  Myth. Vanilla extracts either come from low grade vanilla pods or cloves. It may have been but not today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Butter made from carbon tastes like the real thing, gets backing from Bill Gates⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, in essence, this, but with added marketing steps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit's getting real⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Part of the problem, part of the solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy be like⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True. Now shut up and take my upvote! Jo need for arguments; all has already been said.

  Not universal yet but heading that way. MBWay is gaining momentum as well and the eEuro could be a thing.

  Two pronged attack

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is WAR.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s lung cancer territory!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The pain others endure is no enjoyment for me, so I can only hope you surface from such experiences with no negative outcomes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No. Plain and simple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cases like yours are unfortunate and I understand and respect those. I’m a fan of spice myself. Just not to the point it hurts me. I put spice in food to enhance flavours, not to cover it with a dose of pain.

  If you can find it, try portuguese goat cheese or Azores cheese, long cure. Very flavourful but incredibly intense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can get sensory extremes by walking outside, right now. I’m good on that front.

  It’s clear I’m on the minority side here, no problem on that, but is it that weird to expect food to have flavour and not hurt me while I’m eating it? It seems reasonable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, long time no see!

  But no. It’s food. Not torture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That is the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Your point being?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I do, thank you the concern. But self imposed torture is not something I enjoy. Nor recommend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are too many bad taste jokes to be made on that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it hard to understand how a potentially hazardous to health food item is even allowed.

  What is this obcession with ever increasing level of spice in food, lately?

  Because at some point it all the flavour just goes away, replaced by a hefty dose of pain.

  In my country, I know of two cases of datacenters that use waste water. And another is supposed to run on salt water, in the future. Those cases don’t trouble me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Man the trebuchets!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Allow me to use whatever words I want.

  On this specific example, I’ll even call it constructive vandalism. It will pass on a very loud message.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How much time before someone figures these infrastructures make very good targets for vandalism? I risk I will see datacenters destroyed by mobs and other actors before I die.

  I wasn’t making any sense of that. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y'ALL GOT ANY OF THEM HALLOPINERS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Translation please!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Startup Claims Its Fusion Reactor Concept Can Turn Cheap Mercury Into Gold⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You want gold? Tons of it? Go mine the asteroid belt. But if it is to become plentiful what value will it hold?

  Will cheap gold plated circuitry be back?

  I’m in Portugal.

  I’ve asked if such devices could be supplied and I was given pretty much the same explanation I supplied here.

  Strangely enough, vehicles can be legally tracked, in real time, yet the company I work at has some union agreement that prevents such installation in the work vehicles.

  It’s a mess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s strange. Apparently it is one of those situations where the possibilty of something very useful being easily abused by companies to spy on their people is too great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile, I often work with immediate risk of death or injury and, by law, I can not be equipped with a panic button for rescue purposes, as it is deemed unlawful surveillance of the worker.

  I am supposed to warn in advance what work I will be doing and agree on a reasonable time window for it to be done safely, before having to call in again to say I am not yet dead and if the task is done or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody gets one [choose wisely]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Our opinions diverge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody gets one [choose wisely]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been thinking about this the entire day and I think the only answer for any entity offering to magically grant any wish to try to introduce conditions to it would be “no”.

  Let’s just consider it.

  The average individual requesting a wish doesn’t really want the entire world to change, except for that little sliver they are wishing upon.

  We are trying to think rationaly on something that is not governed by it.

  Someone wishing for Hitler to have never been born, wants the horrors of WW2 to have never happened but does not want their reality to collapse in the process. The same way, a person wishing for fried shrimp to rain from the sky does not want to see shrimp go extinct or the world to burn due to some physical phenomenon.

  They want to magically alter the world, with no further consequence.

  If a magical being offers to grant you a wish, any wish, he can not hinder it in any way. It is not a business transaction, where you get something and he gets something in return (usually your misery, through preverting your wish outcome).

  If the magical being, as in the case at hand, tries to do it, then it is not a wish but an offer and therefore you are free to refuse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody gets one [choose wisely]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t a business transaction, where I ask for something and you take something else in return. It is a magical wish.

  You don’t get to decide how empathy works between people. It is already an established mechanism. Your job is to nudge it to develop at an enhanced rate between individuals in a given time frame.

  The world remains the same. Humans remain the same.

  So, if this is what you have to offer, keep your offer.
