Cincinnati chili has one of the biggest disconnects between looks and taste in food. It looks like absolute trash. It’s a meal you would assume a hobo made from random dumpster dives. Sometimes they show a big plate of it during a national sports broadcast that’s in Cincinnati, and I’ve seen people leave the room because it literally makes them nauseous. But damn if it isn’t shockingly tasty, filling, and satisfying. Something about the cinnamon and beans, plus spaghetti underneath just clicks, and it’s rare to find someone who generally doesn’t like it when they give it a chance. It’s a weird food.
This is a weird application of that quote, but I remember when Avengers: Infinity War came out and there were people saying that Thanos was right, and his decision to kill half of all beings would, in fact, lead to less starvation and poverty. And I got in an argument where I said, “You may be right that Thanos’s was a valid solution. But there is not fucking way in hell that it was even close to the best, or even a good solution! Just because you think of something that works first doesn’t mean you should always go with that!”
Just avert your eyes and keep walking. (lemmy.world)
What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too...
