Twitter C/D

dan s i think what a lot of people are reacting to is the idea that you have to keep eating the same dish for 5 days. you can make other things with the same ingredients. if you can’t think of anything else to do you could just make like a “salad”, an “omelette” a “soup” .. humanity has faced this issue before

omg yes

they've cracked the code

really timely that this popped up right after my meal discussion with coworkers yesterday afternoon. there was much talk of freezing soups, stock, and sauces and how owning a chest freezer is great if you have the space

the coworker whose wife doesn't eat leftovers apparently has insisted that they'd end up with more freezer burned items, as they keep having that issue in their fridge, is WRONG imo. you get freezer burn by regularly opening and closing the freezer and having things that are open but not well-sealed. stuff in a chest freezer is much less likely to have that issue imo

any excuse

You can't freeze my BLTs cause you'll get none of these
at ease

George Costanza would solve this dilemma by keeping a platter of sandwiches at the ready by his bedside just in case an appropriately intimate moment should arise

timely post, was just thinking about getting a chest freeze vs upright freezer xp

a chest freezer is an incredibly family friendly food extension device. ours deserves a memorial stone when finally it kicks, but at 21 y/o it hums along.

yeah those things seem to last forever, you could prob pick up a 20 y/o one for nothing and itd keep going another 20

Love how you all engaged with the tweet I posted. Hardly been here all day so catching up now. Thank you ❤️

bought a chest freezer like the one in the video, 90% of which are newly identical, in the first year of the pandemic and just restocked it with essentials and junk (cart full of Trader Joe’s frozen bags and boxes) every so often and it’s not near needing defrosting 3.5 years later

my Costco purchase of many tuna steaks was unnecessary but seems freezer-stable

oops

Look at Snapchat trucking along there. Worth noting that it's recently been explicitly marketing itself as "not social media," and the ways in which it's not probably do have something to do with why it's not doing as terribly as the platforms that usually get more attention.

funny that the supposedly red hot tiktok is down too

is fb marketplace responsible for their sustained success?

yeah and also weird niche groups - in some ways feels like fb is a reddit clone in that respect

I know the place has been getting slowly worse since Elon bought it but it feels like it's reached an inflection point recently. I was on during last night Bucks/Lakers game and most of the Bucks guys I follow just weren't tweeting and the ones that did either wouldn't get put in my timeline, or they did but wound up out of order. When I first loaded up the site 3 of the first 5 tweets were the exact same one (letting me know there's a new Scooter album out, nice). Every time I clicked a tweet there were multiple replies by pornbots. Nearly all the ads are of this disgusting roided out shirtless man pounding raw eggs. A bunch of the discourse was about whether or not the Baltimore bridge incident was caused by DEI. I uhhh do not think this place is coming back.

yeah if you go on there to search a breaking news story all the result are accounts making "jokes" with gifs or memes or people doing very low quality conspiracy shit, there used to be people who knew what they were talking about giving you the straight dope

coupled with the general collapse of journalism as an industry its not great where is news now

huge if true

$43 quadrillion is a nice chunk of change

I don’t know about the amount of gold that was brought back but I can confirm that they used 650 planes to load it .#PPN #650planes pic.twitter.com/lQ9HrDpUCZ

Mansa Musa’s got nothing on the Vatican rescue operation.

interesting how the ai is reproducing lens distortion but it looks weird and wrong

43 million billion dollars were confiscated from the tunnel connecting the Vatican to the island of Maui Hawaii, 1,500 miles long and 15km deep underground. White helmets transported 650 military flights to be stored on a mountain. From this tunnel, thousands of children and… pic.twitter.com/yxGNck9CRg

The limited scope of that community note is kind of funny. Like where to start with the rest of it, but at least we can say that the Vatican and Hawaii are pretty far apart.

Oh wait, nm, there are more notes now.

this thing is reminding me of a time when I used to think conspiracy theories were fun. Except that even this has a bunch of maga-ish shit mixed in with it.

a little conspiracy goes a long way

Get this: the last time I was on Maui was for a Catholic wedding, and the last Catholic wedding* I attended was on Maui... #ppn

*should note that one of the bride's aunts was earmarked in the program to perform "Ave Maria" and I thought to myself "oh man, that's a lot of pressure" and sure enough she turned out to be ex-opera and casually belted out a remarkable rendition with a smile on her face while winking at folks.

Spam bot owners say it's gotten easier to drive traffic since Elon Musk bought Twitter

• Site has less moderation
• Gaming top-ranked replies on bigger accounts
• Using blue checks for amplification
• Made 'a killing' off the 'Netflix and F U C K M E' posts

"made a killing from Netflix and F U C K M E" should really be the thread title

Big Pussy, of course.

xp thank you for your service

They added a warning label to my account because I posted #BlockTheBlue too many times lmao.

(Also had to pass some new? Aukus verification system to log in, which system has some major bugs. As well as being quite tedious.)

Got locked out of my account for 24 hours after saying Jordan Peterson should be run over.

Congrats

I felt really unclean a couple weeks back after Roger Stone replied to something I had tweeted. I guess he (or someone working for him) must make a habit of searching his mame on X, because I didn't @ him or whatever.

The best part though is how pathetic his attempt at a retort was. My tweet was commenting on something someone said about how every shitty person in public life who gets caught doing bad things nowadays follows Trump's pattern of doubling down, denying, attacking, etc. I mentioned that we also have Roy Cohn and Roger Stone to thank for people resorting to those strategies... Stone's response to me was some drivel concerning Hunter Biden and his laptop!

I would have thought he’d have taken your tweet as a compliment.

Seems more than likely it's a bot that searches out Stone's name and almost as likely that it was a bot that replied to you.

It’s Roger, he gets bored watching his wife get railed out by a Nixon impersonator or whatever
