Okay what the hell is "fw it"

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 100 points 2 months ago (3 children)

fw it = fuck with it

aka he wouldn't even try it

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 36 points 2 months ago

Thank you, definitely showing my age there!

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Ok now what the hell is a trad girl?

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 53 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Trad = traditional = usually code for conservative white Christian 50s gender roles, as sold to zoomers by social media influencers.

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And why is she serving mold?

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's molded tuna, as in she used a mold to shape pureed tuna like the shape of a fish, which is what I assume was a popular dish in the 1950s when gelatin was a sign of wealth due to requiring refrigeration to set.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Hi I'm new here, what's tuna?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

kinda looks like this

[–] C8r9VwDUTeY3ZufQRYvq@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

I can understand why he didn't want to fw it.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That looks welcoming.

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Don't put your dick in that.

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

It's what you do to musical instruments.

[–] raef@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Who didn't have a refrigerator in the '50s?

[–] sykaster@feddit.nl 6 points 2 months ago

Chastity and decency only to the public eye, of course. In private life she should be su missive and do anything these coomers want her to.

[–] guillem@aussie.zone 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The neoconservative ideal of a girl that is "wife material": chaste, submissive, adhering to old-fashioned feminine canons, sexist... Summarised under the umbrella term of "trad[itional]".

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying that for me

[–] some_random_nick@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Trad - traditional

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Not "forward it"?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

fw: fw: re: fw: re: Re: Use of reply all

No I don't think that's it

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I wish I had just scanned these comments for your question and the answer. I asked AI and it slang shamed me. “Would you like help learning about more slang you have never heard?”

The best are the ones that have actual from scratch recipes, none of this "1 container (no actual measurement) of this premade thing" bullshit

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Did you plan on only using 4/5 of the can of whatever if the weight didn't match up? What the hell am i gonna do with an ounce of evaporated milk?

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

The size of "a can" changes over the course of 40 something years. A lot of older recipes don't include an actual measurement beyond "a can" or "a package".

The "original" toll house cookie recipe printed on the bag of chocolate chips has like triple the amount of chocolate compared to the actual printed recipe in the Betty Crocker New Picture Cookbook, way back from the 60s

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

It's been a nightmare figuring out ratios of my great grandmother's handwritten recipes

One size 14 can of thing

Then I'm lost trying to figure out how a size 14 can changed and oh look they all fucking shrunk and now I've bought two and there's leftovers

Thanks capitalism! I think.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So what's your plan to do with the remainder of the can if you don't use the full thing? Your casserole will be fine if you just do the whole can

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Changing the amount of an ingredient can have lots of effects, especially in baking. It might still come out good, but it's also nice to be able to make the same stuff we used to make.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What do you do with leftover food in your kitchen in general? Do you own a refrigerator?

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have a tiny 5ft fridge in a 15sq ft kitchen. I barely have enough space in my frodge for my essentials, so what am i supposed to do with an ounce of something that came in a can? I'll have to buy another can of it, which will now leave me with 2 ounces the next time. Home cookbooks call for ingredients to be used in the quantities you buy them in, because no one cares how much cream of mushroom you put in your casserole, or if you used 450g of green beans vs 700. I'm not wasting a storage container or valuable food space on a small amount of leftover ingredients that could have just gone into my dinner without anyone noticing. That seems much better than just letting it sit in my fridge for 2 weeks before being theown away

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

So it doesn't work for you. But hey, maybe other people live different lives than you do.

No need to be so aggressive about it.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

I'm saying the point of the recipe being "one fan of this" or "package of that" is conscience so that you don't have to measure out a bunch of different ingredients. If you are making 3 meals for 5 people every day, it's a lifesaver to just crack open two cans into a bowl, a package of something else, and a stick of melted butter and call it a day.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Soup. The answer is always soup.

[–] justastranger@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

My favorite old cookbook is a wine cook book. The author is an obvious and unrepentant alcoholic that perfectly demonstrates the time period it was written in. One of the recipes was literally "melt a bunch of cheese and stir in wine while it cools, then pour the wine cheese into a loaf pan to solidify", encouraging you to have a glass while you do so.

[–] Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That kinda looks good to me. I would try it.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

That looks like Chinese prison food.

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 6 points 2 months ago

look closer and you will see The mold.

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago

The mistake was to not turn it into an aspic.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Greatest Gen grandma would have cooked shit like that but she wasn't daring enough. Seriously.

"I put an extra 1/16th teaspoon of paprika to jazz it up!"

I'd be an inch taller if I could have stomached her cooking as a kid. Dad (grandad) was too polite to say anything. "What a great meal!"

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Paprika...that was on Dad's side of the kitchen. Mom only had celery salt and thyme, and I think her 2 ounce bottle of thyme lasted my entire childhood. Everything tasted like Campbell's Cream of Mushroom.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

🤮

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 12 points 2 months ago

Good on OP. "Traditional Girl" is stupid. Most women in history were in tribes and ... well, I am not certain what they did. Camp fire cooking and berry picking. Some hunting. Not a lot of vacuuming or microwaving.

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Those are honestly pretty good

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Sewer Rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I wouldn't know 'cause I'd never eat the filthy motherfucka
