[β] queerlilhayseed@piefed.blahaj.zone 108 points 4 months ago (2 children) It's a classic because it works permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 10 points 4 months ago* That first one is a full thrift shop romcom waiting to happen. permalink fedilink source parent [β] brsrklf@jlai.lu 6 points 4 months ago (2 children) So, about that first one. My first reaction was like, are you supposed to steal the girl's shoe and keep it? Or maybe just "borrow" it and stealthily get it back to her after you're done infusing it with bits of love shrubs? But then I went to check what kind of plant rue is. Turns out it's generally quite toxic and any part of the plant may cause ugly skin reactions just on contact. That kind. Magic! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] toast@retrolemmy.com 3 points 4 months ago That's a brutal looking reaction! If I touched something like that, I'd look back on that moment and really not like it. permalink fedilink source parent [β] AEsheron@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (1 child) .... my dumb ass thought it meant roux. And I thought that would be uncomfortable to return. Not sure I've ever seen it spelled before looking it up just now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] brsrklf@jlai.lu 1 point 4 months ago Yeah, roux is a French word for red, either an orange-y kind of red, as in red hair, or in that case, turning to a reddish color (often through heating). That's what happens when you heat butter (or another kind of fat) in a roux. I don't think either rue or roux will be very appreciated when the lady gets back her shoe. permalink fedilink source parent
