Am I the only one who read “lattice” and “lattices” as “lettuce” and “lettuces?”

I also remember punks resorting to egg whites and Elmer’s
Punks actually just did that anyway, even back when the good hairspray was still plentiful. Everyone just had their own “best” method that they swore by: egg whites, school glue, Knox gelatin, I even knew a couple of gutter punks who put their mohawks up with spray paint. I used to use an extra thick hair gel that you could only find in places where they sold hair care products for black people. I think most people probably preferred the hairdryer and AquaNet method though. It was cheap, relatively easy, and it worked.
The three original milks are evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and half and half (or heavy cream if you’re feeling nasty), so the fourth milk could be just plain ol’ regular milk.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the coolest website you’ve visited that no one knows about?
1·6 months agoThe Internet K Hole . A rotating collection of old snapshots (occasionally nsfw) presented without context. It’s weirdly enthralling. You can lose hours and hours on that site.
I can only see a Vogon.
Edit: I lied, I can also see Rygel from Farscape.

1·10 months agoIf we go to war I’ll be very surprised if they’ll announce it ahead of time. I think it’s far more likely that we’ll just wake up one day and already be at war.
A lot of engines have a big plastic trim piece that sits on top and doesn’t really do anything except make the engine compartment look tidy. I guess you could call that a topper.

politics @lemmy.world•This Trump Voter Is Having Second Thoughts After ICE Agents Detained Him at Gunpoint
2·2 years agoThere’s going to be a lot of that. I live in the Southwest, and the number of Trump-voting Latinos is shockingly high. There are a lot of conservative Latinos who straight up consider themselves to be white. Gonna be a real shock for them when it finally sinks in what the rest of their party thinks about that.

My knee pain is associated with arthritis, unfortunately. I wish stretching helped. I’m even a couple years younger than OP, but when I walk up stairs it sounds like I’m crinkling two big balls of cellophane.
I could still do without the knee pain though.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do butchers have yellow breadcrumbs on their meat?
17·2 years agoUsually breading meat starts with dipping the meat into an egg wash before you dip it in the bread crumbs, so the yellow probably comes from egg yolk.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?
1·2 years agoFor people who don’t know, the theory of chiropractics is that the light of God somehow shines into the human body through the top of the head, travels down the spine, and on through the nerves. If you can just fix any blockages (aka “subluxations”) in that flow then it will be impossible for disease to exist in the body. Because God’s light.
The founder of chiropractics was told this information by a ghost.
I know some people swear by chiropractic adjustments, but this is information I wish I’d known when I had my back injury because going to a chiropractor set my recovery back by at least three years. And the money I lost to that quack could have paid for not only the legit physical therapist that actually got me feeling better, but probably a decent massage chair too.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you search for honest product recommendations?
10·2 years agoSame for me too. Reddit, for all its other faults, is still just about the only place you can still get candid opinions on products in a place where it’s discussed by a large group with a deep knowledge base. Especially with niche things like fountain pens, goodyear-welted boots, and stuff like that.
Not sure how long that’s going to last though. The search engines are already hip to that trick, and even in just the last few months I’ve noticed a change in how many Reddit links I get vs product links when I add Reddit to my search query. Reddit is hip to it too, and with recently becoming a publicly traded corporation they’re probably going to wring every last cent out of that until every post mentioning a product is a bot-infested sewage fire like everything else.
