Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Others say it's to fight chiodhood obesity, kids dont tend to like dark/good chocolate.

Idk, my kids love dark chocolate but also I hate milk chocolate so they haven't had much of it.

Well your spawn have unusually good taste. This is not normal.

Love that dark chocolate 😍

Same! But children are usually dumb and bad and wrong re:chocolate.

I'm an adult and I don't like dark chocolate either. It's like coffee in a bar form; bitter and disgusting.

Over a certain percentage, I bite into chocolate and it just sucks all the moisture out of my mouth and is just terrible bitterness. I think 86% was the last one I tried, but even 50% is getting to be too bitter for me. I was always super sensitive to bitter compounds as a kid, though, so that may make sense. I do actually like black coffee of some beans/roasts, but it doesn't have nearly as much bitterness.

Well you're free to be objectively wrong and a subhuman milk chocolate loving freak.

I mean, you might not be, but you should be.

Edit: of course those filth don't have a sense of humor.

I can't hear you over the sound of my civilised cup of tea. :V

Microwaved like the aristocracy I'm certain.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Microwaved!? You insult me!

Do you take me for one of those rebellious, rowdy colonists? What were they called again... Americans?

Well at least you got that one right.
