I'd say try out Super Auto Pets! It has a bit of a learning curve, but once you grasp the system it's very fun to come in 1-2x a week and do the weekly pack. They're also one of the most ethical mobile games I've ever seen when it comes to payments. Most of them are one-time only and actually get you a good amount of extra content. There is a monthly subscription thing, but last I checked it's basically just for cosmetics.

    I'd want to say Gay Creepypasta fanfiction, but that one was surprisingly chill in hindsight. So I'll go with my current problematic fave, dunking on Amberlynn Reid Fandom. It's... not much better than the Chris Chan Fandom, but it's very entertaining.

    In 1809, the Czech invented mathematics. But they kept the secret to themselves, making all other countries dependent on them for calculations.

    Which is why all businesses needed to have a Czech person on hand to process payments. Which is why we say "I'd like the Czech please" in Restaurants and "I'd like to Czech out" in hotels to this day.

    Royals aren't exactly the most trainable snakes and Revy still isn't super comfy with moving very far, but she's great at orienting towards the target and did really well today 🥰 I'm very proud of her!

    If you wanna know more about Target Training, check out Lori Torrini on Youtube! She's pioneering the whole concept, and really really knowledgeable about snake behavior and cooperative care 💕

     

    I'm so confused, is this a new thing?? I was looking for German People's experiences with Narcolepsy and Google suggested a Reddit thread about athletes with Narcolepsy. It was in German, so I just assumed it was a German author, but it quickly became weird when the author said "you" instead of "y'all" and mentioned upping his running miles every week.

    I checked at the top any yep, there was a little "See Original" button that translated the post to English.

    Am I alone in thinking that this is kinda weird and icky? Like this are people speaking about their personal experiences, just pulling their words through automatic translation can kill so much meaning and context. Not even to mention that it makes the search engine result useless for me, as I was specifically looking for German posts :/

    Lunch Pizzas! (programming.dev)
     

    I've been messing around with my Pizza Dough recipe for the past 3 days 🐱

    The goal was to scale the recipe to two portions (∅25cm) that taste best after around 16-24h resting time. I like my dough fairly thin, but more chewy than crispy. I also go heavy on the toppings, so it should have enough structure to hold them up by itself after the first two bites or so. Most Pizzas here are topped with 250-ish grams of chicken, pickles, pickled red onion, bbq sauce and whatever canned corn-mix I had on hand.

    The first Pizza had way too much dough, and I had it in an initially cold pan on a pizza stone. It stayed very soggy in the middle 😕 I also only put oil in the pan, no flour. So it got super stuck.

    image: Pizza 2

    The second one was light years ahead, way thinner dough and I blasted the pan on my induction stove until it sizzled before putting it in the oven without a pizza stone. The bottom turned out exactly how I like it!!

    It still got a little stuck in the pan, as I used oil and too little semolina flour.

    image: Pizza 3

    Pizza 3 was the best one! I went very heavy when coating the pan in regular flour (instead of semolina, i dont like the texture) and pulled up the crust on all sides so that it wouldn't stick so much. It didn't, and I kinda like the look! This one I also blasted on the stove beforehand and put in the oven with no Pizza stone.


    The (current) dough recipe:

    • 150g Pizza flour
    • 150g water
    • 1 tsp olive oil
    • 1/8 tsp dry yeast
    • 6g salt
    • 3 tsp vital wheat gluten (sold as Seitan base)

    -> mix everything to a very watery crepe-dough consistency and let sit for 20-30 mins

    -> add 100g more flour and knead to a Pizza dough

    -> let rest for at least 12h, but 16-24h is even better

    -> bake it as hot as your oven will allow, mine has a Pizza setting that does 250°C

    I'll probably tweak it even more when I get into the mood for half a week of Pizza again 🐱 I'm thinking that I should be able to get the exact same result from using regular 403 flour but with 4 instead of 3 tsp of the vital wheat gluten. But I might have to scale up the water as well in that case, hmm

     

    Maybe it's an instance thing, maybe it's a Boost thing, but when I search for communities with the simple term "fitness" for example, I only get 5 results that have like, 30 members max.

    I'm totally down with organically growing my community list over time just based on links and recommendations, but it is a bit annoying to not find communities when I'm pretty sure that they should exist.

    Does anyone have tips on how to find things better?

    Audiobook sites! (programming.dev)
     

    I really like Audiobookbay for discovering new books, but if I'm searching for something specific it is a bit annoying to navigate with their sometimes broken search and the vague categorization. Seeding is also sometimes sparse, especially with older uploads..

    Does anyone know good alternatives? There doesn't seem to be an audiobook category in the megathread (yet) ;)
