I mean, that’s just like your opinion @Thcdenton@lemmy.world

One of my local tea shops sells tea w/ basically these tiny hershey kisses mixed in. Honestly I tried it (Ex: Chocolate Drizzle) and it wasn’t for me, but if you really want that chocolate flavour it seems you can just straight up just add chocolate or sweetened cocoa powder to your tea. You may need to experiment to get the ratios the way you like it
I feel bad for both parties in these scams. The scammer, from what I’ve read, is duped into the job and threatened with violence and death (along with their family) to continue the work. On the other side are the poor kids who risk a level of psychological damage that may take years to repair, if it can be repaired…all for a few bucks

If you’re on a scam binge, the NYT (yes, I know) Daily podcast did a piece on how drug cartels are scamming people using the sale of property

Inspired by this article. Thankfully it seems more like a chest thumping move, rather than standard practice. It’s not like there are hordes of addicts ravaging cemeteries like some post apocalyptic movie
tl;dr Allegedly, addicts in Sierra Leone are mixing crushed human bones into their drugs, for a little extra pep in their step
Don’t give them any ideas! 😂
I think you’ll enjoy Children of Dune much more than Messiah
It’s been a while since I’ve read the series, but I don’t recall feeling the same excitement with the successive novels as I did with the first. I did read all 6 of them, but honestly by the time I started God Emperor I felt as though the storyline was getting a little too off base.
Regarding the Dune movie, it’s what got me into the books, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. As with 90% of adaptations, there is no way for a film to capture the nuances of the source, doubly so for a book such as Dune
Just read an ArsTechnica article about David Lynch’s unfinished Dune Messiah’s script. It was a long, but interesting read
Wow, TiL. I only knew of 2 different versions of the movie differentiated by the opening narration
TIL - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
That reminds me, so is SCUBA, RADAR and MODEM…I miss the old History Channel shows, especially Modern Marvels
SCUBA: Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (Blew my mind for some reason when I learned that)
RADAR: Radio Detection and Ranging (I’ve watched alot of WWII documentaries)
MODEM: Modulation Demodulation (I’ve worked in tech)
Tegucigalpa is the capital of Honduras. No idea where I learned that
I believe you’ve just stumbled on the Maillard Reaction

Seems legit:

Definitely! For electronics, Eneloop batteries are worth every penny. I think I have ~10 AA and AAA, and I haven’t bought disposable batteries in years. I try to make sure I have 4 of each available at all times so I don’t have to wait for them to recharge. I’ve tried cheaper (Amazon) batteries, and they fail much more quickly, and sometimes swell to the point where I have a hard time removing them.
Some people say IKEA’s batteries are just rebranded Eneloops, but I haven’t had a chance to try them

Please keep in mind, this is using a sledgehammer to swat a gnat. YMMV
I’ve seen posts where I had to assume OP/the commenter wasn’t a native English speaker, because of the sentence structure and odd choice of words. A multilingual platform such as lemmy, can sometimes leave you scratching your head. Since I don’t speak a 2nd or 3rd language I’m always in awe of polyglots. I always try to offer an olive branch by assuming the fault was mine, and I wasn’t clear enough in my wording.
however…
There are people (myself included) who will skim long form texts, rather than actually reading all of the words (thanks to every prof who’s ever assigned busy work or HW on a school holiday). I can only speak for myself when I say, once I’ve skimmed something, if I get to the end and it doesn’t add up, I go back and re-read it in its entirety. I have to imagine in a world of 6 billion people, there willl be some who don’t choose to re-read the text, and choose outrage…also some people just think it’s funny to be contrarian, there’s not much you can do about that, other than smile and move along.
Tomorrow you will wake up, the world will be full of promise, and maybe a satisfying breakfast, and you won’t even remember angry_commenter@lemmy.instance…they, on the other hand will wake up, and still be them…
Looks like they’re available on eBay and Walmart (via a 3rd party seller)
