>What's wrong with a "wikipedia for recipes"? Can you imagine the state of the site after 2 power users have a holy war over whether the recipe is meant to have salt in it or not. Cooking is not objective so it would be impossible to properly collaborate or decide if an edit made the recipe better or worse.

Cooking is definitely one place that I think the saying "strong opinions, weakly held" is a great motto. Like I have my way of doing things... and it's the best because I have my own taste profile... but I'll try your way to see if I'm wrong.

And if you decide that the edit made it worse after trying it?

Its better to have each post be owned by someone and then have a ranking system to sort the most liked versions.

Some of these recipes seem decent if you're already somewhat experienced and have developed cook's intuition. Otherwise they're way too vague. For instance, the chicken parm recipe: - There should be a photo of how to slice the chicken breast. Saying "through their width" isn't good enough. I had to explain what "lengthwise" was once because my friend cut all the vegetables the exact opposite of it. - Pound with what…

On this subject, can an American please tell me what a spoonful is? There is a great video series on youtube, with his recipes online, but all measurements are spoonful: https://www.ethanchlebowski.com/cooking-techniques-recipes/p... Spoons can vary in size, so is it a tablespoon or a teaspoon? When dealing with spices you'll be adding 3 times the amount if you go with tablespoon interpretation so it'd be a pretty bi…

The spoons in the video aren't measuring spoons, they are flatware.

Estimating, I would say he is using between 1 and 2 measuring teaspoons when he does a spoonful. So probably start with 1 tsp if you aren't sure more will work and go up from there if you feel like it. The video you've linked is as much a sketch as it is a recipe anyway.

It is a "hide your powerlevel" thing. "Based" is a term that is often used in alt-right circles (and 4chan, and some other places too). It isn't exclusive to these communities, but using it signals to readers what one's political beliefs (or at least community associations) are. The author of this page has some... questionable beliefs. And the use of this term is part of signaling that without sticking "a fascist-adj…

Oh got it! This is actually helpful thank you. I’m usually quick to recognize their code but it was so inundating the last few years I couldn’t keep up.

Imagine it was called lit.cooking. Would you still denigrate the language as if it was other? What would that say about your bigotry?

I'm about 60% sarcastic here btw

How come some titles don't explain a thing?

It's hard to imagine what's being discussed with just the name and see 400+ comments going on.

The term 'based' is only used by a very tiny group of people. I'll let you figure out why one of their heroes was a guy they called 'based stickman' that ended in prison for assaulting people with a weapon.

I know what 'based' means. The term originated in hip-hop and now it's used by all sorts of people ranging from nationalists, through moderate conservatives and apolitical people, all the way to communists, in places like imageboards, twitter and social media in general. It's just like the term 'thot'. It's generally used by young people on the internet. But it still does not answer my question.

Please, when you start with a bad faith attempt at whitewashing Luke's YouTube as not being full of edgelord shit trying to 'own the libs', I don't think I can take your opinion seriously about what people do to define their identity.

With such great things as having a picture of 'soydevs', or such titles as 'Schooling a beta GNUTard', 'Virgin social media vs. chad RSS', 'Orderly dissolution of the United States into its component parts' and you know, about half of his videos having thumbnails with pepes and the kind of alt-right shit you used to see in r/TheDonald'... I'm sure he's just a nice Linux nerd who would never associate with the kind of people that idolized 'based stickman'.

Right?

I scanned his video titles and nothing racist jumped out- could you link to a particular example?

His blog is pretty crazy https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/vegan > Long story short, a bugman is someone who rejects the purpose and role of humans in their natural environment. They reject tradition, religion, their family, gender roles. Ah, I can smell the rank mold from here. > you're given for your acceptance some inane religious platitudes like "equality" and "rights" along with vaguely Marxist notions of "exploita…

Found a bugman ^

I'm not denying the memes and the edginess, as you can just look at the YouTube channel. But believe it or not, not everything is about you and the 'wokeness'. You think too much of yourself if you think everyone has to define himself as in how do they relate to you.

> Right?

Actually yes, I've seen plenty of people like that. You're missing a relevant fact that it's funny. Just to give an example, another Linux channel, MentalOutlaw.

1. I have no idea what I’m supposed to associate with your “imagine” scenario. I associate “lit” with drunk or high, but I doubt that’s what you meant?

2. I didn’t denigrate anything, I asked what something meant.

3. My... bigotry? Excuse me but what? I didn’t recognize a slang term.

4. I’m not gonna guess which 60% was sarcastic. But more than that was defensive.

5. To the extent it was important and valuable to me to have it identified, I couldn’t care less about “othering” a group of people that have murdered people I care about and expressed wanting me and my loved ones dead. Yep you read between the lines, I’m biased against people who want to do violence against me and my loved ones. What a fucking revelation.

6. I wish a cooking site could be something that doesn’t attract this bullshit. But since it can’t. How fucking dare you call me a bigot.

7. Edit: I’m 0% sarcastic here, I don’t need to put up a facade to be sincere.

Nice idea but I'm confused by "based". What's that?

Comes from 4chan slag. It's the opposite of cucked. Hence the term `based and redpilled` to `cringe and bluepilled`. It's also typically used to endorse extreme views ironically: "beating women is based" or endorsement to strange ideas "monarchism is based". A discussion above mentions some rapped coining the word, but often words occur spontaneously in multiple communities and both can claim invention of a term.

Thanks! I'm getting old.
