Can someone please explain the joke?

This is c/rareinsults. Looks like her name is Chandini. Her father called her Sardini, which is certainly a rare insult.

Why does not eating sardines make someone anemic? Wouldn't that make them anorexic?

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Likely because one of the largest causes of anemia is iron deficiency and ~~all~~ most of the foods that are listed are high in iron

Oh yeah? If spinach isn't made of at least 50% iron, how do you explain the effect it has on this man, smart guy?

How I feel after giving someone a compliment and they say "thanks" and I can tell it really did have an effect on them (I am making a positive difference in the world!).

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Ah thanks for the information. I definitely had that misconception

Beets, on the other hand, are iron rich (but taste horrible in my opinion)

There's a Lebanese place near here with pickled beets and olives and other various pickles instead of a loaf of bread with your meal. I love them.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Pickling makes food better!

I might just like vinegar!

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

IMO, they're much better pickled. Also the greens are edible and have a much more conventional "slightly bitter green vegetable" taste.

WHAT

I was sold a bill of goods 🌱

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you. That's what I was not sure about.
