!Cooking will become the new main LW culinary community but we will NOT be locking any of the other communities. We will treat !AskCulinary, !food, and !recipes the same as all the other niche communities in that we would encourage cross-posting to the main !cooking community as well as look into possibly automating this in the future. There will be a pinned post encouraging cross-posting in each community.
!Cooking will become the new main LW culinary community. !AskCulinary, !Food, and !Recipes will be locked until such time we have a larger user base that can support those similar communities. We will periodically check in with each community to gauge whether it’s the right time to reopen. There will be a pinned post pointing user to join !cooking in each community.
This is not meant to be a permanent decision and we hope Lemmy grows to be able to support every niche there is.
Every time I see a discussion on the topic of intermissions or movies being too long, I have to recommend the RunPee app. Been using it for years and I never worry about missing anything when I have to go.
The app has a timer that you start at the beginning of the movie and there are “peetimes” where you can either be notified or keep an eye out for key words to remind you it’s a good time to go. Then while you’re doing your business, you can can read a short synopsis of what you missed. The devs try to find the best times where you won’t miss much and they even tell you what times are the best out of the few they pick. They are very spoiler conscience so you don’t have to worry about getting spoiled.
The app also tells you if there’s anything during or after the credits so you know whether you should wait or not. I’m not affiliated with them in any way. It’s just one of my most used apps and I want to spread the word.
We definitely don’t want the community to be overcome with memes and while we don’t want to disallow memes all together, we actively monitor the communities for proper content. We want these communities to be about actually discussing food/cooking and helping eachother out mostly but having fun and laughing is very much a part of enjoying food, IMO. So memes will be allowed, but if it gets out of hand, we will make sure to let everyone know and discuss where to go from there.
This is definitely the plan for sure. Whether we lock or leave open the niche communities, we don’t want them gone forever. This merge is just something we’re looking at to help encourage more posts and content in general, which hopefully will give people more reason to sub, and then once the userbase is enough to support, those niche communities can thrive. Locking those communities, if we go that route, is always meant to be temporary.
This is true, but what we’re seeing is lack of content which doesn’t entice people to sub and slows down growth. The idea is that if we can get more people posting and more content, more people will want to sub and then hopefully more people will post and we can get to a point where all the communities can serve their own niches and thrive.
Pretty amazing. I was fascinated by the look the whole time. To me, it had a look similar to B&W photos that had been colorized. Which really gave it this sense of the time period. It definitely looked like it was filmed in the 20s/30s.
Came across this channel recently. Chris Young is the creator of the Joule Sous Vide stick as well as the Combustion thermometer line. He’s going some really interesting, science-based, cooking videos, so thought I’d share.
Yeah, Alton Brown taught me so much about cooking. I find that I learn so much more getting into the science of things. J. Kenji Lopez-Alt is one of my favorites, especially when he was doing Food Lab. But he still explains a lot about why ingredients react the way they do and what makes good combinations.
OMG that was just awful. Not the film, it was great, but just everything that happened. It was so simple but so visceral as well. I could just feel it everything that happened. Wow, thanks for that, great short!
Watched it earlier today. I will say first that I believe it could be a little tighter in the editing but it was so well paced and did not feel like 3.5 hours at all. As far as the rest, I enjoyed it immensely. Knowing nothing about the book or the tragic events beforehand, I was really expecting more violence and basically a war breaking out but it wasn’t that at all. The whole movie was a showcase in suspense with every moment never knowing who was safe. The score with it’s just constant drum and bass beats amplified the suspense so much. I wouldn’t say it was tense a la the border scene in Sicario, but there was this sense of dread the whole time.
The movie is beautiful. Rodrigo Prieto’s cinematography is fantastic here and it shows why Scorcese uses him so much. The whole film has this look of a colorized black and white photo. This subtle pastel look really made it have this kind of documentary feel to me. Like it was actual footage from the 1920s. Funny that Prieto also did Barbie as well. He’s having a hell of a year.
The story is very well told and the trauma Molly had to go through constantly is just so depressing. Lily Gladstone was so good especially because most of her scenes were her barely holding in all the emotions. Leo is great as always and this should be a record for the most frowning in one film. He was just constant stinkface. De Niro has one of his best performances ever in his long career. At 80, he doesn’t miss a beat.
I do love how there’s this kind of moral ambiguity about most of the characters actions. Or maybe more accurate to say theres a similarity to the concepts of ingorance and evil. I feel like Earnest is torn across this stupidity and complicity. He’s trying to do mostly right by his family but also seems very naive to the consequences of his actions. But ultimately it ends up in the same place.
I also loved the dichotomy between Whites and Indians, especially in the opening scene when Earnest gets off the train tells so much with no dialogue at all. So strange seeing the White men falling over themselves to help the Indians however they can to get a chance at their money.
Final thought, as a person with depression, I want to start calling it the “melancholy”. Sounds much more interesting to say I’m “melancholic”.
LMAO, it does seem to be having a moment. It happens a lot I’ve noticed. Some restaurant chain will make something and it’s popular so everyone else copies and tries to replicate. Right now it’s Taco Bell’s dipping tacos and birria is now everywhere. I’m Korean and have noticed gochujang is a popular sauce I see everywhere now.

Yes! I’m so glad you enjoyed them. From Beyond is such an 80s treasure. If you like those weird body horror films from that era, I’d recommend a couple lesser known films: Society as one in a similar vein of weirdness and Possession as a fantastic film that will sit with you for a while.
Oh, I just realized that Society was directed by Brian Yuzna, who wrote the screenplay for From Beyond, ha.
VOTE: Potential "merger" of Lemmy World culinary communities.
