US history and US govt are required courses in most high schools. The information they teach is generally what would be on the citizenship test

It’ll probably be bears next

Boiled meat tastes bad because you’re not adding oil/butter. You’re also not applying enough direct heat (plus keeping it too moist) to create the maillard reaction that is needed for a crust to form

The water doesn’t make a difference. What’s killing the bacteria is the heat. The water just changes the method of heat transfer. But as others have already said, killing the bacteria may not necessarily make it safe

Zelle actually got rid of its app and is now incorporated directly in the banking apps themselves. It’s kind of like a browser extension where it has its own section in the banking app

Most movie theaters are open Christmas Day in the US as well, not just boxing day. I’ve been to quite a few movies on the 25th. Tons of major films are released Christmas Day because it’s such a high grossing day in the industry

Stereotypes generally come from anecdotal reality, but it doesn’t mean it applies to everyone in the group

Meant left y’all lol

Imagine if this meme said "Being rich is easy, if your Jewish enough " with a picture of a guy in a yamuka. How is that not playing into the stereotype? The whole point of the joke is that this is a stereotype of the culture

Huh, I never expected such a blatantly racist meme to get so many upvotes on an overtly far-left platform like lemmy

Edit: updating because my tired ass brain confused left and right

*we’ll know next month

None of those are mammals…

Don’t forget about all the Harold and Kumars, pineapple express, basically every other movie with Seth rogan, all the bill and Ted’s, Project x, role models, tropic thunder, horrible bosses, 21 jump street, etc. Some of these are also older, but I do think there are a lot more out there than you’re listing

I dont agree with their views, but I really dont think it’s affecting their demand as much as you think. Lines are always insanely long - they just move them through very efficiently. By taking orders/payment as soon as you enter the line and knowing which car to give the food to when you get close to the window, the line never stops moving

I feel like Jimmy johns and chick fil a are the only truly fast restaurants anymore. For JJ you do have to go inside, but they often make your sandwich and complete payment in less than a minute, maybe 5 minutes max.

Meanwhile I’ve been to other drive throughs where even with very few people in line, it somehow takes 10/15 mins to get your meal. Plus, it’s often incorrectly made and expensive

I only like the smaller ones and hate the bigger ones

Some countries banned plastic microbeads in 2017, so a lot of those face washes changed the formula from plastics to environmentally friendly materials. They do still make them though

A form of therapy that helps you change behavioral and thought patterns to improve how you feel

I’m still confused by the need for blocking communities. Maybe it’s because I use Sync, but I only subscribe to communities I’m interested in, and I use trending/new community pages to find new ones to subscribe to. My front page is my subscribed communities, so I am never subjected to all the other content I don’t care about

Don’t give doctors a bad name like that. They work their asses off to help people and go many years being overworked and underpaid to do it

It’s the insurance companies that reap the benefits of people’s misfortune
