This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon is a complete fucking idiot for not simply walking into a random Filipino’s house and politely asking for some homemade Filipino food. Idiot anon goes to the McD’s of the Philippines, and calls it a day. Filipinos have many insanely tasty dishes, and dumbfuck anon chooses garbage. Dinuguan (AKA chocolate meat) is my absolute favorite.
Story is definitely real, so good on you for keeping it
IUm, dinuguan is blood soup (root word is literally blood). I like it, but it has a pretty niche appeal, and you'll be hard pressed to find someone that'll serve it to a westerner.
But yeah, do yourself a favor and find a "carinderia" (or karinderya, depending on region) which roughly translates to "cafeteria" but is usually run by a sweet lady making as close as you'll get to homemade cooking. Some dishes to try:
Or branch out! It works kind of like Panda Express where you point to the dish(es) you want (called ulam) and they'll add rice (I recommend asking for extra). It's cheaper than any fast food chain and way better.
Just don't go to the Karenderia. It's run by a white woman that thinks she knows what she is doing, and wishes to speak to your manager.
This sounds awesome! Wish we had places like this in the States
Dominican places in Brooklyn can be like this. Awesome and cheap.
The concept is becoming more popular I'm the US I think. I just found out a bunch of Puerto Rican ladies essentially run a similar concept near me recently.
We do, Panda Express
No
Panda express is as corpo and soulless as every other fast food restaurant.
Whooooosh
Yup. It's like people who go to Starbucks when they tour Asia. removed, you're on vacation, go see something new.
osrs has F2P buddy
I've had this name since 2013 :p
fair enough haha, is there an active 07scape community? I only know of one and it's 90% updates shared by the mod, one of the few things I miss from reddit
No active ones unfortunately. I would say pick one from !2007scape@lemmy.world, !2007scape@lemmy.ml, !runescape@lemmy.ml, !2007scape@lemmit.online, !runescape@lemmy.world and start posting
Nah, it's definitely valid to get fast food abroad, even if you have it at home. Sometimes they have wildly different things that you can't get at home, or in the case of Jollibee, it's straight up not available at home (unless home is LA). You should probably sample the more wholesome local cuisine too of course, but it's perfectly alright stop at a Burger King in Tokyo to try the new Garlic Hokkaido burger or whatever, if that's your jam. Let people enjoy things.
There's jollibees in most major us cities now.
Not... Really. I didn't realize how much they've expanded as they're definitely in more than just LA now, so I was wrong there, but they only have locations in 14 states. There's major cities in way more than 14 states.
Imagine using an instance that censors 'bitch'
huh?
"Bitch", I assume. Fits the context, and I think it's on lemmy.ml's forbidden word list.
I’m not sure whether I’m more mad about the fact that they censor the word “bitch” or that they didn’t use [redacted] as the replacement..
I might hang out at the SCP wiki a bit too much
What a bitch-ass move.
Lemmy has certain words that are hard-censored. Like hard-coded into the actual code base. I think both the r and f slurs are among them.
It's the instance, not Lemmy in general.
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/622
For anyone that doesn't want to read through a thread on Lemmy's GitHub, the conclusion there is that three years ago, the instance slur filter was made opt-in and controlled via a config file, rather than hard coded.
Bitch, let's see
Edit: well, this isn't one of them
