Anyone not saying "acetic acid" is committing a microagression

I hate to go all "ackchyually" on you, but vinegar is a 5-8% solution of acetic acid. Anyone not saying "a 5-8% solution of acetic acid" is committing a microagression. Pure acetic acid is referred to as "glacial" acetic acid, which is clearly cultural appropriation by northern Europeans.

I actually say acetic acid as often as I can because I am a dork

Since she says "cheesy chips" instead of the n-word I'm guessing she has another phrase for it. Maybe "Denied"?

Reminds me of a story I read about a guy who realised that they named their dog poorly when it got out and got lost and had to walk around the neighbourhood shouting "Snickers!"

Sanest US person when invited to discuss the political conflict in Nigeria:

Surely Niger is even worse.

I don't know if it was a joke but I remember seeing a black American lady having a moment when they heard that Montenegro is in Eurovision. Chuckled at that

Btw how did the n word become like this? Why isnt it like queer for example?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It was going that way, but the anti-racism movement changed the course.
