    This reminds me of when I was doing chi gungs with a YouTube monk, until he started making bizarre claims that I’d never get sick again and my body would magically heal itself. It did not.

    It looks like the post was made by a Cambodian. Pov translates to ‘young brother/sister’ and is commonly used as a term of endearment. So the odd terminology could have been lost in translation. … and that looks like a typical Cambodian soup.

          For me it’s more about solid-to-liquid ratio, soups are often “thick” but still liquidy overall. Stews are cooked down until there’s basically no broth, essentially just a gravy. My personal distinction is that stews can be eaten on a plate, soup can’t be.

    Somehow, without the aid of nuclear devestation, people have managed to reset to Year 0. Just “rediscovering” shit that already existed as if it’s new tech. And then try to sell it to people.

    It’d almost be funny if it didn’t make me so fuckin mad.

      I figured out something absolutely crazy. You can put vegetables into the ground, (you know, the dirty thing outside?) and they will literally just start making more of themselves.

      Also, you know all those naked people outside with too much hair and extra legs instead of arms? They’re made of meat!!! It’s true!

        I have seen variations of the vegetable innvoation in the wild, although you can never tell when things are ironic anymore

        Oh god no, I don’t talk to people in public any more.

        I have repeatedly gotten “oldman yells from porch” angry when seeing a string of "peak"s and "absolute cinema"s in the comments under any form of media which, at best, can only claim it wasn’t trying to sell me something. I won’t get further into that because it’s not productive and probably sounds elitist.

    I’m convinced that everyone who starts one of these weird diets and feels better has a random food sensitivity that just happens to get cut out by their diet.

    Like, you feel way better on that crazy carnivore diet where you eat only meat, but it’s cause you have undiagnosed celiacs and eating only meat happens to cut out all wheat.

        I’ve thought that because of my celiac tests coming back marginal and all the other issues I have, but I get wounds on my skin that take months to go away and severe anxiety from gluten which I don’t think can be caused be fodmap sensitivity.

    They don’t even try to form coherent thoughts anymore, just buzzwords to sell your current “brand”.

    I know it’s overused but cliches are cliche for a reason, so I love it when people say “So close!” and then make fun of someone for saying some braindead shit.

    Also reminds me of some stupid ad I saw for expensive ass chlorophyll powder packets to put in your water. My sibling in christ, eat a fucking salad with spinach if you want chlorophyll.

          My brother-in-law considers it frankly offensive that there’s an actual thing called “New England boiled dinner.” My sister and I love it, but he can’t get past the name.

            I had to look it up…

            A New England boiled dinner is a traditional, one-pot comfort food that originated in the northeastern US. The dish typically includes corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, all boiled together in water to create a broth. Other root vegetables like turnips, rutabagas, or parsnips can be added. The corned beef is cooked until tender, and the root vegetables become so soft they can be cut with a spoon. The dish requires little attention and no extra seasoning

            🤦🏼‍♀️

              So, in defense of this, the corned beef in question usually has a pretty complex seasoning profile. It’ll have a big packet with peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, dill, mustard seed, coriander, and a few other things. (Sometimes mace or nutmeg? It varies with the seller.) The “corned” in the name comes from all the spices (it’s “corn” like in peppercorn). And at the table it’s often also served with mustard or Worcestershire sauce, which brings a whole additional suite of spices, as well as pickled beets. So it’s not as flavorless as that description makes it sound. But it’s true that the corned beef does contribute a salty, savory note, especially to the cabbage.

              It is legitimately a very mild, comfort food kind of dish. Vindaloo this isn’t. And we like that too! This just fits a different kind of mood.

              I guess I just think it’s hilarious how much of an anti-advertisement the name is. Like, it’s so emphatically not going to appear on the menu of any fancy gastropub. Caramelized pear and arugula flatbread with candied walnuts and gorgonzola? Nope. Boiled dinner. Deal with it.

        It’s because the bottled sewerage market demands that their product be called “refined sewerage,” or sometimes “sparkling sewerage” if carbonated.

        But it can only be called “le fizzy shitz” if it’s from the Shitz region of France.
