Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I’ve got a question about the classified document case. Do you think I should get Jiffy Pop original or Orville Redenbacher microwave for my nightly news recaps?

[–] insomniac_lemon@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You should obviously get Pop-Secret.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Uncle Oscar is my father??

[–] MelodiousFunk@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Pop Secret Homestyle, to be exact.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Air popper + butter + salt + (trust me on this one) brewers/nutritional yeast.

Super addictive, but watch out for kernels.

[–] norbert@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nutritional yeast is great on popcorn! It has a slightly cheesy taste to me. It adds another layer of flavor to simple buttery salty popcorn.

[–] JBloodthorn@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The 2 secret ingredients in badass cheese sauce are nutritional yeast and a tiny bit of yellow mustard.
Cheese sauce which is great with tortilla chips, for people who can't eat popcorn. (I had bad teeth too, I see you)

[–] insomniac_lemon@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

TBH, I would just go for air-popped (more options for flavor anyway, and butter+salt is easy to get right).

I did look up reviews of microwave popcorn, and things seem pretty mixed (probably due to different preferences with oil and salt).

Get the Kirkland Brand Movie Theater Popcorn with Butter from Costco - it's great popcorn, is cheap, and comes in the mega-pack size you are going to need to get through all the cases.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a question, do you ever get a box that only pops half a bag. Like its a bad batch of corn. Then sometimes I get a box and it pops 101% of a bag and it's every package. It's weird shit.

[–] krayj@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I have never gotten an inconsistent pop like that. I sometimes get bags that get all popped but a few, and sometimes I get a few dozen unpopped kernels, and everything in between, but I have never had half the bag fail.

[–] Canopyflyer@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Buy an oil popper.

Then go buy butter flavored coconut oil

Then pick up Flavocol

Enjoy your movie theater level popcorn at a fraction of the cost.

[–] Whirling_Ashandarei@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait is this really what makes it better? I have q popper and the oil (tho a different brand that's prob less nice) but not whatever flavocol is.

[–] AssPennies@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Flavocol is what really punches you in the pleasure center of the brain... oh yeah and heart attacks, it contains plenty of heart attacks.

That's why it tastes so good.

[–] SoylentBlake@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I think you should go to the movie theater and buy some real popcorn for the RICO case in GA

Since that's the only one that'll be shown live on TV.

[–] ZeroCool@feddit.ch 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

AMC Theaters actually released a line of microwave popcorn in grocery stores a few months ago. If you can find it in your area I’d stock up on that. It’s pretty good!

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

They should just take the next step and release popcorn flavored butter.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

That’d be great on toast!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

In my searching to see if anyone has actually done that, I didn't find anything, but it did lead me to this and I may have to find some. Even though they hated it.

[–] solidgrue@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mmm. Savory diacetyl grain alcohol drool

[–] norbert@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Naturally flavored (inexplicably).

[–] norbert@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

You're a genius, I want popcorn flavored butter now.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Bruh. Make ur own and add 1/4-1/2c of sugar to it to make kettle corn.

[–] Jaywarbs@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

You should get Pop Qwiz - the stuff from the early 90s that came in different colors and you’d find out what it was when you opened the bag.

[–] jpj007@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

One of those giant cans of butter, caramel, and cheese popcorn.
