Runk means masturbation in Icelandic so that adds another layer of hilarity to this

Well said!

I went on a 2 week holiday earlier this year and I barely took a single picture lol

That’s definitely the case since I can’t read Chinese lol

That’s super interesting! I barely know any Chinese and probably just assumed the characters were for language instead of numbers.
The public transit system used arabic numbers (maybe as well as the Chinese characters?), so at least that was easy to navigate lol

When I went to China about 5 years ago, all the numbers were Arabic numbers. Not sure if this is a regional thing, or if this is a more recent development.

A catapult can buy many peanuts

That’s perfectly fine, I use soap because I eat meat and my gf is vegetarian so I don’t want to leave any grease. Also I find soap just makes it a bit easier to clean.

Dude, you’re not supposed to scrape off the seasoning every time you wash the pan. I reapply a bit of oil maybe once or twice a year. I normally just wash it some soap and water after cooking.

I slept in my car on public rest stops while on a road trip in Norway.
IIRC you can sleep in your car there for two nights, which I never ended up doing anyway because I was travelling.
Public rest stops are amazing, there’s usually pretty clean toilets, benches for picnics and sometimes even showers or a lake to bathe in.

I broadly agree with you, but it feels like cinema is shifting back to quality again. We’re all tired of shitty superhero movies and many of the recent ones have bombed at the box office. Hell, one of the biggest movies of last year was mostly about men in suits talking about science and it was great. Dune pt. II is also an incredible breath of fresh air and shows that it’s still possible to make a massive blockbuster with mass appeal but also a strong sense of style and integrity. I really hope this trend continues because I want real cinema and not mere ‘content’.

Hell yeah. Unfortunately they don’t grow where I live, but we have plenty of Porcinis and Chanterelles which taste amazing

I never pick any mushrooms which could potentially be confused with anything toxic. Even if I’m 99% sure, that’s not enough.

Last year I picked a huge amount of mushrooms in the forest, dehydrated them (you can buy a dehydrator or use an oven) and ground them to a powder.
I put mushroom powder in damn near everything I cook, gives it a nice hit of umami.

This is classic greenwashing. It’s the smallest possible gesture a soda company can make to show that they “care about the environment” while not making any actual change to be more eco-friendly.
Same thing with those awful paper straws. Are you really asking me to believe that a massive burger chain can neutralize their footprint by giving you a straw that turns soggy in minutes? The straws were never the real problem, but it’s the smallest possible step they can take to seem eco-friendly.

I always read it as an Ð, which is am Icelandic letter. It kinda sounds like the “th” in “the”, so I read it as “Thisney”

Also, don’t greenlight 100 shows if you only plan on giving 5 of them a second season, and you base that decision entirely on algorithms instead of genuine human feedback.
And please, for the love of god, let me look at a movie for longer than 1 second before you start automatically playing it because your almighty algorithm determined that it would force users to pick a movie faster. It’s the most annoying “feature” that makes me inclined to avoid Netflix as much as possible.

Yeah but I ran out of those unfortunately. The ones I have left get a drop of moisture and the glue completely dissolves

Same picture

It worked just fine in Infinity and on a desktop browser, never in the official Reddit app. But I guess Reddit couldn’t stand the fact that a free, ad-free app worked better than the official app.
Also Lemmy loads WAY faster than Reddit these days
