I blame Jamie Oliver. Not for any particular reason, I just don't like the guy.

[โ€“] Son_of_dad 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My favorite video is still the one where he tried to put kids off nuggets by showing them how they're made, but the kids still wanted the nuggets and Jamie's face of heartbreak was delicious.

and Folding Ideas / Dan Olson made a documentary about what an underhanded editing technique that was, comparing the UK and US shows to expose the trick

Does anyone remember one of the earliest instances of what could be called memes on the internet in the early 2000's, where someone ran a blog-style site about Jamie Oliver ranting about their latest reason for disliking Oliver, which invariably ended with...

"...you fat tongued cunt"

No? Just me?

How do they tell the difference between parasite induced diarrhea and normal English cooking induced diarrhea?

[โ€“] xkforce 11 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure English food didnt just start being terrible recently.

Please educate yourself before posting this kind of ignorant comment.

and scientists don't know why

The article quite clearly explains that it's a parasite outbreak.

[โ€“] warmaster 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But why is the parasite doing this ? The parasite community must answer for their crimes.

Sorry, my fault. I was just on holiday all over GB. I will be leaving tomorrow and taking my severe IBS on the plane with me to torture Germany with. PS your toilet paper sucks.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's absorbant, sure, but I wouldn't say it sucks exactly.

[โ€“] supernicepojo 1 points 1 year ago

After all the hype of the bidet being available in Europe, I have yet to find one. I was disappointed about that which coloured my opinion about the paper. Also, I got poo on my finger after a very long day at a pub in Leicester.

I like how it calls the illness "Crypto", then like to imagine it's an article about Bitcoin etc.

"Crypto is caused by inadvertently ingesting faecal matter"

"Most people recover from crypto without needing treatment"

[โ€“] medicsofanarchy 2 points 1 year ago

So if you ingest faecal matter on purpose, you're safe. Good to know. /s

[โ€“] Terrapinjoe 5 points 1 year ago

It must run in their jeans

[โ€“] feedum_sneedson 1 points 1 year ago

It was awful.
