They are just socialists on a more national, local level. So they’re basically just like “grow and buy local” liberals that oppose the fascist Drumpf! To those red fascist tankies in the room, LEARN TO READ GERMAN you TANKIES! smuglord

To the non-tankies interested, join us on our lemmy instance where we discuss, among other things: epic bacon memes, i fucking love science videos, and a whole host of other mid to late 2000s internet humor because our brains are stuck in that era and we became the boomers we hated so much!

EDIT: Thanks for the reddit gold everyone!!

    Supposedly the reason we refer to these ites as “cakes” traces back to Benjamin Franklin. While experimenting with the Franklin stove he baked a bunch of cookies that he eventually placed beside the outhouse for his guests. Apparently John Hancock accidentally knocked the plate into the urine pot, and presto, the cakes absorbed the smell.

    Challenge level impossible: Americans stop treating the founding fathers like a pantheon of mythological figures.

    Franklin is just the Americanized Zeus figure.

      Who the fuck goes to an outhouse and is like “man, I sure could go for a cookie while I’m doing my business?”

      1700s guys were gross.

        They didn’t even have plumbing. Who the fuck goes “you know where I should put some snacks for my guests? Right next to my pile of literal shit”
