People love to bring up the vomit thing, but butyric acid is also naturally found in milk, butter, Parmesan cheese, and even papaya. Things a lot of Hershey’s detractors would claim to like.

I like don’t hate Hershey’s nor do I think it’s the best. I also like European chocolate like Cadbury, Tony’s, etc as well but they do seem a bit flat or one-note in comparison. Sometimes that’s what I want. I can also understand how if that’s what you’re used to any deviation could be off putting.

Cling wrap, the store brand is absolute garbage

…unless that store is Costco.

Kirkland Signature cling wrap is the best. And the “Easy Cutter” is the best thing to ever happen to cling wrap.

Every week, Juleon Cotillon and his girlfriend Jeanette Garibay visit Costco. They shop the bulk items, but they also enjoy one of the warehouse store’s iconic meals — the $1.50 hot dog and soda combo. However, there’s a conundrum: Cotillon says it’s hard to score a table and even harder to eat a snappy link with a soda while perusing the aisles because you need both hands. So, the local pastry chef came up with a creative solution.

I appreciate a $1.50 hotdog and soda just as much as the next shopper, but I have never personally nor ever seen anyone eating food court food while they were shopping.

Apparently it is “a thing” as I saw folks over on /r/costco talking about it like it was common place. I guess I just live in a classier region of the country…

Arabic is right to left, but interestingly the place values of numbers are still left to right from highest to lowest

I’m not sure what the phrase “fake outrage” would actually mean

See line 2 of the narcissist’s prayer:

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad. <— You are here
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

Wait - is this a presidential election year? I thought only came out to check for her shadow every four years…

That’s exactly how I felt reporting it — debated it a bit but the personal insult was so unnecessary…

trying to discredit Aaron Scwartz, the reddit cofounder who passed away

Passed away due to suicide for having the book thrown at him by the FBI for doing a tiny fraction of what each and every AI company is now doing openly and freely, it should be noted.

🪦 RIP Aaron

You are right about Imgur. I don’t know about android but for Voyager on iOS you can “Open in Safari” from the share sheet which takes you here:

From there you can “Open on Lemmy.ca instead” and see where it’s hosted in case you’re ever in a pinch in the future.

I would say he has been very successful. He managed to become a billionaire

I guess we have different measures of success.

If I ever become a billionaire and am not actively figuring out how to effectively redistribute my wealth, you have my permission to kill me.

I always thought they were dabbing smelling salts or at least something like Vicks vapor rub.

“This is outrageous and cannot stand. The First Amendment is under attack in America!” Lemon’s former CNN colleague Jim Acosta wrote in a post on X.

Every time I see it I can’t believe there’s anyone of note left on X; particularly after it’s CSAM machine phase.

 

Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota formally announced her campaign for governor on Thursday with a call for unity and decency in her troubled state, which has been roiled by political violence, President Trump’s immigration crackdown and widespread protests after two killings of Minnesotans by federal agents.

Ms. Klobuchar, a popular Democrat with a history of winning by double-digit margins, has spent nearly two decades in the Senate as a common-sense centrist with a folksy demeanor and a carefully cultivated history of bipartisanship.

Now, with her run for governor, the self-proclaimed “senator next door” is gambling that her message of moving past partisan divides can still work even amid one of the most volatile domestic conflicts of the second Trump administration.

 

With Tim Cook’s persistent support of the Trump administration and mealy mouthed finger-wagging regarding ICE, consider joining me and others in voting against TIm’s position on Apple’s board of directors.

 

A federal judge ordered agents not to retaliate against people “engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity” in the state and not to stop drivers who are not “forcibly obstructing” officers.

A veteran jazz ensemble and a New York dance company have canceled events at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, intensifying the fallout at one of the nation’s pre-eminent arts centers after it was renamed to include President Trump.

The center had previously promoted two New Year’s Eve performances by the Cookers as an “all-star jazz septet that will ignite the Terrace Theater stage with fire and soul.” But those performances, like an annual Christmas Eve jazz concert hosted by Chuck Redd, are now canceled.

The Cookers did not give a reason for the decision in a statement on Monday that said, “Jazz was born from struggle and from a relentless insistence on freedom: freedom of thought, of expression, and of the full human voice.”

But the band’s drummer, Billy Hart, told The New York Times that the center’s name change had “evidently” played a role. He acknowledged that the group was concerned about possible reprisals.

 

Folks - I need help.

I bought the UDR7 router during the Black Friday sale just to see what the hype was about and since then I’ve already placed multiple orders for hundreds of dollars of equipment. As we speak I have a cart full of over a thousand dollars more equipment that I’m on the cusp of submitting and and there is no end in sight.

If there is anyone out there who can talk me out of this rabbit hole I fear this may be the last chance for salvation

The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods and stopping at tamale carts, elote stands and candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food and deliver it to shelters and families in need
