Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

I’m not going to eat a fucking hot dog, I don’t care how much everyone else pretends to enjoy them, they’re a crime against food and decency.

Eating a hot dog on a Friday violates all major religions' rules on food.
Islam: No pork
Hinduism: No beef
Buddhism: No meat
Catholicism: No meat on Fridays
Discordianism: No hot dogs

Plenty of Buddhists eat meat. Often

[–] mech@feddit.org 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

And plenty of Catholics eat meat on Fridays.

I think they did away with that rule lol. Plenty of Hindus love cheeseburgers.

I tell ya you're not missing much.

I’ve had hot dogs, I know what I’m missing and I do not miss it.

Are you not dismissing every other type of sausage, or did just not consider them? Because if this is about lips & assholes, almost all of them are all lips & assholes.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

It’s not so much lips and assholes, I know far too much about processed foods to be bothered by that, it’s the taste of a hot dog. They don’t taste like meat, they don’t taste like food, they taste specifically and mercilessly of hot dog. I’m not opposed to a good sausage, but most sausages aren’t good because for some reason almost all of them have to have fucking fennel seeds in them.
