Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What’s one food that you cannot understand why people enjoy?
Fun fact: i ate ensaymada once without knowing it was wayy past its edible date.
Still alive (and a dumbass).
I don’t understand why people enjoy eating this. And, for the love of good food, don’t watch this while eating/planning to eat.
It’s not as bad as some other food I’ve seen, but more on genuinely curious, as the video would say it is the world’s most dangerous

Cheese
Methinks the appeal of that cheese (outside its hometown) is purely for novelty. So you can hang it on your wall like a kill and say I did that.
Kinda like how people try to fish for Salema porgy just to experience the infamous high. Or that song bird that you eat in a restaurant with a table cloth over your head.
TIL people can get high on fish. I do see the appeal for novelty. But to have casu marzu as a staple? Aw hell naw. I’ve seen too many films and IRL maggots to disassociate it from culinary nirvana.
Then again, if this was a one time dare, I’d probably say aye. LOL
I think I’ve read somewhere that if you want to remove the maggots from that cheese, you’re to put it onto a paper bag and then shake them off. And shake it off until no maggots fall off.
So I guess the idea is to starve them of air, then have them fall off.
I’d actually welcome the opportunity to try it, especially the way the natives over there enjoy it.
napapansin nyo ba yun preparation ng US nowadays?
Bettor wins Lotto 6/42 jackpot worth P7.6M
Ang bait ng PCSO ngayong buwan ah. Makataya nga baka ako next, lmao.
I decided to deactivate my Threads account. Yes, I know it’s still there and I can’t delete it. But at least it’s away from public view.
Nakakairita how the influencers/celebrities inorganically generate engagement by posting dumb questions… which then gets recommended to me. Balik Mastodon na lang ako where it’s peace and quiet.
Why do websites insist on using this font (Roboto, I think)? It’s very hard to read.
It’s also the font on our ModMail, which explains why I often do not check our inbox.
Personally I prefer Archivo Regular 400 and upwards and depending on use case, point size of the type can vary. The light versions are too thin imho. Futura and I do have some saved font collections but i forget the names. As long as the spacing between letters is good (aimed for readability, not for Taylor Swift quotes, with no attack on Taylor herself), shapes easily contrast from the background, provided that proper color is used too. Eh, but I’m just mindlessly rambling at this point lmao.
Also, the all white and thin font is painful to look at (sorry). No option to customize to a high-contrast layout option? Me thinks Roboto would do well say in a dark background and neon colored font (thank you Microsoft VSC)
Capriola and Montserrat used to be my go-to body fonts when I was still blogging. Granted, the audience was just me, but I thought it was very legible and looks good on a wall of text.
Not something I would use on a formal document, however.
Kain tayo ng lugaw mga mamser.
Shereep, dagdagan ko yan ng tokwa’t baboy
Meron kanina kaso tokwa lang e, kami na yung baboy 🐖
So Angat Dam is reaching critical levels with El Niño just around the corner.
Time to do the John Lloyd-Sarah Geronimo rain dance and let all the offkey singers belt out their greatest hits.

Oh, it’s my time to shinemic test, mic test
I sometimes wonder if desalination is a viable solution to our water problems.
But then again, it might be more cost-effective to just build more dams to store water during the rainy season.
I’m not that educated on the subject, but last I’ve read (sparse and a long time ago), is that these plants cost a fuck-ton of money. We’ll see how it goes. Now that you mention it, might as well watch a docu on this.
TBH, the only reason it’s floating about the top of my head is because I’ve recently watched a vid by Practical Engineering on it.
if i didn’t try i wouldn’t have known that i have such a talent in making roux (mukhang champorado)
Meta’s ‘friendly’ Threads collides with unfriendly internet
“If an account or server, or if we find many accounts from a particular server, is found violating our rules then they would be blocked from accessing Threads, meaning that server’s content would no longer appear on Threads and vice versa,” she said.
“With federation, the metadata that big platforms use to tie accounts to a single actor or detect abusive behavior at scale aren’t available,” said Stamos. “This is going to make stopping spammers, troll farms, and economically driven abusers much harder.”
I like how Meta (and an ex-Meta) is framing interoperability with the fediverse that they are the ones that’s potentially going to be the problem, lol.
Pro tip: Stay the hell away from lemmy instances that do not have the modlog feature.
No amount of #copaganda can change my #mind.
Puro na lang ata deaths/accidents/horror yung nasa auto-downloads ko (I listen during commute or to fall asleep) I’ve started dreaming about them 💀
Medyo nakakatakot? I wanna dream about eating delicious food and cute stuff, not that. I think I need to horror cleanse 😅 it’s gonna be difficult tho. I myself can’t believe I think I need a break from that.
Normal ba na agawan ng isang 13 yr old na agawan at itago ang mga laruan ng 2 yr old? Pag may bagong toy kasi ung kapatid nya, sinisira, tinatago o naagaw nung kapatid nyang 13 yr old.
Ah, oh. You need to give the talk. If you can talk to your thirteen year old in a way na hinde accusatory or pagalit.
Is is possible that she/he/they need attention, and maybe talk it out?
Goodbye, Reddit, for good. My requested data is ready for download.
Ei congrats!
Umabot halos dalawang linggo simula nag-request ako.
wow, mabilis ah~ lol!
And di ko rin akalaing mag-proprocess sila ng request kahit na di ka taga-EU or California
I am not sure if I should be doing this, but hell…
For the handful of us who’ve moved (temporarily or otherwise) to lemm.ee, there’s currently a consultation going on about defederation from Meta’s Threads. Upvoting the post means you’re in favor of defederation.
EDIT:
I was wrong in calling that thread a vote. Changed “there’s currently a vote going on about defederation…” to “there’s currently about a consultation going on about defederation”. At any rate, it’s not a vote.
already upvoted because meta can stay where it is, it doesn’t need to mix with my lemmy instance
I really hope lemmy.world follows suit, but given the statement lemmy.world admins made, it’s still up in the air, if ever.
Question is, what exactly constitutes as “see” in their wait-and-see approach? By the time you realize anything nefarious, it’s already too late.
