Taiwan has amazing street food as well and they haven't been bombed. E: I have a ton of photos from there but here's a gif for the gif thread  I think all of the above explanations are part of it of course, but we also don't see so much street food in Europe, where you do have dense, walkable cities that were bombed into poo poo during WW2, and the population was (and in some cases still is poor) as dirt. Like you'd have an occasional vendor selling hot dogs or pastries but that's pretty much it outside of special events like christmas markets or festivals. mobby_6kl has a new favorite as of 08:52 on Sep 25, 2022 |

Wanted to know more... looked it up, this was the only footage I found of the full chase, but there's no sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn8Z5lWN4TE Guy was was wanted in connection to a string of purse thefts. Led them on at least a half hour chase from video start... ends with a non gun ACAB. Guy should be offered a job driving rally cars.

Not a gif, nor a street, but a Singaporean food hall just opened up in Manhattan. https://www.thrillist.com/news/new-york/urban-hawker-singaporean-food-hall-opens-nyc Maybe we will see more of this in cities at least.

Megillah Gorilla posted:So many Western cities are actively unfriendly to pedestrians.  There's fewer stalls than in Asian coutnries but in most European countries you'll see lots of street food carts or stalls at markets and in city centers and such. And does it only count as street food if it's from a stall? otherwise there are tons of snackbars and döner places and such where you're basically expected to eat your food outside, street food post to make everyone hungry: https://va.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_r9zw7dIZUF1w4vglm.mp4 https://va.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_qzo8d0uHDV1v62me4.mp4 https://va.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_qhoxd4fNFB1y8aven.mp4 https://va.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_r7mrp5WhVI1z8ckep.mp4

Zil posted:Yeah food trucks are becoming more and more a thing in cities due to outrageous rents. Hell they even get together in big groups near office parks like some kind of mobile food court. Where I live two of the main north/south roads have a food truck on every corner from one end of the city to the other. Changing from taco trucks to BBQ depending on the neighborhood in the vicinity with the odd Caribbean or Jamaican truck sprinkled throughout. There's also this guy who set up a fryer in the parking lot of an abandoned cash a check selling fried conch. No truck just a big fryer and a table. I think he lives in the door way of the building.

Got me a bit of an odd request- I seem to recall a gif or webm of what seemed to be some kind of sketch, where a bunch of dudes in blue suits re-enacted an 8-bit video game fight, complete with appropriate sound effects. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or better yet, have the source video? Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask.

ughhhh posted:One part of it is that, most of the popular street food cultures you talk of (Japan, Korea, Vietnam) have one thing in common. The USA bombed them to rubble. Most of the foods cooked were the direct result of not having buildings to cook out of/using materials like spam and wheat from food aid in street kitchens. Ramen, sushi, different types of street pancakes (pajeon, okonomi yaki), spam got their popularity boosted due to the fact they were the most readily available foods. Nah. Street food isn't a result of places being bombed. Even from your examples why would there be street food in parts of Japan or Korea that we didn't bomb? Why is there street food in basically every other country? So many odd takes here. Ramen and sushi existed before ww2. Mexico has street food. What?

So you're saying we need bombing campaigns against most of the US.

A good bombing is a good opportunity to radically rethink the architecture right down to how streets are laid out. Just sayin' Just don't waste the opportunity, like they did post war Europe.

CrocodileKingSaysNO posted:i dont know how to make my video just show up on the page instead of being an imgur link, i wanted to share too Get the direct link to the video. So MP4 or what ever Imgur has it as and then just post it without tags. The forums will magic up URL tags for it and people will see it inline. If you want to be fancy add your own URL tags. Just opening and closing tags, nothing tricky like renaming a link.

It's the {i.} before imgur.com that denotes an image link => i.imgur.com/(filename)(.mp4). Type that to the normal link you get and it works. (Might need to add .mp4 at the end but should work automatically)
