Bluetooth still can’t use HiFi audio either.

I like how you say months instead of years to make it seem shorter, and ignore the actual date of entry into the war for the USA.

Just admit you’re wrong, geez. Spam wasn’t developed for WW2, since it existed years before the war even started in Europe.

You don’t remember much from what you read about Spam did you.

Spam was developed for the US Army during WW2

I’m going to just stop you right there.

I don’t understand how someone can go on a fucking tirade so ignorantly wrong these days when SEARCH ENGINES AND WIKIPEDIA EXIST. It takes less than a giving damn minute to fucking check yourself damn it.

Spam literally existed before WW2.

PS: what you make is still not spam, nor will have the consistency of spam, although it will be similarish. I’ve cured my own meats too, except without the phosphates or nitrates, because I had dialysis.

Obviously nobody was making regulation Coca-Cola, but the dividing line is getting a lot less clear already. Why is a distillate of some cursed local herb fine, but fresh-squeezed cochineal dye not?

That question is called moving the goal posts. We were talking about soda, not something else.

I actually have emusifiers in my kitchen, and I didn’t have to buy them anywhere weird.

That you bought an ingredient produced via industrial processes doesn’t negate that the ingredient was made with industrial processes. It’s not really a “traditional home cooked meal” if you’re still using something that requires extensive machinery or chemical processes to create - even if you didn’t create them in your kitchen.

Your argument on using the additives in your kitchen as a point that it’s not ultra processed anymore is equivalent to me buying chemistry supply and making some paracetamol and saying it’s not a pharmaceutical drug but more akin to a herbal remedy because I made it myself.

Just stopping to point out that’s not food, you aren’t supposed to swallow it. It’s about equally as close to candy as to a teething ring.

And yet it’s sold in the candy section and has calories via sugar. Weird that this is the one you were able to easily identify as ultra processed.

Ah, but what if you live in a non English speaking country?

Traditional home cooked soda? You mean like the Native Americans did with pine needles before the settlers showed up?

No, because that was entirely different. You might as well say beer and everclear are the same thing. Or tea and coffee.

Spam is just jellied mince,

It’s not. That’s why the knock offs and alternatives tend to taste off as well - that’s what they make. Because jellied mince is easier to make.

Candy is mostly just cooked sugar

I didn’t say all candies. Obviously a honey ball isn’t the same as bubblegum.

Concoctions involving naturally occurring carbonated spring water were/are definitely a thing.

And none of them were really what we would call “soda”. Heck the closest to that would be modern root beer. But considering the lack of other “medicinal” herbs, they definitely don’t count.

Have been around as long as sugar, which is longer than industrialisation.

A lot of candies, not all of them. Certain candies have emulsifiers and other ingredients that didn’t exist historically, so you couldn’t get that texture or such. And a lot of modern chewing gum is plastic, so I think I don’t have to explain why that’s not possible in the kitchen.

Not sure about spam, but isn’t that just canned ham?

I actually read a book all about Spam once that they had in my school library, because I thought it was funny they had such a book. The name purportedly comes from the parts used: shoulder of pork and ham. It was therefore considered fancier than just ham.

But to make it, you’re not just canning the meats. You also need those preservatives for one thing - they’re part of the taste. I’m not sure celery powder would work as a substitute like it does for ham and bacon though.

Well I the CE agent by default is probably Maga, but I was talking about 3 separate people.

As for not understanding how their political beliefs would apply… You must either be a white American or incredibly naive.

How strongly would you believe that if all your housemates were MAGA, AI Startup CEO, and an ICE member?

If you say they wouldn’t be, then you’ve identified the limitation of the proposed solution.

Well I guess soda is safe to classify then.

Don’t know why traditional home cooked sodas.

Guess Spam too. You can’t really really get that text or taste by making it at home.

Hmmm definitely a lot of candies too.

Only after frying the coffee beans of course

I’m pretty sure those are valuable just because I thought they didn’t make DDR4 in such a low configuration.

Like by having such a sophisticated username as “slurpingpus”?

What’s funny is your experience is similar to mine except my family was Hispanic and living in the USA. I went to work with my mom or dad s lot too, both before and after school, even up to my preteens.

We didn’t boil the tap but we didn’t really drink it either - it smelled weird (later testing showed it had some heavy metals and other hazardous chemicals - likely from the nearby refineries) - instead we went to this water well thing where we would out 5 gallon jugs of water (like the one in water coolers) and got water they’re for drinking.

We did get the internet sooner, at least I suppose. But for awhile my experience with the internet were those “free trial” discs the companies gave because internet was (and I hear still is) expensive.

I originally marked it because there was just too much raw pure Linux power exuded from the video.

I forgot for a moment Epilepsy existed in my daze.

I added the written epilepsy warning after 😅

Some of us here think it’s no coincidence the move was considered just as a right wing government happens to be in power. Especially since there was no significant cost savings from the proposed move.

It was already unpopular, but the USA going full Putin now has the average Finn also seeing it as suspicious, instead of just the left wing.

But how does one switch from Lemmy to Piefed?

If you want Firefox minus the AI fluff, also Waterfox. I’ve been using it on Linux.

That article is pretty outdated by now (about 5 years old), and a lot of the concerns have since been addressed.

It also was written before the security and memory leak issues Matrix has were widely revealed .

For underwear, I’ve had one main issue so far with every European brand I’ve tried (Finnish, German, Italian, Spanish); they’re, umm, too “tight” down there. Like it feels like they want to keep it so tight that they suffocate your potential progeny out of existence 😅

So assuming you’re a dude and maybe on the bigger side in that region, although it’s not European and is Japanese, Muji has a specific line of underwear that has an extra big pouch like space sown that’s more comfortable to wear. They’re also pretty breathable and last a good while.

I don’t remember what they’re called though, since I get them from my local Muji store in Finland.

As for pants - that’s just luck based. I’ve resorted to either pants that are too big and using suspenders or having a tailor modify used pants when I can afford to. Sweatpants when possible otherwise. I’m considering looking into Scottish Kilts for the summer though. I don’t care what people might think at this point - I just want room down there.
