I’m just thinking of the little pokey things (spines?) on the cucumbers. Ouch.

Barbed, for everyone’s horror.

How dose cucumbers look where you live? Mostly the ones bought from the store.

@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

yeah this is weird to me too, all the cucumbers i’ve seen are very smooth…

db2 ,

Not on the plant, the little spines have already been broken off before they get put on a store shelf.

Wait until you find out what Dragonfruit grows on.

owatnext ,

Spoiler: cactus. And you can grow the seeds for your very own houseplant.

owatnext ,

Kinda like this. (Random internet image.)

The bumpy things are sharp.

cucumbers

SgtAStrawberry ,

Intresting, I have never seen a cucumber look like that. Closest are some types frown in home gardens but not even those have been that bumpy.

Here they look kind like this https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e2c35b66-8eb1-430b-91a7-c3b5d425b075.jpeg

So completely smooth and with around the same circumference as the bigger part of most carrots.

owatnext ,

Looks kinda plasticky compared to the cucumbers I am familiar with. Also looks like it is missing the seeds! Interesting. Thanks for sharing with me!

SgtAStrawberry ,

They do have seeds but very very tiny ones.

those are pickling cucumbers here, technically also called a cucumber but you don’t really think of them as the same thing, like how raw beets are technically perfectly edible but it’s assumed you’ll pickle them.

pastermil , to linux in How was your experience using Linux in college?

Computer Science graduate here

It’s great, and in fact the recommended setup. We even had a lab running Ubuntu, managed by a bunch of volunteers that pass down sysadmin knowledge.

There was this one class, tho, that required MS Visual C++ 2008. There was no way around it, so what I did was I installed Windows on VM.

Office document support was janky with LibreOffice but it got the job done for me. They seem to have improved a lot recently, so you probably won’t have issue.

Even up to today, I never felt the need to have Windows. Some proprietary softwares like Zoom are available thru Flatpak while the Windows-only ones like Adobe Acrobat can be installed thru Wine.

The only times I had to have Windows was to play certain video games. In general, I could live without them, as most video games are playable on Linux with Wine (thanks, Steam!), while some others provide Linux native port.

Linux didn’t exist when I was in college but I did work on it’s predecessor Minix in Op Systems class in '89

Solution: simply cover your most phallic groceries with condoms, then dispose the condoms before eating.

Mothra ,

Yeah that lube in the condoms 👌 chef’s kiss

Lemminary ,

That’s why I buy the flavored ones. The strawberry-flavored side salad is absolutely yums!

I_Fart_Glitter , (edited )

English cucumbers come with their own condom, but it usually has rough seams :(

Vibrators are much better than they used to be - quiet, rechargeable, and durable. I think your veggies are safe. If you’re worried about it, only buy non phallus-shaped veg for awhile and see if anyone comments. I think (hope) those food sex things are just jokes, but i will not use a hotel room glass, coffee maker, or refillable shampoo.

downpunxx ,

see if anyone comments

hahahahahahahahhhahahahahaha

cordlesslamp ,

What would you do if someone did comment on it?

“Hey mom/dad, could you get some cucumbers next groceries trip. My face is so dry lately and in dire need of a moisturizing mask”

“I’m gaining weight lately so I need more salad, could you pick up some cucumbers and spinach while you at the store please?”

ByteOnBikes OP , (edited )

Immediately think of the post and panic.

“Hey mom/dad, could you get some cucumbers next groceries trip. My face is so dry lately and in dire need of a moisturizing mask”

“Sorry honey we are restricting you to only non phallic veggies for your own safety” why do I feel like super Christian households would actually say this.

ipkpjersi ,

They probably actually have. It makes me shudder to even think about that.

netvor ,
@netvor@lemmy.world avatar

wait, why spinach? (text-only answer, please)

cordlesslamp ,

I like where your mind go, but it’s not that. Spinach is just a cover up, a distraction. You can’t make a salad with just cucumbers, right?

netvor ,
@netvor@lemmy.world avatar

I see, it has to be cultural. I’m from Czech Republic, but born close to Slovakian/Hungarian border. Where I come from, the spinach would be the suspicious ingredient. (I was like, “are you out of wipes or something?”)

Cucumbers, Balkan cheese, tomatoes, pepper, maybe onion would make it much easier to blend in the crowd.

pyre , to nostupidquestions in My dad fought the Nazi's they lost. The world knows it. What is the deal with their recent resurgence?

capitalism. fascism is the logical conclusion of capitalism, so the entire world living in a capitalist society helps fascism rise. if you crush people’s spirits hard enough, you can give them easy solutions to their problems so they can get off your scent.

no no, the billionaires are awesome; it’s the immigrants honey. the education system would be awesome if not for drag queens baby. you would have healthcare but see it’s all the DEI hire sweetie.

it’s just lizard brain shit. “brown people bad” is just an easier and more convenient message to digest than trying to understand how the government and the economy actually works.

