Aluminum has always been my favorite element and metal. I feel the urge to punch this anon in his aluminum-hating fuckface.

Is this a joke I’m too dense to get or is this just plain bullshit? What I found on Wikipedia was this:

Haggis (Scottish Gaelic: taigeis) is a savoury pudding containing sheep’s pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with chopped onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal’s stomach though now an artificial casing is often used instead.

I don’t even think a three-legged mammal exists. However I did find this: (emphasis mine)

Wild haggis (given the humorous taxonomic designation Haggis scoticus) is a fictional creature of Scottish folklore, said to be native to the Scottish Highlands. It is comically claimed to be the source of haggis, a traditional Scottish dish that is in fact made from the innards of sheep.

But obviously that’s something different as it’s native to Scotland and is just fictional.

lol so it was a joke. I would have totally fell for it if I had not heard of it before and still had a vague impression of what it was.

一 (one) also means top (in gay contexts). It’s because 0 looks like a hole and 1 looks like a penis.

Thank you for giving the correct explanation. Pretty sure all those other “explanations” are just jokes though.

I set my AC to 26°C (79°F) in summers. As far as I know, most people in my country do somewhere between 20 and 26°C (68~79°F).

Yes, they are. In fact I made a multiple-page-long post (on my old lemm.ee account) to the lemm.ee meta community asking to defederate from hexbear.net. Fortunately now you can just block an instance.

Edit: to be clear, I am not criticizing lemm.ee admins. They have their own reasons to not block hexbear.net, and I respect their decision.

Yes, that is what they’re aiming for.

Where I live, soy milk is less than half the price of cow boob milk. Perks of living in East Asia, I guess.

I bought a 936 mL (1/4 gallons) carton of soy milk today, and it was only about US$1.1 (NT$35). Very affordable.

They don’t sell milk or soy milk in gallons. The soy milk I got was 936 mL. 936 mL is 0.2472 gallons, which just so happens to be close to a quarter gallon. A quarter gallon is closer to 946 mL.

When I wrote the previous comment, I actually thought that 936 mL was exactly 1/4 gallons, and it kind of surprised me. The tool I used to convert units rounded the result to 2 decimal places.

I tried to look it up, but I couldn’t find any convincing answers. I did find one answer saying it has to do with the milk’s density, but the density is about 1.03 (both dairy and soy milk) and when you run the numbers you get that 936 mL is only 0.964 kg.

There is also no pre-metric units for volume, so that isn’t it either. Also, some other milk brands sell their milk in 930 mL, 1857 mL, 1858 mL or some other really arbitrary number.

My guess is that it’s close enough to a full liter so that the customers buy this thinking they got a liter of milk.

Indeed it isn’t universal. My Android phone can’t do this.

I just sent them a simple email with the subject being “arbitration opt-out” and a body of “I opt out of mandatory arbitration.”

AAAAXY. It’s a really nerdy game where you are in a non-euclidian (escherian) space. I’ve already poured more than 30 hours into this game. It’s available on Linux as a Flatpak (recommended if you don’t know which to choose), an AppImage, or a native binary. divverent.github.io/aaaaxy (ps. it’s open-source)
