People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

I grew up in the 70s with casseroles that would make your god cry.
If I’m diagnosed with cancer, I’m blaming old-timey cooking. Some things should be left in the past.
A casserole is one of those American concoctions where you essentially mush a bunch of stuff, cover it in some form of dairy byproduct that can legally be called cheese for some reason, and stick it in the oven, right?
Mostly it's a vegetable (tomato sauce), starch (noodles), and meat. Dairy is not required but I've seen plenty of hot dishes containing celery, potato chips, apples, whatever.
Pretty much. My grandmother made something called tater tot casserole: a mix of ground beef, frozen tater tots, canned beans, and mystery spices that went stale sometime in the last ice age. This was covered with about half a kilo of cheese and baked until a point she couldn't quite articulate but "just knew".
