This will definitely end well….

My car just hit 222,222. Reminds me of Mitch Hedburg’s phone number. “Just hit 2 for a while…”

Empricorn, in Odometer 44444

Unfortunately, it’s a Fiesta. ☹️ So it will never reach 444,444 miles…

Vegans: “Write that down! Write that down!”

oSillyScope,

An ex of mine was a vegetarian, and when she heard about Lonestar ticks, she said it would sure be funny if she put one on me so I would have to be a vegetarian too. That was the moment she became an ex.

Polar, in This tick’s spit can make you allergic to meat

I’m deathly allergic to chicken, turkey, tuna, ham, and a few other meats randomly. Life is so shit now. They hide meat products in literally everything. It’s FUCKED.

Ser_Salty,

I don’t think I’ve ever seen meat being hidden in stuff. Milk, though? Fucking everywhere. Just 1% milk powder in everything so they can get those dairy subsidies.

Stovetop,

Meat derivatives are in a lot of products. Seasonings, sauces, etc. can hide a lot of those. You can order like a teriyaki tofu dish, for example, and most of the time you’ll be fine. But you’ll eventually run into a variety here and there that uses dashi or oyster sauce in the ingredients. Or you get kimchi and have to worry about the same thing with fish sauce. You get a bag of BBQ potato chips, there’s a chance it contains chicken. Order a cheese pizza, the sauce may still contain tiny bits of sausage. Even a vegetable soup may still use beef or chicken stock.

Ser_Salty,

Damn, maybe that’s a regional thing. You know, food regulations and stuff. I’ve definitely seen a couple examples of what you’re talking about, but I’ve never seen it as common.

Stovetop,

Just to clarify, it’s not that they don’t list the ingredients (that would be very illegal), but for people who have a food allergy or dietary restriction, it’s something that you have to stay vigilant about. Most teriyaki sauces do not contain animal products, for example, but some do. And whether that is just honey, or if it’s a meat derivative, it comes down to checking the ingredients list. And if you’re not the one preparing a particular dish yourself, it can be difficult to trust. You can go to any restaurant and inform the server of your allergies/restrictions, but that basically boils down to how much you trust someone paid minimum wage or less to care about you.

Take it for one very long nap.

TurnItOff_OnAgain,

I think that’s called a coma.

poplargrove,

I was thinking of death lol

Skua, in This bridge goes through the water and not over it, The Netherlands

The Dutch, not content with merely driving the sea back, now seek to taunt and humiliate it

@567PrimeMover@kbin.social avatar

Not unlike the mighty Beaver, the Dutch have an instinctual drive to bend water to their will

RooRLoord420,

And much like the beaver, many of our artificial flavors are made from the expressed anal glands of the Dutch.

TvanBuuren,

We try our best ;)

Ryumast3r,

Do you really? Because I hear from Europeans they hate you.

I joke because personally I love the Dutch, but not necessarily Amsterdam. Such a great country.

The Danes have you beat in friendliness though I think… They’re so damn happy I can’t understand it.

megasin1,

You’re thinking of a caricature from Austin powers.

Risk,

OP’s image needs to be captioned with your comment and then ever so slightly jpegified. chef’s kiss

AnarchistArtificer,

I have no idea why you think it would be improved by slight adding of jpeg, but I agree, and I don’t know why. It feels like meme salt. Or maybe meme umami

Skua,

It's a matter of time before we start manually adding iFunny banners at the bottom for authenticity

Ryumast3r,

If you hit source (jerboa) on the image you get this:

![](…tchncs.de/…/cf7fb761-4b72-4038-afee-f8951d4c7f95…

Which is an interesting format and I wish I could just save your image. I guess this is a request to the devs.

Gestrid,

To do a feature request for Jerboa, you can fill out the form here: github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/new?assignees…

Ryumast3r,

I’m too drunk for that, but I will try at some point. Thank you!

