I’m a simple man, if Summoning Salt uploads, I watch

[-] notst@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

The last one had an especially alluring title. I had to immediately watch it.

The Quest to beat jimmypoopins

[-] Climinteedus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I recently found a channel with the same production format as SummoningSalt. The name of the channel is 'Abyssoft'

I watched a pretty lengthy FF7 speedrun progression video and got immediately hooked!

Pros:

Irish? Mostly great info New info I’ve never heard of before Comes across as nice

Cons:

Annoying thumbnails Some incorrect info Very obviously reading from paper, sounds very stilted Mispronunciations afoot

Conclusion:

Subbed, thank you for the rec!

[-] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 71 points 1 year ago

This hits hard.

I'll need extra pizza tonight

[-] Belazor@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

I feel personally attacked.

[-] TrustingZebra@lemmy.one 21 points 1 year ago

That's how you cells feel too!

[-] elvith@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

My cells relate to this comic

[-] imatree@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

As long as they don’t unionize, you can suppress those little fuckers

Shake it up with a carrot or a piece of celery to placate them. Just enough to avoid a uprising

[-] voidavoid@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

On the other hand, do you feel less alone now?

[-] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

I have never posted that I feel personally attacked.

But I came to these comments to say that I, too, feel personally attacked.

What's this thing with people claiming tomatoes are vegetables? It's got seeds in it

[-] BlackLodgeCooper@lemmy.ml 61 points 1 year ago

Fruit is a botanical term for things with seeds in it. Vegetable is a culinary term. They aren't mutually exclusive so when people say something is either a fruit OR a vegetable, it isn't an apples vs oranges comparison.

[-] Rubanski@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

Because they are both fruit

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 34 points 1 year ago

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Ketchup is a fruit jam

[-] bob_lemon@feddit.de 16 points 1 year ago

I mean, that it's a terrible definition of vegetable, considering it rules out a very large amount of vegetables, including tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplants and cucumbers.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago

You can apply that to pretty much any categorization we make for the natural world.

The natural world doesn't care for our categorizations or social construct. It can, and will, make shit that just does not fit to any of our boxes, and like it!

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

Man: mammals have live births and give milk through breasts (technically mammary glands, though most expect nipples)

World: have you met my friend the platypus?

[-] WeirdAlex03@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, the semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action. A key part of god's fight against those who demand everything be neatly categorized into simple boxes

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Also OWACA's fight against... incompetent villians?

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's a cooking term, not a biology term.

In cooking, tomatoes are vegetables. Biologically, they're fruit. In cooking, they're not fruit.

[-] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Not nearly as much as you seem to think. "Anything can be anything" is a common line by people who don't know anything. "Autism is an infinite spectrum. Everyone's a little bit autistic!" "Everything that looks similar in some ways to a game that's been called an 'RPG' is an RPG!" Assumptions and infinite inclusions come more easily than actual knowledge and categorizations.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was referring more to how there's an exception to every rule in, for example, biology (and other things in nature).

You mentioned autism, which by itself is an exception to the rule of how we think humans beings "should" be and act. And autistic people have long been tried to be forcefully put into the societally constructed boxes we made for ourselves, instead of accepting that some people are different and that it's ok.

Or how left handed people exist. Or how intersex is a thing. Or the myriad of medical conditions which, while not harmful, make people different, like situs inversus.

And that's just for humans. In nature you got everything from viruses which is debatable whether it can even be categorized as life, to platypuses, to fungi that have tens of thousands of different sexes. And this list is near endless.

[-] jarfil@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a definition of "fruit": thing that's full of seeds, intended to fall off the plant.

Technically, any part of a plant is a "vegetable". Tomatoes? Vegetables. Lettuce leaves? Vegetables. Leek stalks? Vegetables. Spruce 2x4? Vegetables...

[-] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Be sure to try the sous-vide Spruce 2x4. The PT sauce is to die for!

The majority of vegetables are also fruits. They're not even close to mutually exclusive terms.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Why should anyone care this much though. It isn’t poisoning anyone. it’s not breaking anything in the kitchen. It’s still edible. No animal died to give it to you.just Eat it and be fed.

[-] snaf@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

Generally when people talk fruits and vegetables they are referring to culinary tradition. Vegetable does not have a precise scientific definition anyway, despite what you've heard from The Big Bang Theory.

[-] Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl -1 points 1 year ago

I thought the definition was pretty clear but basing it on some tradition is a bit vague.

[-] andy_wijaya_med@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

What is even a mario kart speedruns lmao

[-] funnystuff97@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Mario Kart Blue Yourself%. Not even joking, look it up.

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Tomato isn't even a vegetable, it's a fruit.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Botanically, yes, culinarily, not necessarily.
