What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out? (lemmy.world)

Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one's ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I've never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don't know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can't you get people into and why should we check it out?

Death, Black Metal, Punk - heavy music is a channel for heavy emotions.

Open source, privacy, federation - Don't give up power over technology that interacts with you

Rope bondage, kinks - Bodies, minds are interesting when reacting

Squishing toasted bread before topping it - Un-squished toasted bread gets annoying edges very fast when drying

Squishing toasted bread? Like, flattening it more?

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I imagine they've got a toast mallet.

No, no. It is very important that the toast gets squished evenly, so it would need to be a spatula.

I can sort of see it, I guess. Never tried it with toast, but it's my go-to for a grilled cheese sandwich.

I do get a joy out of the flatness of a good grilled cheese. Getting a good toast on the edge and pushing it down while its on the grill to flatten it.
