might as well get some use from this throwaway.
How many Ohioans know that "ohio" is how you say good morning in Japanese? How does it feel to live in Goodmorning? Are the mornings there good?
it's not a topic that comes up in conversation often, so i couldn't give an exact figure. it doesn't feel great to live in goodmorning because it is ohio. the mornings are variable and sometimes quite pleasant until you realize you're in ohio.
In one of the Haudenosaunee dialects it means something along the lines of "reflects the sun". So there's that.
very few. we get bombarded with propaganda the hardest (other than florida) during presidential elections and it has to cause at least some brainrot.
Am I wrong for quite liking Cincinnati? Has the Bay Area broken my brain?
i'd say of the big 3 c's, cincy is my favorite. at least they're willing to piss the rest of the world off with their chili.
I went to san francisco once in 2011
it was summer but 60F every dayI wonder when exactly the homelessness problem accelerated, it was sort of visible then but I'm sure it's much worse now
How hot does your couch have to be before you can get an Ohio green card?
not overly hot as to be intolerable, but just hot enough to cause a mild sense of unease.
I was going to ask you about a nice bakery that I found while driving through there once, but then I realized that was Iowa not Ohio lol
What do you do if you're stuck in Ohio and your only option for escape is Indiana
a classic lose-lose. philosophers have debated this scenario for centuries and they will continue for centuries more.
:inshallah-script: there will be neither Ohio nor Indiana, nor any memory of either place, in the centuries to come
is indianapolis a city? I thought it was just a series of highways with a couple of buildings next to them
i struggle to refer to columbus as an "actual city". it's like if you asked a focus group that had only read the dictionary definition of "city" questions about how to construct a new one and then followed their answers to the letter.
if phoenix is an affront to god, then god had to create an affront to humanity. we have decided to call it "ohio".
many have pondered this question from the very beginning. it feels like everyone has their own answers. my guess is that it was one of the first "frontiers" of the fledgling united states (aka it was one of the first territories where the federal government gave support to take the land from indigenous populations), the state is descended from the sickos that wanted to be settlers, but were too lazy to uproot themselves and move further west. after a couple hundred years, it turned into the hell we know it as.
Is it true that if America were a person, and it sat down, Columbus, Ohio would instantly be plunged into darkness?
Sounds like somebody doesn't realize they're the butt of the joke
Any communes, urban radical scenes, punk scenes, or permaculture projects worth knowing about?
none that i'm aware of that are at a scale to be super notable. i'm somewhat optimistic towards part of the radical scene in my locale for biased reasons, but if my state necessitated a throwaway, i'm sure as hell not naming the city i live in or the orgs i'm involved with lol.
I'm nowhere nearby but Cleveland has been known to have a good punk scene for just about ever
Have you been to the serpent mounds and if so how dope is it on a scale of pretty dope to extremely dope?
forget if I've been to the serpent mounds specifically, but all of the mounds are extremely fucking dope.
I have been there and can confirm it is infact 'extremely dope'
it's an evolution of a greek meat sauce that was called chili for some reason. it's primarily a vehicle to shovel carbs and cheese down your gullet. in defense of the chili itself, the spice blend is one of the core components of the whole shebang and is lowkey fucking heavenly.
in addition to what's already been said, most grocery stores carry "cincinnati chili" seasoning packets and it's easy to make a batch with beans instead of beef.
I like to make it out of lentils, when they're right on the verge of overcooked the texture comes out similar to restaurant beef chilis
i believe gold star (the shittier version of skyline for non-ohioans) has beans in their vegetarian chili
i have seen gold stars in ohio but i have no idea how they compete against skyline lol.
No, but any place that sells it will also have kidney beans available.
The popular style is called a 5-Way: spaghetti topped with chili, kidney beans, chopped onions, and shredded cheddar
Columbus was cool but Cleveland is probably the worst city I've been to
agree about cleveland but disagree about columbus. columbus is a cursed nothing of a metropolis.
