Maybe my taste buds aren’t refined but I can’t tell the difference

There is practically no difference unless you fully defreeze it in a microwave which will usually make it feel soggy. However you can get it mostly defrosted in the microwave, and finish the job in an oven, and it will basically feel like fresh bread

I think China is still one giant timezone, yes.

Yeah imo that floor is more of a deal breaker than the overabundance of purple, but then again I am a purple enjoyer (although I prefer my purple to have more blue in it)

I may be wrong here but I think that just like sky diving vs BASE jumping, you can actually just do it from a plane, which sounds like it would be a lot less dangerous

North Korea is so starved that their cameras remove 10 pounds

Or Grük got real fucking good at throwing spears hard

I want mine to just scream “AAAAAAA-” continuously and base the volume on the speed

Bruh English is not even my first language and I started really understanding RATM’s lyrics near the end of highschool, without having to ever read them because I was too lazy cool for that. I do have pretty good English comprehension skills but I’m sure the average native speaker does better than me

I thought this was covered by “This is America” /s

It’s probably poisoned like in many countries

I was thinking, no way they have France or Italy beaten in absolute coffee consumption. We are quite addicted to coffee and there’s 10x more of us

This guy murders. Username checks out too

Haha military industrial complex go brrrr

^(This is meant as a tongue-in-cheek appreciation of the USA actually doing some good with said military industrial complex, please don’t get mad)

Price per kg is still mandatory in France. The full history of it for every product is not. So we don’t necessarily notice the price increase if it’s done in small increments

Normally the good jokes are also somewhat smart, even though they are not “serious”. A joke about Texas being big is not very smart, IMHO

Yeah this is literally Europeans clowning on the dumb “joke” with our own version of the dumb joke.

Yeah, well, I can drive 1 hour and cross 3 borders. And I won’t have to go through an immigration/customs checkpoint at any of these borders.

Old-timey style housekeepers are basically only a thing for the ultra rich, but hiring someone to clean your house and/or do some laundry is quite common in the upper middle class

Interesting. Here in France the “bourgeois” thing is usually to not have your guests take their shoes off inside (because you’re not the one doing the cleaning later)

My dad has a few pairs of boat shoes for this reason, and my mom uses her old pairs of Birkenstocks.

You may not like it, but the easy answer to this question is Crocs. You buy them in bulk, leave them by the door, and slip them on to do your thing outside. Or I guess sabots if you are oldschool and French (they pair very well with some type of slippers we call “charentaises” that were originally made as inserts for sabots. So basically if you are using this ancient combo you don’t even have to take your slippers off to go outside).

For the bike ride you would obviously get some proper “outside” shoes. Although if you have dedicated gardening shoes you could choose to keep them on if you don’t care about looks (and if my grandparents were of any indication, I’d say that if you have grandkids, you don’t).
