For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

It's not a biscuit, it's a scone. Biscuits are cooked twice (it's in the name), you bake them then dry them.

TIL: "The Old French word bescuit is derived from the Latin words bis (twice) and coquere, coctus (to cook, cooked), and, hence, means "twice-cooked". This is because biscuits were originally cooked in a twofold process: first baked, and then dried out in a slow oven."

Eating fried chicken sandwich for breakfast is completely normal and an awesome way to start a day.

Gnome is not only a perfectly valid and functional DE, it also looks better than others. I'll go even one step further and say that KDE looks clunky and Xfce looks dated no matter how you customize them.

I can't imagine there is a good business, that communicates effectively, that is built on Microsoft Outlook.

I never appreciated Google's productivity software until I was forced to use Microsoft's at a large company. People just openly accept this broken system and the fact that they'll miss important communications and spend far too much time accounting for the SW's shortcomings.

FUCK Microsoft Outlook. The executives making decisions for the team's designing and maintaining that product are committing crimes against humanity.

As a science enthusiast, until the US stops using the "Alu-min-um" pronunciation, I refuse to spell Sulphur as "Sulfur", even if it is part of IUPAC.

Edit: Forgot to add this originally, but Aluminium is also the IUPAC standard spelling/pronunciation, which I argue makes my petty hill all the more valid.

Chunky peanut butter is better than smooth (unless the recipe demands otherwise, of course). I like peanut butter because I like peanuts, dammit. I also prefer fresh peanut butter to that Jif crap. Having to stir it to mix the peanut oil back in is a small price to pay. The only ingredient in peanut butter should be PEANUTS.

I will never switch to wireless headphones until the quality is as good as wired.

[–] SimulatedKnave@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

Fuck the quality, who thinks a headphone string is a bug not a feature?

You know what's nice? Having all the bits of your headphones attached to each other. And not relying on a Bluetooth connection.