Cosmonauticus,

I’m too drunk to meme this chicken

Hubi, in Hammerhead skull

Things like this really make me wonder how accurate our understanding of dinosaurs is today. There is no way anyone would manage to do a reconstruction that looks like a hammerhead shark just from this skull.

Thepolack,

I think any reconstruction of a dinosaur where there is just a skull as a refence point will be taken with a fairly large pinch of salt. However, many dinosaurs look fairly similar to other dinosaurs that we do have more complete fossils as reference, so they’ll end up being based on those as well.

Duranie,

I want to hear the local’s tell the story about the witch in the forest that merged the ghost owl with the giant bitey fish, and how if little kids don’t get their chores done, the monster will eat them when they go to the pond or river for a bath.

This skull is proof, and I will not hear otherwise.

Jeanschyso, in "Progress"

Yes progress! Using the quotes there make it seem like you disagree that this is progress, which I will choose to believe you didn’t mean it like that.

I have seen a few pictures like this from around the world. It’s pretty encouraging

NOFHC, in "Progress"

Progress and gentrification.

Zyansheep,

Its not gentrification if we build enough of it!

Bootheal0179, in This tick’s spit can make you allergic to meat
@Bootheal0179@lemmy.world avatar

This species is also suspected to carry a spirochete bacteria in the same genus as Lyme disease bacteria. It’s symptoms are very similar to Lyme. The infection is named STARI, short for Southern Tick Associated Rash Illness. My spouse got it in 2010 and has never been the same since.

Nacktmull, in "Progress"

Why the “”? Getting cars out of cities to improve quality of life is a major progress.

Schmuppes, (edited )

The cars are still there, in massive numbers. You just can’t see the tunnel they built between those two pictures. It’s right beneath the feet of the pedestrians.

marmo7ade,

But we can pretend! And that’s what’s important!!!

AlecSadler,

If you’re there, can you hear them if you put your ear to the ground?

Schmuppes,

I’ll check for you next time I pass through there on my bicycle.

shotgunpulse,

Lol does it matter or are you just curious?

AlecSadler,

Just curious, haha.

JenIsBringingTheDrugs,

That still seems better though. Less noise, safer and more usable space.

Nacktmull, (edited )

At least they can´t kill cyclists and pedestrians this way and the emissions get somewhat contained. Of course this is only a compromise but on the way to car free cities it might be a useful intermediate step before we can actually get rid of carbrainitis.

!fuckcars

jarfil,

!fuckcars

Sounds NSFW…

SkaveRat,

do we have /c/dragonsfuckingcars and /c/carsfuckingdragons yet?

Nacktmull,

c/beatmetoit

over_clox,

‘emissions somewhat contained’…?

Sure that ain’t ‘carbon monoxide tunnel?’

Diprount_Tomato,
@Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe it has chimneys like the London underground used to when it was steam powered

marmo7ade,

I buy extra cars for fun.

Nacktmull,

I’m sorry for you - you obviously have no clue what real fun is.

pizzaiolo, in This tick’s spit can make you allergic to meat

Huge methane emissions reduction thanks to a little tick

gk99,

And we’d still have poultry and fish in the end.

Not the worst thing that a tick could be spreading at all.

Alto,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

Considering it usually coincides with Lyme disease, I'd say it's still pretty damn bad

LillianVS,
@LillianVS@lemmy.world avatar

This. Those who would purposely catch these to get a nation of vegetarians like some people have mentioned would be giving people Lyme disease and other nasties that come with being bitten by a tick. These aren’t things to mess around with.

Madison420,

Lyme and babiosis.

Lenny, in This tick’s spit can make you allergic to meat

A friend of mine got this. It took forever to pin down what was wrong (basically it was like having IBS but didn’t know why). After learning about it he asked his doctor to test for it and they were like “lol, no way but sure okay” and lo and behold…

outdated_belated,

What did they test for, exactly? Meat allergy?

Cypher,

Yes, you can test for antibodies that indicate what allergies you have.
