Cambrian cuisine would have to exclude the garlic, tomatoes and zucchini though. No land plants yet. And no mammals so no cream.

But otherwise, totally agree! If it lived in these times I would be up for these dishes.

Had to look up hallucigenia but they sure do look like they’ll provide an interesting texture to a dish.

Wish it was still here to be part of the Christmas dinner

It was founded by former Nazi Party members.

I just meant there’s plenty of brands with a more clear connection than Burger King or MasterCard. I thought this meme was about brands with Nazi origins but I was thrown off by these two.

Missed opportunity to keep it entirely Nazi themed by replacing Mastercard by Volkswagen and Burger King by Adidas, or some other brands with Nazi origins.

Or at least I think that’s why Fanta is there?

We can’t just cancel entire genres of music

Pan make food hot. But cold food make flimsy lightweight pan less hot too. Food just sort of simmers while sometimes you want scorching.

Cast iron, or heavy bottom stainless steel pan, stays hot while food touches the pan. More energy is stored in hot heavy bottom pan. Food gets scorched and this gives more roasty toasty flavour, which is better in my opinion. If you don’t care for this, don’t.

Also, heavy bottoms spread heat more evenly so everything is cooked at same speed (not the middle of the pan faster like most non-stick pans).

Something about some new scientific discovery or new technology that will ruin everything but then doesn’t

China does. And in Western Europe no one needs to live on the street (if they agree with getting the help they need) and is provided with some income for basic necessities?

You’d share OUR dreams

According to the logic of Chinese medicine, yes.

It doesn’t help the longevity of the molerats though.

That there is no solution to climate change under capitalism

Hence my phrasing: going back, whatever that may mean, or forward, whatever that may mean.

We will always progress into the future. Going “back” to a more local agricultural society coexisting with nature can also be seen as progress. Progress is not the same as technological advances, we can progress as a society or as humanity. And we probably need a mix of both: coexistance with our environment and technological innovation. A framing of the question being either about progress or regression is utterly useless.

I was talking about choosing less development.

But yeah, I agree on the necessity of getting rid of capitalism for these scenarios to work out

Yes I agree on the likely outcome that the world will be “less developed”. But this always makes me think that we should choose this outcome rather than wait for it. That way we’ll have more control and we may limit some damage.

If we have to go “back”, whatever that means, I’d rather do it voluntarily as the urge to always go “forward”, whatever that means, seems to be an underlying cause of our problems.

I think this is offensive to mosses

I also like that there’s a little less stuff on here, it’s easy to spend less time on my phone. No need for endless shit. Occasional crap is enough.

Very cute. What kind of amanita is it? I don’t see a universal veil?

Food in Scotland is great! I had great pies, roast pig, lamb, black pudding, haggis, cakes. It was all great. Hardly any veggies though, if you’re into that kind of thing.
