i very deliberately did not include an "other" or "multiple of these" option. if there's some nuance you want to share, feel free to tell me in the tags.

sorry if this has been done before, but i've never seen it and i was curious.

as with any tumblr poll, reblogs are appreciated.

me: this is a background character who's in one scene, has two lines, and is completely irrelevant to the rest of the story. i am going to stop obsessing over what to name him and use the random name generator on behindthename.com. i am going to accept the first thing it gives me and move the fuck on.

Stagnant is a really terrible word choice, marinades are about flavor and if sufficiently acidic can penetrate and tenderize about a quarter inch into the meat, while brines use salt to make meat tender and juicy all the way through but impart relatively little flavor other than risk of over salting.

You want to avoid brining and marinating at the same time, but brining first, then marinating can make for some exquisite cooking. Also don’t switch the order, brining second will steal the marinade flavors, and for thinner cuts a marinade might be all you need anyway.

[macabremommy]

I’m relieved this post has some good replies rejecting this brine propoganda.

the novelty of having pets really does never wear off i’ve had my cat for ten years and i still look at him strolling around like can you believe this. a cat. is everyone seeing this. he’s alive he has bones and all. unbelievable

i see you giant sword boy

western cat twitters are like “HoOman” and japanese cat twitters are like “Today I will consider the state of things.”

you forgot russian cat tumblr

[sunshine-tattoo]

Russian cats are right in the middle of the two

[gutsygills]

actually japanese cat twitters sound verbose to us because the translation loses a detail: it’s all written in katakana, which is considered childish or illiterate!

[autisticmight]

so japanese cats are really saying “today i wiww conshidah the state of fings ^owo^”

[cloverandcrossbones]

Also the only reason the Russian sounds semi childish is because of the lack of definite or indefinite articles (the, a/an), which Russian just doesn’t have in its language anyway

The corrected translation with English grammar would be “I am a wave” which is neither childish or verbose its just factual and simple

[acekoral]

Love the language specific additions

This child who came to my house tonight is literally the funniest human being on the planet. She complimented me on having both lollipops and mini Three Musketeers available because "a lot of houses these days don't give you a fruit flavor option." She was very solemn about this.

[ursulaklegun-deactivated2024122]

you could tell me british people say/do literally anything and i would believe it 

[ursulaklegun-deactivated2024122]

@namelesstunnelgrub​ i straight up can’t tell if you’re joking

im a lil high and i have cilantro soap questions

if cilantro tastes like soap to some people why is it such an uncommon soap scent? I feel like things that taste like soap should be soap

before soap existed what did the soap gene cavemen say cilantrussy. hang on i have to stop this mid sentence because my phone autocorrected cilantro to cilantrussy which means i have previously typed that word out enough for my phone to think it’s a word and more of a word than cilantro. i have some inward reflection to do.

every video game released as part of a larger series/franchise should have a mandatory waiting period of 5 years between a game release and any sequels or dlc planned afterwards. not to give enough time to make sure the sequel's good and finished, but to drive speedrunners to the state of content-deprived near-insanity where they start doing ridiculous runs like randomizing npc dialogue or cutting every blade of grass

[copepods]

batshit video concepts like this are vital to the youtube gaming ecosystem and they will stop existing entirely if every game franchise puts out something new every 6 months
