"Cis" and "trans" are different types of a person's.... what?

It's not a bad thing, isn't it. I think the goal should be that the whole world is stable enough that no one is worried about their next meal and everyone has the privilege to ruminate about gender.

Some dried fruits are notoriously good for helping bowel movement, though, just be aware.

Saw this question over in r/Reddit: “If you could get one more season of a TV show, what show would it be?” | What show(s) would you choose?
Bojack Horseman. They managed to wrap it up in a neat-ish way, but I do believe that the show would have benefited from having one more season to delve into Bojack's issues with his father (they've covered his mother).

I hope someone will give a meaningful answer, because I'm also wondering about this

Go-to healthy crispy foods/meals?
Here's my favourite salad: Juice two oranges and half a lemon, put in a big bowl. Thinly slice three apples, immediately put the slices in the bowl with the citrus juice. Grate 1 cm of ginger if you like it, mix in. Add in cooked beluga lentils, however much you want. It stays crisp for about three days in a good fridge. I tend to use a mandolin to slice the apples, so they're chip sized - smaller pieces get soggy quicker.
It's also great as a side dish.

This is starting to sound like some BDSM hijinks

Favourite Discworld adaptations
I haven't seen them all, but I told everyone in my circle to please watch The Amazing Maurice. It's a good adaptation, not a great one, but if enough people would go and watch it legally, there's a higher chance more adaptations will come and it could be a win for all.
Please give The Amazing Maurice a chance. He only needs one. Or two.

Which Discworld book do you think is underrated, or isn't shown as much love by fans (as you think it should)?

Is it possibly because I came over from lemmy.world?
I do like The Last Continent! To me, the level of absurd hijinks there is about the same as Going Postal - not my favourite, but it seems to be beloved. There were more posts talking about the exploits of Moist anyway. Now, why is that? Is it the case, that Moist von Lipwig has a lot of vocal fans and Rincewind, our early hero, is not as popular anymore?

Someone compared Pterry's ability to mould language to Shakespeare, if only I remember where I heard or read this comparison.
I have recency bias with The Colour of Magic, reread it fairly recently and it's quite brilliant, although the first 10-15 pages were difficult to get through because they were somehow opaque. So many characters I just met talking to each other and about each other, and it was often unclear to me who or what they were talking about. Then Twoflower arrived and saved it.

Favourite Discworld villain?
Dios. What a dark figure saddled with a dark fate. He's basically cursed to live the same life over and over again, no wonder he's insane. I think the implication is that he created all the Djelibeybian gods, and the reason these gods existed at all were because they were the ones that were always recreated by Dios. His staff of a snake eating its own tail is apt.

"Chisaupepo" by Chef John @ Food Wishes
Classic! Long time Chef John's subscriber here. I was there before his channel and "his brand" was partnered with Allrecipes.com
As to his lilting speech - you're right, it used to be less pronounced, but over time it became part of his brand and it's just so entertaining. I love the cadence, love the "you are after all the (rhyming word) of your (foodstuff)". He has great recipes, perfect for every day meals, this chisaupepo, for example, is in heavy rotation in my household.

But he runs away and towards interesting times and dangerous situations. The most relatable hero, that man. Who wouldn't run away when confronted by the kind of things he run into.

Spot on. It's a good penultimate book.

Maybe they seem to go bad quickly because there's no added preservative :D Having said that, I made this Korean marinade two weeks ago - gochujang, garlic, chili peppers, an apple, soy sauce. I put it in a jar and we haven't been using it as much as we could. I've been expecting it to go bad, ferment, or grow mould for a while, but it's still good. I think it's all the salt acting as preservative? I really don't know.

Radish with a yoghurt dip, yum! That was my friend's child's favourite food when she was 3 and I basically learned to love it from the baby.

It's all the additives to these otherwise quite wholesome ingredients that make them less healthy and not as nutritionally dense as they should be. McDonald's burgers are not JUST meat, bread, and some veggies unfortunately.

That doesn't stop you from pooping though. Oh no... I'm too new to Lemmy for this to be one of my first comments...

Oh yes, his recipes are good. They're not flashy, but they're usually perfect for my pantry. I'm also happy he's now ventured into using East Asian and SE Asian ingredients, like miso and fish sauce.
