For using volume measurements (weighs are still superior tho) flour shouldn’t be packed in but spooned into the measuring device and leveled with the back of a knife but brown sugar should be packed into the measuring device.

In recipes, they’ll call for a heaped teaspoon or tablespoon, everything else is implied to be leveled, especially leavening agents like baking powder/soda. There’s also an understanding that certain things don’t need as much precision, like adding in flavoring extracts.

I also do really like the nice even 25° increments that recipes align to for farenheight.

Why must you bestow this cursed knowledge upon us?

You’re asking an age old question about humanity that there is no answer beyond “humans are horny motherfuckers.”

There’s a lot more that Buttplug.io supports. It’s an entire open source framework that others can build stuff onto to control sex toys. As for why these? Eh why not? Single player games don’t exactly require the consent of other players if you’re getting your rocks off to game controlled sex toys, and multi-player games should only be used if you do actually have consent.

Specifically for ultrakill’s officially supported mod, that’s just the kind of thing they’d do. They also made body pillow covers of Gabriel and V1 as official merch. And yes they are in those kinds of poses.

Yup and Ultrakill has an officially released mod that integrates with Buttplug.io.

That’s the way it is with every platform, you only have a comparatively small proportion of people who do a huge share of the posting.

Reddit has the advantage of being absolutely massive that the power posters is also still a huge number. I’d imagine even the biggest of entire Lemmy instances is smaller than some of the major subreddits, which personally I’m fine with. This emmy instance isn’t some major corporation beholden to growing value for shareholders at all costs, but on the other end it still doesn’t mean the admins can do everything without monetary or labor support from us.

It’s not that it’s hard to learn, it’s that we don’t have a strong intuition. It’s not that difficult to know there are 12 inches in a foot and 3 feet in a yard or that metric is entirely based around factos of 10. But its the intuition of what an inch looks like, what a pound feels like to hold in you hand. Most people wouldn’t be able to pick up an object and say, “that weighs about a pound” or look at an object and say “that’s about 3 feet long” but a lot of people do have an intuition what an energy drink can looks and feels like and can imagine getting hit by one, a lot of people have picked up a pineapple at the grocery story, people have the intuition of how big a football field is or how big a city bus is.

We do such a shit job at teaching our own actual measuring system that nobody has an intuition what a pound feels like, what an inch and a foot look like and how to scale those up. So we resort to objects and comparisons instead of actual measurements.

Because our perception of ninja is based around kabuki theater and not historical accuracy. Kabuki theater stage hands were always dressed in black to blend into the background. When an ninja assassination would happen in a show, the “stage hand” would do the assassination because the audience knows to kinda ignore the stage hands during the production.

IRL ninja would just look like normal people, waiting for the right opportunity to strike at someone.

I see it as they’re like master painters, just because you can see their brush strokes on the canvas, doesn’t mean it wasn’t masterfully done.

The CIA wants people to know what they’ve done but without giving away what they’re doing now and that’s what the CIA is really good at. It’s why things like Trump taking the classified documents with him to Mar a Lago was such a huge deal, because they contained secrets that are still in use today and has led to a number of our own agents getting captured or killed.

There’s legitimately good twists and turns to it as well.

Its a high effort, high quality shitpost and honestly a good example of storytelling without any dialogue or text, told completely through action.

I’ve usually seen this meme used as the generic old white guy cosplaying as a blue collar worker.

Raised catholic here too, maybe catholic guilt but personally I think it’s more so the pervading idea that people implicitly aren’t allowed to exist in a space outside the home or offices unless they spend money and by walking out without buying anything bypasses the normal routine of going to a store to get something and going through some kind of checkout process.

Yeah… Wasn’t that the point? Like Normies are people who’s aren’t terminally online and function in normal society.

While good, indictments are only one step in the legal process, they are not the end result. Most people were not confident we would even make it this far into the legal process with how much the justice system favors those with money and power and this situation has literally never happened in our history. We have never had a former president indicted for crimes.
