random thought of the day: the three colors of sauce used in italian cuisine also happen to be the three colors of the italian flag

this is almost certainly a complete coincidence

it's not that weird a sort of sound, not unlike hitting a couple rocks together, but the shape of the batteries makes it so they're a bit more whackable than random rocks and the sound seems to last a bit longer

the sound of whacking a AA battery with another AA battery would make an interesting percussion instrument sample

said person has shown that they have several apple products so i think they might be in denial or something

found a youtube person doing some information on scam tech products and it's somewhat interesting but every time there's a scam product that talks about trying to beat planned obsolescence (which is frequent) the presenter talks about planned obsolescence like it's some kind of wild out-there conspiracy theory instead of, you know, a thing companies have actually admitted to doing

i am surprised by these results because "fake cherry" makes us think of that cough medicine flavor that everyone hates

i wonder if, now that they've made a remake of demon's souls and have finished their current Big Project (elden ring), if fromsoft might do a remake of dark souls 1 at some point

would be a good opportunity to rework and actually finish lost izalith

the compound in question is methyl anthranilate, by the way

fun fact: fake grape was the first artificial flavoring made, and it's called grape because the person who discovered it (accidentally, i might add) noted that its taste reminded them of grapes--might be specifically of wine even? i don't recall

it turns out to be a compound that's present in small amounts in certain varieties (but not all or even most) of grape, and present in larger concentrations in some red wines

okay what the hell is this, i can't help but wonder if anyone actually bought these

this wasn't a marketing gimmick for the mini-records--well, no, it was, but this ad is actually marketing the earrings themselves as a way of carrying your mini records (called "hip pockets", basically they were hits from a couple years ago on tiny records marketed at kids in the 60s)

you can't tell us electronics isn't *some* kind of magic when you can open up a spectrum analyzer and see this assemblage of arcane sigils

random hearth fact, because we just remembered a random childhood memory:

when we were real young, we heard at some point that our cousins had gotten a playstation set up in the basement, and we'd envisioned some kind of playground equipment or something

i don't remember what our reaction to finding out what it actually was was, though i know we did end up playing spyro and having a lot of fun with it
