Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Public sports competitions is pointless and in any sane world should not cost millions, because no one would be watching them.English
2·5 days agoThere isn’t much to talk about that strangers can communally start a conversation. Weather is all too common. Work is ok until details come out. Same with family. Sports is one of the few things that spans generations, exists without required participation, and has a very low bar to entry for understanding and participation.
It’s literally the one thing I can talk to anyone about, even if they don’t watch sports. The ridiculousness and spectacle is enough to get a subversive chuckle from a few people. Sports don’t have to be liked to be useful.
Imagine the day heaven sees the front line of the never ending war against evil go quiet and expect demon tricks, only to find Hell focused on a new front fighting shoggoth and Old Ones.
There are things older than good and evil.
There was also a short version for the bigger episodes in season 2
Love the idea that a third string QB in the XFL is worth $5 AUD. Still overvalued.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL there's a hotel room designed to look like Goodnight MoonEnglish
7·1 month agoImagine being a kid in a family that stays in this room. Your mom tells you “bedtime” and you go lay in bed as she gets a green book to read before bed. Each page she reads she points to the page and something in the room that matches. As sleep pushes against your eyelids the realization that the book and room are the same. Exactly the same. And you fall asleep in the story. (Or are jolted awake with the realization that reality might be a lie or deliberately decorated, depending on what kind of kid you are).

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that VCA Animal Hospitals is owned by Mars IncEnglish
23·1 month agoI have 2 veterinarians in the family and both sold their practices to private investors. These private companies are buying up pet services as it’s one of the last places people pay medical bills without insurance. Pet insurance is also skyrocketing in popularity.
Hedge funds took our pets and created a lucrative industry exploiting our human need to care for others. Monetizing love is the most evil thing I can imagine and it is now a multi-billion dollar market.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Sweet tea is one of the worst beverages to ever existEnglish
3·2 months agoBitter sounds like hard water is altering the pH and pulling more tannins. Cleaner water, like RO water, will pull the flavonoids and fewer bitter tannins.
Second, the water needs to rest for a bit after boiling. 80C/180F is a good temp to pull maximum flavor with minimal tannins. This will again reduce the bitterness of the tea.
An easy alternative approach to tea making that will remove most bitterness is to cold brew the tea in water overnight, separate leaves and tea, and then slow heat the tea. It will have virtually none of the bitterness while keeping the flavor.
Pour the nearly boiling tea over sugar and ice cubes - clean water and slow freezing makes clear ice that leaves no flavor or residue in the tea. The sugar will melt but may require some additional stirring until thoroughly melted. Use more sugar than you might think, like 200g for each liter of tea.
Real sweet tea is a treat, like drinking candied tea.

You may have schizophrenia.
You don’t understand a global resource like information. Why would a market collapse in America cause digital serfdom in Europe? What would compel any other nation to follow in the steps of a collapsing superpower?
Further, let’s say that you’re right - what steps or actions would follow after the collapse? Who would enforce any of this shit? The billionaires who are the only ones who lost money and power? The politicians who are suddenly not getting paid by those same billionaires?
Fuck it, let the bubble break. Fuck the shareholders. Let it break down during Trump. Show the MAGA he only brings ruin.
No, we call one of the ingredients crab. The entire rangoon is called an appetizer.
20 Million collected per year by that one guy? Just call him a moth rancher.

What progress? Corporations are more concerned about making money, not moving anything forward. Why do you think it is so hard for businesses to evolve and change with the market? A corporation, by design, is inflexible unless ridiculously small, which prevents shareholder profitability due to retooling and retraining costs.
There is little difference between a corporation and a parasite that will kill its host.
Two at the same time or a sequence of johnsons?
Not much except that it came out after one of the greatest science fiction sequels of all time and couldn’t escape the shadow of its success. Also the lack of weapons for a prison seems like it’s less dungeon and more of an oubliette, which was never stated in the film but would make sense for how the prisoners are left to fend for themselves and have no regulation about mixing populations.
But I agree with you that the third one isn’t bad.

We give three names so when the dog is in trouble we can say all three and they know they fucked up.
Jesus H Christ, you shit on the rug again!
