If you're extremely low spoons like me, you can used canned or frozen veggies, and some supermarkets sell pre-cooked chicken

Throw it all in the pot and fry it with butter to make it taste better, then throw in your water and noodles until it looks good

If you don't have the energy but have a spice rack, powdered garlic, onion, ginger. Measure with your heart. Add one egg yoke. Dash of regular soy sauce. Siracha, again measure with your heart. Don't have that? Chili flakes or anything with a mild spice. Mix. Set aside. Heat water. Bring to a boil. Add ramen packet + ramen noodles. Cook till soft. Add one ladle of your broth to your yoke + spice mix. Mix that. Add noodles + additional broth. Add extra dash of soy sauce. Eat and be content.

Speaking as someone who is frequently busy AND low-energy, let me tell you some of my ramen hacks!

Prepackaged broth.

Canned chicken or any leftover meat you may have. Add it in the last few minutes of cooking.

I endorse the frozen veggies! Also add those in the last few minutes of cooking.

Add some miso paste and a pat of butter. mmmm, richer broth.

Finally, because I have a lot of days where I have no energy AND barely time for lunch: THE MICROWAVE. Put your broth and noodles in a bowl, microwave it for 2 minutes. Pull apart the noodles (which will still be firm but not a brick) to make a little nest to crack an egg into. Add any other protein and your frozen veggies, then microwave it for another 2 minutes. THE BOWL WILL BE VERY HOT WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT OF THE MICROWAVE, BE CAREFUL. But look at that! Fast, delicious, nutritious ramen!

Standard ramen bricks do not have to be boiled. You can prepare them exactly like cup ramen: Brick in bowl, powder on brick, pour two cups boiling water over it. Cover bowl with a plate. Give it about four minutes. Perfect soft noodles. Never gets that horrid ramen slimy situation going even if you ADHD away from your wip food, the noodles are still soft and lovely, just uhh cold.

If you have access to an Asian grocery store, try pickled mustard green. It's like $2 and, being pickled, lasts forever in the fridge. Especially wonderful on jjajang (black soybean) ramen.

It was stupid good. So good in fact that the bbc filmed a version and put it on dvd when it debuted. I bought that dvd after I saw the show and put it up on the Internet Archive. The audio is not great but the dancing is spectacular. Ever see a pas de deux around an anatomical dissection? You will.

being a jew studying preholocaust european jewish history is just *mourns over what could have been, mourns over what could have been, mourns over what could have been, mourns over what could have been, mourns-*

WWII alternate history stories always go “What if the Nazis won.” WHAT IF THE JEWS LIVED?

kanguin

That’s actually such a good point about alternative history. So many ask “what if we got the bad ending?”, ignorant of the fact we did, that’s just a worse ending.

Asking “what if the Nazis won” allows one to live in the safe world where the Nazis were the root source of evil in WWII. Asking “what if the Jews lived” forces you to confront the fact that almost all of Europe was complicit in their eradication. Every European power, the United states, everyone involved hated the Jewish people. Everyone was complicit in antisemitism, everyone just sat back and let it happen.

It took an invasion of Poland for the UK and France to act, and it took a direct attack on the US for the US to officially get involved. All of the torture, enslavement, and murder of Jews before this were overlooked because not even below the surface, the German antisemitism wasn’t unique. And basically nobody has the guts to address that.

I swear to Tumblr is the only social media space where I’ve found conversations. I love me an unrolled thread on Twitter, but that’s always one very articulate person. Here people build on one another’s thoughts in a way that helps me see more.

Thank you @avramchaja, @meirmakesstuff, and @kanguin.

You are looking at this with full 20/20 hindsight. A significant flaw to studying History if that’s ALL You are doing. You need to keep in mind what was communication technology available at the time.

Today something happens in Timbuktu you know as soon as someone has the second to post a full color with sound video of it on the intarwebs.

1930 to about 1950 there isn’t even a TV. You have radio and newspapers. You also have telephone and telegraph.

That’s it. Photos take film. That needs to develop. It also needs to be sent or carried to be printed and every paper has the same story told a different way by a different writer.

Sure the AP (Associated Press) is there and has been since 1846, but to get the scoop they’d have to get reporters into war torn areas. Not everyone wants to be a war correspondent, it’s obviously dangerous, especially if one side is doing those atrocities. You kill a reporter in a war zone it’s business as usual, especially as there is NO LIVE COVERAGE in 1935. At least not in a war zone.

Do you know what’s going on in North Korea? No. For the same reason.

So, here’s the thing…you’re wrong? Not in the sense that it is easy to look at history with hindsight or while projecting modern values and have that skew your academic perspective, that’s all true. It’s just not true as relates to the Holocaust.

Because the historical record, including documents and full-blown press statements of the time, make it very clear the allies were perfectly aware of the Holocaust as it was occurring.

How do we know? Well, see, we have documents from the Polish government-in-exile informing the allies about Auschwitz-Birkenau and what was going on there dated in 1941. The Riegner telegram and Raczynski note, both detailing ongoing details of the Holocaust, were received by the UK and US in 1942.

The US publicly called on Germany to stop murdering Jews in 1942.

A sitting Supreme Court Justice interviewed a Polish partisan who had been to the Warsaw Ghetto and spied on Belzec in order to create a report for the President in 1943. After years of disagreement between the State Department and Department of Treasury, Treasury authored a memo to the White House titled: Report to the Secretary on the Acquiescence of this Government in the Murder of the Jews. That was 1944.

So yes, we can and should bear in mind that news travelled more slowly and was harder to come by during the Holocaust, but in this case that is irrelevant because the information was actually there. The allied governments knew what was going on, even if they knew later in the game than we’d know today.

Technology and communication limitations weren’t the reason the allies didn’t help the Jews of Europe during the Holocaust, antisemitism was. Plain and simple. And very ugly.

Sometimes I wish I had the confidence of an online polyamorous white genxer from the Pacific Northwest who just got a new crystal necklace and is using it as an excuse to post a tit pic to a chorus of praise from excitable bearded pagans & bisexual barnes and noble employees who do burlesque

you need to discipline your child. port is a horrible choice for the main course and wildly clashes with a rich béarnaise.

honestly if teleporters ever got invented during my lifetime i would be the most annoying analog boomer about it. my grandkids would be like ugh, grandma, why don’t you just take a teleporter trip to come visit us, we all do it all the time and it’s obviously safe and i would be like absolutely not. it kills you and reconstitutes a copy with your exact memories. you are consciously my grandchildren and i do not hold it against you but i know in my heart that you are nothing but copies of copies of copies borne out of irresponsible technology use. i am not touching that devil’s elevator as long as i live. i will take an airplane and you will wait for the several hours it takes for me to come visit you
