As someone who is allergic to shellfish who has rationalized that I am not really missing anything as the *real* reason people like sea bugs is that they are a socially acceptable vehicle for consuming unreasonable amounts of melted butter, this is troubling.

It feels like “a franchise that sells primarily chicken fingers” is the sort of thing that is within Guy Fieri’s ability to pull off. If it were something more ambitious or something that does not already exist which has proven itself successful (there’s a Raising Cane’s near me which is always inexplicably busy) I…

I mean, that’s why I put “Free Speech” in quotation marks. Very few advocates for “free speech” on reddit or one of the chans actually believe people should be allowed to express their opinion against sexism, homophobia, racism, etc. Just that *they* personally should not face repercussions for being sexist,…

I mean, if you really wanted to have an AMA with the edgy, toxic, “free speech” crowd free to participate, Reddit is *RIGHT THERE* and you will face zero scorn for just doing an AMA in the place that largely popularized (invented?) them.

I guess I’m not used to these sorts of games. It took me a month and a half to get to the end of Borderlands. So I was expecting something like that.

Didn’t the game come out like last week? If people are already at the endgame I’m kind of concerned there’s not enough pre-endgame there.

I believe them. Kansas City probably has its own signature style of pizza, as does Des Moines, and Milwaukee, and Springfield, and Portland, and every other place that makes/eats enough pizza to develop preferences and vendors catering to those preferences. It’s not totally different from how in other countries you…

I mean, the actor playing the titular Sheldon will eventually no longer qualify as “Young” which *should* free us from this cycle.  Unless there are reboots, I guess.

I feel like the solution for loaded fries is to McDLT them- give me the fries and the gloop separately and allow me to assemble them.

Since I figured out how to pasteurize eggs with the Anova, I’ve gotten back to drinking perhaps the most iconic of shaken cocktails: the silver gin fizz. Back in the heydey of that drink, popular establishments in New Orleans would have whole teams of people just to shake the drink- since you want to denature the egg…

I eat grapefruits by peeling them like an orange and eating the segments. Doing this is a lot more labor intensive than doing the same with an orange, since you have to spend about 5 minute scraping the pith off and you can only really do this with peak of the season grapefruits, but I contend it is the best way to…

Best substitute for the guanciale? It’s really hard to find around here. I’m guessing “good bacon” but there might be a better substitute.

It’s basically (perhaps exactly) the same mint syrup they use in the mint oreo blizzard at DQ, which is available all year round and thus might be a better choice unless “drinkable” is incredibly important.

It’s four degrees outside, and by the time I want cold soup, garlic week will be a distant memory. How much would “eating it warm” ruin it?

Is Utah’s favorite Valentine’s candy chocolate chips? Since I’d be inclined to interpret the picture as Hershey’s Kisses (which due to “limited time” flavors are probably better for every *other* holiday IMO), but Arkansas’s image clearly shows the wrapped Kiss.

I feel like the problem most people have with pineapple on pizza is that it’s not presented properly in the most common presentation. Like in addition to the actual pineapple being usually pretty wet and mushy in mass market pies, the ham is usually not salty enough (pepperoni is a better choice if you can’t manage…

I mean, there are times in my life when I can go through like 30 eggs in a single day, and I personally wish the bags of grapefruit they sell were bigger (I used to get 36 lb bags from Hy-Vee when I lived in Iowa, went through about 4-6 of those in a year). So it feels like mostly a case of “shopper, know thyself”

What this highlights to me is that in this industry nobody is really on the side of “the people who actually make the games.” Like, the people who play the games screaming abuse at devs wasn’t really news at any point in the last decade (as unfortunate as this is). But when the company makes a record amount of money,…

At first I had thought this was delay of game since there’s a 35 second playclock before the 2-point conversion and someone would have to go get the ball out of the stands.

I find this to be extremely relatable content. I’m a little more extreme than you, since I will not play games with other humans who are not in the same room as I am; I just find it uncomfortable. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to find a good time in a bunch of multiplayer games, but current market trends are…
