@rakyat What's important is they are not in kl causing jams.

@rakyat I think there are some fair points there. Najib was bad, but everything after him was kind of a shit show.

Then again, this might be my terrible Malaysian memory making it hard to remember all the shit he did.

Dafuq with calling Yang Guo (杨过) "Penance". I don't care if that is what his name means whatever but you dont have to translate Chinese names like that. I can't take this translation of Jin Yong's book seriously omg 💀

Like, there's this character in Mysterious Lotus Casebook called "Duo Bing", can you imagine if you call him "Always Sick"?? Chinese names don't have to be direct translations omg

I think one reason people don’t have much nostalgia for the 2000s is because people don’t remember it fondly. And the parts that were good weren’t a collective experience.

What were the big events of the 2000s? Well, we had 9/11 at the beginning, and the Great Recession at the end.

Personally, I had fun. I remember trucker hats, garage rock, Wii Sports, LiveJournal, and lots of Hong Kong cinema.

But I’m not sure other people relate to that.

@atomicpoet A lot of Gen Z are very nostalgic about the 00s. Pop culture is shifting to that now.

I kind of like their fun house mirror distorted view of the decade.

Assuming that jellyfish do not experience desire, suffering, fear, pain, pleasure, happiness, expectations, disappointments and all that (since they do not have brains)…

Does that mean that reincarnating as a jellyfish = nirvana?

@rakyat I suppose you can add fungus to that list too.

HAHAHAHA I HAD AN IDIOTIC MOMENT FOR A HOT SEC

people recommended catfish as the go-to fish to breed at home, and was told that there are Indonesian vids on how to do so.

I looked up "bela ikan keli" (breeding catfishes) on YouTube, and found a vid from a Malaysian. I was just so focused on what they (video poster) had to say, and was making mental images of their catfishes everytime they mentioned the catfishes (without showing them).

The moment of truth, they showed how their catfishes looked like AND I WAS SHOCKED BY HOW GRAY, WET, SLIMY THE CATFISHES LOOKED because the WHOLE TIME, I was picturing catfishes as fishes that are dry with a hard head, not slimy, not gray or shiny or wet. In simple terms, I was imagining "Ikan Keli Sambal" and "Ikan Keli Bakar" swimming in their tank the whole time 😭

I never expected myself to be this stupid this whole time. This is a revelation to me as much as it is to y'all.

@irfan yeah, keli are disgusting slimy bottom feeding creatures when they are alive.

But so nice, crispy and tempting once fried...

@irfan @gombang @rakyat It's not that easy, you need to source fish feed, deal with disease, manage water quality, etc.

Its always easy before you try it.

ubi,
@ubi@ecoevo.social avatar

@rakyat @gombang @irfan Doesn't seem viable, we have to deal with cheaper imports from all those unemployed Indonesian graduates.

irfan, to random

If people could grow vegetables at home for their own consumption, I wonder if it's (easily) doable to breed fish at home for their own consumption? Curious what fish it'd be that's most efficient to breed i.e. most meat, or multiplies fast, least maintenance, etc.

ubi,
@ubi@ecoevo.social avatar

@irfan Catfish. They're the toughest most efficient fish to breed.

There are a lot of Indonesian videos on how to use a large bucket or drum to make backyard set up.

@rakyat That looks like it might work. The creaminess of the Butod can be balanced with the rice.

@rakyat They are creamy and lemak. But the skin is a bit like a chewy vegetable.

@jeromechoo It's not huge in Malaysia, there are a only a few people here but the average Malaysian talks about food a lot.

Sometimes other Southeast Asians use it too.

The image shows a screenshot of a social media interaction with two text comments. The first comment provides information about Draco sumatranus, an agamid lizard species capable of gliding. The second comment says, “OP is now the father of dragons, king of the neanderthal and the first men, protector of his bedroom and toilet bowl, khaleesi of the Padang depan rumah, the unburnt cheesecake, the breaker of dog chains, and this is his stillborn dragon baby.”

@rakyat Gliding lizards adapt surprisingly well to human habitation. They like the large gaps between trees that we make. Even in the forest the easiest way to find them is to look for clearings.

Roti kahwin (married roti) is a pair of roti canai, one with eggs and one without.

In Malay:
Roti Kahwin: roti canai satu ada telur, satu takde telur.

The meaning of the explanation in English is the same, but the the gender implied by the eggs* gets flipped.

*egg = telur = euphemism for balls

@ubi@ecoevo.social avatar

@geraineon It's a slang to order 1 roti canai, 1 roti telur.

During the Najib administration we had Roti Najib, tak ada telur.

Still upset at my country's inability to mass-produce durians. It's too expensive at where I live now.

@gombang Plant a durian tree and you will have a lifetime supply without logistics problems.

ubi,

@gombang Honestly the ones from the tree are the best. I feel like durian became a lot less enjoyable when it turned into a mass produced cash crop.

ubi,
@ubi@ecoevo.social avatar

@gombang I miss the days when there were so many durians in the kampung that people just let you take any that you find for free.
