Was pistachio ice cream also red?

I saw ‘BHM’ and read it as ‘big handsome men’. Was confused for a bit.
- Comment on Why aren't there more mice with 360° scrolling? 1 week ago:
After trying some more search terms combinations, I see two mice now from Microsoft that resemble the Magic Mouse. But I’m really struggling to find anything else?
What I’m not finding is my dream mouse, which would have an ergonomic design, lots of customizable physical buttons like my Logitech mouse, but with an additional 360° scrolling input (either a touch sensitive area or a trackball (sized large enough so dirt clogging wouldn’t an issue)). It just seems like an obvious product to me; I’m surprised it doesn’t seem to exist yet.

- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 2 weeks ago:
Mass migration like that occurs (from my memory at least) when the newer alternative has a much better functionality, performance, and ease of use compared to the status quo service and has a low barrier to entry (sign up is quick and straightforward). Do any of the decentralized Discord alternatives fit these criteria (honest question, not rhetorical)?
- Comment on Save as PDF 2 weeks ago:
I discovered on Macs, you can unlock a “protected” PDF this way. Just open the PDF in Safari, File > Print > Save as PDF. It outputs a PDF that’s identical, except it’s unlocked (it doesn’t get converted to a bunch of raster images).

- Comment on We need an alternative to YouTube that's NOT destined to be shut down quickly unlike sites like Blip, Metacafe, VIdMe, Zippcast or Storyfire. And it's NOT PeerTube. 3 weeks ago:
I’m out of the loop. What’s wrong with PeerTube?

- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task – MIT Media Lab 4 weeks ago:
It seems intuitive but also 2000 years ago people thought that for example the eye emitting some sort of substance that interacts with the surrounding environment to be an intuitive explanation for how vision works, so intuitions need to be tested.

- Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space 1 month ago:
For similar reasons, I feel like Gameboy Advanced cartridges were the optimal size for handheld consoles. Switch cartridges are so tiny and fragile.
- Comment on Wikipeter was the founder of the site in 1993 when he wanted to know more about model trains without having to visit the library 1 month ago:
I’m not sure. It was about the “turbo” button on 80s PCs, and how its function could be confusing to users depending on how it was wired. You look at the talk page and edit history there’s still a lot of arguments about this.

I once posted a Wikipedia article to r/TodayILearned, and my post went really popular. Someone a few hours later then edited the Wikipedia page to contradict my Reddit post title, reported my post to the subreddit mods, and my post got taken down.

I’ve never seen someone get so worked up about the 18th century opera composer Christoph Willibald Gluck.

As a kid, my family had up to 15 chihuahuas at one point. Watching them stampede as a herd across the backyard everyday was a quite majestic sight to behold.

- Comment on What's a 'common sense' thing that you genuinely don't understand, and have been too embarrassed to ask about until now? 3 months ago:
Until I was like 23 I didn’t know how to cut and peel an avocado. I would peel the skin off in chunks with my fingers like it was a giant boiled egg. It was a very laborious and frustrating process.

I don’t understand how drivers know if they have enough time to go through a yellow light. I don’t drive anymore but for the short time I did I dreaded yellow lights.
