I wonder how much steak juice gets under the collet/ locking mechanism. On a good day those things don't turn very easily. With steak and mashed potatoes in the mix I bet those harbor a lot of bacteria, too


Also those should be used for cutting up apples not steak.

Maybe they boil them in a big pot. You know, like how they used to sterilize operating tools back in the 1800's. Get all that lodged meat out of there.

While boiling would sterilize the metal, it would wreck the wood.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

It's mostly an American/European thing. The distinction between acronyms and initialisms was rarely a thing in the US until it somehow leaked into our culture, kind of like calling redheads "gingers."

Yeah they decided that Web 2.0 would be all crowd-sourced and discussion-in-the-comment-section for content, and it basically fostered the idea that one person's opinion has the same worth as another person's expertise.

Okay, what would happen if you had 100-meter sprinters start from a running treadmill instead of starting blocks? When they get up to full speed and you stop the treadmill, would they instantly accelerate and take off, fall flat on their face, or fly backwards?

I'd watch either way, I just want to know how best to set up the camera.

No they're not. Kids have no impact on anything. They'll grow up, file into the same lines we're in now, and vote the same way their parents did/didn't based on their own experience. Nothing will change because it's been made to not change.

I grew up thinking we could change the world, as I'm assuming you did. Guess what happened.

Well, circumstances were a bit different. If you're close to my age we grew up around the apex of the American Empire, then watched it start to decline with no idea of how to stop it, further muddied by the rapid changes in technology literally every few months. It doesn't excuse people our age, but it was different.

These kids grew up with a much more stable internet/communications infrastructure from birth alongside an America that has always been suffering for the sins of the last Century. They're in a prime position to both give a gently caress and give a gently caress in a meaningful way. Things likely won't change because of them, like you said our system has gotten really good at limiting the effectiveness of the lower classes thanks to the 60s, but the kids do ultimately have a better shot.

They wouldn't be in position to give their upper body any momentum, so it'd probably look pretty similar to a failed attempt at a backflip.

Hopeless nihilism is a defense mechanism: if you always expect the worst and are right, you get to be smug. If you're wrong you get a pleasant surprise. Either way you're absolved of responsibility to try to do anything about it, and if it shuts down discussion then more the better. It's a great way to escape the seething envy toward people able to feel positive emotion.

In any case, the world changes all the time. Sometimes it's for the better; sometimes it's not. Large blocks of motivated voters can in fact affect policy. Guess which generation is the biggest in American history.
