This has great Omega Mart vibes

[–] [email protected] 32 points 11 months ago (2 children)

They have tattoo chicken. This is turkey. Totally different. /s

On another note, I’ve been a couple of times and it’s great. I highly recommend it to anyone going to Vegas.

(Or Santa Fe, Denver or Dallas - all the Meow Wolf sites are amazing)

[–] Sweetpeaches69 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Especially the original in Santa Fe. Everyone I've met from outside of New Mexico thinks Denver started Meow Wolf, which is sad.

[–] ericisshort 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Interesting. Everyone I know that is aware of Meow Wold is outside of New Mexico, and we all know of its Santa Fe roots.

[–] Sweetpeaches69 2 points 11 months ago

Oh, that's great!

Where is this in Vegas? I've probably been about a dozen times and never heard of it.

Edit: Ah, Area15. I've seen it from the freeway a ton but have never explored it.

[–] Decoy321 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would absolutely recommend it! Be sure to dedicate a decent amount of time to it and bring a friend who loves weird shit. The exhibit has an underlying mystery that is really fun to piece together, but it definitely takes a few hours.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I went and wandered it for probably 5 hours with someone. We managed to get everywhere but couldn’t read everything

[–] ummthatguy 15 points 11 months ago

Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that‽

Also featuring such delicious foodstuffs like Y2K Millennium Beans and Rumored Associates Cereal (toasted duo of flakes potentially associated with raisins)!

I'm also a fan of the cat towers made entirely of meat.

[–] 7u5k3n 7 points 11 months ago

Such a good time

[–] Decoy321 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Thats definitely intentional, considering the Dave Mart logo in the top right uses the same font style as Omega Mart.

Next best thing. Fresh cut apple slices and a nice sharp cheddar.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You more of a tart apple or sweet apple person?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Depends. In this case I would go with a tart apple, granny smith or similar.

[–] ZoopZeZoop 4 points 11 months ago

Agreed. Sweeter apple with something like havarti. Sweet and creamy.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

One kilo of assorted cheese apples, please.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I'll take the mashed potato flavored candles, thanks. I know exactly who gift it to

[–] jimmycrackcrack 18 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I don't get the denial one.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Me neither, and if we don’t admit it nobody will ever know.

It’s the perfect crime.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I'm assuming it's an inside jokes between op and their friend.

[–] gsfraley 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] jimmycrackcrack 1 points 11 months ago

That sounds like it's probably it. Don't have that brand here so I'd never have picked that.

[–] dejected_warp_core 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Denial for $2?! Normally, you have to do some serious mental gymnastics to make that at home; it's a lot of work. What a bargain.

Also, I know some people who would absolutely buy potato-scented candles if they were a thing.

[–] hackris 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What sort of denial are we talking about here

[–] dejected_warp_core 1 points 11 months ago

Everything. You'll forget entire months of your life, but you also won't have a single tarnished memory.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

That's a pretty spot-on job. I used to do ad layout for a local newspaper publisher and that's almost exactly what we'd do.

[–] egeres 10 points 11 months ago

This is one of this pics where the more you look, the weirder it gets haha

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Took me a second but it's plasma.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Plasm is a noun that can mean plasma, germplasm, or a formative material.

Guess it’s both? (Merriam-Webster)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

I wonder if it's a regional thing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Definitely, often from Vermont or Canada ;)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm from Canada and have never heard or seen plasm.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Today I realize Canadian are tree vampires.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think it’s a “being unnecessarily technical/obtuse as a joke” thing: plasma, as in “blood plasma” - thus, tree blood plasma ~= maple syrup

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

... yes plasma with an 'a'. Not plasm on the card.
