  • But then you'd still have a googled phone.

  • There are Google-free Android ROMs

  • What a coincidence. I saw Serious Sam on sale earlier today.

  • Achso. Ja, das stimmt. Ich hatte das englische "funny numbers" im Kopf

  • Und 42 im Kontext einer deutschen Community könnte auch für Deutsche Bahn stehen ¯(ツ)/¯

  • Oh we're throwing wikipedia articles now? Well, it's a german thing, so let's look into the german article that says "bread shaped cake".
    I don't know who fucked up the english article, but it's cake.
    Greetings from Germany, where we are most serious about bread and cake.

  • No. Cram is described as dense and biscuit-like, Stollen is a fluffy but heavy yeast cake with raisins and powdered sugar.

  • Are you looking for something that looks and tastes like elvish bread could look and taste like or are you looking for a super filling and nutritious bread? Or a movie accurate version?

    For the former, I don't know what you imagine. Look for a bread recipe you envision as elvish and play around with it, adding spices.
    For the latter, german Pumpernickel is the go-to bread.
    For a movie-like lembas, go for shortbread

  • Stollen is cake, not bread!

    But I agree, the movie version was more what I imagined cram would be.

  • Edit: It looks like this study is just self-reporting on how people feel about different breeds?

    It is, but the statement I cited is not a conclusion of this study but a reason why the study was conducted. The study itself wants to learn how strong the bias is that leads to these stereotypes, because one of the issues of gathering data is bias. Basically, people buy certain breeds expecting a certain behavior and then train these breeds to express said behavior, which makes it difficult to examine whether said behavior is due to the nature or nurtured or how big a role either plays.

  • Yes, it is based on this.

    Dog breed stereotypes are frequently used to inform people’s expectations about canine behavior, despite evidence that breed is largely uninformative in predicting individual dog behavior.

  • I wouldn't say we don't want pets per se. Some of us do but the difference is trying to find the most ethical way of obtaining and taking care of them.

  • "Nature vs nurture" is an old debate that has not yet been concluded and data is hard to obtain. But it seems at the moment that how you training and upbringing has more impact on how an animal develops.

    Also, i was more speaking ofphysical traits like a flat back for shepards or stubby noses for pugs etc. Generally, "purebred" pets are far more prone to develop detrimental traits and illnesses, i don't see it worth the risk and more like torture than anything else.

  • Well, my family's dog when I was young was a rescue dog, no purebred (should be illegal anyway) or "targeted mix". Tbh, no one ever knew exactly which breeds she was from, and I will probably never understand why people are so fixated on this shit.

  • Most people I know adopt from rescue shelters and all the vegans I know do that, often even focusing on pets that are somewhat "disadvantaged" regarding getting adopted, i.e. disabled or chronically ill animals. They go to an animal shelter not primarily with the wish of having a pet but providing a better life for an animal (because let's face it, even the best-intentioned shelters are understaffed and underfunded).

  • I personally like emblems, icons and heraldry on flags. Without them, flags are often enough just bars of colors.
