- Comment on Salt is very salty. Sugar is not that sweet. 4 days ago:
Sugar is less soluble than salt. Touch some salt to your tongue and it dissolves very well and rapidly. Touch some sugar to your tongue and the process is slow. That’s why us Americans love soda and corn syrup. Also why that thin flaky salt is so great.
- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 4 days ago:
There are parts of the United States, where I am from, where the English is almost unintelligible to me. Also, I have only been to England once, for a layover that would last 24 hours. I could barely understand any of the white service workers, however the Indian service workers? I could understand them very very well.

I always intentionally miss state the lyrics as “someone I used to bone” so I’m glad someone else sort of agrees.
- Comment on Uber Eats or something idk 5 months ago:
Back in the 90s and aughts you could get pizza or Chinese delivered. Usually only at the cost of throwing a few singles for the driver. While it was probably exploitative of the drivers, it did not take 30% of the value of the meal and send it to a rich moron in Silicon Valley. It was not seen as super luxurious to get pizza delivered on a Friday night.
2019: you could buy a house if you never went to Starbucks!
2025: no one cares how much money you save working from home, get back to work, get back to the kitchen, deal with the tarrifs!
