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
- Again, no politics.
- No Lemmy posts. You're already on a Lemmy instance. There's no need to screenshot it and post it here.
- No Reddit posts. That's too similar to Lemmy.
- The joke must be text. Images can be included in the screenshot, but only as needed context.
- Use correct cropping. Don't have a mile of whitespace or show extraneous UI, but don't crop out the date or author.
- 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.
- Link to the original post either in the body or in a comment.
We are obviously not affiliated with Twitter in any way.

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?
If you can pour it, it's not hummus.
First off, that's subjective, secondly, it's irrelevant. I was talking about the shape of hummus containers vs salsa jars.
I don't know what hummus you have but I've never seen it sold in a glass jar, it's always in a little plastic container and therefore deformable.
Idk what "deformability" has to do what the any of this, but to the first point, yeah I know, that's exactly what I'm saying. Hummus gets sold in flat, chode-like cylinders specifically for dipping efficiency, salsa companies could do the same. In fact, some do, but I've only ever seen it for very "fresh" salsas. I suppose sealing/canning is the major issue, but I'm sure you could engineer around that.
It's to do with refrigeration salsa needs to be refrigerated hummus doesn't. Refrigerated and I think you're supposed to once open but it can be stored just out in the open.
The reason that it being deformable is important is it means you can easily get the hummus out of the jar it doesn't get stuck on anything because you just squish the tub. That isn't possible with salsa though because it has to be in a glass jar for refrigeration purposes.
Hummus is absolutely not shelf-stable, before or after opening, that's why they keep it in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. And the tubs are not deformable, at least not here in America. Salsa is shelf-stable before opening because it's canned in glass jars. What are you on about?
True that's why no one has invented spoons yet.
It still gets stuck in the threading for the lid though.
Personally I think it should come in a bottle.
Finally, someone asking the important questions.
You should scoop the hummus into a separate bowl
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
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 🤷♂️
Gotta upvote that straight admission of rear end information
After what fact?
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.
Factoid bundled into worldview . . . . . . . Confirmed
Pizzagate was real (y/n)?_
