i'm pretty sure we've just gone literally nonverbal because of the stuff with the current president's reelection campaign using literal actual nazi symbols like actually from world war ii era germany

we just

this time, fediverse, tell me about your most "eh, it's *fine*, I *guess*..." video games!

which is tastier?

whose idea was saffron anyway

let's take this tiny part from a hard-to-grow flower that each plant only produces one of and which is really difficult to harvest and separate mechanically from all the rest of the flower and then use it in large quantities as a spice and a dye

that sounds like a really good idea, doesn't it
