This post is fucking crashing my phone

Posts that would have made tumblr user pizza go insane

You'd think Americans would have come up with this already, but here we are.

Absolutely obsessed with this thread in r/cooking where the op responded to every opinion he disliked with absolutely vicious threats 

i got the miku ramen. my bf said it is 1) good 2) Nuclear Blue. Like More Blue Than The Color Itself Blue

ill try it later tonight and post a follow-up

ok so. standard rice noodles. unusual for something labeled as ramen, and the powder is just a tinge off-white. i can detect blue.

added boiling water up to the fill line and let it set for 4 minutes.

and

IT IS SO SO FUCKING BLUE . IT IS BLUER THAN THE FUCKING COLOR

THEY NOODLEFIED MIKU'S HAIR. BABYGIRL YOU ARE SOUP NOW

THAT'S SO BLUUUUUUEEEEEEEE

blue glow of cherenkov radiation, from underwater nuclear reactors

they weren't kidding when they said "nuclear blue"

Those of you saying "I want this" and "I need to eat this" have no instinct of self preservation.

When you raise a generation on Juicy Drop Pops and Fruit by the Foot you classically condition them to salivate at Cherenkov radiation. Reverse aposematism.

That's fair.

GUESS WHAT TIME OF YEAR IT IS

TIME FOR THIS POST TO TORMENT ME AGAIN

When I made this post I foolishly failed to include timestamps on it, BUT this year I will not be so remiss:

BELOW IS A CHART SHOWING HOW LONG IT TAKES TO THAW A FULLY FROZEN TURKEY, BY POUND

If you had shown me this site in 2005 I would have asked you if had checked your virus software lately, because this looks like a bad one. I would have clicked away so fast it would give you whiplash. Looking at these sites now, I have to convince myself that they aren’t virus laden sites and fight against the pavlovian urge to just navigate away.

I navigate away anyways because fuck them, there’s usually a better site (though they are dwindling quickly). I still can’t get over how the internet “as intended” today looks like a malware ridden fever dream from 20 years ago. This is every story I’ve ever read about an empire that used to be great and has now fallen into turmoil.

Beloveds, there is a wonderful website that gets rid of all that crap<3

OOOOH.

Know a distraction when you see one.

love that this caused so much controversy the thread needed to be locked. over chicken sandwich

gang this does not even scratch the surface

Someone posted a picture of a piece of chicken between two hamburger buns titled “Chicken Burger” to /r/food. Another user commented “Chicken Sandwich” on the post, and was slapped with a 30 day ban by the mods. When they responded to ask why, the mod said

“Correcting someone in public is public shaming, on top of being incorrect, it’s a pretty shitty comment to leave.”

So now /r/food is on lockdown after being spammed with posts titled “Chicken Sandwich” and other variations. The mod that handed the ban down pinned a post doubling down, comparing the situation to “Pride posts that always fill up with bigots” and “removing racists from posts featuring POC”, and including a link on “how to correctly, correct someone.”

because someone commented “Chicken Sandwich” on a post titled “Chicken Burger”.

Okay but this also does not scratch the surface either It all started when the sandwich guy posted about what happened to him on r/TIFU, which led to a lot of outrage including someone in the comments saying they were also banned from r/food just for saying they had diabetes (this was later confirmed by a mod). All this anger turned into a brigade which resulted in the entire sub being flooded with almost nothing but posts about Chicken Sandwiches, now known as burgergate. The mod who initially instituted the ban then went on to compare fending off spammers to defending the capitol building during the January 6 riot. You can see in the post that this made it into r/subredditdrama, a community which discusses ongoing drama across reddit. This particular thread in the screenshot is locked, an interesting detail for reasons that come into play later.

