Those aren't buns any more. Pretty sure they're labia.

Everything reminds me of her.

Edit:

Big foods' next attempt at convincing us the next big thing is less meat and more carbs. For a premium price. Then they shrink the bun under 'enhance the meat flavor'. Rinse. Repeat.

I don't think this is a "tinfoilhat" moment. Some marketing exec just read your comment and came in his pants.

Dumb question. How do I do that? Is there a "crosspost" button, or do you mean just repost it in that community?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Voyager (iOS) has “Crosspost” under the three dots in the upper right of the post, I see. So there’s that at least!

Not sure if native to Lemmy, but would guess so.

OK yeah, look for two overlapping squares on the web interface.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Thunder App, test pilot edition, has a crosspost button on the top on the post in the … menu.

Reminds me of the dad who asked his kids to write instructions on how to make a PB&J.

This is great. My six year old son likes to play a game called "what's a sandwich" where we pretend the name sandwich doesn't exist and we have to explain how it's made then pretend the chef serves misunderstood dish. He'll love this picture.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

when he gets old enough to cook, you two have to escalate and get weird with it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah this sounds like a fun game

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

We did something similar in high school.

We grouped up to write instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and then the teacher would read them literally while making a sandwich. I don't think she ended up making any sandwiches.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I think I saw a video similar to this with a dad and son. Ended up rubbing the peanut jar on the paper or something like that because instructions weren't specific enough.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

It's fine, my product owner doesn't know what a sandwich is supposed to look like, so it passed, I can spend another few hours on the user story next sprint to correct this.

This is how brain works. Half the time, I do things the other way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

This is why I clarify EVERYTHING. I'm sure it gets annoying to people some times but my Brain sees every possible ambiguity usually and I need to make sure even if I'm 99% sure that it's one way over the other.

Coward made the cut straight; grow some and do a spiral cut!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Is spiral cut what I'm thinking it is

Since the bun is already "cut" this is the only logical way to do it given the instructions. The issue isn't misunderstanding, it's the instructions being bad. It's like telling someone to cut an already-sliced loaf of bread.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It is really really difficult to write good plain text instructions for other people to follow.

It's a great experiment to try at home, or with a coworker - write up some directions for a task that the other person doesn't already know how to do (something non-critical preferably) and ask them to try to complete the task per the directions without any other help. It is amazing how many assumptions we make about what seems obvious to us.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

This is even funnier when working in a kitchen.

We have set recipes but somehow everyone makes each recipe different. It's all the same ingredients in generally the same portions yet somehow I can tell who made what just based on taste or consistency.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I get pushback at work about how I need to "be better at working with incomplete or vague instructions", but "if it's not in the spec the behavior is undefined, and you get what you get" is unacceptable.

Still mildly peeved about when product complained a list wasn't sorted alphabetically. They're lucky the order was deterministic at all

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Are you not allowed to ask questions? Are the people who write the specs your team mates or are they your enemy? Of course you can play dumb, but that might result in your colleagues thinking that you are dumb.

  1. When the Master entered the Grand Temple he asked questions about everything there. Someone said, Do not tell me that this son of a villager from Tsou is expert in matters of ritual. When he went to the Grand Temple, he had to ask about everything. The Master hearing of this said, Just so such is the ritual.

The Analects, Book III

Always ask questions. Don't be afraid of other people thinking that you're dumb. Ask different people for the same answers. Listen to the way that they think about it.

People weren't happy that planning meetings were taking longer because of all of the "what do you want it to do if such-and-such?" questions.

Which kind of rolls into product not wanting to do their job, sometimes, but here we are.

They need to go to the hague food court, and punished for their food crimes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

You do the food crime, you do the food time.

But they're called toppings, not sidings

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

and that's why grenfell tower burned. maybe if it had been covered with tomatoes, those people would still be alive.

Future archeologists who found a cookbook with no pictures.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

If this "model" example wasn't glued together for photo purposes, gravity would make these toppings an absolute shit-show before it's ever actually served.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I disagree. I few tooth pick can bring you far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

you could have a toothpick in the back, just like they do to keep normal ones together.

just need to learn how to open my mandibles 90 degrees

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Checks out. With a round bun that cut is equally "lengthwise" as the normal cut, even.

Cut it two more times and it will be fine.

Thumbnail doesnt look like a sandwich

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

This is so much more upsetting than it should be...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Perfect for Packman.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

That gun is cut into quarters. It was already cut in half before they started.

As a hungry user, I want to be able to eat my burger with one hand that does not become messy so that my hunger will be satisfied and i won't have to wash my hands.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

okay but as a hungry user, I want 0g bread now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Whatever gives air cover to ignorance.

The important part is that the dumbest possible interpretation gets the most logical support.
