I had no idea the Illuminati were a real group. I thought they were just some abstract boogeymen. Shows how ignorant I am. :(

Pecker! Wait, that’s not a woodpecker, it looks more like…

Toss my salad, Caesar

Definitely #3, but I’m still waiting for the coffee to kick in.

Huh. In that context, Emperor Little Boots doesn’t seem so silly and strange anymore.

What did it originally say instead of “Kingdom Algeria?” 🤔

I really like onions on a hot dog but that is too much raw onion

Speaking of native Americans and agricultural practices, this brings to mind the Three Sisters: maize, beans, and squash.

When the three are planted together, intermixed, they support each other and maintain the fertility of the soil. Maize provides upright support for the beans to climb. Squash provides ground cover against weeds. They all use different ratios of key soil nutrients. What’s more, when consumed together, these plants provide all the amino acids needed for high-quality, low-cost vegetarian protein!

I understand that this makes it challenging to harvest large fields and sell each crop individually. And it does nothing for those who produce cotton and tobacco as cash crops. It is a very sustainable way to manage a garden, though!

Is piefed a different thing than lemmy? I assumed it was just another lemmy instance. I’m subscribed to this community using the same reader as the old one, and everything seems to function the same. tbh, I still don’t have a very good grasp of the “fediverse.”

If it’s temporary then I’d better enjoy it while I can

I like the look of the barbute the best

America still has an alcohol problem. It may have been worse back then, and it may not be as bad as some other countries today, but still. You can’t convince me there’s anything healthy about the drinking culture surrounding sports, college life, and all manner of special events.

Prohibition was definitely the wrong way to go about it. It introduced all kinds of problems. I think the aim of ending alcohol consumption is a noble one, but the only way for it to work is for people to want to not drink.

I think restricting the advertisement of alcohol (as stringently as we currently restrict the advertisement of tobacco) would be a huge step in the right direction.
