What is raw honey? Is it just honey? I'm not american.

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 45 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

Commercial honey is often pasteurized and filtered to avoid crystallization, be smoother and be pollen free. While it can effect the shelf life raw honey isn't enormously dangerous (or illegal anywhere as far as I'm aware) like raw milk but should still be avoided by infants and immunocompromised people. I am also not american.

Isn’t eating local honey supposed to help with allergies because it contains local pollens? So it like builds an immunity or something?

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 17 points 1 week ago (15 children)

Honey can contain botulism, which is why you need to avoid it with babies and those with weak immune systems.

That's unfortunately untrue. Raw honey contains too little pollen to have an effect, and what little is there is rapidly broken down in the stomach.

It's also the wrong type of pollen as the type collected by bees is from plants that utilize insects, not wind, for fertilization. It's heavy and stickier, so isn't airborne in substantial quantities, and thus not the type of pollens responsible for most seasonal allergies.

[–] white_nrdy@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

Lol, this was exactly my first thought as well.

Well, it wasn't in a shelf, was it? Check-mate.

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

Can, not will

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Isn't honey supposed to be avoided by infants anyway?

In Finland honey is never pasteurized but also not recommendes for children under 1 year old

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 5 points 1 week ago

Is cristalised honey considered unproper for consumption? Honey doesn't go bad. That is the only food that is so. Cristalised honey is just that: honey that doesn't have the same texture as a more recent more.

Sounds better than sitting in a cubicle for the best hours of the day, and the best years of your life

[–] Echinoderm@aussie.zone 9 points 1 week ago

That all depends on how many bird corpses per hour you're earning.

Wonder how that conversation came up.

"I'm sad. My parakeet died today."

"Alright, fuck it, let's make a deal!"

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

"Say, do you like raw honey?"

Wow, what a quaint little folk-tale. I wonder how this will...

When did my life get this weird?

Oh.

Oh shit, someone should let this person know that a lot of these don't end well.

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Um, Ackshually... It would be for the Biggoron's Sword.

Giant's Knife is the 200 Ruppee scam from Medigoron.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Giants knife was pretty good even broken tho', that's what they don't want you to know

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

doubts

It had the same power as the Kokiri sword but with less reach

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Was it that bad? I thought I remembered its power as being pretty decent but the reach being poor so you had to time/distance fairly well. Maybe depended on the version, I know I played an emulator port of it about 15 years ago, perhaps the stats were modified for that. No idea if my memory refers to emulator, og n64 version, or is purely fabricated.

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Could be different per version, I know for the Nintendo Online N64 its power is 1, same as Kokiri Sword

At the end of this trade quest they will either end up with an alternate costume that people only wear because of the quest or the most powerful weapon ever conceved. We will just have to wait and see if the earth is destroyed by the stick of unlimited damage or someone walking around some weird dead parakeet suit that offers no protection.

[–] aaaa@piefed.world 10 points 1 week ago

The Giant's knife was the garbage that was easy to acquire. You're thinking of the Biggoron's Sword, obviously

[–] Klear@piefed.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This ̶g̶u̶y̶ person lives in Fallen London.

One red paperclip.

I'm guessing that's what you're referencing.

There was a dude in the Lego community on Lugnet at the time that took the idea and did a similar thing trading up from a 1x1 red stud to a Technic bulldozer that was one of the most expensive sets at the time.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nope, a quest in popular mmo Runescape. It makes the player fetch items which require other items repeatedly and then you work your way backwards, usually takes between 2 and 6 hours depending on what systems if transport the player has unlocked.

Meanwhile I’m stuck with one of those old-timey jobs where you’re actually supposed to show up.

[–] inari@piefed.zip 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah those things didn't happen

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 42 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (8 children)

While I agree this is probably just a made up funny joke, if you you've ever actually lived in a gift/barter community, it's pretty much this. Hung out pretty much exclusively with anarchist and various left-communists for years, and this was my life. You do things for folks, they do things for you, and along the way you end up with stuff like a shit ton of honey, and you end up giving that honey out in exchange for something else, and you end up meeting someone with a weird skill, and it all just spirals into this weird and glorious community.

The difference is that in real life, you're not saying "I'll give you this honey for a bird corpse" you say "hey, man, can I have your bird corpse, I know a girl who loves macabre art, and it would be a really cool way to honor your beloved pet," and then you either give them honey as a thank you, or just later on when it comes up that they want some honey, you give them some because you happen to have some.

I once had a friend who straight up gave this guy his Prius, that same dude ended up giving a mutual friend a place to stay for over a year. Original Prius owner never got anything directly for the Prius, but he was within the little gift economy, and ended up receiving lots of things and services from various members over the years. I doubt he feels like he was not repaid for it.

It's a pretty great way to live. It's a shame we all could never work out a way to get land and built the cohousing community we dreamt of.
