How Tortillas Lost Their Magic

They have a good point. I did research into cornbread for a project and it's suffered from the same issue as tortillas. Most cornmeal that you buy in the store nowadays tastes like sawdust and has to be enriched with a bunch of stuff to make it preserve longer. Originally southern-style cornbread had zero added sugar in it, but most recipes nowadays call for a tablespoon of sugar to balance out the flavor of the sawdust cornmeal so it ends up just tasting like nothing. You don't do that if you use good, heirloom corn, and it actually has flavor.

It ultimately comes down to the quality of the corn and the method that they use to process it and to maximize profits. Stone ground cornmeal yields a better product, but is less efficient.

I don't know what to do with this information

Assuming this email is legit, the best thing that you can do is change as many of your passwords as possible to be unique and complex. You may also want to consider deleting old email addresses and getting new ones. Alternatively you can separate your emails addresses by having one for signing up for spammy services, one for personal stuff, one for work/school, etc. Try not to have much overlap between them all.

Edit: I also highly recommended using a temporary email for signing up for stuff whenever possible. I always use this one , but there are plenty of others too.

There's not much context. It started with my friend showing me how he could speedrun zooming into a specific potash farm in China and then it grew into a series of shitposts

Reminder to spend more time in nature

I'm telling y'all this worked wonders for me. The other day I was feeling like shit and was convinced everything's fucked and I'm fucked and was going down a doom spiral and then I just went on a walk and sat in silence by a creek in the woods for a while and listened to/ observed my thoughts and then I got up and was like "huh. I'm okay now."

Of course I'd do it. Lack of fingers would be an inconvience, sure, but there's cool technology like 3d printing that I could use to get by okay. The inconvience is more than worth it for people to have basic human needs. Plus, with everyone having basic needs they'd be able to spend their time doing things that they enjoy and are passionate about. In all the population of the earth there are definitely gonna be people whose mission is to get people functioning bionic fingers that work like the real deal. I don't care about people knowing. It would be more annoying if they did because then people would constantly be thanking me and receiving compliments is awkward.
