To avoid deer strikes, Finland is painting deer antlers with reflective paint.

The idea of dragons in modern times is so fun because imagine a hot summer day on your vacay and go to use the hotel pool and staff is like "valued guests we regret to inform you that the pool area is out of service at the moment, we apologize for the inconvenience"

And people like "wtf why" looking out their hotel room window and there's this. This dragon just curled up in the pool chilling, literally, cooling itself down

Some of the staff are trying to gently shoo him away and the dragon does a soft little "rrrrrr" like a grumpy cat and a warning puff of smoke and they're like "fuck it i don't get paid nearly enough for this" and no ones using the pool today sorry!

So, I accidentally slipped off the cliff at Horseshoe Overlook, and Kieran must have felt bad because the next thing I knew, he just YEETED himself off it to come and join me…?

The main thing I get from Dylan Hollis cooking old recipes is this:

Recipes from the 1910s and the Great Depression are great, and I suspect it’s because they were made by someone with limited resources. But they found a way to make something good, maybe even something fantastic with those limited resources, and they wanted to write it down and share with their friends so that they could also make something out of saltines and potatoes. Recipes from the 1910s and the Great Depression are written down and shared in love.

The recipes you should fear come from the 1950s and 1960s, which I’m pretty sure are written down and shared as a form of McCarthyism.

I strongly suspect that the rise in horrifying recipes in the 50s, 60s and 70s is that this is when recipes were being used as advertising. Whether or not the recipe was tasty or even palatable at all was a secondary concern at best to if it could convince a housewife to buy more Chlorox Brand Lard™️ to try it out.

Interestingly, there has been a resurgence of that exact phenomenon, which perhaps you’ve seen: viral cooking media Meme recipes of unfamiliar origin? Videos of impossible recipes or trick editing? “Life Hacks”? I bet these will be the Horrifying Sixties Recipes of tomorrow, because they are also made to sell attention rather than to inform.

At this point, I would like to remind you all of Ann Reardon, and her youtube channel “How to Cook That” where she not only debunks and explains the trickery behind all those “viral baking hacks” but also provides ways to ACTUALLY make those things where possible, as well as a numberbof other delightful recipes, and often has her willing husband taste test the internet’s culinary monstrosities. She’s the hero we need so 50 years from now another Dylan Hollis won’t destroy his microwave or his face trying to make “ ‘this easy 2 ingredient microwave caramel!!!’ that comes to us from 2021 from the channel ‘5 Minute Crafts’.”

Reardon is also a vocal advocate against Youtube, Tiktok, and Facebook allowing (and borderline encouraging) dangerous videos to become so viral on their platforms. She frequently cites incidents where people were hospitalized, marred for life, killed, poisoned, or accidentally burnt down their homes attempting to recreate tacky clickbait recipes and crafts.

And, like Dylan Hollis, she too recreates incredibly old recipes (usually 100yrs or more) while adding educational background to the reasons a recipe calls for this or that weird ingredient/technique. She also makes clickbait-like videos herself like "Giant Snickers Bar!" or "Holographic Chocolate!" only when you click you get EXACTLY what was advertised. She WILL show you how to make a Minecraft cake or a giant Kit-Kat or a sweet gift from an old snack package. Because Ann Reardon is a professional, wonderful person who believes the world should be better.
