Boneless wings are nuggets.

I don't see the problem here

[-] dipcart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I know that everybody already knows this which is why its not even really mentioned but "gender pronouns"??? And that's right below his incredibly cool username. I just hate how these motherfuckers can't stand people who can't speak English but they don't even know what pronouns are.

[-] Rooskie91@discuss.online 6 points 1 day ago

I feel like if you have to tell people you're an alpha male, you're probably not one.

It starts with one, one thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to explain in due time…

Man why do conservatives make communism sounds so cool?

[-] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago

Two reasons:

  1. Reactionaries are ontologically evil and anything that makes them cry is automatically cool and good

  2. Communism is cool

I wish this guy would come out of the closet and admit he's a satirist. His stuff is funny as hell when viewed from an angle. He's probably doing his best to stay in character. Gotta keep the people wondering if there really are people that unbelievably stupid.

[-] OmgItBurns@discuss.online 15 points 2 days ago

Wait, what's the issue with boneless wings?

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

They’re just white meat chicken nuggets dipped in sauce! They’re not even made with chicken wing meat!

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day ago

If you don't remove the bones with your teeth, it makes you weak. /s

Soap box time:

FUCK BONE IN WINGS

It's such copium to go "mm yes give me bones in my tiny pieces of meat! I love paying for sauce and skin and bone!"

Call me whatever you want, call boneless wings nuggets or strips or tendies, whatever. If you want chicken with bones in it, go for something with an actual amount of meat or fun factor to it. When I get a drumstick, I feel like a medieval king enjoying the jesters on my screen as I snap a bite off and grow closer to dying from gout.

If I am paying my hard earned cash for meat and sauce, I want the meat and sauce, not sauce and bones that take up 50% of my meal and go into the trash can when I'm done. I get there's an appear to "sucking the sauce off the bone", I love a good rack of ribs as much as the next Joe Six-Pack, but I want the bones to be able to suckable, and not "this could get lost in my teeth if I'm not careful enough."

Maybe I've never had a good set of bone in wings from local or chain places, but I would much rather buy some tendies and dunk that shit in some generic sauce than eat wings.

It's 1:19 AM as I write this before I pass out, I wanted to get this out in a humorous way, and I hope someone else enjoys it in this shit time we're all in. Goodnight.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

This is my issue with ribs. Ribs are like 95% bone. What the fuck ribs??

I do love a bone in chicken though.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

No, I won't allow this biased shift in language.

You're referring to WINGS sir. There are no "bone-in" wings, that's just wings.

Enjoy your chicken nuggets, and I mean that, they're delicious, but they're not wings.

Wings have bones.

Boneless nuggets do not have bones.

[-] exasperation@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

If you want chicken with bones in it, go for something with an actual amount of meat or fun factor to it.

Your whole mistake is assuming that meat is why people eat wings.

No, to paraphrase Dennis Reynolds, there's no denying that the skins are the most fascinating part. Bone in wings have the highest ratio of skin out of any cut, and are therefore the most delicious.

And yes, I sometimes take chicken skin off of thighs and breasts to just fry them as some kind of chicharrones.

The issues with this:

  1. Boneless wings are not made of the dark meat from wings and are inherently a different product altogether. They are made from dry, relatively flavorless breast meat that needs a lot of help. There are good reasons why the more expensive a restaurant is, the less likely that any kind of chicken meat they serve will be breast meat.
  2. The entire idea here is flavor, not quantity (though I weekly order great all you can eat wings while playing D&D for cheaper than a big mac). The marrow adds a lot of flavor.

I'd guess that you have only ever had absolutely sub par wings. A lot of places will serve wings at the culinary level of Hooters - soggy, over cooked slop.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 5 points 2 days ago

Right; before wings became a thing unto themselves, they were stuck in soup because they add a lot of flavor. A combination of dark meat and bones is why, plus the fact that they were cheap because nobody had a better idea for using them at the time.

Chicken breast is like an empty canvas. They're a chunk of protein that you add your own flavors into. I find that appealing from a cooking point of view, but yeah, it comes out bland most of the time for a reason.

Bones add a ton of flavor. Boneless “wings” aren’t as great

[-] TotalFat@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Wings are dark meat though! Sounds woke!

/s

[-] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

My dating history will confirm I have no issues putting dark meat in my mouth.

Wait until you see the meat to bone ratio of frogs legs.

[-] GroupNebula563@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

"gender pronouns" has the same energy as some old man on a rocking chair on his front porch saying "you know… one of those cellular-type phones"

[-] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 69 points 3 days ago

Call them what they are: chicken nuggets

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Ah yes, the 'nuggies' to 'egg' pipeline.

Linguistically odd how that works out.

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago

Boneless wings are more like tendies than nuggies

[-] kiku@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago

No, boneless wings are legally distinct, because they are allowed to have bones in them. There's apparently no rational basis for people to believe there are no bones in boneless wings.

Chicken nuggets can't have bones in them. So they are different things entirely.

See also: synthetic oil. It was argued in court that "synthetic" meant a certain level of quality, rather than being an actual synthetic product. They got the judge to agree.

Synthetic oil is still generally better for your car than the regular stuff, but it's still mostly stuff pulled out of the ground.

What I'm hearing is I really need to start playing fortnite.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 50 points 3 days ago

if you put "(alpha male)" in your display name you're a beta cuck. this isn't even about that alphas/betas/sigmas exist. they don't. they only exist to the people who care about those designations. and by caring about them you make them real to you, meaning in your own world view you are a beta cuck

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I wonder if you could explain pronouns to them this way. Like, we all see them as a cuck but they feel like an alpha, so isn't it fucking rude that we keep calling them cuck?

(This is not a serious comparison and everyone should respect pronouns. Regardless, both are societally created categories, one just carries a fuck of a lot more weight than the other.)

[-] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

What if Nick Adams (Alpha Male) is just really into omegaverse fics and wants to fertilise a harem of omegas in heat?

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 43 points 3 days ago

alpha male? hope is a satire account

[-] Speiser0@feddit.org 16 points 3 days ago

I think this is some kind of furry thing.

[-] Hope@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

Unfortunately I don't think he is satire. He's probably trying to get outrage reactions, though.

The College Republicans club at my alma mater actually invited him to speak on campus.

Since gender pronouns are so so dangerous, how about we call everyone they/them?

[-] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

How about just eliminate pronouns altogether. Don't see any reason are such an essential part of language. Just don't use pronouns at all. Why can't all just agree to? 's not like are even nessecary.

edit: missed one

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

It came from a time when a sentence about a man had more importance than one about a woman. It is based in sexism.

There is no reason to still use it. Just like there is no reason every object need to have a gender like in French and Spanish.

At what stage are the meatless wings?

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

I read that to the beat of In the End by Linkin Park

Replace communism with anarchism and I think this describes my late teens early 20s quite well lol.

[-] Fontasia@feddit.nl 13 points 3 days ago

It starts with a woman using a word you don't understand, it ends with knowing that the president will listen to your tweet, he didn't mean to impact you, surely?

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I wish I had the ass and legs of gender pronoun person. If I have to eat boneless wings to get there I will.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
