You commenting with interesting bacon trivia is nominative determinism at its finest lmao

Steak is a really good example of what I’m talking about, thanks for adding this

Probably the most relatable one around here is the way people on reddit used to talk about bacon - in like 2010s reddit it was almost mythologized, which was weird to me even back then when I still ate and enjoyed bacon. There’s a bunch of other small examples like that I’ve run into pretty regularly that are each innocent on their own but taken all together are just… odd. “Cultish” was probably too strong of a word but I couldn’t think of a better alternative (then or now) for the way some people treat meat so differently than any other type of food, including ones you might expect to be more exciting like deserts or something.

I’m not one to try to tell people their opinions on subjective stuff are wrong and that’s not what I’m trying to say here, but I just do really think there’s more to the way some people treat meat than just it being a type of food they enjoy. Hopefully that makes some kind of sense lol

For me, it’s delicious in dungeon. I’m vegetarian and generally very weirded out by the cultish behaviours people have around meat, so a show about people killing and eating monsters should definitely not be as enjoyable to me as it is, but here we are. Very fun and cute show tho so I’m not complaining

I’m shocked nobody has said game of thrones yet

Not an overly surprising one, but the arch wiki has been an incredible source of info with no ads, tracking, or any of the modern web bullshit for as long as I’ve used it.

They’ve been hit with some pretty major DDOS attacks recently and they’ve done a really good job of keeping the important parts of the service as accessible as possible - they haven’t resorted to buying into cloudflare’s monopoly or blocking vpn users despite either or both being the easy way out.

For anyone else who’s relied on them as much as I have, now would be a great time to donate!

Lisp uses it, with the fun extra part that operators are just normal functions - so instead of foo(bar) you get (foo bar), or for operators 1+1+2 becomes (+ 1 1 2). It’s a really fun language even just for being different than most, I def recommend playing around with it if you’re looking for something new.

I always feel like those are people that would’ve been speedrunners or avid soulslike players if they were born later
