For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

    Unless it’s boiled before they bake it, it’s not a fucking bagel, it’s doughnut-shaped bread. Bagels also do not contain blueberries, and any suggestion to the contrary should be met with a swift ass whooping.

      This made me think, “Everything” bagels don’t actually include blueberries, but it’s literally supposed to contain everything! Irrefutable proof that blueberries can’t be in bagels

    Chunky peanut butter is better than smooth (unless the recipe demands otherwise, of course). I like peanut butter because I like peanuts, dammit. I also prefer fresh peanut butter to that Jif crap. Having to stir it to mix the peanut oil back in is a small price to pay. The only ingredient in peanut butter should be PEANUTS.

      I like chunky style because all peanut butter has an FDA approved limit on how many bug parts a jar can have per gram, and it makes it easier not to think about what that crunch was.

    There are three drinks you can call a martini:

    • A martini is gin and vermouth, maybe with some bitters if you like
    • A vodka martini is vodka and vermouth, bitters again optional
    • A vesper martini is gin, vodka, and lillet blanc
    • Any of the above can be made “dirty” with olive brine if you want

    Anything else is a cocktail in a martini glass. No shade if you like apple schnapps, lemon juice, and vodka, drink what you like, but it’s not a martini.

    Artificial sweeteners is one of the reasons I’m not obese. You can quote me all the studies you want, diet coke is not a gateway drink to regular coke, and splenda on my black coffee doesn’t make me crave a caramel macchiato.

      Yeah. I don’t get it either. Artificial sweetners are way more effective at stimulating your tastebuds than sugar for the calories.

      Why would anyone switch to an inferior product which ruins your health if they have the option not to??

        I can taste all of the artificial sweeteners. My spouse uses them constantly and they taste sideways to me. My partner doesn’t taste much of a difference so If we ever get drinks mixed up I’m the poison tester.

        The only way to get them to taste fine enough is by using a mixture of a few different ones. I’m sure my experience is similar to people who have the cilantro soap thing.

          I think high fructose corn syrup taste like literal poison. I can taste it in anything and everything it’s in. Funny thing though. Your tastebuds acclimate, and you get used to flavors (either HFCS or Aspartame). I still struggle with stevia, sometimes, but it’s far easier to look past than high fructose corn syrup.

            Artificial sweetners do taste “off” to me, but tastebuds can acclimate to it. The rest of my digestive system? Not so much. Let’s just say there is a reason it is pronounced ASS-partame.

            My partner has been doing low carb for around 5 years now. I’m assuming it takes longer? I usually try everything they make. From ice cream to syrups to cakes.

            Real talk though, I love xanthan gum. I know it’s garbage.

    The Oxford comma is bad. The “and” conveys the end of the list just fine.

    Gaming laptops are good and have been for decades.

    Soup is not food. If you spill your drink over my plate of pasta I call that a ruined plate of pasta.

      Speaking of commas & “and”, I hate that people refuse to use the word “and” in news headlines, they replace it with commas instead and it’s just a worse reading experience, I really don’t understand why this is a thing.

        Because every character used to cost, both in page real estate and ink on page. Today, it still does in page real estate even if the bits that make up the page are basically free.

          Makes some kind of sense, I just feel like it hurts readability way too much to be acceptable.

          Like “Norway, Sweden makes energy deal with Denmark, Germany” is very hard to parse, reads like Norway is a place in Sweden and Denmark a place in Germany.

    I loathe tomatoes on burgers and will throw it in your face if you serve it to me.

    Absolutely pointless taste wise and all that water is what makes the bread and patty move around with no respect for each other.

      Ooooh them’s fighting words. Have you tried a burger with a homegrown tomato? Pretty night and day, might just change your mind.

      [Image description: a plate with a burger and sides. The burger is open and ready to be assembled, one bun has sauce and a slice of an heirloom tomato, the other has the patty, cheese, pickles and bacon.]

    Those big SUV like Ford f150 should be illegal, for real. They are super long and tall, the driver can barely see what’s right in front, it’s dangerous for everyone not in the car. Cars should have stricter limits on size, if it’s bigger, you need a special license.

    I will return anything sent to me in an Amazon package.

    I went directly to your site for a reason, which is to avoid Amazon. If you secretly fulfill from Amazon or Amazon Warehouses, I will return the item and shop elsewhere.

    Phones are for talking, navigating, and casual content consumption. Desktops (and laptops) are for actually getting things done. Both are useful, but the former is not a substitute for the latter.

    Tablets are oversized phones that can’t even phone. I don’t see any use for them that isn’t better served by something else. They’d actually be useful if they ran a desktop operating system, and some early ones did, but modern ones don’t.

    Pizza is not made on a grill or with cornmeal on the bottom, it’s made on a hot stone, with flour on the bottom of the dough to keep it from sticking. It also does not ever touch pineapples or ranch dipping sauce. What in the actual fuck is wrong with people?

      I won’t question the cooking on stone part, but as far as toppings on pizza go I honestly don’t care. Everyone has different tastes and if someone wants to put whatever abomination on their pizza so be it.

      Also I actually like pineapple on pizza, but it’s not my favorite. I don’t know why people get so offended by it
