also while im waiting for my tea to steep, since im petty, and they cant fire me any more than they already have i can tell you about the Button That Makes You Lie To People because i CANNOT stop thinking about it and its driving me fucking nuts

i worked at a fancy gourmet coffee shop, but not everyone who came in knew that or cared, so we’d occasionally get ppl who got all their coffee knowledge from starbuckses. starbuckae? starbukakke

anyway sbux has this thing where they’re literally just wrong about what they call some drinks. for example, a cappuccino is traditionally a double shot of espresso with milk foam, like a few sips of drink, but at starbucks the smallest possible “cappuccino” is 8oz and espresso with that much milk? is really just a bastard latte. 

but to explain that to someone who doesnt know better takes time, and there a line forming, and a latte… is close enough to what someone who thinks of a cappuccino as a 16oz drink is expecting. so if someone asked for a “large cappuccino” we were instructed to go “okay :)”, plug in a large latte, and then, before they could see, scroll down to the secret buttons, the forbidden buttons, the deceit buttons, and press the one called “cappuccino”, in “quotes”, which would not only put a cappuccino on their receipt, but would send a message to the barista, across the room, who would then make a latte, see the pink “cappuccino” indicator, and go 

“large cappuccino? :)” 

and i just, like, that’s just, i love how, food is made up and not real

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

The Discworld

Folded by Annalisa for my brother Jeff in memory of Terry Pratchett.

“…The Discworld–flat, circular, and carried through space on the back of four elephants who stand on the back of Great A’Tuin, the only turtle ever to feature on the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, a turtle ten thousand miles long, dusted with the frost of dead comets, meteor-pocked, albedo-eyed. No one knows the reason for all this, but it is probably quantum.

Much that is weird could happen on a world on the back of a turtle like that.

It’s happening already.”

–from Pyramids by Terry Pratchett

Starring: Riccardo Foschi’s “Sea Turtle” as Great A’Tuin Fumiaki Kawahata’s “Elephant” as Berilia, Great T’Phon, Jerakeen, and Tubul cahoonas‘s “Red Blood Cell” (modified) as the Discworld itself

🇺🇸recall of various types of canned tuna due to fucking botulism <- CAN KILL YOU 🇺🇸

this involves some pretty big name tunas. if you eat canned tuna in the united states, you are going to want to check this list. botulism is one of the biggest deals in food poisoning. THESE CANS CAN FUCKING KILL YOU

EL SEGUNDO, CA, February 7, 2025 – Tri-Union Seafoods has made the decision to voluntarily recall select lots of canned tuna products sold under the Genova®, Van Camp’s®, H-E-B and Trader Joe’s brand names. This voluntary recall is out of an abundance of caution following the notification from our supplier that the “easy open” pull tab can lid on limited products encountered a manufacturing defect that may compromise the integrity of the product seal (especially over time), causing it to leak, or worse, be contaminated with clostridium botulinum, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning. Consumers are warned not to use the product even if it does not look or smell spoiled. Consumers feeling unwell should seek immediate medical attention. No illnesses associated with the recalled products have been reported and the recall is being conducted to ensure consumer safety. The impacted products were distributed to retail stores as follows: H-E-B label - Texas Trader Joe’s label – Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin Genova 7 oz. - Costco in Florida and Georgia Genova 5 oz. - Harris Teeter, Publix, H-E-B, Kroger, Safeway, Walmart, and independent retailers in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Texas Van Camp’s label – Walmart and independent retailers in Pennsylvania, Florida and New Jersey

some emphasis mine. this is not a comprehensive list of retailers. these cans were sold in more stores than what is listed, and there is no complete list of affected stores. long story short the pull tab has a defect that makes these cans the perfect environment to give you botulism. and botulism is REALLY REALLY FUCKING bad. it is one of the deadliest forms of food poisoning and commonly grows in dented or damaged cans. unfortunately, the recall announcement does not currently include images.

tumblr does not let me make tables, so I cannot easily format all the necessary information in a way that I am confident will be easy to read and understand. so here is the list of names, and check the FDA link for the specifics of what can codes and best by dates are affected.

Genova Solid White Tuna in Olive Oil 5.0 oz

Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil 5.0 oz

Genova Yellowfin Tuna in 0live Oil 5.0 oz 4 Pack

Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive 0il 7.0 oz 6 Pack

Genova Yellowfin Tuna in in Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Sea Salt 5.0 oz

Van Camp's Solid Light Tuna in Oil 5.0 oz

Van Camp's Solid Light Tuna in 0il 5 oz 4 Pack

Trader Joe's Solid Light Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil

Trader Joe's Solid White Tuna in Olive Oil

Trader Joe's Solid White Tuna in Water

Trader Joe's Solid White Water Low Sodium

Trader Joe's Solid White Water No Salt Added

H-E-B Solid White Tuna in Water 5.0 oz 4 Pack

if you recognize these types of tuna or buy tuna from those stores, stop reading here and click the FDA link at the top for more information. not all cans in these lines are being recalled, but the affected cans have best by dates into 2028.

from the wikipedia entry about botulism:

The disease begins with weakness, blurred vision, feeling tired, and trouble speaking. This may then be followed by weakness of the arms, chest muscles, and legs. Vomiting, swelling of the abdomen, and diarrhea may also occur. The disease does not usually affect consciousness or cause a fever.

...and these vague symptoms, which may not even all appear in someone with botulism, eventually lead to muscle weakness and paralysis to the point someone is unable to call for help, and might eventually stop being able to breathe. while fully conscious.

from the foodsafetynews article on this recall:

In foodborne botulism, symptoms generally begin 18 to 36 hours after eating contaminated food. However, symptoms can begin as soon as 6 hours after or up to 10 days later.

according to the wikipedia article, 5%-10% of people who get botulism will die with timely medical intervention. without medical intervention, botulism kills 50% of the people it infects. this is emergency room ASAP level stuff.

please send the FDA link to anyone you know who eats canned tuna in the US. although no illnesses have been attributed to this defect yet, it may only be a matter of time as the seals on these cans degrade. please do not become the first.

The principal difficulty of having a Pokémon pick up your groceries for you isn’t getting it to understand the concept of a grocery list, but getting it to understand the concept of capitalism.

One might assume that Meowth is the exception, given that Meowth is literally the capitalism Pokémon; the trouble here is that, while Meowth does understand capitalism, Meowth also understands shoplifting.

Thinking about the time I was working in a craft store near memorial day and we were selling red/white/blue bunting and it's was nuts cheap and this lady calls me over:

"You can't sell this."

"Is it broken?"

"It's made in China."

"Many of our products are made in China."

"Look at this red! That's not American Red, it's Chinese red."

Me, being about colors: "so Chinese red is typically more of an orange undertone than this."

"You can't sell this! You can't sell an American flag that's made in China!"

...the bunting is solid stripes in the order blue, white, red.

"I mean, if we're being honest ma'am, this might actually be the French flag."
