For screenshots of humorous, clean, nonpolitical social media posts. This primarily implies Twitter, but Facebook, Tumblr, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, etc. are allowed too. It should be primarily text-based though.
Rules
- Again, no politics.
- No Lemmy posts. You're already on a Lemmy instance. There's no need to screenshot it and post it here.
- No Reddit posts. That's too similar to Lemmy.
- The joke must be text. Images can be included in the screenshot, but only as needed context.
- Use correct cropping. Don't have a mile of whitespace or show extraneous UI, but don't crop out the date or author.
- No doxxing. Again, don't crop out the author's name as he or she has chosen to share it, but definitely do not share extra information which may be personally identifiable or libelous.
- Link to the original post either in the body or in a comment.
We are obviously not affiliated with Twitter in any way.

If you use the same knife every day then at best the butter residues on it are just one day old and you can keep using the same knife for the rest of your life without ever washing it.
You're welcome.
And yet change that to a cast iron pan and people fawn over it.
Do you typically heat your butter knives to several hundred degrees?
Where do you think the phrase "like a hot knife through butter" came from?
I think the intent is to soften the butter, not caramelize it.
how on earth do you get through life without baking butter knives?
I’m not saying it’s never happened to me (it hasn’t, but that’s neither here nor there, I measure the effectiveness of adhd treatment by rate of cooking fires so it may just be my recipes here), but how is it happening so often it’s a regular occurrence to a degree you think of it as universally regular?
First, you can totally clean cast iron with soap and it's not an issue. The "seasoning" is oil that has polymerized. It's not coming off without scraping, assuming you're using a modern soap that doesn't have lye.
Second, your cast iron shouldn't need to be cleaned as frequently because it's being heated to the point any bacteria should die. Is your food cooked enough that you won't get sick? The pan was hotter for longer.
Then you go to grab it and you knock it in to the sink.
I have some small magnets stuck to the underside of my stove's range hood.
When I need a place to put that spoon that "I'll probably need later", I stick it to one of the magnets. Just let it dangle away.
Holy shit. That is genius!
Balance on the top of the spread jar/container or go home.
I just make mine hover in midair
Butter comes in sticks so this would be difficult.
If there's sufficiently less stick in the butter dish, I'll cover the usable part of the knife and also the butter.
I take umbrage with "couple bits of toast"
Surely it should be "couple bits toast"?
You can't lazily leave out one "of" and not the other
Except couple bits toast doesn't roll off the tongue nearly as well as couple bits of toast.
Edit: that being said, I'm not a caveman - they're fucking slices of toast. You want me to make some toast and tear off a couple bits for you?
Or just make me a couple toasts. Feels easier as a non native speaker.
I can understand why it might make more sense, but that just isn't how it's used in common parlance.
You can say that, if it is easier for you to communicate that way. Just understand that you might throw some people off.
Edit: I would like to clarify, I'm not at liberty to give anyone permission to use any word. I meant that it's perfectly acceptable usage.
Maybe in British English?
You mean not English [simplified]?
it took me like 30 seconds to figure out what other "of" you were talking about, "couple of bits of toast" looks so clunky to me
granted, i pronounce it as "cup'la bit'sa toast"
