Same energy, equally as thoughtful, and both very nice gestures.

He'd obviously read up on 17th century witchcraft. It is well known that you may fascinate a woman by giving her a piece of cheese.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 19 points 5 days ago

it's a 17 century text, the main question is why did it take humanity so long to figure it out

I do dirty things for cheese.

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 32 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That guy clearly knows what a woman desires.

I have it on good authority that you may fascinate a woman by giving her cheese.

Although it looks like I'm two hours late on that reference...

According to internet lore, the man must reciprocate with a wheel of cheese.

How is this a meme

It's just a pleasant interaction

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Wait. Are memes just peasant interactions?

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, they're moments in culture. What makes this meme less is the fact that most ppl haven't received veg. from a home grown garden.

The real memes are the pleasant interactions we had along the way.

I believe the correct thing to do is bring her some cheese. The nice stuff. Either a nicely aged cheddar or bocconcini. Add a potted basil plant to signal intent for a lasting relationship. T never fails

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

That's my fucking love language

[–] Portosian@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 days ago

I dont know if you're a man, a woman, or somewhere in between; but if you gave me an aged cheddar and a potted basil I would never let you go.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 21 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Even just the fact that she has a garden is enough for me to consider marriage.

[–] towelie@lemm.ee 18 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

oh how the tables have turned

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Andrew Johnson supporter, so the 19th century version of a MAGA.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

nothing more marriage material than a dude who believes in:

  • a man
  • a flag
  • a holiday

wow where are people with such deep philosophical beliefs now

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Any idea what a "waterfall" is in this context?

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 6 points 5 days ago

A waterfall is a type of cardigan.

Mine gave me eggs from her chickens. This is the moment you realize you've won the lottery.

There are some sweet people in the world.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Just a heads-up, those are sauce tomatoes. Thanks, Ted talk, etc

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Fry the oinions with some garlic (salt it), cube the tomatoes and let it simmer for an hour or two and you got the worlds best pasta sauce.

I wonder what dating is like when you have so much money that you already have a garden. When I met my partner we both lived in shared houses.

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 9 points 5 days ago (3 children)

You can grow a really nice garden on a balcony or in windows. Tomatoes, cucumber and chili's are great to start with and then just experiment

People who are actually rich don't have food gardens, they have flower gardens at best. A roommate of mine had a (very bad) garden when I lived with him, and my now-wife had a small herb garden in an apartment. You can definitely have food gardens in shared houses

[–] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I briefly stayed at a multi-millionaire's place. They did have a herb garden. Nice planters and automated watering systems. All provided and maintained by the groundskeeping company, of course. I sincerely doubt they ever planted anything, they just grabbed herbs when they needed them and instructed people what herbs they wanted.

I imagine richer people might similarly have food gardens maintained by waitstaff. Maybe not around their primary residence, but what if the desire to cosplay as or claim to be a farmer or plantation owner strikes them?

Unless you're from very rural area - then you should kinda have the garden by default.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 8 points 5 days ago (3 children)

My two least favorite things individually, yet essential to so many delicious things.

I would immediately use them to make some food and bring it over.

those look like some amazing vegetables, I don't know much about growing vegetables but I imagine getting them grown like this must take some effort or skill/knowledge

[–] Bob_Robertson_IX@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The hardest thing I've found with gardening is being able to actually eat everything that gets produced. Either I don't get to it in time, or too much gets produced, or my life just gets so busy that I don't have time to cook sometime. The actual growing kinda just takes care of itself in my garden.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Fucking zucchinis. I went from building a fence to protect them from the groundhogs to stacking them like firewood in front of the groundhog's den.
