Yeah, hi. I’m lactose and gluten intolerant and I was wondering if…

Yes you can fuck off with or without grilled cheese.

If you ever find yourself around Cleveland, OH, find a Melt: meltbarandgrilled.com/menu/

zeekaran,

Melt is crazy good. Half sandwiches, vegan, gluten free, or full on grease and meat and dairy. I go once every time I visit Ohio. I’d go twice if I hated my body.

Id love to see food trucks that were dirt cheap and just did 1 food. Please park this grilled cheese truck outside my house

TenderfootGungi,

Trucks that do 1 or 2 foods are not that uncommon. We have a fish and chip truck and a glazed donut truck. But none are cheap.

interceder270,

But none are cheap.

This is the real kicker. Businesses charge what people are willing to pay, not what stuff costs to produce.

ChickenLadyLovesLife,

I went to a food truck festival a few weeks ago, and holy shit the prices of stuff. I don’t think there was a single item you could get for less than $18, and that was like the price of three french fries.

Fizz,
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Yeah that’s how it is here. Food trucks are only at events and event food costs a fortune for some reason. You’d think that having 1000s of hungry people in one place would allow the to drop the price a bit but nah gotta squeeze us for everything.

ChickenLadyLovesLife,

TBF food trucks are insanely expensive (like, $80K+ expensive) so I don’t really blame owners for charging whatever people will pay. I’m just amazed people pay that much.

That’s the sound of market demand going up, baby!

interceder270,

for some reason.

Because useful idiots are proud to pay for it then complain they don’t have enough money.

banneryear1868,

Yeah classic food truck venue here is an event at a brewery where they’re legally required to serve food. So you buy tickets and then provide to the vendors, but if you work out the prices it ends up being insane with super small quantities. They always have to make the food weird too, sometimes it’s cool but sometimes you just want normal shitfood.

I wanna do one where it’s like simple lowbrow stoner food done just a little fancy. Like grilled PB&J, but the peanut butter is the good stuff and the jam has the full berries in it, sourdough bread that can really take a heavy fry in some salted butter. The kind of stuff that’s dirt simple to make but really shines with a bit of extra love.

@Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world avatar

Yes but they were artisanal french fries

zeekaran,

In Colorado, that has been my experience for over a decade. Food truck food was never cheap here. In Portland, just this year, I managed a few great and cheap meals from their food carts.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

In my city: there was two stoners who ran around making three types of ramen - vegan, non-vegan (their broth is a different), and regular (they crack an egg).

It was like $6-7.

I loved those guys and used to follow them around.

interceder270, (edited )

Imagine paying $6 for noodles.

They probably loved you, lol.

AlexJD, to science_memes in Pigeons

Took me an embarrassing amount of time.

PoisonedPrisonPanda,

I still dont get it.

What to say out loud?

Is it suu sticks.

Kuu sticks

Or zoo sticks?

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Cooing, is the term for the noise pigeons make.

PoisonedPrisonPanda,

Honestly I would translate a pidgeon sound with an R

Like

Chrooo.

But thats just my 2 cents.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, since when did animal noises get accurately described?

Like yeah.

PoisonedPrisonPanda,

I mean.

I have seen some documentary using leafs and straws to blow which sound like fucking invitations. Or af least should…

you know, I am some kind of a scientist myself

Moghul,

A coo sticks

Acoosticks

Acoustics

redballooon, (edited )

ok so far.

It’ll become funny once I understand the double meaning. What does it mean the way it is written “coo sticks”? I get the “coo” as the sound of the pidgeon, but the “sticks” escapes me.

FuglyDuck, (edited )
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

The coo doesn’t bounce. It sticks.

The pun is “acoustics”- which is a branch of physics that deal with sound (and also the term for acoustic qualities of a particular enviroment; which is something that is very carefully controlled on a stage)

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker, but I didn't find it funny at all. I got the A coo sticks = Acoustics right away, but it seems forced. Saying a sound 'sticks' is not how one would describe a sound not traveling/bouncing.

jadero,

There word “sticks” is being used in the sense “adheres”. So the “coo” doesn’t bounce around in a series of reflections, but instead remains attached to the first surface it strikes.

PoisonedPrisonPanda,

You win. Thank you.

I needed the “u” here to grasp it.

But honestly I think my stupidity on that one is funnier than the joke itself.

We didn’t lose a chromosome. Two of our ancestors’ chromosomes fused to make human chromosome 2.

The number of replies and follow-ups to this is amazing. It’s a brilliant read.

LemmyKnowsBest,

please copy and paste it or screenshot it for those of us who abhor Twitter

davepleasebehave,

I think I have to register to read the thread. not sure it’s worth it. ludditism intensifies.

jeffhykin, to science_memes in Data Science

The best part of this is the subtle implication that you can tell a million completely different stories with the same data.

Xariphon,

Having spent an unfortunate amount of time debunking bullshit statistics... yes.

NounsAndWords,

You just need to pick the pieces you want and discard/ignore the ones you don’t!

paraphrand,

And invent the special pieces you need to tell the story you want.

Where the fuck was that baseplate hiding?

ShaggySnacks, (edited )

The baseplate came from the green in the bar graph. As we know all, the base plate is the foundation for any major project. Regardless that the bar graph shows little green compared to everything else. Green is far more important and we should focus all our efforts on the color green.

In a major coincidence, green is the color of money and I am now moving into a bigger house.

Edit: The fact that I got upvotes for a poorly written post amazes me.

Americans say this after every giant fucking portion.

PoisonedPrisonPanda,

Probably yes.

But I think he wanted to highlight that we do no have such feast here in Europe.

Listen, I’m an American in the UK and they do Thanksgiving Dinner every Sunday here. It’s kind of great.

PoisonedPrisonPanda,

My apologies dear mate.

Oisteink,

You see those portions only look huge from far away. For Americans it’s just right (their ideal body is Trump)

Unless its fiber optics, then I assume its light strength? Hmm… Waves that are modulated… And now I fell down a wikipedia hole.
