Apparently Greggs are going to start doing vegan doughnuts and vegan steak bakes

No idea what a vegan steak bake consists of but I'd be interested in finding out

anyway, here's an #instanceblock suggestion: wake.st, since it seems to be a one-person instance of someone who makes flashy gif art and has declared that it's incumbent on all of us to block it individually if we don't want people to have seizures and/or get headaches because ow, my eyes
it's a basic health and safety hazard at this point, so i'd suggest just blocking/defederating so nobody gets a fun surprise bonus seizure/migraine/etc. on the federated timeline
space jam but it's a preserve made from space fruit
Got a book for christmas, "Longitude" by Dava Sobel
It's good
It's a history of the longitude problem in navigation and John Harrison's solution to it
introducing: wordfeudalism!

Huh. I guess Makita really do make everything you could use an 18v battery with
This is a filter coffee machine that runs off a Makita battery like what you'd use in a drill
No idea why they make it, but they do
merry crimbomas!
Someone buy the rights to the Sinclair C5 already so I can get a new version of it with modern motors and batteries
Preferably with ZX Spectrum-like livery in black with a rainbow stripe
This is a $360,000 watch that plays the theme from The Godfather on demand
Because that was a thing that had to exist for some reason

going through my shitpost folder and there's so much gems
I like it when an instance gets mentioned as something to block and I find out we already blocked it a while ago

fun fact: chinese wheelbarrows are far more technologically advanced than european ones. like, you put them side by side & it looks like the europeans don't understand how levers work, it's embarrassing.
and there's a neat story about why!

wondering if this is a thing in USAian as well, the phrase "full and frank discussion" as a euphemistic synonym for "massive argument"
Why yes BBC, this is exactly what I expected you to do with all that TV license money, 9 hours of a cat riding a roomba in front of a christmas tree
It's similar to wassailing where people go around door-to-door offering cups of mulled cider in return for gifts
And I guess trick-or-treating
But so much more metal
This is Mari Lwyd (image cw'ed for skull)
In Welsh tradition, at christmas, Mari Lwyd will come around all the houses in the town with a bunch of mates and sing loudly that they want to enter your house
You are then obliged to sing back with reasons they can't come in and the argument continues until you run out of ideas and it then comes in with its mates and you have to give them ale and food
