re: food in general at this point
@LexYeen (oh, when i say barbecue here i mean the actual cuisine barbecue, smoked pulled pork or chicken or brisket with barbecue sauce--i'm not thinking about the community cooking kind of barbecue which is something we personally don't have great associations with as we grew up in the suburbs around a bunch of middle-class white people. the proper barbecue i'm talking about kind of has to be a restaurant thing in the modern world, smoking meats properly like that isn't easy and results in way too much food for a small gathering)

re: food in general at this point
@LexYeen i have some problems with that definition of fancy, i think? because we like barbecue a lot and one of the big Things about barbecue is that it's Not Fancy--the best barbecue is served on paper or styrofoam plates, often with store-brand white bread
a lot of barbecue restaurants seem to go out of their way to not look fancy, either out of tradition (the whole cuisine kinda started from, and largely still is, a community of poor people) or just because if you walk into a barbecue restaurant and it looks fancy, that just *screams* gentrification

@owashii@plush.city @astra you might have arrived to fedi too late for it, but there was a meme in the early days about people finding mastodon's UI unintuitive that went something like "likes are now florps and the timeline goes sideways"
i believe cybre.space renamed likes to florps in response to that, and at least one person made a css thing that turned everything sideways

re: food in general at this point
@LexYeen of course! i just mean that it doesn't feel fancy when it's like. The thing you'd get home from school and ask your mom to make for dinner when you're twelve
more comfort food than fancy!

re: anarchist shitpost, mentions food
@LexYeen we didn't know ihop had them, makes sense that they specifically would do a version with breakfast sausage and pancakes
growing up for us it was always croissant dough (the premade stuff from pilsbury or store-brand equivalent) wrapped around halved hot dogs

re: anarchist shitpost, mentions food
@LexYeen We're not familiar with a version wrapped in pancakes! always wraapped in pastry for us

@socks we have the "why would i use an app on my phone when there's also a website" mentality but for a different reason: we would much rather use our laptop for anything over a phone

re: urbanism and ecology hot take
@tillianisafox Electric trams are probably the better option. Changing routes requires a bit more time and forethought but no batteries required, you just have a power cable running overhead that it follows
