I'm gonna regret this

So, this... dish? Food item? Thing to eat?:

Seems to have a lot of names. And now I'm going to make a poll with a bunch of the names I've heard this dish called.

I am already 100% certain that this will be one of those "OP is about to find out their experience isn't universal" polls.

In fact, what I call this *isn't even listed in the Wikipedia article about this dish*.

I'm starting to believe that it what I call it is a regionalism so narrow in both place and time that the only other people who call it what I call it went to sleepaway camp in the Berkshire Mountains in the early 1980s.

P.S. WHY THE HELL ARE REPLIES RESTRICTED?? I DID NOT SET ANY RESTRICTIONS!

this website’s easy watch. *dangles a bunch of greek gods like keys*

i know what i’m doing dw

Keep in mind I only know like. Two Greek gods by name. Homer is one of them, and he was good friends with Odysseus I think?

Wait fuck Homer isn’t a god he wrote the fucking thing. Fuck

POST CANCELLED NO ONE LOOK

desperately google searching for “greek gods to pray to when people notice your online idiocy”

You're failing.

You don’t think I know that, God of Death? Can I pray to you so I can DIE ALREADY

Pluto is Roman, not Greek

Short version is that Pluto is a later name for the god of death, which is often associated with the Roman era/Roman mythology. Hades is the earlier name.

I set up my own house made of sticks and it has promptly fallen on me

HE’S NOT EVEN REAL?????*

I made this post thinking I knew what kind of fire I was playing with. Hephaestus, God of Fire, looking upon me from his fuck off tower or whatever said “Oh you think you know? Check this shit” and promptly set my post ablaze for everyone to observe

You're basically doing the post equivalent of standing out in a field during a storm with a ten-foot copper pole, you better hope Zeus is busy hiding from Hera.

I’ve once again reached the point in the writing process where I’ve never written anything before I hate myself my whole life is a sham and a hoax I should’ve been an accountant why oh why didn’t I just become an accountant

My dad used to be an actor and he told me that when he got extreme nerves before a performance his coping mechanism consisted of grabbing one of his fellow cast members by the shoulders and dramatically going “I should’ve been an accountant! Why, oh why, didn’t I just become an accountant?!” and then running away

And I’ve tried doing this before when I get feelings like this and yes the other person is usually extremely confused if they’re not used to your bullshit but surprisingly it does do wonders for calming the nerves.

My guess is that you question why you didn’t become an actor

every night owl I know (myself included) is as careful as possible and as quiet as a mouse so not to wake up or disturb people who are asleep while they’re awake but from the moment a morning person wakes up they will make as much noise as possible as if their god given purpose is the be the loudest most inconsiderate person alive

every day i think about this smartypants ep
