Nonpolitical Twitter

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.
  7. Link to the original post either in the body or in a comment.

We are obviously not affiliated with Twitter in any way.

200? That wasn't very top end. Entry tier niceish knives, in a set.

But folks, never waste time and money on a set like that.

Find individual knives in your budget. A chef knife, in the the 8-10 inch range. A paring knife.

The third slot has options. Either a bread knife, serrated; or a petty/utility knife which could be serrated as well. I err on the side of a bread knife for most use cases because you can get them with scalloped serrations rather than more aggressive teeth. Which makes them better for slicing overall.

However, a decently sharp knife of any type can slice well enough, so sometimes it's better to have that mid sized utility knife instead. Serrations are typically optional in kitchen knives. There's very few applications where srrations are better to begin with. They're just easier in a few niche uses, so having one knife around that is makes a little sense.

That's all most people will ever need.

Yeah, you can expand on that if you want to, or do tasks where a different size or a specialty knife is going to improve your workflow, but it isn't necessary.

I've found that serrations are really only useful for stuff like bread, or other baked products (brownies, pies, etc)

Agreed. Like, very occasionally, something slippery like a tendon might benefit from it, but it's mostly like you said, baked goods

Now, some of that is personal preference. I know folks that line the texture given my scalloped serrations over a plain edge when slicing meats.
