There are no viewable profiles with pictures etc., just nicknames users pick for themselves in private chatrooms/forums. Most use their real first names. I can in fact give them nicknames for my own convenience, which I plan to, but to do that I first need to recognize which one is which.

I thought about it and I do have an inkling based on their use of slang in their messages, so I made an educated guess, but I guess I'll have to meet with each in real life to confirm.

[Loud Whispers]

Belgium why

I tried to warn you

it keeps habbeding

Well then, apparently the margarine/spread I use instead of butter is not good for cooking with. I put some in a pan to fry a vege burger and minutes later smoke was billowing out of it and the inside of the pan was coated black. Shame we don't have any pot scourers... I guess I'll have to buy some and clean it up tomorrow.

In related news, fried vege burgers taste awful anyway.
After all that hardship I find I should have just stuck to baking them.

[Shadowlord]

You know that stuff is actually worse for you than actual butter~

[Bouchart]

I can't believe it's not butter.

[Amperzand]

It's sort of like how diet soda is horribly carcinogenic and actually less healthy than a can of sugar water.

[Putnam]

yeah, giving rats WAY more dosage than a human would get and seeing cancer sure is indicative of stuff

AKA

diet soda ain't carcinogetic, that's sensationalist bunk AFAIK

Belgium why

...This sounds really cool, as long as it was in downtime and all consensual obviously.

why would you think that?

it's not particularly healthy, but that's more to do with the way it tricks your pancreas (sweet taste -> insulin release -> no sugar wat do -> you get hungrier and generally feel bad as blood sugar drops) than to do with carcinogenicity

[Amperzand]

Certainly it isn't good for you, though I don't really know enough about it beyond reading some articles to argue the point.

Besides, I doubt I could drink enough soda to significantly impact my chances of cancer, given where I live.

It was doing a lockdown operation to prevent terrorist attacks, inside the police station.
...I guess that does make it a little extra exciting, but c'mom now :v

I find vegetable oil to be the best stuff to grease a pan. It's not too unhealthy, and is inexpensive since it's sold in fuckhueg bottles for the price of a butter stick, and one only needs a few drops at a time.

It still tastes like ass-flavored poison though.

Yeah. I use butter (well, margarine but my family's fastidious about using the baking kind. The water-based spreading kind may or may not be accursed) for flavouring and sometimes for a roux, but never for normal frying.

[Orange Wizard]

I keep a thing of margarine for spreading on toast etc. and a thing of butter for cooking with. I would never use one for the other's purpose - that would be folly.
