It's worth noting that there are naturally occurring "black" olives, but they tend to have a sort of purple hue, there are also sun dried black olives that are kind of wrinkly.

But those ink black ones you get on pizzas? Nah.

Fun fact: "Black olives, though labeled as “ripe” on supermarket cans, actually aren’t: these, a California invention, are green olives that have been cured in an alkaline solution, and then treated with oxygen and an iron compound (ferrous gluconate) that turns their skins a shiny patent-leather black."

R34 is also short for rule 34 - "if it exists, there's porn of it on the internet"

So if you search R34 and anything, you'll get porn.

Loving how the AT-STs and bombers are all pointing one way and the troopers are pointing a completely different way.

They're talking about pulling it open as in the pic, which makes it get cold, let's all the goodness fall out and ruins the dippiness imo.

But you do you, I'm not your abuella.

It's a birria taco but your point still stands.

I'd be pretty surprised if this didn't have something to do with the Great Green Wall project, even if it's a knock on effect of that work.

It's a reference to a film called The Thing.

If you think this contains spoilers lmk, I listened to it early on and didn't feel that way but I'm happy to take this down if we feel otherwise.

 

What kind of threshold should a vote have to pass before being implemented? Do we really want to be making changes based on a vote that only got one "Aye"? Ten Ayes? Over 50% of the user base?

What kind of vote engagement can we reasonably expect to achieve? Is it actually likely that 50% of the user base will engage with any particular vote? Are there any useful presidents out there?

Who should be responsible for counting the votes when they're over? Perhaps the OP tallies the votes and edits the post?

Is there an easy test the mods can apply to a tallied vote to allow them to check whether it's passed? Something that is not open to interpretation and results in a clear directive to make a change?

I'm also kind of testing out this discussion format as a way of generating things to vote on i.e DISCUSSION > POLL > VOTE seems to make sense.

We'll see :)
