Same thing goes for the dairy product of the same name. It’s all over the place and will take some uprooting across a variety of cultures.

I learned the slur meaning of the word before I learned any of the other ones so it has been super weird for me seeing all of the other stuff that uses it.

That one comes from a different origin and doesn't mean the same thing, it's just an unfortunate coincidence.

I saw them in a Korean grocery store and was like "huh I wonder what those are for" (thai curries, mostly) and it turns out I'm doing a hate crime in South Africa by shopping there. What a world.

Then I started spending time in South Africa. At first I assumed the word was kinda like "gringo", and referred to white folks. It is capital N letter bad, except that black folks can't use it either- it never went through that ownership phase that African-Americans went through with the American slur in the sixties. There are plants like the "Monkey Orange" that used to be named differently...

FWIW the grandfather of a black friend of mine thought it was hysterical that I only knew Brazil nuts by the name "Brazil nuts".

Edit: not same, opposite. Learned the Arabic meaning first.

Well I'll be damned. I could swear I looked it up in the milk context a few years ago and found the name was being gently phased out and that it was from the same origin, but now I look like a dang fool.

But anyway ^^ I read The Power of One and The Covenant a long time ago and it sure stuck with me from there

Boomers all boiled or microwave steamed vegetables, but they all grew up eating slimy canned vegetables so to their palates it was still a major improvement. Before that people were basically getting what they could fresh when it was in season and if they were able. Developments in shipping and food production have given us fresh food in greater variety and at lower cost than any time in human history.

There had to be a period when people who had known the world before industrial canned vegetables started buying canned vegetables, realized they were poo poo, but kept doing it anyway. I'm not going to look it up, but I bet it was around the same time as stuff like corn flakes were invented. When advertisements were all about telling you how "digestible" and "pure" their products were. If it's bland as hell you know it's not adulterated. There's nothing in your sad can of peas and carrots but peas and carrots, and it's so digestible you don't even need teeth to chew 'em.

There was a time when getting enough food to enough people was a legitimate genuine problem that required a massive technological solution in shelf stability

A lot of people got used to what they had to deal with then and passed on those habits to their kids



It wasn't really a conspiracy or anything, just a reaction to the conditions that existed

Incels hate open relationships because

- the woman can gently caress 2 guys (gasp, that whore)
- the woman can gently caress a girl (gasp, that's gay)
- the man can gently caress a guy (gasp, that's gay)
- the man can gently caress 2 women (so unfair)
- the 3 women can gently caress 8 guys who are loving 9 guys (gasp, that's too much math)

Basically any and all combinations of poly sex is an affront to the precious little feelings of dudes with terminal drydick

They view open relationships as women attempting to normalize an open version of the incel "betabux, chad fucks" paradigm.

This is stupid, because amongst straights at least, poly is usually just two people blowing up a dead relationship in the same way you use dynamite to get rid of a whale corpse. Just a super exciting way to dramatically get rid of rotting obstruction.

Yeah, definitely. And when you consider what early industrialized food was like, The Jungle and all that poo poo, I can kinda get it. There was this tie in to the new age movement too, you nailed it on the head when you said that the obsession was with things being "pure."

There is no such thing as a champion chihuahua unless we're talking about chihuahuas of old ancient aztec ankle biting times.

It takes a lot of brainpower to be as dumb as a golden. A bulldog might sit happily for a couple of hours watching a wall, in which time a golden will have located a Venetian blind and gotten completely tangled in it.

Canning was a major development in both food preservation and transportation that increased the quality and variety of food a lot of people had access too. Having a wide variety of fresh produce at your fingertips is a pretty modern thing for people who aren't Dukes or Sultans or whatever.

I'm sure there were people who noted that canned asparagus weren't as good as fresh, but then fresh asparagus was a few weeks a year kind of thing.
