Didn't this exist already?
If you've never done this, I suggest giving it a try:
A medjool date that's been soaked in hot water, then take it out of the water, place it above a bar of dark chocolate of the same length, and eat it together (like nigiri) in one bite.
I say it should be dark because the date provides all the sugar and milkyness you'll need.
You'll want to chew on that forever 🤤
It's precisely rotation through the higher dimension that cannot be undone in the lower one. So.. nice thought, I think?
And yet, in the end, it was Amerigo Vespucci who the entire western lands were named after.
They're bringing back people from the dead when America used to be great
What other way is there to respond to this?
I got: "We only use 10% of our brains. Modern neuroimaging has shown that we use most of our brain." In the 90's I thought this was not in fact, but urban legend, the whole time.
Also: "Christopher Columbus discovered America. Indigenous peoples had been living in the Americas for thousands of years before Columbus arrived." I didn't realize that it was implied no one was here when he came.
One could argue that it's their best life. To be richer than rich, one would likely get poorer in spirit. There's a reason the root of many evils is the thing that it is.
I can't imagine why it would feel bad for others to not be starving to death while they did reasonably well - which there's room for!
"Anne Frank's Diary, too sexual? That sounds like 'Tucker Carlson, too athletic'" I lol'd.
That a truth of our time is that the fate of so many rests on these relatively few idiotic swing voters speaks to just how terrible the state of affairs have become.
That sounds like such a neat childhood! I wish I had those documentaries growing up.
Same as it ever was?
When was a time you consented to spoilers for a movie/tv/story/game and you regretted it?
BEFORE CONTINUING, PLEASE NOTE THERE WILL POTENTIALLY BE ALL KINDS OF SPOILERS BELOW IF THEY ARE NOT HIDDEN By participating, you are consenting to spoilers you might come to regret :)
There's a spoiler-hiding button on Lemmy but since this discussion is about spoilers, I'm not sure how useful it will be.
Does any time in your memory particularly stand out as a truly regrettable spoiler?
examples:
- warned of a Spoiler Alert while scrolling on YT comments or threads, but clicked anyway. You regretted it.
- watched weekly-released shows with friends and you weren't caught up but needed to know what happened before you watched it, and you regretted it.
- haven't seen the movie, thought you weren't going to, you spoiled it for yourself by finding out the plot, and came around to watching the movie and thought to yourself "It would've hit better if I didn't know before hand".
- podcaster gave a spoiler alert, you proceeded to ignore it, you regretted ignoring it.
It's such a specific feeling of regret, so I am curious how others' experiences were and how they compare.
For me,
spoiler
I keep spoiling myself with the show Bleach, reading into the lore and finding out info before actually chronologically watching it (TV)/ reading it in the manga. I come to regret it when I didn't experience the creator's (Tite Kubo) work myself first, then follow up with reading into it for background info. In the earlier part of the series I didn't spoil myself and I feel it was a richer experience because of it.
Also sometimes I listen to "Get Played" which is a podcast about gaming, where they frequently enter "spoiler country" and I love to hear them talk so I get my cowboy hat on and follow them in. I regret it only part of the time.
