Angela Christine posted:That reminds me, I've seen a bunch of lifehax/household tips to make your own stain remover, window cleaner, weed killer, etc., that specify Dawn dishwashing detergent. Sometimes even "blue" Dawn dishwashing detergent. Just once one specified "dishwashing soap (NOT Dawn)". WTF is up with dawn? We have Dawn here in Canada, but it appears to be identical to all the other brands. Is it made with pixie dust and nightmares or what? Not really sure what it is about Dawn that makes it different, but it cuts through oil and grease better than most dish soaps readily available at the grocery store. Makes for an effective flea shampoo, too.

Also hotdogs (at least everywhere I've ever lived) are sold pre-cooked so cooking them all the way through is not even in the tiniest bit an actual concern. The beginning and end of hot dog cooking is making them edibly warm because they're loving hot dogs. So the whole point of the Lifehack is meaningless.

Though even then most recipes and suggestions I know for other sausages include not breaking the skin because that lets them dry out and lose flavor, especially when grilling. I'm neither a chef nor well-versed in world cultures, so I could be the dumb one here.

I'm German, it took me ages to understand that Americans (and maybe other people) use "Hot Dog" interchangably with "the sausage usually put into the dish hot dog". For me, a hot dog is a Wiener (the sausage) in bread with condiments. The sausage alone is a Wiener. You wouldn't make a "hot dog" with, say, a Bratwurst. Or a typical Currywurst. A Knacker. A salami. Debreziner. What I'm saying is there are tons of sausage types.

Look at Wurstmeister over here all smug about sausage.  For real though you consider 'hot dog' to be a dish made with a particular type of sausage? In the English-speaking world, a hot dog is the sausage, usually but not always eaten on a bun with toppings and such. Putting a bratwurst on a bun with mustard, while probably tasty, doesn't (to us) make it a hot dog, but you might describe it as eating a bratwurst "like a hot dog". It is a very specific type of sausage with a smooth, uniform texture, loads of salt, and almost always an artificial casing or no casing at all, although "natural casing" hot dogs are a thing as well. Wiener Würstchen are pretty much that, although it looks like you get natural casing more often in Germany. Intercultural hot dog education happenin' here. Also I tried to look up what kind of sausage you would classify hot dogs as on the German Wikipedia (a type of Brühwurst, as it turns out) and I discovered to no surprise at all that y'all motherfuckers have a lot of articles about sausage.

Well, I guess to clear up my words about discount terrible sausage, in the US these (and only these) in this exact size, shape, composition, and horrifying sodium content are hot dogs. Typically on a bun with some combination of mustard, relish, ketchup, and onions that no matter what topping mix you pick someone will very angrily tell you is incorrect.

Making a taco in a chip packet is the single most stupid thing I've ever read, if it is genuine. Are you seriously going to walk down the street or drive in your car with a warm foil packet full of salsa, greasy mince, tomato, sour cream, etc? And then what, stick your fingers in the loving thing and scoop it all out?

Pocket Billiards posted:Making a taco in a chip packet is the single most stupid thing I've ever read, if it is genuine. Walking tacos! But yeah you use a fork. They're disgusting. My elementary school did them too and I couldn't even watch other people eat them, it looked too much like a bag of vomit. I think this type of poo poo is banned from schools now (thank god) but people still make them and get them from food carts. It has to be a nostalgia thing because there's literally 100s of better things you can get from a food truck nowadays.

Unless you used a ton of sunscreen all the little spots you'd miss because of the paint roller texture would turn brown. Where are you supposed to put the roller afterwards anyway? On your towel, and cover it in greasy sunscreen? On the beach and get a load of sand stuck to it? On a paint tray you've brought to the beach too?

I don't corkscrew, but I do slash my hotdogs before I broil them because it adds extra surface area for searing, same basic concept on the corkscrew though. Tastes good, man.

Lifehack: Learn to cope with citizens of a country having knowledge about their own local cuisine. Hot dogs may have been inspired by German cuisine but they're a wholly American invention, and the way none of the rest of you can quite wrap your heads around the term should serve as proof of that. Hot dog is the specific sausage and putting it on a bun is not thought of as a "dish" because it's an afterthought. None of these gross toddler food recipes say "take the sausage you'd normally use to make a hot dog and stick spaghetti in it," they say "take a hot dog." Because it's the sausage.
