If you count it as fast food, Culver's.

If it's a more "classic" fast food place you're looking for, I'll never say no to a Baconator from Wendy's.

There's not really a way to do that. People pay the fed tax money directly, the states don't do it.

Like how they told them they couldn't deploy federal troops in Los Angeles then the administration pulled them all out?

Streaming. Favorite artist is the Beatles, but Led Zeppelin is a close second.

Reminder, do not listen to the doomers who have told you that elections would be canceled or rigged.

Dozens of elections have taken place over the last year, and the Democrats have flipped 21 percent of GOP-held legislative seats in 2025 and are currently +13 compared to 2024. GOP has flipped 0. There has been a blue wave so far that has affected special Congressional elections, gubernatorial and mayoral races, all the way down to local school boards.

This district that Clemons won was, I believe, Harris +5 in the presidential election. Quite a swing here, as we've seen over and over in 2025.

1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed

A lecture about the late Bronze Age collapse and its various and complex causes, by the author of the book of the same name.

I'm a minor history buff with a particular interest in Neolithic and Bronze Age history, and I loved all ~70 minutes of this video!

Honorable mention to anything from Premodernist, especially his top video Advice for time traveling to medieval Europe and its follow up Q&A.

Ever used one for honey? You'll never go back to trying to use anything else.

An important part of the demagafication of America will be accepting back those who admit they were wrong.

Turns out when you insult the family of one of their comrades and threaten to punish them if they don't fall in line, it really makes people wanna tell you no.

 

Ketchup is GOATed. Very well-balanced flavor wise, it contains elements of sweet, salty, sour, and savory. This is what makes it so popular and why it pairs so well with so many foods.

Of course, there are varieties and brands that are made with substandard ingredients such as HFCS. But this is an exception and not the rule; I recommend something like Simply Heinz which is made with cane sugar and has a much less cloyingly sweet flavor. There are also fancier brands if you like, but honestly I think Heinz is the gold standard.

As a Chicagoan you also won't catch me putting it on a Chicago-style hot dog, since that has a delicate balance of flavors that is thrown off and overshadowed by the ketchup. But I'm not gonna throw a fit over anyone who does, and I will most definitely throw some ketchup and mustard on a dog that has not been dragged through the garden.

 

I'd even take "Sombrero" over "Milky Way"

 

Hey all, new user to midwest.social as of today since lemm.ee is being shut down. After logging in to my new account I can't load my home pages (subscriptions) though I can view all, local, and individual communities. This is happening only for this username and across all lemmy clients, though I'm asking here since I'm not sure where else to ask if it's an issue with this server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
