True enough. Hey if we try hard enough maybe gen Z can reevaluate it - let's include Gen Jones and the Xennials and Zillenials

I mean let's count - boomers, gen x, millenials, gen z is only 4 generations later. Generation gamma or delta can decide if it's a redeemable symbol and I cant imagine they'll care all that much what their great (great) grandparents generation thought about it.

1 occasionally the user base freaks the fuck out and starts spamming the same thing, like this. I don’t like Nazis, but that also means I don’t want literally everything on my funny picture site to be about keeping them out. 2 increasingly all the popular stuff isn’t memes at all, but shitting on trump and musk.

Doesnt sound all that different from here especially on #1, case in point beans, jeans and more recently corn for some reason

My neighbor uses Imgur as his main social media. I take that with a grain of salt though since he's a millenial who only used flip phones til 2022, there are dozens like him, dozens!

I believe 7 generations is the gold standard

The human voice is infinitely more annoying than the most irritating musical instrument. Or construction equipment for that matter.

My big question with older cast iron is had they been used to melt lead down to make bullets? I know it's at least an occasional concern - another reason along with the cleaning issues and having them always smoke up kitchens to happily avoid them. I would refuse one as a gift, even.

I'm using a revereware pan that's been with my family for 35 years, lightweight and works very well for my uses. Sure, a heavier one would hold more heat but I've never found myself wanting a different pan. I also have a larger, newer one, a cuisinart pan that is a heavier due to size but nothing compared to cast iron.

A good quality stainless set is far superior imho, you can actually keep it clean and dont have to mess around with seasoning it. Also, if you drop it, it won't break your foot and/or flooring. Cast iron is a fad that frankly is already dying out.

Not disagreeing with you, water is definitely the best hydration. But other beverages are effective hydrators, even if some have side effects in addition to the taste.

Any drink with water in it is hydrating. There are no drinks without water. All drinks hydrate, even coffee.

 

Basically what it says in the title

I remember reading years ago in some chapter of what I think is a Kurt Vonnegut book, that the Germans have a word for someone you meet who represents who you could become, but would prefer not to, and how that person is significant as a symbol and drives you to become who you should be or want to be.

Did I dream this? What book was it and what was the word?
