Understand that most meals requiring this kind of etiquette tend to not have finger foods on the same plate as loose veggies or rice. So you're talking about a really niche thing.
I was taught that, other than bread, no food should be held in the hand while eating other food, and bread should only be used in that way with specific dishes, not as a general thing.
So, first option should be another utensil. That's what they're there for. It's unusual that you would have only one.
If that isn't present, then you would use another piece of food. You would ideally use a dry food, like toast or bread, but a breaded piece of meat served as a finger food would be acceptable if the dish is served without other utensils. It would be weird, but not unheard of.
However, you shouldn't finger the food at all. If the food isn't a finger food itself, and you've been provided a utensil, you would normally expect to just leave what can't be scooped up with said utensil.
All of that said, the best etiquette advice possible is: when in doubt, slow down and watch your host. There's really no situation outside in common etiquette where eating slowly is a bad thing. And, doing as one's host is doing is equally universally acceptable. So chew well, placing your utensils down on the plate and engage with the other people. Dinner parties of any significant scope are not about eating as the primary goal. The dinner is the setting for social interactions. So, unless the host or most of the table are just shoveling it in, you have time to estimate the accepted behavior. And, if they're shoveling it in, there's your answer.
Aight, just a bit of background first.
Back in that era, there was a hip-hop subgenre called miami bass. There was an offshoot of that called booty bass. The difference is largely in the degree of rap over the beats, and the nature of the beats. This only matters because Miami at that time was pumping out some serious club bangers. Shit you could really dance to, but would also rattle windows blocks away when played loud.
Da dip was booty bass and a dance song. Like the twist, the macarena, the watusi, the tootsie roll, and other dance fads, the songs were meant to be danced to by the very dance the song was about.
Da dip is basically a modified grind. I put my hand upon your hip (literally), then I dip, you dip, we dip. Dipping in this context is better shown than described.
It's a dance simple enough even drunks, and white kids, can do it; but it's able to be elaborated on by more advanced dancers. Taken to an extreme, it runs fairly close to dirty dancing ala the movie of the same name. It's all hips and grinding of groins. In it's simplest version, it's a couples oriented version of a line dance.
And yes, you would indeed see people doing da dip. Not as popular as just straight up grinding on someone, but it definitely showed up when the song played, and when similar booty bass tracks would. It required less coordination than the tootsie roll or the butterfly for sure, so it saw a short degree of popularity.
You pluck the hair. That's it.
If the hair was still in place after whatever injury caused the scab, then you pluck it, and the root comes out, it means the follicle was intact.
That in turn means that, assuming the motion doesn't remove pieces of the scab, that it's just like plucking any other hair.
That's not uncommon at the edges of scabs. People will pull away a scab, and the hair gets pulled out because it was partially buried in the scab. But you'll also see hairs poking through scabs at times.
That's it. Hair comes out, end of story.
It's both, and the ratio between them. Or that's what I ran across back ages ago when I looked into it.
No, no it isn't. Not by a big enough margin to matter anyway. The koala one takes three basic facts and misconstrues them so horribly, I think it's worse in a way
Koalas
a small overview about the chlamydia
and it isn't even something they causedit was from invasive species.
The reason koalas eat only eucalyptus isn't stupidity. It's niche evolution. They live in a place with high competition for resources. Having specialized digestive tracts and gut flora allows them to have a food source that isn't under competition. this is a benefit, not a failure. They literally eat something that is poisonous to pretty much every other species. That is an incredible evolutionary adaptation.
Their joeys eating pap is not exclusive to koalas either. It's not only found across the world, the exposure to the gut flora of the parent happens with most mammals, if in a less direct manner. You can even find a ton of information about what happens when human gut flora becomes unbalanced, and it isn't very pretty. It's just worse for koalas.
Not every species is a generalist, and we don't want them to be.
a note on why koalas bellow so much
As with most behaviors in other species, attributing human judgement and definitions tends to be misleading. While koalas are pretty unique in the lack of mating rituals, they're not doing it for human reasons. Nor are attempts to copulate outside of season as common as the pasta makes it seem. Besides, that's something humans actually do share with them besides the presence of fingerprints. It also isn't so rare in animals as to be remarkable. Copulation behaviors are used outside of mating by plenty of species for social reasons. It isn't in koalas, but since it does increase the chances of mating, it isn't a bad adaptation.
And the extra cerebro-spinal fluid isn't a special ed helmet, it's another adaptation found in other tree dwelling species. Why would an arboreal species having adaptations to mitigate risk from falls be a negative?
Yeah, I get it, the pasta is meant for entertainment, but it also spreads half truths, outright incorrect or outdated information, and skips over facts for the entertainment value. Then people read it and spout it out later as fact.
It's just a crappy copy pasta, not anything meant to be taken as truth, but people are more dumb than koalas.
This pasta in particular isn't the worst (the sunfish one takes the prize for being the most full of bull). Nor is it a bad thing to enjoy as entertainment. But for crying out loud people, don't take random, unsourced copy pasta as an educational tool.
The fuck are you smoking? Russian grown weed, I guess
Agreed completely.
Not all of them, no.
Most of them don't do those nice, sturdy bubbles at all, but they'll get close. Iirc, almond milk comes closest..
It matters in some recipes whether or not the milk substitute will have the right properties. Say, something like a mushroom cream sauce, none of the substitutes work because there's just not duty enough fats. Milk gravy is hit or miss, with almond being the least bad choice iirc. American style biscuits, soy and almond do okay, but need extra acid to get a good rise like you can with buttermilk. But they sub in fine for regular milk in terms of texture and taste.
Stuff like that. Blowing bubbles is a quick way to test a fake milk. Or even types of cow milk, or milk from other animals. Goat milk, as an example, is so close to cow milk in terms of structure it's an easy substitution if flavor isn't a factor. The powdered milk you can get for long term storage or baking is no better than the usual non dairy stuff when reconstituted, and not even as good as skim milk despite being the dry parts of skim milk.
For good bubbles, you need fats. And they need to be similar enough to milk fats, so there's a high degree of parity between a bubble test and cooking outcomes
That was my first thought too :)
They're funny for sure :)
