Why Does Shakra Do This?

Because in her homeland it's a sign of respect. (No, seriously!)

We learn a lot about Shakra's cultural background throughout Silksong. She comes from a tribe of proud warriors who adhere to traditions of travel and combat. Where she's from, one's weapon is attached to one's name as a signifier of identity, and there are special rules around how one greets strangers on their travels. When meeting a fellow warrior, you say "poshanka" while presenting your battle-stance and weapon:

That stance is an important detail, because the physical way you greet someone says a LOT about your cultural principles. To give two examples: The bow is an ancient sign of deference, in which you make yourself smaller, look to the ground, and lean forward in a way that leaves you vulnerable to attack. All clear indicators of submission and trust. The handshake meanwhile originated as a greeting between warriors, in which you present your dominant hand to indicate you have no intention of drawing your weapon. An indicator of peaceful intention but not submission, as to maintain each warrior's pride.

Shakra's greeting takes the prideful aspects of the handshake to its logical extreme. In her tribe you show respect not by lowering your guard, but by raising it. This implies acknowledging the skill of your fellow warrior is considered more important than establishing yourself as peaceful or friendly. The greeting declares: "I consider you dangerous enough to feel threatened. Here is my fighting-style and weapon of choice, the two things most integral to my identity."

With this context in mind, we can connect the dots as to why Shakra lowers herself to speak to Hornet. In nature, eye-level is an indicator of size that translates to threat and authority. Having to look up at someone while speaking to them makes you feel small, establishing a difference in power. For a tribe of proud warriors who base respect around acknowledging one another as dangerous, looming over a fellow warrior so that they feel small could be perceived as a challenge to that warrior's pride.

Thus in Shakra's tribe it became common practice to lower yourself to another's eye-level while speaking, as a physical indication that you consider them an equal and intend to speak to them as such.

putting butter on toasted bread is so good has anyone else tried this shit

[icksludge]

intersring dish. drop the recipe

[chemicahs]

Im so glad you asked! In my family, we’re a little different. For generations, butter has been a staple ingredient in all of our recipes. It all started in 1943 when my great grandfather Jo discovered cows. As a youngster he used to churn milk while watching the family of mourning doves on the neighbors land fight over the plumpest worms each morning. The doves feeding their children inspired grandpa Jo so much throughout the years that an idea sparked in his head. He then started the family business we all know as Bo’s kitchen (changed it to Bo for the letter B from butter.)

One day a young woman named Margeryne came into our shop and excitedly declared she also enjoyed making food in the shape of a rectangle. Upon hearing this grandpa Jo almost called his lawyer to file a lawsuit, assuming if anyone else found a way to make food in the shape of a rectangle it must be a stolen copy of our one-of-a-kind melt-in-your-mouth butter recipe. But he stopped dead in his tracks when he heard her call this rectangular food a “Loaf.” We stared in awe at her creation for what felt like hours. That’s when I tried bread for the very first time. It was shockingly delicious and wonderfully fluffy.

But, even then, I had never thought about putting butter on top of bread before. In this recipe I will show you how two rectangular foods combine to make something even greater, something that will make you say Mmmmm! like you’ve never said it before.

Ingredients:

- butter

- bread

Directions:

Toast 2 slices of bread, spread a pad of butter on the tops of each, serve warm.

2 stars. it was terrible. idk what went wrong, i replaced the bread with a brick and the butter for cement paste to cut back on carbs (im on the curbs diet) and it just tasted like rocks. WTF. 😡😡

Velociraptors are scary but really they aren't that scary because they can't change speed. They always move at exactly the same rate, so they're predictable and you can avoid them. The real one to look out for is the acceleraptor
