Dip your bare feet in a bowl of garlicy water and you’ll taste it

I knew Reddit went down for a reason.

Why is everybody saying slay the spire pioneered the genre when it’s a clone of others?

I’m not trying to criticize OP

But I have seen this posted over and over again, and I really don’t understand why it is capturing people’s attention.

Another commenter here pointed out that it’s mystical pseudoscience, and it has no relevancy to anything. (Ed: Unless you want to fund future research and how to create undead soldiers /s)

There’s really no mystery to what happens when a human dies or any other creature for that matter, various electrical impulses continue in various ways, then the creature dies.

The same way you fix a car, first you figure out what’s wrong, then you fix it.

I gave up on DoDonPachi. Same thing, 20 years of just grinding and sticking with it, even did the classic “final final true boss has one hit point and I choke” move.

Now I’m 49, my reactions will never be what they were when I was younger, the dream is over.

It’s like you didn’t read the article, and are specifically focusing on a one-dimensional argument while you can conveniently ignore the greater issues at play.

Go and read your own comments, in fact go read the article, and please try to come back with some meaningful thoughts.

Oh no, it seems to predict everything perfectly.

You just have to accept that the known universe is actually a 5D holographic projection on a the inner curve of a 7D frisbee that is floats through an unbounded, dimensionless 11D space that can somehow also expand.

Edit: also that there are infinity solutions to every problem. So tidy and elegant 😌

The hilarious thing about the crackpot index is that almost ALL of it applies to credible physicists.

Physics is in a really dirty place right now, where fundamental “truths” are exploding before our eyes and the “religion” of established physics has become inertial to real growth.

We still have people who will not accept that deep at it’s core, SR is broken and QM has torn off the mask of illusion. We have new JWST data that shows the Big Bang probably never happened and the universe isn’t expanding the way it has been previously thought.

Physics is in a sad place right now with people talking about multiverses and other abhorrent mystical nonsense. Oh, we can’t currently probe at sufficiently low resolution / high energy… that means it must be magic /s

String ‘theory’ is mental masturbation for mathematicians.

Hmm… nothing in our model or math makes sense… I know… let’s just jam all the artifacts into a dimension that cannot be measured. Ahhh… look how elegant it is!

Go for it, let me know how it turns out!

I made the tortillas with Maseca corn flour, salt, sugar, water and canola oil.

A few years ago I learned that letting the dough ball rest for 20 minutes before pressing helps a lot.

Braised Pork (garlic, thyme, oregano, cumin, espresso powder, paprika, pineapple juice, cane sugar, seasoning)

Slaw (parboiled cabbage, shredded carrots, jalepeno, white vinegar, white wine vinegar, water, salt, Aleppo pepper)

Pico de Gallo (tomato, onion, cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, cane sugar, salt)

Edit: attempt at better formatting

You’re making scalloped potatoes.

Can you not see the irrationality in trying to connect your preparation to this preparation?

It’s just as irrational to say that I made scalloped-potatoes style and ended up with this hassle back. I mean, come on.

To get a more consistently cooked product, I think the geometry of the surface would need to change or we would need to use a cooking device that could deliver a different amounts of heat energy to different points.

I’m sorry but there is nothing hasselback-style about scalloped potatoes.

You are making scalloped potatoes.

This would be like saying that you make your pizza spaghetti-style but then you just make pizza.

Physics prevents this from being cooked anything other than inconsistently.

As the fins rise and spread out, the amount of moisture that can dissipate can be plotted on a curve with the bottom of the potato always representing the least amount of moisture dissipation, and the outer part at the top always having the most.

And it gets more complicated because as the potato curves on each axis it becomes thinner on the edges so there’s a gradient in moisture dissipation there too.

In a practical sense this means that every X, Y, Z point on this potato is cooked different. Some points will be perfect but by definition it means other points will not and cannot be perfect. And other points must be awful.

There is a fundamental flaw in this design, which changing the temperature or cooking duration cannot solve.

Edit, I had to remove this comment and stop commenting because I’m getting too wound up about cooking lol

I would never make this again.

I mean, I could tell based on my understanding of physics and cooking that it was not going to turn out as one would hope.

But I plowed through and made it anyways. In the end, every single concern I had about this preparation rang true.

I knew going in that it couldn’t possibly cook consistently because the bottom would be a solid mass and the top would be split apart with varying gaps.

I knew that convection would not carry the moisture away from the bottom of the fins but it would desiccate the tops properly. I felt that the tops 1/3 would have crispy delicious skins but the base would have tough leather. I was right.

I knew that both ends would be rock hard and inedible but it had to be that way in order for the thicker parts to absorb enough heat.

I knew that applying an oil to the top was a very delicate game because it would just saturate into a grease pool if it dripped/pooled to the lower part.

I feel like this is a misbegotten recipe. A big series of fanciful ideas that are visually impressive but do not deliver in the taste department. Seems like it’s from a time before cooking science was well understood.
