Shows up for me there too. 🤷

What do you mean? There is an image.

I speak only in great truths.

One of those truths is that two string quartets have thought it was a good idea to cover that song.

The correct number, incidentally, is zero string quartets.

I’m sure it was just a recording, but I was terrified of the idea that you could pick up a phone and talk to Ronald. And I wasn’t a kid who was afraid of clowns or anything.

It doesn’t help that it looks creepy as fuck.

I mean I figured that out when they said Fall Out Boy.

Plus, why would listen to that version when The Hoff did a version? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoRUe9xXin4 (It is also awful, but I mean that’s obvious. It’s David Hasselhoff.)

The same stuff that stops their burgers and fries from ever decomposing, I guess. PFAS?

Maybe. All I know is that Billy Joel and his crew didn’t.

I remember when I was a kid in the 80s, some McDonald’s had a yellow phone which you could pick up and “talk to Ronald.” I was terrified of the idea.

Yes.

Let this be a lesson to you all: If you report a post for a reason as stupid as this, I might just let everyone know so they can laugh about it.

P.S. This is Lemmy Shitpost. You can misinform people all you like. Watch: Some camels are actually a type of iguana. But only the Bactrian camels. The rest are types of cacti. And if you drink their saliva, it will cure your gout.

I’ve eaten multiple types of insects. All but one (giant water bug, tasted way too much like juniper, which I hate) have been decent. Ants are kind of citrusy because of the formic acid. Meal worms and the beetle larvae I had were kind of nutty. The crickets I had were the style they do in Oaxaca, Mexico, which is fried with chile and lime, so it’s basically just crunchy chili lime flavor.

Incidentally, you can get cricket flour, which is exactly what it sounds like. You can either use it as a flour substitute (it also has a nutty flavor) or blend it with plant-based flours and use it in a standard baking recipe either way. And you won’t get little legs stuck in your teeth or anything.

There is an indoor shrimp farm in Indiana. Really. They also claim they farm sustainably.

Downside: they don’t shell them or cut any bits off or anything. That’s your job.

You’re probably right. Although try to picture Vader saying, “hi, kids!”

Well he might have given a clue as to whether or not he was Luke’s father when he said, “I am your father” in The Empire Strikes Back, but maybe some people needed it restated in Return of the Jedi for it to sink in.

I think it gets you an automatic blue check mark these days.

Someone reported this as a racist joke (I really don’t think it is) and it took me a good 30 seconds to figure out what they were even talking about.

I’m ashamed because I’m constantly playing Word Cookies on my phone and it’s basically just Boggle without a timer. But in my defense, you can’t repeat letters.

That’s really cool! Thanks for adding that!

Edit: That site also has this super cool sculpture. https://umtychy.pl/131912-tychy-kosmolot-ii-na-os-m

Fun fact, the library is not put together with mortar. The limestone blocks are stuck to each other with a special glue.

People got too high and forgot to implement the plan.

Maybe it’s because I grew up within walking distance of the Indiana University campus, which has a lot of brutalist architecture (for example, this is the library), but I honestly don’t mind it if it’s done well. It can just also be done really poorly.
