Perhaps it's a reference to "mad as a hatter".

I've been enjoying the graphics in Satisfactory. Although I believe most of that enjoyment comes from their creativity and art choices rather than technical specs. Factorio is dark, dirty and depressing to represent the reality of mining and manufacturing, but for those same reasons I didn't want to play it. However, Satisfactory's bright and cheerful-looking landscapes, creatures and art drew me in to actually want to pick up the game. Then the juxtaposition of that natural beauty with cutting down trees and machines marring those landscapes spewing pollution was a highly effective choice to drive the same point home. I began to notice my GPU fan was spinning up and I dropped the framerate until it wasn't. And I've made other greener choices in my life as well, just because I played a game.

EDIT: fix typo

Do a lot of people actually add fruit to their cereal? I only started eating more fruit once I'd replaced cereal.

There are several state secessionist movements, which at various times were gaining popularity, but none of them seems to be even close and from what I can tell they all peaked years ago. You'd think that if they had any chance that right now they'd be stronger than ever, but it doesn't seem to be the case, unfortunately.

I reflexively downvote any comment that begins with "I mean".

Depending on the ramen this works in the microwave, as long as the bowl is microwave safe.

However, I've gotten into ramen that you drain (chopsticks work great to help drain, no colander needed!) after cooking so I've had to be slightly less lazy. Plus I can microwave the frozen veggies on a paper plate while the ramen's cooking on the stove. Then eat it from the saucepan!

EDIT: had intended to reply to the parent post, sorry about that!

~~They come up a sewer pipe and then walk around looking for food in the kitchen. Bad combo.~~

EDIT: I got caught up responding to what I considered misinformation while not addressing the question that was asked.

That's why I'm here. No clue what I even did wrong. Wild guess is that it was from editing a post that contained a pastebin link to code I was asking a question about. But whatever the reason, this place is actually kinda nice. I did manage to revive a throwaway Reddit account I once made, so I guess I could go back, but haven't really felt the need.

Perhaps that's a blessing in disguise. They know way too much about me already. I was also glad, in retrospect, that they started limiting photo storage as I no longer upload any photos to them. The Android app is big mad about that and periodically tries to trick me into re-enabling uploads.

With any conspiracy theory I ask myself "Would I be able to do anything about it even if it were true?". So far the answer has always been "No". Therefore, I feel it's pointless for me to let myself get upset or waste time and emotional energy on them when I could instead be doing something else.

According to researchers of Christianity, Mary would have been around 12 to 14. And obviously there would have been a massive power imbalance between her and a deity. So by modern standards, Mary could not consent and was sexually abused. And then of course he left her to raise Jesus, his bastard child. All Christians essentially worship a child rapist. I'm not religious, but I like to think that god hasn't returned because the other gods have him serving time.