Don_Dickle OP ,

I mean no sarcasm in this but you seem very knowledgeable do you got any links or something to support it because I love reading.

SyntaxTerror ,

Not OP, but maybe the following: “The Mass Psychology of Fascism” by Wilhelm Reich provides an analysis of the psychological appeal of fascism, examining how economic conditions and capitalist societies create environments where fascist ideologies can thrive.

BoredPanda ,

Sigh. One could also make the argument that capitalism is the only reason we have democracy at all. I am not allergic to socialist thinking, but putting all the blame on capitalism for everything is intellectually lazy.

cecinestpasunbot ,

I doubt the person you’re replying to would disagree that the advent of capitalism is in fact what brought liberal democracy into existence. The point though is that such progress is unsustainable under a capitalist system and that it will result in various crises, war, and fascism. Therefore we do need to find a way to move past capitalism if we want even the possibility of creating a better world.

Hope she washed it off well before putting it back in the fridge. So I doubt the post is real. As for the rest I’ll have to leave it to women to answer. But if you ever find your cucumber in the garbage, just leave it there.

ByteOnBikes OP ,

Understood and thank you for your wisdom.

thefartographer ,

Do most people take food back out from the trash?

abbadon420 ,

Yeah, to give it to the rabbits. Don’t waste food

thefartographer ,

Ohhhhhh, I didn’t think about that. I considered that the same as “discarded.” But now I feel bad how nonchalantly I was thinking like, “throw the cucumber of joy into the compost or let nature consume it”

I have a dog who doesn’t like most fruits or any vegetables. I’ve forgotten how easy it is to just give produce to pets such as bunnies or the adorable yet giant Texas desert centipede you and your friend nabbed from Terlingua for his wife.

Cecilia Westbrook, an MD/PhD student at the University of Wisconsin, and her friends wondered why there are so many semen-based recipes and nothing on Google about cooking with vaginal juices.

Phenomephrene ,
@Phenomephrene@thebrainbin.org avatar

My guess is that the vaginal juice recipes are already there, they're just suffering a lack of the personnel with the SEO skills to get them to the first few pages.

sp3tr4l ,

Did she try looking for recipes based around menstrual fluid? There are a surprising amount of those.

pete_the_cat ,

I did not need to know that, thanks.

The only thing I can assume is that these recipes are created by vampires for vampires that don’t want to bite people.

sp3tr4l ,

From my personal experience: There are a good number of… well basically self-taught witches, who use menstrual blood (among other things) for various rituals and spells and hexes, and some of that eventually evolved into cooking.

From elsewhere: All around the world, there are various traditions, folk religion, local superstitions, most of which are quite niche, but simultaneously a lot of them also have rituals involving consumption of menstrual blood or food made with it for varying reasons.

pete_the_cat ,

Ah, yes, good old blood magic. As a teen (I’m a dude) I was interested in witchcraft/Wicca and watched Charmed and The Craft a lot. That makes sense once you said that. Thanks :)

@boo_@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Studied languages at a university in Sweden, using only libre programs, except for one group assignment where we used Google docs. Nothing terribly interesting (computer-wise). Everything worked. Professors wanted .docx files, which LibreOffice happily exported. If I was so inclined, nothing would’ve stopped me from using something like OpenBSD, or hell, even Haiku would probably work.

@ulkesh@lemmy.world avatar

Severely undereducated selfish people who think all of their problems is someone else’s or some other tribe’s fault.

Almost all Nazis share one common trait: a complete lack of empathy.

And almost all American Nazis share two additional traits: no critical thinking skills and gullibility.

Don_Dickle OP ,

In your opinion would you consider the orange face dipshit a nazi?

kureta ,

You didn’t ask me but I’ll respond. I would call him an opportunist. If it benefits him to attract nazis, he will. He doesn’t seem to have any political leaning. He is a conman.

ulkesh ,
@ulkesh@lemmy.world avatar

He shares traits with them. But no, he’s an 8 year old boy trapped in a 78 year old body trying to compensate for his tiny penis and no balls. He will use Nazis just like he uses everyone. As the other commenter said, he’s a con artist and grifter.

When he’s long dead, aside from a footnote in American history books stating he was the worst president since Buchanan, he will be forgotten. Of course this can’t come soon enough.
