That is actually the correct way to do it. Mayo on the bottom bun then lettuce and tomato and then the meat. This way the meat juices dont make the bottom bun soggy.
Normally when I buy a burger somewhere I eat the lettus, tomato and pickled individually and throw the onion away. Then eat the burger. But it makes more of a statement to just say they all should go in the trash! :)
Exactly what I thought. Thanks for the new fear, brotha! I hated these guys growing up. Think I still do. They were always around a pool changing area, and that set a fear in me for life I believe.
I didn’t see these until I was 10 or so, when we moved further south. They were equal parts cool and horrifying, but they made my mother uncomfortable. So she would call the kids out to mash them if she saw one. Became a regular service. We even drew up a logo for it at one point - a kind of cartoonish earwig with the no symbol around it.
In Norwegian they are called Klypedyr. Literal translation is pinching-animal (although we call it an insect). I always though that was scary as a kid, but I see now my trauma is tiny compared to ear-infesting-wig-wearing thingy. I still don’t like them, but I tolerate them
If you want to lose the solace that fact has provided you, here’s another possibly also false but no less comforting bit of trivia:
spoilerLeeches after feeding would love nothing more than a dark, somewhat moist, somewhat warm, somewhat tight environment. Which a human has and is probably something you don’t want a leech to get anywhere near, be glad there’s no such thing as a Analwig. Oh and land leeches exist.
A few of these made it into my house and my cat saved me from two crawling on the bed. I’d rather swallow a spider than have these things crawl on me. Idk what the ick factor is.
They probably couldn’t before, but it got revised in a mandela effect update.
Also the rumors that they got their name by burrowing into sleeping people’s ears is grossly exaggerated. There have been no double blind studies showing this conclusion, and the Himalayan artwork depicting earwig-zombified villagers attacking a temple has been debunked as popular fiction art from the 14th century.
One othe trick was to build houses close to each other with narrow streets between them, so they would be in the shade of buildings most of the time. This way the city can actually be cooler than the open area around it.
Of course this won’t work anymore with large modern glass buildings or wide roads between them.
The problem with that is it leaves little space for vegetation and soil, which give an outdoor evaporative cooling effect. The narrow streets approach should be combined with vegetated rooftops. An perhaps the vegetation should be able to thrive in the shade of solar panels.
