Re: Completely Inconsequential Hot-Takes
We get the all beef dogs that Aldi sells. They are so much better than the chicken/pork abominations that I cannot go back. I'm sure Hebrew National is better, I just don't have enough budget for them.
That said, I grew up on chicken/pork dogs. My parents were ... frugal in all things. They still are frugal in most things, but I think they get better food now.

Re: Completely Inconsequential Hot-Takes
If you want to make that claim I will point out that technically all burgers should count as sausage!
Remember that despite being made from beef they were originally called "hamburgers" because they came from Hamburg in Germany and I would think they were probably orignally slices of Hamburg Sausage...
What I consider a problem in the UK is that beef sausages have finally vaished from the freezer sections of the supermarkets (including pork & beef sausages)... It's now usually pork or chicken only!Last edited by Khedrac; 2023-03-26 at 02:50 AM.

Re: Completely Inconsequential Hot-Takes
Hamburgers weren't originally Hamburg sausage, they were Hamburg steak.
The modern hamburger is descended from the hamburger sandwich, which was a hamburg steak on toast with cheese and mustard.
Hamburg steak was created when he Germans go their hands on the Russian steak tartar and decided "okay, what if we actually cook this stuff."
Steak tartar being chopped or ground beef with onions served raw.
The Russians got the idea for that from observing the dining habits of the Mongols, who they called "Tartars" who would put slices of beef wrapped in parchment under their saddles and the pressure from being in-between hore and writer, plus the body heat of horse and rider, all day would result in a very tender cut of meat that the Mongols would eat raw.
So hamburgers are technically Mongolian food.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Completely Inconsequential Hot-Takes
Additionally, it's not a sausage unless it's got an intestinal wrapper around the meat. Hamburger's don't have this, they're just molded meat patties. It'd be like saying a meatloaf is a sausage.
... oh god this feels like another "is a hotdog a sandwich" style phrasing but somehow More Wrong.

Spoons are the correct utensil for eating cake, even if that cake is not an ice-cream cake.

Re: Completely Inconsequential Hot-Takes
I can see eating cake that way, but salad? Everything would fall off!
...Unless you used a serving spoon instead of a regular-sized spoon, I guess. Or you diced all the ingredients in your salad really finely.
Edit: Or, I guess, if you used thick salad dressing (so not stuff like vinaigrette) and used enough to glue the ingredients together, but that would be disgusting.
Hot Take: Salad dressing is gross. I just pour lemon juice all over my salads instead.Last edited by Fiery Diamond; 2023-03-26 at 06:25 PM.

Re: Completely Inconsequential Hot-Takes
In 20 years, the majority of global population will be wearing shoes with no laces. In another 20 years, people will look back at shoelaces as a historical anomaly and wonder why/how they lasted so long.
I haven't bought shoes with laces in about 12 years.Something Borrowed - Submission Thread (5e subclass contest)

Ok.

Re: Completely Inconsequential Hot-Takes
On the other hand, when it comes to dressing up for different occasions, usually lace-up shoes are preferred for a professional environment. For example, Oxford shoes are considered to be ideal for a job interview, as Slip-Ons are considered lazy by some in the professional (corporate) world"If you want to understand biology don't think about vibrant throbbing gels and oozes, think about information technology" -Richard Dawkins

Re: Completely Inconsequential Hot-Takes
"For example, for some outdoor activities that need safety boots or hiking shoes, it is required to wear a lace-up boot as it gives stability and added protection."
Threes a reason laces came to be to start with, ant have endured for so long. It's not as if slip-ons are new. They're not going anywhere.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: Completely Inconsequential Hot-Takes
On the shoelaces front I would say that they will disappear unless the shoe-manufacturers can sort out how to make them properly.
My last pair of walking shoes suffered from the laces being unable to stay done up. Modern artificial fibres are not only smoother and slipperier but enable a tighter weave to be used to make the laces with the result that they had laces that would not grip themselves and thus could not stay done up.
Eventually I bought cotton laces to replace them which worked fine. When I replaced the shoes (same manufacturer, the newer version of the same model) the new laces were better - the weave pattern obviously being designed to give a rougher finish - but better did not mean good enough - I have swapped in the cotton laces I bought for the previous pair as a necessity.
Same story for my walking boots.
Laces have both advantages and disadvantages, but unless shoe manufacturers can re-learn how they should make the things, the market of people that know to go and buy alternatives that work will not be enough to save them from the manufacturers' incompetence!
