I've never met a person who does that without asking, or who does it (outside of an intimate partner) with a dirty fork. People who act slightly differently from you are not bad and awful, hth.

Restaurant portions are also loving insane. Unless I'm at a small plates place (where the point is to share or I'm on an expensive date and we're getting the same meal portioned to ourselves which is basically the same as sharing) like an entrée is easily three meals. If I'm out with another couple 1 app and 2 mains is easily more than enough for 4 people. And I'm a loving goon so it's not like I'm some slender thing. Everyone ordering their own individual thing is massively inefficient. It also leads to less variety.

There are still *manners* to it. I had a friend who was a boor so when we'd go out to eat every other word was, "Are you going to eat that? Are you done?" He was also *incredibly* cheap so he was a parasite on the sharing culture. But those are exceptions to the rule and they get excluded pretty quickly.

My brother once had dinner at a Chinese restaurant with someone who insisted that not only could people not share, but no two people could order the same thing. It turns out they got food poisoning and their insistence that nobody share probably saved the rest of the table.

I am not a natural plate-sharer, the idea of other people just grabbing snacks off my plate sounds really weird to me, but the thing about US portioning does make a big difference. I am really not a birdlike appetite kind of person, but the one time I had a breakfast plate at a Denny's, at a time when I was genuinely very hungry, I had to give up well before half the plate was gone. The waitress was legit worried that we thought the food was bad or something, but no, it was pretty tasty, there was just an extremely large amount of it.

White liberals do it so much more grotesquely than a chud nazi could ever DREAM. That they shield themselves with identities of woke allies and compassionate humanitarians while speaking that same language of empire, it's such a deeper evil.

Potato flowers are bisexual. They have both male and female parts. However, they are also (usually) self-incompatible so a plant can only have sex with other plants and not itself.

What we've learned from this that Mr and Mrs Potato are indeed separate people but which one is the "Mr" and which one is the "Mrs" can and does change fluidly.

We need a Genesis P-Orridge and Lady Jaye Breyer Mr and Mrs Potato head dolls.

Every Chinese place I've ever eaten, the dishes on the table have separate serving spoons, so the only way everybody would get food poisoning would be if the sick person hadn't washed their hands after pooping. Unless you're at a Chinese restaurant where the meals are served plated?

I have spent almost five minutes trying to wrap my brain around this. If nobody is "allowed" to share their plates, why would it matter whether some people order the same thing or not? To make the dining table more visually appealing?

Is this an Instagram/Facebook thing? :bahgawd:

Present times excepted, there are huge portions of a person's life where swapping saliva (and hopefully more) with random strangers is the goal.
