  • Sometimes yeah, there might be a tiny bit of dried poop with like a tiny feather stuck on the egg.

    Depending on what I do with them though you can always just give em a wash if you want to. But if I’m just cracking it to a pan why bother?

    Here in Finland our eggs are so good that the government’s official guideline is that it is safe to eat raw eggs.

    Now the US might get a similar official stance with brainworm man as the highest health official, but I don’t think I would trust them as much as the Finnish food authorities. And while I don’t trust my government to not fuck shit up in general, food hygiene has never been an issue.


  • Norwegian krone =/= Swedish krona

    I mean 1 krone is 0.97 krona so it’s not a huge difference but I’m sure Americans would point out if someone had been talking about US dollars and a person replied with a comment with, idk, Canadian dollars.

    Sorry I’m just pedantic and krona and krone is easy to confuse probably, it’s not like one of them is “the default” like USD when talking of dollars. Although krone and krona do have actually different words, but the difference isn’t a massive one to be fair.






  • I mean… evolution can “repurpose” things. So the thing it was before isn’t needed and it’s capacity to do what it did is greatly diminished. Ie we couldn’t claw food or earth really even, so our nails would not qualify as claws as much as they once must have been similar to what rodents have.

    I do take your point though, as in “vestigial” referring to an organ or a part of anatomy which hasn’t got a purpose. And nails still serve purposes that claws might as well, like prying open nuts or some such basic stuff.

    But if we discard the manipulation abilities we have on our forelimbs and only consider toenails, what then? Would you consider toenails vestigial claws?




  • I mean… nails on our hands definitely have a function, yes. But they only serve those functions because they’re not proper claws. If we actually had claws, we wouldn’t manage such fine manipulation.

    I think that’s more like a happy accident though. I was more thinking about toenails. My late father’s (RIP stubborn bastard) nails definitely were closer to claws than nails.

    And that made me think of elephant toes. Did you know elephants are basically tiptoeing all the time, btw? It just very much doesn’t look like it.






  • I have like a huge pile of letters from some twat lawyers sending threatening letters about copyright.

    The sad thing is most people I asked say “I would pay”. This was like more than 10 years ago when I first got some of them.

    The Pirate Party in Finland tried informing people of them being just threats, but Finns are really complicit people and afraid of breaking any rules, so I’m sure these twat lawyers made thousand, tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands. With Finland’s tiny 5m population.

    Basically what happens is some company in Germany which owns the rights to some B-class show or just a porn film even, then they upload it to an open torrent site. Wait for people to download it (remember the didn’t give permission to download it), look at the IP’s, then send the respective country in EU a request for the ISP to get that IP owner’s information and then hire a local lawyer to send them a threatening letter; “you’ve illegally downloaded a porn movie, pay us 800€ or we’ll take you to court and you’ll have to pay tens of thousands.”

    And if that goes to someone married or someone who downloaded fetish porn or something, they’ll be even more likely to pay.

    I never replied or did jack shit. Nothing has happened.
