For screenshots of humorous, clean, nonpolitical social media posts. This primarily implies Twitter, but Facebook, Tumblr, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, etc. are allowed too. It should be primarily text-based though.

Rules
  1. Again, no politics.
  2. No Lemmy posts. You're already on a Lemmy instance. There's no need to screenshot it and post it here.
  3. No Reddit posts. That's too similar to Lemmy.
  4. The joke must be text. Images can be included in the screenshot, but only as needed context.
  5. Use correct cropping. Don't have a mile of whitespace or show extraneous UI, but don't crop out the date or author.
  6. No doxxing. Again, don't crop out the author's name as he or she has chosen to share it, but definitely do not share extra information which may be personally identifiable or libelous.

And dirty my only bowl with something that's already in a bowl like vessel that could be easily improved on to resolve the issue entirely?

No.

Plenty of dip correctly comes in wide containers. If people want to pour their salsa in/on to stuff, they can pay extra for tall jars with all this bowl money they apparently have.

It is not a single use container, you are contaminating the salsa.

If you don't want to dirty a bowl then pour the salsa ONTO the chip over the sink, like a real and proper NEET and sob in the corner over how bankrupt your life has become

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Eating directly from the container will make it go moldy faster, even if you don't double-dip. It's more sanitary to pour it into a bowl unless you're gonna eat the whole thing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah and the salsa can get stuck on the inner walls after pouring, unable to be scraped with a nacho thanks to the narrow opening.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This actually already exists! though the flavor is 'agar'

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But bonus: you can grow stuff on it that makes your dip taste funny and make you see god.

Those are my favorite kind of salsas.

Nope didn't work I just got killed of this disease that I had, and now I have to go back to work, zero out of 10

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or just pour the salsa in a bowl instead of eating it directly out of the packaging.

Why is it ok for hummus but not salsa?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If you can pour it, it's not hummus.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (4 children)

First off, that's subjective, secondly, it's irrelevant. I was talking about the shape of hummus containers vs salsa jars.

True that's why no one has invented spoons yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It still gets stuck in the threading for the lid though.

Personally I think it should come in a bottle.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Finally, someone asking the important questions.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You should scoop the hummus into a separate bowl

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

You should freeze the hummus into little spheres and insert them into your anal cavity one by one and then shove one of those great big pretzel sticks up there

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not ok for hummus either!?

HAVEN'T ANY OF YOU HEARD OF CROSS-CONTAMINATION!?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (12 children)

That's only an issue if you're contaminated. I try not to have raw meat or literal shit on my hands when I eat finger food.

Salsa mixes after the fact, leading to a way higher risk of bacteria growth.

Full disclosure, I totally made that up, but it kinda makes sense to me 🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Actual fun fact: Most brands of salsa have an acid content high enough to deter bacteria. Tostito's salsa varieties are NOT among them and cross contaminate ridiculously easily.

Relevant anecdote: So once I had to get my stomach pumped because of some cross-contaminated Tostito's hot salsa.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Gotta upvote that straight admission of rear end information

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

After what fact?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Factoid bundled into worldview . . . . . . . Confirmed

Pizzagate was real (y/n)?_

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Several stores around me sell fresh varieties of salsa in those flat wide containers, essentially the same shape as I usually buy hummus in. You have to eat it within 5 or 6 days or it starts to go bad, but that is not a problem because you can eat right out of the container.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I've never seen a tall salsa. Only flat and wide

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That is-...why?!

All of ours are no taller than this.

There might be tall ones for like tacos and stuff, I dunno.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They need to be taller to fit in the high fructose corn syrup duh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

No they should be fatter from all the high fructose corn syrup. Just like me

Who cares about the hinterlands?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Tostito's salsa sold in the chip aisle, on those FUCKDAMN shirt catching shelf front cages.

Also Pace, when it is not sold in a squeeze bottle

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

The salsa I get is good for dipping, and I do like not dirtying a bowl if goal is a quick few chips between meals and not some big event. I think in a shorter, wider container it's because it's the type you buy already cooled, and it isn't jarred. Seems... fresher?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

As long as the salsa isn't made in New York City.
