jarritos is a nice brand of soda because like

it's super cheap as bottled soda goes (not as cheap as 12-packs though) at like 70~80¢ a bottle

and it has lots of flavors that you can't really get anywhere else, like tamarind or lime (*not* lemon-lime, that's different)

they also use real sugar which is probably healthier, but we can't taste a difference between cane sugar and HFCS

we got a couple of fancy sodas last time we went to the grocery store because they had a sale on everything in the "craft sodas" section

in addition to a couple of interesting things we hadn't tried before, we also got two bottles of tamarind jarritos because it's just really good okay

tamarind soda is tasty

re: cishet gender bullshit 

@xenon that's something we've heard from a number of people, but never noticed ourselves

@codl i kind of wonder if this has ever been relevant in a legal context

Why do elementary schools and children's educational tv and such, at least in the US, always seem to use "cat" vs "dog" as an example of opposites?

Or is that some kind of false memory?

this method has been used in a number of attempts to pin down where language families originated, but that's generally Pretty Hard due to the sheer amount of additional influences over thousands of years

something i think is really neat is that you can kind of determine where a language originated by looking at where the dialects are most diverse

like in the US and the UK we both speak varieties of English, but whereas you may find very similar dialects across broad regions of the US, you may get cases in the UK where two towns less than twenty miles apart can barely understand each other

@Kyresti that's true! it's very possible some civilization on another planet has gotten things colder.

Though at that kind of scale it's hard to even say whether the question of whether that should be "is", "was", or "will be" is even well-formed

fun fact: the coldest place in the universe is, in all likelihood, on earth

this is not just a joke about cold weather; the coldest anywhere else in the universe ever gets is approximately 3 K, because that's the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation

meanwhile on earth, laboratories studying Quantum routinely chill things to very low temperatures with cryocoolers, some of which get to fractions of a millikelvin

@hi_cial I am also going back and forth on four arms as part of this too and i think i would like that if that's not too hard to do--apologies if this is too much ot ask though!! i don't want to ask too much

@hi_cial i was thinking about this and!! do you think it would be possible (i can definitely pay a little extra) to get a version of this with two heads? Because sometimes one head just isn't enough, but I also don't think it'll be an all the time thing

@codl we remember wearing one, at least! though it could be a misremembering

@codl yes, as we recall Amtrak trains have seatbelts standard

riding in one is basically the same experience to flying in an airplane, except you actually have more than a cubic foot of space to occupy

when you look at standard mains electrical plugs, i kind of feel like the British ones are undeniably the best, they just have every safety feature you could want

except for the fact that they will always rest prongs-up on the floor and they're probably the only thing that hurts more to step on than a lego

@Siphonay@high.cat why did people thumbs-up this
