Extremely passionate niche communities about seemingly mundane things are my absolute favorite thing about the internet.
The only thing I actually miss about reddit is the neverbrokeabone subreddit. A whole community dedicated to trash talking weak-boned bitches was just hilarious to me.
Isn’t breaking bones a rare thing? Wouldn’t much more people fall into the never broke a bone category than those who did?
Exactly, that’s what made the community so funny. You might have a few hundred thousand members who had never broken a bone, but then just due to statistics, every day you’d have a couple people break a bone. So it was a perfect opportunity to flame them for having brittle baby bird bones.
Have you seen Ian’s Shoelace Site? It’s serious business. And actually useful.
That’s so weird I taught myself how to tie my shoes in the “Ian knot” when I was like 12 to seem special and I had no idea it was a whole site.
For anyone out there who doesn’t know it already, learn the Ian knot. Life saver
Anybody else remember bad-candy.com? It was just one guy reviewing terrible candies, like Swedish salty licorice and circus peanuts. I miss the old internet.
Circus peanuts are great, you just have to like the artificial banana flavor (which is what they are, and that’s one of my fave candy flavors so).
But if you miss the old internet, you’ll like this :) it’s a search that brings up very old pages. Nostalgia trip fr.
I have a feeling it was their favorite apple because it was good for making booze, pies and sauce, not eating raw.
Granny Smith is similar in that role nowadays.
Granny Smith eaters probably drink black coffee, rye whiskey neat and punch kittens.
I don’t think I can even find Red Delicious in the stores any more. The new varieties have really taken it’s mealy blandness away.
Why would you guess that when I’m talking about an apple variety that apparently isn’t commonly found in stores anymore
What’s wrong with Granny Smiths? Crisp, slightly sweet, tart. What’s not to love?
From lower down on that site’s page dedicated to the sand-filled condom:
Fuji Apple:
Yet another demon spawn of the Red Delicious (crossed with a Ralls Janet) this gravelly choking hazard named after Fujisaki City, Japan is a J-Pop Star of an apple fit with a ravenous fanbase that many Americans will find difficult to understand. Personally, it is beyond comprehension how this super-hard medieval weapon masquerading as a fruit could become the most popular apple in Japan (and a top 5 apple worldwide). Aside from a semi-sweet initial bite, this mushy, rough-skinned, experiment gone awry is a baffling oddity with a sword-like stem so sharp it will – quite literally – stab other apples in transit. Despite this, the Fuji fandom is real, uncompromising, and dedicated. A Fuji is not for everyone but, if it’s for you, it just may be your favorite apple.
Oooh! Ooh! Why i oughta! Oohhh! Mmmmmhh! (hops around, angrily)
Lol this site is gold. Even for the good apples, the descriptions are wild.
Most would expect this clown-urine soaked frog testicle to taste like an unhealed surgical wound since each bite resembles a freshly picked scab. However, most (whoever they are) should prepare their expectations to be shattered.
This is my favorite one so far- https://applerankings.com/green-dragon-apple-review/