Someone else then goes and posts about burgergate on another sub, r/iamveryculinary , which is dedicated to making fun of food related snobbery and drama. This does not go over well, as it turns out that one of the mods of r/food is also a mod of r/iamveryculinary. This mod then proceeds to get slapfights in the comments, which notably includes her saying she would “rain fiery hell upon” anyone who posts chicken sandwiches in r/food, and complaining that she’s so focused on moderating burgergate that she has no time to spend with her kids. People then beg her to forget the chicken sandwich drama and take care of her children. I would love to give you some more details about this incident or tell you the other side, but I can’t since she deleted all the comments of the people she was arguing with so most of what we have left is just the things she herself said. Someone then goes on to post about the r/iamveryculinary drama on r/subredditdrama again. This post immediately gets deleted completely, because it turns out that the r/food mod who also moderates r/iamveryculinary also moderates r/subredditdrama. More people beg the mod to stop caring about the drama and spend time with her kids. The whole thing eventually gets posted to r/subredditdramadrama , a meta sub where people discuss drama that goes down in r/subredditdrama. Another post is then made to r/subredditdramadrama, where the sandwich guy who was initially banned posts his conversation with the mod that banned him. Up until this point, the original mod had been arguing that the permanent ban wasn’t because of the chicken sandwich comment (which was only a 30 day ban), but because he had been rude to the mods when asking why. Screenshots show sandwich guy simply asking why he was banned and then apologizing for the chicken sandwich comment, only to be smugly told by the mod that he needs to “educate himself”, who also insinuates that he’s a weirdo and calls his comment shitty. Don’t miss this mod showing up in the comments of these screenshots and arguing with everyone else over them. So basically the whole thing was one innocuous comment about a chicken sandwich which quickly spiralled into a multi-sub meltdown that has lasted for about two days now. Chicken sandwich guy has not, as far as I know, been unbanned as of yet.

All of us on Tumblr that never get on Reddit:

There’s a hidden level of brilliance in this moment:

Chef Boyardee is known today for his cheap out-of-the-can pasta, but in his native Italy he was a renowned expert chef. He was reduced to the face of microwaveable eateries after his death.

Sound like anyone else from this movie?

Chef Ettore Boiardi, known today as Chef Hector Boyardee, was a key player in keeping poverty struck families fed for a low price, before he ever came out with the canned pasta line. He would jar his sauce in milk bottles and provide bags of dry noodles for families in Cleveland, Ohio’s Little Italy sector. It was during the Depression, and pasta could be made in large portions at a low cost. This was the start of his venture. 

After years of success, he eventually opened his canning facility, opened his restaurant “Il Giardino d’Italia” in New York, and helped feed the Allies during the war. Everyone always glazes over this part of his life, especially the Cleveland part. He lived here. He DIED here. He’s BURIED HERE. My mother took care of him at the nursing home she worked for in her early 20′s when he was ailing and spoke of nothing but the kindness he and his family radiated when they were there. Chef Boiardi was an immigrant with a dream and was always there to help those in need, because he knew what it was like to be in that position. Never let that go.   

I had thought he was a fictionalized mascot, like Aunt Jemima or Betty Crocker, but this is really interesting.

“Proud of his Italian heritage, Boiardi sold his products under the brand name Chef Boy-Ar-Dee so that his American customers could pronounce his name properly.“

And if you have a name that isn’t “standard” in America, that is a Mood.

Aunt Jemima was a real person, the woman behind ‘Aunt Jemima’ was Nancy Green, a woman born into slavery who went on to create the Aunt Jemima pancake recipe. Green created the Aunt Jemima recipe, and with it, the birth of the American pancake.

After the Civil War, she moved to a deeply divided Chicago, becoming a strong voice at Olivet Baptist Church, the city’s oldest black congregation.

She would cook her pancakes for everyone there, they were so good that the boys there wound up telling everyone … the milling company heard about it … they came and sought her out.

And just like that Aunt Jemima was born. It made its debut at the World’s fair in Chicago in 1893. As legend tells it, Green sold 50,000 boxes of the now famous pancake mix.

After her death, female ambassadors hired by Quaker Oats continued the legacy. Yes, Aunt Jemima was a mascot, but she was also a real person.

The faces of Aunt Jemima through the past 100 years were real people, not black caricatures, real people carrying on Green’s legacy.

This is the original box, with Green as the mascot on the cover.

This is a knockoff.

Many are trying to erase Green’s legacy because they saw the knockoff and declared Aunt Jemima racist, the Aunt Jemima figure was used in some knockoff advertisements that would by todays standards be racist but the actual portrayal of Green and her follow ups was not, and we should not erase her legacy.
