The difference between a clever joke and worrisome "commitment to the bit": how finely the biscuit's cut up. Real dicey, that one.

all bottles are unopened too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Ha! I didn't even notice. 🤣

Yeah, no way is that going up your nose without a serious measure of pain

Something oddly upsetting about putting dog treats on a cutting board despite them being used for raw meat sometimes

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Uh, you know you're supposed to wash it after using raw meat on it, right?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

@shadowedcross @Kowowow
and you can wash it after using it for dog treats. so weird that putting dog treats on it would be disturbing.

I also have different cutting boards for meat and raw things. My wood cutting board isn't for meat.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wood cutting boards are safer to use with meat than plastic ones

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Probably, but I have just the one wood one. I also don't put the wood one in the dishwasher to sterilize etc, and the more important thing is keeping them separate. I'll probably get a wood one for meat at some point.

Edit: bought more wood ones today even.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Seriously! Wood is for bread, green is for fruits and veg, red is for land based meat, white is for fish. Glass is for the bin.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Wooden cutting boards are naturally antibacterial because of the desiccating nature of wood.

Wash it, salt it if you’re worried, but don’t use fucking plastic

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Glass?? They make GLASS cutting boards?!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Yes, but don't use them because they dull your knives very quickly because there's no give to them when your knife makes contact with the board like with wood. So all of the force you hit the board with goes right back into the knife.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

They do, though they damage knives.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Bro hasn’t heard of washing dishes.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Depending on the treat, it can easily have better ingredients than whatever you tend to put on the board otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh I'm not saying it makes sense I just mean at first glance I didn't like it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That cognitive awareness is gonna serve you well, coming up shortly, fellow citizen. 🙇🏼‍♂️✊🏼

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ya sure uh dismantle the fda and replace it with something untainted

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

If you dropped your phone into the angry pre-flush results of last night's cheap-ass tequila & taco truck choices... Would you salvage it in the hopes of restoring its former usefulness?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yes. Phones are extremely expensive and hard to make. Much better to retrieve the phone and clean it.

Plus, if you do that you can ALSO get a new phone in parallel. Nothing says you can't do both. Otherwise you're without a phone for a long time, which is undesirable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't think I've ever seen a taco truck

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's some potent tequila, then.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No I just don't think mexican food has that big of a hold here so far north outside of taco bell, not sure I've ever even seen mexican to be honest

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hol'up. Are you implying that Taco Bell isn't worse? 🤔 Ohno, son.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not my thing but I'd also need something to compare it to, I'm living in a cave believing shadows on the wall are reality

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I was always pretty shit at those flashlight hand shapes and my "dog" seemed like it wanted to be more Lassie and less Toxic Avenger. Meanwhile, my BFF could do giraffes, bunnies, birds, the whole zoo. 🤓 I guess, after a while, I bonded with my mutant shadow pooch, and he taught me a number of things about fitting in, etc.

Shit. Sorry. Is this the Sack Lunch Bunch II audition room? I had a callback, but I think I might've taken the wrong elevator.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

You can wash it not a big deal imo
