I wonder what it takes to really piss OP off if they only consider this “mildly” infuriating.

This is the way most Japanese showers are set up, and it works well because the shower/tub, toilet, and sink/storage area are three separate rooms.

Here is a (simplified approximation of a) common layout:

I’m sorry to hear that; I hope you’re doing well.

I’ve seen this comic strip thousands of times too, it gets reposted so often.

I’ve cross-posted this to “Actually Infuriating” where it belongs.

Which one in the chart is Robin Hood? 2? 3 with extra clothing?

5 is literally just a cartoon animal with a bow

Lower Decks was brilliant tho

Sorry, but it’s too fucking hot most places to even think about spooky season right now.

I really enjoyed the books as a kid too, and was disappointed with how bad the movie was. But–from what I remember of the book–it was pretty faithful. I think the book doesn’t stand up to the scrutiny of adulthood.

Making tortillas from scratch is also not that hard, and that way you never have to worry about pre-cooking shelf life, as long as you generally have flour, oil, and baking powder kicking around.

Absolutely, true wasabi has a much more delicate flavor, but it still packs way more of a punch than, say, even the spiciest Japanese curry. I was floored by how spicy Korean food was when I first tried it, especially by comparison with Japanese cuisine. Generally speaking, I don’t think Korean and Japanese food have much of an overlap, except maybe in ingredients used and the prevalence of rice- and noodle-based dishes.

Very true, the two types of “spiciness” are quite different (wasabi is basically a ten-second flavor blast, whereas capsaicin sticks with you and accumulates). It’s way more that just “mouth hot.”

For sure, Japanese restaurants often have the option to make it spicier (either when ordering or as a condiment you can add yourself). However I was surprised at how many people I knew had very low tolerance and would only order what I’d consider mild (or medium if they felt like challenging themselves).

As fun as it is to make fun of America, there are plenty of countries with way worse spice tolerance. You wouldn’t expect it, as the home of wasabi, but most Japanese people have the tolerance level of a white Midwestern grandma with severe acid reflux.

Damn, OP has high standards for this to qualify as “mildly” interesting.

I’ve always heard the phrase as “kneading biscuits.” Muffins are made by stirring/folding in ingredients.

I think you missed the “ultimately inconsequential” part of the prompt…

Canning is great if you find yourself with a windfall of free produce. Otherwise I’m kinda inclined to agree: canning isn’t worth it unless you enjoy the process and consider it a hobby.

That I have but one upvote to give!

Here, have some Lemmy gold 🥫 (it’s a can of beans)
