Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

Eating a hot dog on a Friday violates all major religions' rules on food.
Islam: No pork
Hinduism: No beef
Buddhism: No meat
Catholicism: No meat on Fridays
Discordianism: No hot dog buns

Nice. That's the best part.

Plenty of Buddhists eat meat. Often

[–] mech@feddit.org 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And plenty of Catholics eat meat on Fridays.

I think they did away with that rule lol. Plenty of Hindus love cheeseburgers.

It's still a rule in catholicism, though a lot of them don't give a shit. There's also some hilarious exemptions as for example beavers and capybara are counted as fish.

I guess Friday is going to be Chili-Cheesedog day for me for here on out.
