Black masks and white masks have replaced the black hats and white hats of the old west.

I was gonna say we can make you some instead, but I realized I don't actually know any savory vegan breakfast foods that you cook in a pan like that

If you were to pick some things to have prepared for you in this context for breakfast what would you choose? Does seitan or tempeh fry up crispy and work well in this sort of context? I guess there are always egg substitutes but I don't really know much about them or how well they work

What kinda breakfast food would you wanna be offered? :)

[-] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Tofu scramble, baked beans, English breakfast but with vegan sausages or bacon, kimchi pancakes, pancakes/crepes, besan pancakes, lentil omlettes, hash, kartofelpuffer, douhua, curdled soymilk porridge, French toast etc

The sky's the limit. You basically just make breakfast but whenever you would add a body part or something appropriated from someone you just don't, and you use a substitution from a plant. Like you can use soymilk in place of cow's milk, alternative binders to egg like hydrocolloids/psyllium husk/flours and starches, seasoned tofu, tvp or seitan and so in.

Holy shit this is fantastic.

I've seen similar posts before with like dark souls bonfires or cutesy photos or cozy fantasy stuff, but this? This is art. It's so visceral, so raw, it's positively dripping with the juices of a reality most people only dream of and yet completely and totally exists in this world. It slaps you upside the head and locks eyes with you, snapping you instantly out of whatever funk, demanding your attention and ordering you to double check your eyes. Yes that is a shotgun, yes they are gesturing to you specifically, and no it isn't a gameplay screenshot or weird meta post or even a meme. There are no filters or edits on this. It's real, realer than most things are on the internet. Someone got dressed, brought their rifle, and took a photo out in the wilderness. That fire? Real. That breakfast? Real. That person probably ate it. Shit, they might have literally shared it with someone. That someone could be you. Not in a "imagine you're in this fictional setting" way but in a "if things were different I could genuinely, actually, be there, in the snowy wood" way, a way that drags you hand and foot into the imagination, into wondering what it's like, to be there. The gentle, non-threatening invitation is starkly contrasted by the weapon in hand, a clear reminder of the possibility and reality of violence, and yet you somehow just know that no harm would ever come to you here. They've accepted you, just as you are, and all that's left is to accept their invitation. Warm eggs. Bacon. Coffee. A simple fire, a real one, not one for show or aesthetics but built for function and warmth. And probably the best conversation you'll ever have in your life.

This is one of the best comments I've read on lemmy in a while. I hope you don't mind that I shared it on !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world; I think it certainly deserves a post there.

[-] mystrawberrymind@piefed.ca 2 points 15 hours ago

Read the username and was not surprised👏👏👏 Actually I have you tagged as the WritingPrompts guy😊

[-] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Oh wow, that's... I had no idea people recognized me on here. That's news to me.

[-] aketawi@quokk.au 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

probably the most heartfelt comment I've seen on Lemmy, thank you for posting that

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

I hate that I felt like it was AI while reading it. :(

[-] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

That is actually very disheartening to hear since writing is like the one thing I'm moderately ok at

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Yea, to be clear I really liked the writing. So please don't feel bad about that! It's more the innate sense of suspicion the internet has given me has now made me think that while I read most anything of interest, and I really can't stand that as I enjoy writing as well.

[-] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 9 points 1 day ago

Lol, I'm so glad you enjoyed it

I saw it on fetlife of all places (which confuses me cause like who in their right mind scrolls for so long on fetlife that you need a break. Fetlife is for seeing my friends naked and hearing they're doing well and then closing, not endless scrolling), and thought to myself fedi folks would enjoy it :)

[-] balsoft@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Honestly, I've been in that exact situation (sans shotgun). BBQ on a campfire in the middle of a snowy forest, shared with a comrade. T'was nice. This post very much brings back good memories. I wonder if I'll ever have an experience like that again, given how far away I am from snowy forests now.

[-] catboat@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Not bad, some pretty good stuff you got there.

** sees only one egg * (ahh shit i'm other egg aren't i?)

[-] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 3 points 1 day ago

😏 If youre willing to come out of your shell we can uhhhh.... Fry you up nice and cripsy? Leave your yolk runny and season you with salt and pepper?

I'm not sure extending the metaphor works so good... 😶

[-] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 day ago

I read that in "life of boris" accent

Think there's beer on the sun?

[-] Aremel@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

So is that a stupid name or....?

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

I see eggs and fish, but where are the beans??

[-] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You gotta save the coup de gras for last, the beans are for dessert 😌

[-] BoosBeau@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

This is what cultured looks like, people.

[-] tomiant@piefed.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.
