    Sprongs! Get your thongs on! We gotta go get the chrissie tree! We'll get some Maccas and Golden Gaytimes on the way! 

    I promise I didn't just google "Australian slang for X" a bunch of times while writing this.

    Are you going to pioneer for us? I'm excited about the possibility of a lab grown burger or steak that is virtually identical to the real thing.

    You’re doing well, we may even let you in when the borders open again.

    @Freddy No, I will not be eating that. And they can take their “plant based egg” back too.

  • If (and this is a big IF) they can get lab grown meat to actually taste and behave like exactly like real meat, it would solve a lot of problems that livestock farming causes (while also shifting even more food production to massive corporations).

    @Chinaski Soup! Google lentil soups, there’s tons of recipes. Also if you Google “brown lentil recipes” you’ll probably find some easy curries and dals.

    Pluto TV has a Bob Ross channel.  All Bob Ross, all the time.

    Just when I thought I was out of shows to watch. :)
  • If you haven't eaten lentils before, just know they make some people (me included) fart. Like, a lot. A lot of farting.

    @Chinaski I’ve made this one and it was pretty tasty.

    I've been a vegetarian for over 25 years, which means lentil farts have also been a part of my life for over 25 years.

    Where the single ladies at?  :#

    Nothing to see here...

  • This made the rounds today on Twitter. You’ll want to watch from about 46:59 - 47:19. 

    Trigger warning... just... in general.

  • WHAT THE FUCK.

    WHAT.

    Is that, like, an added voiceover as a troll? Or did it legit air like that in 1987?

    I don't hear anything odd at 46:59. They say Merry Christmas everybody.

    Listen to the voice-over in the end credits (and consider that it was tacked-on to a kid's show!)

    Brushing your teeth in the shower. Gross or next level time saving technique?

    I've done it for years. It's great. Don't keep the brush in the shower though. It can grow mildew.

    It’s kind of gross. I can’t pinpoint exactly why, through. But when I read what @calebthrower wrote I reflexively went “Ew”. 
  • ChinaskiChinaski Santa Cruz, CA
    now do you put water on your toothbrush before or after putting on the toothpaste? or neither?

    After. I have no scientific reasoning to back this up but I feel like toothpaste sticks better to a dry brush

    Toothbrush in shower - I’ve done it once or twice. Didn’t see it as anything to continue.

    Water on toothbrush before and after appliqué of paste  with a glass of water by the side. 

    Here’s a General Tomfoolery Covid 2020 random question.  How many times this year have you accidentally splooged yourself with hand sanitizer? Like where you cup your hand thinking it’s going to drop down but instead it rockets into your shirt or jeans.  The number is at least more than 1 hand for me. Did this happen to people or am I hand sanitizer challenged!? I have used the most hand sanitizer in my life this year cause before all of this I used to be a little anti with hand sanitizer. Like yes wash your hands at all opportunities but purell people were kinda germaphoby to me and I’m from the era of “eat a little dirt; it’s good for ya.”

    Both. Like every member of the civilized world. All you only before or only after heathens can get off my lawn.

    @cdrive I have a soap dispenser at my kitchen sink and it sits at an odd angle so at least once a week i splooge all over the kitchen bench when I’m just trying to wash my hands. #2020problems

    I have no idea if it's true or not, but when I was a teenager I read that when you flush your toilet germs can be spread 6 feet from the flush zone and I've never had a washroom large enough where my toothbrush was more than 6 feet away from my toilet so I've always washed/rinsed my toothbrush before putting the toothpaste on.

    Edit:  I've been living a lie!  Also, this new information will not change my behaviour - old dog, new tricks & all that.


  • DeeDee Adelaide
    @CretanBull Isn’t it supposedly that the bacteria goes into the air or something (god you can tell I didn’t do science past Year 9)? I always keep my toothbrush in the cabinet for that reason. I don’t want minute poop particles on my brush.

    I've done it a few times, but only when I was in a huge hurry to get out of the house.
    I didn't think it was that huge a deal.

    Both!  And it has to be just very slightly warm.

    More than a few times.  Gotta love walking into the store or work with a wet spot on your jeans or shirt. :neutral:
