For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.
Chunky peanut butter is better than smooth (unless the recipe demands otherwise, of course). I like peanut butter because I like peanuts, dammit. I also prefer fresh peanut butter to that Jif crap. Having to stir it to mix the peanut oil back in is a small price to pay. The only ingredient in peanut butter should be PEANUTS.
I like chunky style because all peanut butter has an FDA approved limit on how many bug parts a jar can have per gram, and it makes it easier not to think about what that crunch was.
That judgements tell you a lot more about the person doing the judging than they do about the thing being judged
I know it has a long history of not being used literally, but I think literally should only be used to mean literally.
Eating fried chicken sandwich for breakfast is completely normal and an awesome way to start a day.
saywhanow? Expand on this fried chicken breakfast sandwich…
I’ll form an opinion to your comment after you tell me your BMI.
As a science enthusiast, until the US stops using the “Alu-min-um” pronunciation, I refuse to spell Sulphur as “Sulfur”, even if it is part of IUPAC.
Edit: Forgot to add this originally, but Aluminium is also the IUPAC standard spelling/pronunciation, which I argue makes my petty hill all the more valid.
But there’s not another vowel between the ‘n’ and the ‘u’, why would you pronounce it “AL-yoo-MINI-um”!?
It’s similar to people who pronounce nuclear “nuke-yoo-lar”, those extra letters just aren’t in the word!

Except it does have those letters ;)
Monday is the first day of the week.
Do people actually think otherwise?
American here: I fully accept that Monday as first day of the week makes more logical sense, but my brain can’t reverse years of programming. I get very confused and make mistakes if I look at a calendar that starts on Monday.
The more I learn about america the weirder it gets.
I find that all countries do some pretty weird things. Some more than others, Japan.
Pizza is not made on a grill or with cornmeal on the bottom, it’s made on a hot stone, with flour on the bottom of the dough to keep it from sticking. It also does not ever touch pineapples or ranch dipping sauce. What in the actual fuck is wrong with people?
Why would you gatekeep what’s on a pizza? There’s a whole range of textures and flavors that work, that you’re telling people they can’t experience because you’re a hardcore traditionalist? Let good food be good food.
I won’t question the cooking on stone part, but as far as toppings on pizza go I honestly don’t care. Everyone has different tastes and if someone wants to put whatever abomination on their pizza so be it.
Also I actually like pineapple on pizza, but it’s not my favorite. I don’t know why people get so offended by it
“times less” is not an intuitive, easy to understand way of referring to a decrease in some amount or percentage.
Right? If something has “100x less” something, does that mean it has 1%? 0.99%? Some other random figure?? What are you even trying to convey???
Those big SUV like Ford f150 should be illegal, for real. They are super long and tall, the driver can barely see what’s right in front, it’s dangerous for everyone not in the car. Cars should have stricter limits on size, if it’s bigger, you need a special license.
Artificial sweeteners is one of the reasons I’m not obese. You can quote me all the studies you want, diet coke is not a gateway drink to regular coke, and splenda on my black coffee doesn’t make me crave a caramel macchiato.
They’re also one of the most heavily studied food additives and if it was going to poison you big-sugar would let us know.
Aspartame is the only artificial food additive I feel has been studied so much that’s it’s all but guaranteed to be safe for human consumption (unless you lack the ability to process certain proteins, but you know that if that’s you)
Sucralose and other more novel alcohol sugars (ethyritol/monkfruit) are slightly more questionable to me, but should still be fine in moderation.
Possibly also depends on your body in other ways. I have yet to find an artificial sweetener that doesn’t give me headaches. Multiple times I had a headache for seemingly no reason and found out something I consumed a few hours earlier had artificial sweeteners. Same goes for too much licorice or stevia.
Yeah some people are sensitive to Phenylalanine without having Phenylketonuria, relatively uncommon. As with all things natural or not you should listen to what your body tells you there is no one reaction to anything. Eggs and dairy can also be high in this amino acid.
I have no problem at all with either eggs or dairy, so it must be something else. I suspect it’s my brain registering sweetness and telling the respective glands to prepare for an influx of sugars which then fail to appear, leading to those headaches.
Yeah. I don’t get it either. Artificial sweetners are way more effective at stimulating your tastebuds than sugar for the calories.
Why would anyone switch to an inferior product which ruins your health if they have the option not to??
I can taste all of the artificial sweeteners. My spouse uses them constantly and they taste sideways to me. My partner doesn’t taste much of a difference so If we ever get drinks mixed up I’m the poison tester.
The only way to get them to taste fine enough is by using a mixture of a few different ones. I’m sure my experience is similar to people who have the cilantro soap thing.
I think high fructose corn syrup taste like literal poison. I can taste it in anything and everything it’s in. Funny thing though. Your tastebuds acclimate, and you get used to flavors (either HFCS or Aspartame). I still struggle with stevia, sometimes, but it’s far easier to look past than high fructose corn syrup.
My partner has been doing low carb for around 5 years now. I’m assuming it takes longer? I usually try everything they make. From ice cream to syrups to cakes.
Real talk though, I love xanthan gum. I know it’s garbage.
Artificial sweetners do taste “off” to me, but tastebuds can acclimate to it. The rest of my digestive system? Not so much. Let’s just say there is a reason it is pronounced ASS-partame.
I don’t care about the calories. Artificial sweeteners taste like plastic cancer, so it’s normal coke for me.
Aspartame gave me terrible headaches. Then I became diabetic. Turns out by that time sucralose was more popular. It doesn’t give me headaches and it tastes fine. After so long of having sucralose, I can now tolerate aspartame. Still gross though.
Microtransactions are not acceptable in full retail single player games. I don’t care if it’s only cosmetics. If i pay 60 bucks for it, i better get the whole damn thing. Looking at you, Diablo 4.
If someone uses the phrase “assless chaps” I will not rest until they admit that if chaps had an ass, they would be pants.
Fight me.

The Oxford comma is bad. The “and” conveys the end of the list just fine.
Gaming laptops are good and have been for decades.
Soup is not food. If you spill your drink over my plate of pasta I call that a ruined plate of pasta.
Speaking of commas & “and”, I hate that people refuse to use the word “and” in news headlines, they replace it with commas instead and it’s just a worse reading experience, I really don’t understand why this is a thing.
Because every character used to cost, both in page real estate and ink on page. Today, it still does in page real estate even if the bits that make up the page are basically free.
Makes some kind of sense, I just feel like it hurts readability way too much to be acceptable.
Like “Norway, Sweden makes energy deal with Denmark, Germany” is very hard to parse, reads like Norway is a place in Sweden and Denmark a place in Germany.
Unless it’s boiled before they bake it, it’s not a fucking bagel, it’s doughnut-shaped bread. Bagels also do not contain blueberries, and any suggestion to the contrary should be met with a swift ass whooping.
Blueberry bagels are my second favorite. Spank me daddy
Heathen. Destroyer of all that is good. What is your first favorite?
Bagels also do not contain blueberries
This made me think, “Everything” bagels don’t actually include blueberries, but it’s literally supposed to contain everything! Irrefutable proof that blueberries can’t be in bagels
