The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Food purists are some of the weirdest people.

Never understood why people care so much about how other people eat their food.

The dude who runs Shelby's makes funny tok tok shorts about ketchup on shawarma. He even has a set of recurring characters and includes customers in his sketches sometimes. This is an elaborate inside joke.

I don't get people who are bothered by others eating things how they want, but idk if my personal peeve puts me in the food purist category or a language prescrivist (I'm usually the opposite of it). I think food items should be called what they're and names should not be interchanged because the idea seems similar, like a crunchwrap isn't a calzone (the comparison I could recall from the top of my head)

Worst offenders are meat eaters. If the meat isn't mooing, you might as well eat shit and die.

Like who cares? If someone wants a raw piece of meat or a burned to fuck piece of charcoal? They're the ones eating it. Let them.

The only reason to care is if there are innocent victims involved
