Diabolo96 , in funny because true

Sms aren’t limited by my availability…you can send them at 4am in the morning so i can ignore them for 2 weeks for no reason. Meanwhile if you call me at 4am I’d still be awake but it’s none of your business why and i wouldn’t answer them anyway so why bother.

Souroak , in Sweet tea

As a server, southerners stare at me in wide eyed awe when I pour a disgusting amount of simple syrup into a glass of iced tea.

@Cmot_Dibbler@lemmy.world avatar

It’s just a high concentration of sugar dissolved in water. Not used in food really unless you need to sweeten some cold tea for some southerners, i guess. Very commonly used to make alcoholic mixed drinks though.

What’s called sweet tea in the US is overwhelmingly sweet. That was my reaction to it the first time I tried it. It’s so sweet, the only way you can get that much sugar in it is if you dissolve that sugar in hot tea.

gizmonicus ,

The trick is to order half sweet/half unsweet. Otherwise you get Aunt Jemima on ice.

Dagwood222 ,

I don’t know if you need to be told this.

Pay the money and buy real maple syrup, not ‘pancake syrup.’ Real maple syrup is one of the best tastes on the planet.

gizmonicus ,

I’m aware of the existence and superiority of maple syrup. I only use Aunt Jemima in this example because that’s what oversweetened tea tastes like to me: shit.

Dagwood222 ,

I bow to your sagacity

dan1101 ,
@dan1101@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah that is my trick too. Or half sweet tea and half water.

raptir ,

Sweet tea can have as much sugar as soda. You would need to add 10-15 sugar packets to a single glass of iced tea to have the equivalent amount of sugar.

JonVonBasslake ,

Not true about being able to only dissolve the sugar in hot tea, because if it was, the sugar would fall out once it cooled. You can dissolve the sugar into cold tea, it just takes more effort (so time and mixing) than doing it with hot tea and then cooling it. Cold water can hold approx. 1.7g of sugar per gram of water.

Rentlar ,

Yeah in the US they have this thing called sweet tea (some places have a choice between sweet and unsweetened tea).

To make sweet tea they just unload a tanker truck full of gum syrup into cold tea. That’s what it tastes like to me.

wolfpack86 , (edited )

Sweet tea is a drink prepared hot but consumed cold. The cold part is best done via refrigeration. Bringing hot water, tea, and sugar are not going to achieve the same results.

FringeTheory999 ,

it’s best not done at all to be honest. Just drink a soda like a regular person.

aidan ,

Why do you care what sugary drink people drink?

JonVonBasslake ,

Some people like the taste of tea over the taste of soda, even if both are equally sickeningly sweet.

FringeTheory999 ,

Have you ever had southern sweet tea? The flavor is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea. If you want to drink sugar water and brown coloring why not drink a coke?

scottywh ,

Geo_bot ,

The translation that everyone knows which came from Google translate is spez is a son of a bitch, but I think whoreson might be more correct

Schmuppes ,

You’re right. It’s the better translation.

Willer ,

The phrase “Sprich deutsch, du Hurensohn” (“Speak german, you son of a whore”) has evolved from an insult to somewhat of an insider meme in german subreddits. It was an answer to english comments flooding german subreddits and making communication difficult.

And now we basically can call anyone a Hurensohn and it now counts as transformative art lol

What’s stupid is buying cheap AliExpress power banks that don’t mitigate this situation safely, and instead simply explode, burning your house down…

Persen ,

They are cheap and if you don’t need an expensive product, they are mostly fine, but I got a free powerbank with some crappy teen magazine (when in still ocasionaly read those ad filled pieces of shit) and it died on the second charge.

todd_bonzalez ,

mostly fine

That’s not what I want to hear about a high density energy storage solution.

cordlesslamp , (edited )

Assuming it was either 15 years ago or your powerbank is a budget one.

My powerbank would just flip me off and tell me to go fuck myself if I did plug it into itself.

(seriously tho, it would just cut power and turn off immediately. If your powerbank doesn’t do at least that, then discard it and get another one with more advanced protection features)

And it was probably cheap Anker instead of expensive Anker? Maybe that shit just hadn’t hit consumer products yet as well. But yeah, Anker offers a HUGE selection of products from consumer to professional.

LordWiggle , in Night shift sucks
@LordWiggle@lemmy.world avatar

In the navy I preferred the night shifts. Nice and quiet. Day shifts were hectic, always stupid shit happening. Night shifts in the CIC were cozy, chill, having some coffee together, making grilled cheese sandwiches, being able to do work in full concentration as no one bothers you constantly. On the bridge it was even better. Extreme darkness, having nice conversations with your colleagues while watching the stars and the lights of other ships on the horizon. Only downside is the night shift has to get out of bed for fire drills etc during the day, so sometimes that leaves you with only 2h of sleep every day during sea trials. But that’s only 2 to 6 weeks of sleep deprivation so not all too bad imo.

Most nights were high stress, hot mess.

Northern light: yes, seen it too. Lynx: usually there aren’t that many at sea, so haven’t seen them :p

scbasteve7 , in I wonder what they smell like.

People may think he’s crazy, but part of psychedelics is hypersensitivity. I doubt he could actually see in the dark and smell landmines, but his brain probably recognized very small details and fabricated hallucinations based on what little he did pick up on.

ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

I sort of believe the seeing-in-the-dark thing. I was at an LSD party with my friends one night and we took a black frisbee out onto an unlit field (no moon) and threw it around without once dropping it. We just knew where everybody else was and where the disc was at all times. I dunno, maybe we could smell the frisbee.

Hadriscus ,

That’s super cool

elfin8er ,

Your pupils get massive when you’re on LSD, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re able to let in more light to let you see better.

JoeBigelow ,

Revan343 ,

Contrast in the dark is far better on psychedelics, I assume because of the massive pupil dilation

0x0 ,

No expertise here, but I wonder if neurons are more excitable on LSD. If every cell in your retina and optic nerve is trigger happy, you’d see more in the dark. More noise, too, I suppose.

fritobugger2017 ,

Get out of Grateful Dead show on the last night in that town, hop in the car while still blazing face on 5 to 10 doses and drive hundreds of miles to the next venue. Night vision extreme!

_stranger_ ,

The Netflix show was excellent.

BetaDoggo_ ,

The animation is flashy but the plot and storytelling can’t even compare to the game.

zalgotext , (edited )

I thought the plot and storytelling was heart-wrenching. It’s only like ten episodes where the game is like 60-80 hours of content, and it only follows one specific plot thread, not the dozens in the game. So I feel like it’s unfair to try and draw a one-to-one comparison between the two.

MonkderVierte ,

Meaning it’s mediocre?

umbraroze ,

Cyberpunk Edgerunners (the Netflix anime) is pretty damn great and well worth the watch.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a pretty decent game too. Not a masterpiece it was originally hyped up to be, and a lot of things in the game just painfully remind me of things that other games do better, but it’s still a pretty damn gripping game with pretty incredible atmosphere and style. Probably pretty high in my best games of the decade list.
