An excellent comment.

Can you say "what's up, cheese bags?"

But then you’re losing the “curd nerd” line!

The word is fuck. You don’t need to be afraid of the word fuck. It’s just a happy, colorful little word and we should all embrace it.

Say it with me everyone:

fuck

Now on the other hand, these absurd c*** n*** slurs should be blurred and unheard.

censored words in posts are designed to artificially increase engagement

That's fine, it's still fowl language

All that matters is you tried.

Congrats, you fell for the engagement bait.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago

Too bad it was on Lemmy, where that doesn't matter.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I sometimes find it interesting to contemplate how best to treat swear words. One the one hand, the thing that seems most obvious to me is to just say "theyre just words to express frustration or anger at something. Those are real and valid emotions, and its silly to treat expletives like theyre morally wrong to say somehow, or like its a bad thing if children learn them, etc." On the other hand, part of the appeal to using them is that they feel at least a bit taboo, allowing a sentiment like "I feel so upset with this situation that I'm going to break this social rule to show it". If theres no taboo at all, which you get when they're used all the time and entirely casually, they no longer serve that purpose very well and people start looking for new things that feel a little bit transgressive to say. Which paradoxically implies that there isnt a point in saying them unless youre not "allowed" to say them, except they cant be too offensive to say either or they'll feel disproportionate and rude.

Ignore social implications and optimize your swearing around the strength buffs. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11586181/

Went in looking for angry Italians, was not the only person disapointed

Lol, the audacity of some cunts.
Oh im from a region that makes excellent X so clearly i am the moral authority expert of the subject and you are not showing the proper respect blah blah.
Mate its fuckin cheese, like he said enjoy it how ya want (or dont in your case) and bugger off.

If i want to spread caviar on a maccas cheese burger and pair it with a french bubbly then i bloody well will, your snooty opionions wont taint my enjoyment, and you can enjoy the cheese the way you want; paired with a side of self entitlement, un-qualified judgment and a glass of your own farts to quaff.

[–] lastlybutfirstly@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Parmigiano Reggiano? Uh, yeah, Italians take that shit very seriously. I mean, it's illegal worldwide to name your cheese Parmigiano Reggiano unless it is made in that region under strict regulations. There's entire international treaties written about this.

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Yeah, that's acknowledged at the beginning of the video. Tangentially related, did you hear about the time the ~~Dutch~~ Belgians destroyed a shipment of American beer because the brand's slogan is "the champagne of beers"?
Edit: very tired.

[–] LumiNocta@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeahhh not the Dutch tho....

Belgians, yes. It's in the article. Belgium is not Dutch.

That's wild. Why would the Dutch import High Life? It's certainly one of America's more tolerable lagers, but it's still like sex in a canoe.

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Great question. If I understood correctly, the purchaser/importer was ~~German~~ in Germany, but it's unclear what the intended destination was or why they'd import that instead of selecting a domestic/EEA option.
Edit: tired.

STOP FUCKING POSTING CENSORED SHIT

[–] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemmy.zip 29 points 3 days ago (5 children)

The comments about the censored words are more irritating than the actual censorship.

[–] Zidane@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 days ago

So true. That's why I Epstein filed the image. Now they really have something to complain about!

Sadly the reports of angry Italians are somewhat embellished. Curd nerds is real however.

What did happen is him removing a video where he was explaining how he made something that tasted like "parmesan", because the Parmesan lawyers sent him a cease and desist letter

This was posted years ago, the angry Italians have been drowned out by positive comments a long time ago.
