Hi, sorry, I know we've moved on a bit but this topic is far too vitally and perenially important to the national health and common good of all mankind to be allowed to let lie;

What are you lunatics talking about? The contest is and has always been between Roast Beef and Pickled Onion, with Pickled Onion a distant Tory second to Labour's honest, hardworking Roast Beef. Flamin' Hot is for lib dems desperate to feel something in their hollow lives.

What’s the odds on more floor crossers being announced over the period of this Lib Dem conference? It wouldn’t surprise me at all if this is it and it was done on day 1 purely to try and remind people their conference was actually happening.

it's bikeshedding. even on the internet, only a minority of people are happy to offer an opinion on history or politics or current affairs or whatever. whenever someone makes the mistake of bringing up a topic that anybody can offer an opinion on, surprise, people come out of the woodwork to give their two cents

and crisps? well what colour you should paint the crisps is something everyone understands

i feel like it has another, more social function here - this is a thread in which extremely serious topics are discussed as well as a thread in which people come into conflict. we need these dumb little diversions - it lets people cool off, it keeps the tone light and disarms a lot of the language that people throw at each other when they're angry.

we argue endlessly about monster munch so that we don't argue endlessly about factionalism, basically. how successfully, an exercise for the reader

Can I make a genuine appeal here to just loving stop crispchat altogether? It's not funny, it's not entertaining, it adds absolutely nothing of value to the thread* and it completely swamps actual interesting and important posts. It's a worse noise generator than any amount of Pissflaps posts (especially as there is at least *some* signal in there). This also includes the even more worthless "Ho ho I nearly mentioned <x> there" posts that accompany any attempt to make this thread a bit less poo poo.

I'm not saying that we have to retain some kind of laser-like focus on the debate and discussion of UK politics ITT - derails often *are* interesting, entertaining, funny or all three - but this navel-gazing bullshit makes the thread loving unreadable, and I am willing to forego talking about Terry Pratchett in here just to ensure there's no repeat of the utter loving fiasco that has been this thread today.

Seems about right, people are just confused at the moment.

Tom Watson and Blair coming out saying a second referendum has to happen before a general election was a really good sign, the pedo elite are concerned that a general election would produce more growth in the labour vote and would potentially lead to a labour/rainbow coalition government united around second-ref.

Maybe we do need more variety in our regular bikeshed derails, though crisps are a very good fit as basically everyone in britain has had some engagement with the topic, there's a wide variety, there is no objective answer and never will be, there's hardly any actual depth to it to get to grips with beyond "i just happen to like these but not these", and you have to stretch very far to find a way for the discussion to actually matter at all

Levi Strauss tight boxers. I can get packs of them for a decent price off the market.

Fully expect to learn how they're made from endangered species by Congolese sweatshops for the benefit of French banks now though.

If the creator had intended humans to be shackled to the tyranny of modesty then we would have been born with the relevant skin flaps.

However as getting your bits stuck in the zipper is a greater tyranny I suffer the degradation of boxers.

The first woman was made from Adam's penis bone according to the orthodox reading of Genesis.

Second woman if you believe in the version where Lilith comes first.

Personally I like the version where God creates Adam as non-binary (Gen 1:27) and only makes a gender binary when Adam gets mad (Gen 2:22) although I can appreciate the angry Lilith version.

The idea that humans were designed by an intelligent but also rather malicious creator is one that while I know it isn't true, has an intrinsic appeal.

If it’s not crisp chat, it’s boat chat or loving cyclist chat.

I like the little diversions because they generally only come up when the thread needs the time to cool down a little. except cyclist chat, gently caress cyclist chat

When I was little and nobody had explained it to my apparently very delicate ears, I was instead told by my grandma that it was indeed a rib, which is why now all men have one fewer rib than women. Very specifically not a pair, one single rib, leaving men with 12 on the right side and 11 on the left. e; to clarify in order to avoid slandering my dear, late Granny Sadie, the grandma in question was on the other side, Lembit's mother.

Feeling my own ribcage did not seem to bear this out, though in retrospect, maybe it was evidence of my transness.

P.s. Crisp chat is invaluable to me as when I visited to interview a week ago there was a vending machine in Manchester Airport by the gate that only had roast beef monster much and if not for this thread I might have bought some. I only remember monster munch being good as a kid, not the flavour specifics. Saved!
