Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

[watermelon-converse]

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

[emi--rose]

Hell yeah moon holiday

[hello-delicious-tea]

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

[sarostheghostcat]

MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY

[wafflebloggies]

[silly-jellyghoty]

Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!

[sashaforthewin]

Happy moon day to all who celebrate

[kitsuneofthemist]

This is your reminder to prep for Moon Day on July 20th.

more people need to actually pick a side

[psych-is-the-name]

yall need to pay attention to your surroundings more

[rebel13lion39]

When are you freezing cheese?!

[psych-is-the-name]

???I'm not???

[cannibalistic-cucumbette]

Thawed cheese? As opposed to???

[psych-is-the-name]

ok maybe there's some more common word for it, but I've only ever heard it as thawing

[minothtime]

you mean MELT??? as in MELTED CHEESE????? because it MELTS???????????

[psych-is-the-name]

No! Melting is completely different!

You just thaw it! And it makes this sound occasionally while it does!

[minothtime]

okay I'm gonna need you to explain what "thawing" a cheese means to you. is it bringing a cheese out lf the fridge and wait for it to be room temperature? is it heating it up so it's gooey and soft? i need to understand

[psych-is-the-name]

No the cheese isn't frozen or cold. I don't know what other way to describe it as other than thawing? It makes a noise occasionally and when it stops it's usually done thawing

[the-one-and-only-aroace]

What actual change happens to the cheese after it “thaws”

[psych-is-the-name]

it changes from an un-thawed to a thawed state

it's ready

good to go

[gardenoflava]

What process are you doing to thaw cheese. where do you keep the cheese such that it's not thawed. Which physical properties of the cheese change between thawed and unthawed

[psych-is-the-name]

ok I cant be the crazy one here. Nobody else thaws their cheese???

[ninja-pieking]

I thaw my cheese, but only if I get a block of the stuff, the sliced stuff is better for melting.

[psych-is-the-name]

THANK YOU!

also ill temporarily forgive you for the sliced cheese comment. but pre-sliced is a sin

[minothtime]

no no no i refuse to let this rest until i fully understand

so you. FREEZE the cheese? and then when you want to use it you. THAW it. that's what I'm getting from this conversation. is this correct??

also this might be important: what type of cheese are we talking about. cottage cheese? hard cheese? fake cheese (cheddar)? because i think i might be picturing the wrong type of cheese

[psych-is-the-name]

no like I said before you don't freeze the cheese! That just dries it out! And the type of cheese doesn't matter. You. Still. Thaw. It.

[minothtime]

What I don't understand is the PROCESS. like what is the ORIGINAL STATE OF THE CHEESE. is it just the state it is in when you buy it in the store. or is it cold. or is it room temperature. or is it warm.

and what is the exact process?? microwaving?? warm water??? just leaving it outside in room temp?????

please I seriously need to understand the PROCESS the cheese undergoes. if step-by-step instructions need to be spelt out then so be it but i really REALLY wanna know what's going on

[gardenoflava]

Can you like take a video of the cheese thawing from start to finish to demonstrate the sound it makes and the process of thawing cheese

[psych-is-the-name]

Unfortunately I can't. I'm at work right now, and I'm heading out on a trip in 2 days so I already cleared out my fridge so nothing'll spoil while I'm gone. But trust me I'd absolutely do that if I could. This is really frustrating and I GUARANTEE if you all saw it you'd immediately recognize what thawing cheese is. I seriously think I'm just unintentionally using a niche regional name for it which is causing all this confusion

[psych-is-the-name]

OK IM FUCKING BACK!

ill have you all know that the entire time I was gone i couldnt stop thinking about this so im DETERMINED to show you all not only WHAT thawing cheese is, but also what the SOUND is so i can FINALLY have an answer to my ORIGINAL GOD DAMN POLL

[psych-is-the-name]

i have nothing in my fridge and im tired rn from driving 6 hours so instead of going to the store i'm just gonna swing by my aunt's place and see if she has any cheese that needs thawing

gimme a few minutes

[psych-is-the-name]

ok looks like im just going to the store. video of thawing cheese when i come back

[psych-is-the-name]

now the question is will tumblr let me put a poll in the same reblog as a video?

the sound cheese makes when thawing is

Annoying

Pleasant

Soup

Hot hot soup

fuck if it’s this easy why do they close the goddamn road for like five months shit

[oppa-homeless-style]

all outta soub :(

[czechs-and-holdings-deactivated]

I work for the road crew in the summer. Crack sealing (the process you see above) is fairly quick and simple. (Though holding a hose that pumps literal tons of 350F tar into the road in the middle of the summer is NOT easy)

I think what a lot of people underestimate is just how much road there is in your city. And just how many directions the crew gets pulled.

For our city of around 50k people there are 8 of us.

Also, crack sealing is a wholly temporary measure, meant to slow the break-up of the roads, it’s not a permanent fix.

Roads tend to get closed for months on end because we have to tear the whole thing up, then, depending on the class of road, we either have to hammer-drill into concrete to lay rebar and the pour concrete, or we can get straight to paving. If it’s a road requiring concrete we’re required to wait at least 24 hours for it to set.

So after 2 days we’re finally able to pave. But the city allocates one (two if we’re lucky) 5 ton truck to transport material.

A relatively short paving job requires at a minimum of 60 tons. So that’s 12 trips to the asphalt factory and back. Each ton is around $80.

TL;DR

There’s a lot of road, not many of us, and soup is expensive.

[magnumpicactus-deactivated20230]

Leave the soup men alone.

[princessofbadassery]

Leave the soup men alone, and go vote for people who will pay for more soup and more soup people

[sephythespooky]

also be careful in workzones and obey speed signs and other directions. Soup men deserve respect and deserve to go home safe ;o;

The remake reboot prequel sequel industrial complex is killing me but the good thing is I don't have to watch any of that. I can just think "that sounds boring or otherwise doesn't interest me in any way" and do something other than watch it

[tlirsgender]

"They're making a willy wonka origin story with timothee chalamet," you might say to me. "They're doing a live action the last airbender again, didn't you love avatar?" I don't find it necessary. This is nothing to me

#my ability to not watch something is unparalleled

[thepurplewombat]

My ability to not watch stuff is out of control. It's so powerful I end up not watching stuff I was fully intending to watch

Kindred souls right there…

[colourpatternist]

Being a soul artist in the era of AI and pushing productive maximums is tiring.

Just do this, learn this now, do this now! You HAVE to do this NOW or else you arent learning and youre a bad artist.

No Debrah, im on a soul journey with my art and creative process, and there is no projected deadline or predictable date when i get to make progress on this front. Itll happen when it happens, you cant rush soul art.

you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.

you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.

you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.

you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.

you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.

you have to be kind. you have to be kind.
