people who for very silly reasons want to market prepared food products without preservatives in them who then discover why we started putting preservatives in prepared food products in the first place (because without a preservation method food quickly grows stale, and frequently also moldy or downright toxic) is a consistently good bit. like people really seem to think we put Evil Chemicals in food on purpose for no reason.

I used to work at a wholesale bakery that specialized in "clean label" products and this was my pet peeve. A company would want our products because they didn't have preservatives, but then there were many versions of the following conversation:

"This bread is moldy in 5 days!"

  • Yeah, it doesn't have any preservatives. That'll happen.

"But the other company's bread lasted for 15 days without mold."

  • Right. They put calpro in it, which inhibits mold. You wanted bread without calpro, so it's going to get moldy faster.

"Well, it has to be preservative free! But we want it to still last 15 days."

Just saw a post about a TikTok where a girlie told her audience to heat up their raw milk for a bit to make it last longer and I

Yes. That's pasteurization. Good job on discovering that it makes your milk safer and stay good for longer

Now stop buying overpriced raw shit tsht night kill you

All you need in life is a color picker willing to expose you to the unbounded madness we call color vision.

me, absolutely clueless: "I want a color just like this one, but in red" color picker: Fuck you think you are, a Mantis Shrimp? Don't talk to me again until you can afford a wide gamut monitor.

what is even happening here 😨 wheres the circle with the triangle inside we all know and love..

The circle and triangle are a lie we tell ourselves to cope with the ugly reality... Now this-- this is the real deal!

In seriousness, this is oklch.com, a color picker for the OKLCH color model.

There are whole several hour lectures one could take in color science and theory, but to keep it short: the set of colors we can see, the set of colors monitors can display, and the set of colors computers can model are three circles that only somewhat overlap.

In this case, if I wanted this color

but in red, I could just go of Photoshop and move over the hue slider, getting this as a result:

Which is.. acceptable, but not as "bright" and "vibrant" as the green I had. Looking at the graphs in the OKLCH color picker, we can figure out why:

It tells us that a red with the same luminosity and chroma as this green is out of gamut—that is, it cannot be displayed by this monitor.

In this case, you can use the edges of the graph to find the color that is closest to what you want. You can, for example, keep the chroma but sacrifice lightness,

keep the lightness but drop the chroma,

or a bit of both, which is what the common HSV triangles already do.

But I like to know when it happens, y'know?

laios- "im alienation from manhood and from my body"

falin- "im womanhood thats simultaneously eroticized and condemned as monstrous"

help out a trans woman in need

hi everyone, i'm a disabled, chronically ill and as of this week, unemployed trans woman from south america, and i live with a mother undergoing cancer treatment. things have taken a turn for the worse lately as i got laid off from my two jobs and my house's electrical wiring started shorting every day on top of struggling to help my mom with her treatment.

i know i'm asking a lot and it always fills me with shame but i need to ask for help yet again to cover the repair bills and expenses related to my mom's treatment. if there's anything you can spare, even a reblog, i would be immensely grateful to you all
