Aha, so it’s treating the pasta as one would a fruit filled pierogi or crepe. Just a wheaty medium for delivery of fruity goodness.
Probably not. Reddit post from four years ago has this image, and that’s from before AI was good enough to do fingers. https://www.reddit.com/r/sbubby/comments/kgjoai/my_neighbor_baphomet/
From the comments: “This piece of artwork was made by Herdis @asep.h.thefallen”
Someone tell me more about pasta with strawberries please. I say this as a pineapple on pizza aficionado.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there anything you're into that no one or basically nobody is into?
2·2 months agoFair, but you can still post about it in the more general cars communities, no?
Even Reddit didn’t start with all these specialized subs. It started without subs at all, actually. And then the big general subs were born, and only later the niche subs were born because the signal to noise ratio in the big ones got too bad. Post your content here in the general communities until the signal to noise ratio warrants a dedicated offshoot.
This advice generalizes. There aren’t enough fans of each sports team here yet to have team specific communities, but there are enough fans of each sport to have general communities for that sport. Branch later.

10·2 months ago“space music” – I played Mass Effect 1 long ago and got hooked on the idea of musicians trying (and often failing) to make music for futuristic settings. This is like Star Trek episodes that reference classical music but some person has to predict what classical music will sound like in 2300. So they go with with future retro stuff and it just tickles me. So I seek out these sorts of experimental musical pre-trend predictions cause they’re often hilarious.

2·2 months agoThere are dedicated communities on Lemmy to these things – and they’re pretty quiet. Post new content there and engage in conversations and be the change you want to see.
I’m a big fan of The North East ;)
Or the opposite – you wake up with the cat sleeping on your chest, nose three inches from yours, and you’re like: “I just want to roll over and now I can’t!”
Our cat will slink to the farthest corner of the house. It will be hours before she emerges. The vacuum ran for 8 seconds.
Nice perspective.
What would you consider to be a contribution of value? Posting? Comments? Moderating? Installing a server rack in your closer for nightly backups? What would you suggest a minimum contribution for continued use should be?
Our city made it illegal for scrap dealers to accept catalytic converters, and suddenly theft vanished entirely. Weird.
Me too! Our cat is the perfect child, most of the time. Except when she pukes on the bed.

31·3 months agoWas playing slo-pitch (beer league rec baseball), pitching. The other team was short one player, so when the missing player came up to bat, there would be an automatic out.
It’s bottom of the last inning and we’re tied, two outs. Batter in the box and “automatic out” is on deck. My shortstop says: “if you walk this batter, they cannot win.” I decline, and throw decent pitches - our thirdbaselady makes a perfect line drive catch to preserve the tie. Walking off the field, I say the the shortstop.
“I couldn’t do it. If I walk the batter, then after the game when I go touch myself – I wouldn’t have enjoyed it.” The bench dies laughing.

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•KWin gets Liquid Glass effects “Only Apple” can make
36·4 months agoI spent about a decade as a KDE developer.
KDE has this mindset where if someone wants to implement something they think is cool, and the code is clean and mostly bug free, well – have at it! Ever wonder why there’s 300 options for everything?
Usually (because there’s a bunch of people trying to optimize the core for speed and load times and such) this also means that the unused code-paths are required to not contribute negatively to things like load times. So a plugin like this that doesn’t get loaded by default unless enabled, and thus doesn’t harm everyone else’s performance. It also means that if it stops working in the future and starts to bitrot, it can be dropped without affecting the core code.
















It’s a pun!
