able to advocate for myself when I have those episodes.
A sheep who couldn’t tolerate something foul on some grass would have likely died as a lamb and have just been a sad statistic before they even developed enough to graze.

If we had much shorter lifespans, we’d honestly be some pretty rugged creatures. Our stomachs are only .5 less acidic than some carrion birds. More acidic than most carnivores.
No worries about preserving teeth or joints, eat what you want, its literally Yolo!

Our brains, vision, bipedalism and weird vomiting thing are pretty damn sensitive though.
A lot of animals don’t have such a vomit issue. Rats literally can’t vomit, iirc.

Even before data sales, though, a baseline, universal car never happened. Was there never a market or was a market never allowed to form?

Or perhaps the tech in a car really does advance faster than I understand? But then how would retro cars be street legal?

This seems like such a wretched inevitably. I mean, I guess we’re living it with phones, but it seems so unnecessary with cars.

Is there really no market for the same boring car, with minor efficiency tweaks, for, like, ever? I coulda lived with my 95’ Accord forever if the parts hadn’t been too expensive.

Do es the market really not want that, or do the manufacturers prevent it from happening?

Any Automancer please explain, I’m not car enough to understand.

The implication being that this isn’t your first thought on eating angels.

Been watching Hasbin Hotel? They have that whole Surprisingly hopeful song that veers into them.

Charlie tries so hard.

So you have strong feelings about trains?

Most fibers can deal with a lot of heat- nuke new stuff in 140-200°f.
And baking soda kills a lot of bugs, its good to keep some around your craft bins!

Its good to keep your stuff air tight, and divvied up into moderately sized bins. A little bead of silicone caulk spread around the lid to make a seal solid really makes a difference, and you can get it in handheld tubes- no caulk gun.

Ive heard too many horror stories of art history tragedies and had a room mate in college who had experienced flea trauma. I don’t want my felting to be ruined

I don’t know enough about the fediverse, but maybe a Magazine for legit online artist shops would be a good idea.

Maybe I’ll try making one once I’ve spent enough time to understand what I’m doing on here.

I mean, would it, though? having so much of the body involved in this way? Do you understand that, for birds, basically anything under the head can be misconstrued as intimate contact?
(This is the most awkward part of bird husbandry 101, especially when trying to teach children on how to properly handle them)

It’d be the bird equivalent of the Omegaverse!

Which sounds to me, a nonsexual asexual, like a nightmare. But is probably actually a viable xenofiction romance subgenre for someone willing to get a little weird. Well, from what I understand, most romance novels are a little weird?

Depends, really. Some just feel squicky about breaking copyright law.

NGL I kinda feel a bit obligated to be extra careful out of deference to a relative’s relationship to a lawyer, haha.

But in general, I try to conduct myself in the model of the ideal world I want to live in, if I can.

In the best world, there’s no piracy because everyone gets their fair dues, and users get fair access to their purchased goods. But I also ain’t judging others who do pirate or do other stuff with their own things, because we definitely don’t live in that world, and corporations do not deserve to have a monopoly on access to media like that.

And, really, its just not right. As a fan of classic, old games, I can’t respect not technically pirating entirely, when it means the loss of amazing games. Like the amazing 3DS Virtual Boy emulation projects! Or just soooo many classic, otherwise lost adventure games.

I’m probably not going to wind up playing those, but the world is worse if not for people technically pirating.
