Rice confirmed sentient and sapient. Vegans everywhere are in tears. International governments are drafting a Bill of Rice to ensure the rights of these beings. Churches are redirecting rice purchased for weddings to be given directly to their missionaries. Little do we know, the grains will soon band together and revolt, and the Rice War will be upon us.

Oh man we’d be so fucked if all plants were sentient. We’d still eat, but we’d be doomed to commit plant war crimes to live
RedstoneValley@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
They could be sentient without us knowing. But they live on a different time scale. Everything we do to them would happen very quickly in their perception. So don’t worry and bon appetit.

And isn’t rice pudding just grain-based yogurt?

In these trying times, remember to not buy into Big Rice propaganda!

The hate jar has visible condensation. The moisture probably is driving the mold growth.

And this is how you fail in teaching your children science.

One, day… some adult is going to think “that fucking cunt ass bitch lied to me about the rice”.
python@programming.dev 2 months ago
Is this like, some weird parent “lesson” thing you’re actually supposed to fake? Like maybe you’re supposed to put some vinegar in the good jar to prevent mold growth, and the goal is to make your dumbass children behave?
Entropywins@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No better lesson learned than being lied to by those in authority…

“Words truly matter” but I can’t understand for the life of me what these ones mean. Can someone help me out.
niktemadur@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Words have powers bordering on magic, I guess is the idea.
And for many people that’s true, for as long as they are willing to believe that.So I guess what I’m saying is that placebos have powers bordering on magic.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 months ago
If this is an explanation it doesn’t make it clearer
UNY0N@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Well that’s an opinion I xan get behind, placebos are certainly more powerful than common sense would dictate.

So what the fuck is up with the rice??
rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If rice has feelings, consider the unimaginable horror you’re inflicting when you eat a bowl of it for lunch.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
i would fucking hope it’s dead by then, just like how i don’t worry about the feelings of a cooked porkchop
the horrifying part is when the rice is harvested and processed, dear lord

Greg@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Huh, it really makes you think… some people have no idea how to run an experiment or about statistical significance.
LANIK2000@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Nah, they actively avoid it. My mom was also like this, and when we did experiments as a kid and something didn’t work “we were just doing it wrong”.
Asafum@feddit.nl 2 months ago
Sounds like my mom too.
She practiced reiki at one point and wanted to convince me it works by trying it on me. When I said I didn’t feel anything at all her reply was “oh well that’s probably just because you don’t believe in it.”
…I love you mom, but yes that is it and not in the way you think it is lol

We’ve finally figured out how to develop an active sourdough starter in record time. You curse at it.

Now I feel bad for blue cheese, must have been abused all this time.

So hate helped sprouting mold, therefore new life?

All I can see is that this might be evidence that jars with green lids ate bad for storing food.

I think this is a wink towards the idea that your plants grow better when you talk lovey-dovey to them
menemen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It is probably true though. Speaking to them every day, means looking at them every day and thus seeing problems immediately okay, so bot true, but still effective.
madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m also open to the idea of doing research if sound waves stimulating something, somehow. At least there’s something to look at. But writing on a jar? That’s just nonsense.
systemglitch@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah I’ve always found that silly, they just like our breath.
Sneptaur@pawb.social 2 months ago
It’s really funny how the “bad” rice is photoshopped
taiyang@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Eww after four days that rice is very much ruined. Freeze your rice and you can put the most vile words you want on the jar. Or not, because this is stupid and you’re wasting rice.
MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Even rice can read now?

Once I saw some amazing effect after talking positively to water too. I came to the scientific conclusion the acid I took was really good.
Burninator05@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Do you have a source for that experiment that isn’t trying to sell special water?
Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
Masaru Emoto’s “experiments” are not scientifically legit. They are at best artistic photography. But his so-called science in regard to water/ice crystals is rubbish and does not stand up to scrutiny, it is not reproducible. He makes a lot of money from common people at his events.
AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 2 months ago

BugleFingers@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Should…shouldn’t the one with mold be the I love you one? Since that’s what promoted the most growth and success of life?
AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So if I hate my rice it gets some peppers added to make it hot and spicy?

I want to believe that the kids mentioned in posts like this are playing along with their parents’ delusions so they don’t have to sit through another lecture about how the Federal Reserve is a Ponzi scheme and they’re chemtrailing us with fluoride.

I wanted to dismantle the state for a socialist ideal in at least middle school. I didn’t like punk until freshmen year of high school though, so we all go through changes even if my politics have mostly stayed the same.

I have a similar story. I’m glad you grew up, and I hope adulthood is treating you well!

They brought in a special teacher for my AP US history, straight from the Masonic lodge i figure.
Made the usual teacher, a liberal guy, take a sabatical year.
Thanks secret government assholes.

i genuinely question this idea, i certainly never believed in magic.

Haha you reminded me of a video of some poor young teen having to film his mother making chemtrails disappear by spraying a bottle of vinegar at them.
He was so unenthused.
Ithral@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I mean technically the federal reserve is a ponzi scheme they charge interest on money printed requiring more money to be paid back than they printed. Ergo there isn’t enough print money in existence to pay them back.
madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Regular economic thinking doesn’t work on the scale of nations. Just like a family having debt is not the same thing as a country having debt.
Pretty much everyone in the world has no full idea how an economy works and how to best stimulate it. It’s like a trillion moving parts and smart asses always go “yea this pin over here? That’s the one that’s the problem / solution”
Pretty much no-one knows. We have ideas what’s better / worse but anyone who tells you they’ve got it figured out, is lying.
