Non-US Lemmings, how is Christmas celebrated where you are? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

New Zealand here. Most of us don't do a lot of decorating, but some people are really into it. My wife has put up a mini-tree already. The big one comes out on December 1st, even though I argue that's too early. We like to have an outdoor BBQ on Christmas Day, as it's generally shorts weather.

What's chewing tobacco, then?

Would you count that as a Head-Up Display?

You are the fourth Wise Man that nobody talks about. What did you attempt to bring the baby Jesus that they cut you out of all the stories? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Vaccines.

Come on people, do you want the son of God to get whooping cough?!

(For the record, I'm in favour of science-based medical care, including vaccines. I shouldn't have to say that. What's the world coming to?)

Vegemite: suitable for murderers.

How do I tell my Korean male childhood friend that he looks like a very cute anime girl and that I'd die for him and that I want to cuddle with him and treat him like a princess (no homo)? in c/general@lemmy.world

Read the room. Carefully. More carefully than ever before in your life. Then decide if you'll proceed.

Do you at least have cousin you smoke weed with in the back of his truck?

...I don't know which character that would be. Maybe Morn?

That expression says he woke up that way and thought "ugh, not this shit again".

Wasn't Carrie King's first novel? 🤔

I stole that voice from Gilbert Gottfried.

That font is appropriate to the setting, but kind of hard on the eyes.

How would you turn Hell into a tourist destination? (lemmy.world)
 

Especially if the sinners still need their punishment?

Is it possible to eat a toxic amount of culinary herbs/spices? (lemmy.world)
 

Either all at once, or over a lifetime?

Is dessert a snack or a meal? (lemmy.world)
 

My position is that it's a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it's a meal or occupies some third food space and it's entirely hers. Who's right, court of Lemmy?

What are the levels of BBQing? (lemmy.world)
 

To explain what I mean, I think you can level up a cooking style. For example, pasta. At level 1, you're boiling dried pasta and adding sauce out of a jar. At level 1, you add your own spices. Level 3, switch to fresh pasta. Level 4, make your own sauce. And finally at level 5, make the pasta from scratch.

So with BBQ, I guess level 1 would be cooking the meat so it's neither burnt nor underdone. Maybe level 2 is mixing different meats/cuts that have different heat/time requirements and cooking well. Further levels = ?

Message bullets (lemmy.world)
 

Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!

Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

Tesco's Laser-Etched Avocados to Save on Packaging Waste - Core77 (www.core77.com)
 

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂

Alternatives to onion grating (lemmy.world)
 

I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?

Loki (spoilers) (lemmy.world)
 

I noticed that one of the monitors in the loom control room had "SKIN?" written on it in the dust that covered it. It seemed pretty mysterious and I was sure it was a detail that was going to be important, but it never came up as far as I noticed. Any theories as to what it's about?
