Just a rock-licker who loves all things sci-fi, boardgames, and growing my own food, especially heirloom tomatoes.

I completely agree. Every so often I get an itch to have a look at Reddit, and though the niche subs still seem alright, the comments of anything near the front page are beleaguered with low-quality jokes and karma grabs.

God forbid you're actually interested in discussing the subject, any comment that takes more than a few seconds to write or read gets buried under a thousand others like your first examples.

Probably because it was a big event and everyone wanted to be out to watch the roads switch sides.

It's like Final Destination with children.

I think that's a fantastic description for Willy Wonka. I remember as a kid watching the boat ride scene and thinking "is Mom sure this is a kid's movie‽"

Quick batch of chicken stock ( lemmy.world )

From the bones of a couple Costco rotisserie chickens and veggie scraps saved in the freezer. Only boiled the bones for a couple hours, so didn't get as much gelatin out of them as I'd like, but it was getting late. I also thought I had more pint jars, had to put the last bit of stock into a couple quart jars in the fridge....

I'll confess I do this with some regularity. If I unwrap a piece of cheese and see it's moldy, well I'm not tossing a nice hunk of aged gouda in the trash! I'll slice the mold off, then do a sniff and nibble test. If it still tastes moldy, keep slicing until it doesn't.

I've done this since I was a kid, so who knows if it's actually safe, or if I've just spent decades rolling the dice and getting lucky.

It's pretty depressing, but the fact that soil and groundwater are almost certainly contaminated anywhere that humans have touched. I've seen all kinds of places from gas stations, to dry cleaners, to mines, to fire stations, to military bases, to schools, to hydroelectric plants, the list could go on, and every last one of them had poison in the ground.
