The Very-Many-Questions-Not-Worth-Their-Own-Thread Thread XLII

I know, the sun's heat was sort-of too dry. But it's what we have in this era of power blackouts and record heat.

If only that wood currently being used to dry tobacco would be used in heating saunas the world would be exponentially better place. Not that burning wood in lower temperatures is that good for public health either

 

[Takhisis]

There's a lot of particulate contamination from burning wood, so maybe saunas could be made to depend on electric heaters. The wood is, as I understand, more necessary for hitting people with. I watched all five hours of Tuntematon sotilas and learned a lot, including that.

I want one of those electric sauna rooms you can install in your house.

 

[Grendeldef]

That's a good start but those are still 2nd & 3rd grade replicas at best. For convenience electric & for style & ambience wood burning - preferably both. Electric ones are most often much easier & cheaper to build afterwards.

Vihta https://www.heaters4saunas.com/what-is-a-sauna-whisk-vihta-ezp-79.html is an optional extra or even a luxury option these days. I only use them few times a year anymore - once or few times around midsummer & a couple of times between christmas & new year depending on how many I have bothered to freeze in the summer.

@Akka , any news on the new season of Made in Abyss?

Deep thoughts on the way to work this morning: Who has the better lineup of villains, Batman or Spider-Man?

 

[Sofista]

Shallow answer right after returning home: the Bat. Easily.

A novel idea: how about superheroes without supervillains? I think that'd be amazing! They could solve real-world problems and such

Villainless works are harder to write sometimes, but often the best. Like Hergé's The Castafiore Emerald or Miyazaki's My Neighbour Totoro.

and if you think jeff bezos or vladimir putin aren't supervillains i defy you to find somebody who looks more like dr. evil than they two

 

[MaryKB]

Isn't the world just so perfectly beautiful?

Okay, is this a real thing in the UK? Animal-flavored potato chips???

 

[Farm Boy]

Bet it has to do with what they're fried in. I'd try both of those. Lamb and mint, eh? Haven't had fresh mint in a while. Might have to think about actually trying to cook a real Friday dinner when Lent ends.

Yeah, it totally is a thing in the UK. The funny thing is that it used to be that all the animal-flavored crisps were vegan, and the only one that had animal products in was cheese and onion, becuase they used real cheese that had animal derived rennet. It is probably all GM now though.

Prawn coctail was the most disgusting chips flavor I have ever tasted

It's not great, but there's far worse out there. My nomination would be prosecco. Which managed to be even less palatable than Christmas tree flavour.

 

[Farm Boy]

Wasabi popcorn is pretty win.

I don't think I'd have bought pine flavored chips. I'd just get gin for that.

 

[Kyriakos]

Do soy products really lower testosterone?
Because sometimes testosterone can be too high.
