@finlaydag33k that's the kind of stuff i mean when i say that it's a shame that GPUs are only used for lame neural net stuff instead for real parallel algorithms :)

@CapitalB geräucherte paprika war eine revolutionäre entdeckung für mich :D

aber im ernst, das schmeckt wirklich gut so. hab auch erst gedacht das es fade wird, aber ist echt gut. der ingwer machts glaub ich. aber natürlich kann man jedes rezept nach eigenem belieben ändern, das ist ja der spaß dabei. soll ja schmecken!

@CapitalB
ich ess doch aber gar kein fleisch xD meinen CO2 abdruck vergrößere ich stattdessen mit exzessivem käsekonsum.

der geneigte leser kann aber natürlich gerne auch ein bisschen speck auslassen 🥓

thought i might as well start posting food stuff occasionally

# lentils with basil

## ingredients

- 250g lentils
- 2 large cloves of garlic in fine dice
- 1 large red onion in fine dice
- ~4 cm peeled ginger, ground
- 1 tea spoon turmeric
- 1 table spoon died basil
- 750 ml water
- 1 tea spoon salt
- 1 table spoon oil or butter

## preparation

soak lentils over night.

put a pot on medium heat, add the onions without oil/fat. let them roast for a few minutes. add oil, garlic, ginger, turmeric and basil. let roast until it smells aromatic, around 2 minutes.

drain soaked lentils and add them to the pot, again let things cook for around two minutes. add the water and salt, increase heat, cook until lentils are soft and it isn't soupy but more like a stew.

@freemo for me it feels just wrong that qoto is bullied into doing these things while it always was a nice place with nice people who discuss things in a civil way. maybe with opposing ideas but not in bad faith.

@freemo i'm not exactly happy with that change tbh, but i can understand your reasons for it :)

i think that it's a slippery slope to replace "free speech" because from my experience the people who are against free speech are never satisfied.

if anything, don't let this whole thing affect your health, it clearly isn't worth it !

@freemo i think it's a combination of german leftwing being very much anti free speech combined with fears about risking support from the german government which also hates free speech - mastodon gGmbH is a tax exempt company after all ;)

@nt5tm addendum:
this graphic just showed up in my feed (from https://mas.to/@edmat/109363905602973556 ) where milk isn't really bad compared to the plant oils here.

there are so many variables that you can twist the data in either direction. it's all bullshit. i don't even eat meat, but if i eat some grass fed beef or heritage pig breed from around where i live "climate impact" is virtually nonexistent. the eggs i eat are literally from chicken roaming a pasture. meat consumption is too high but if it would return to more traditional levels it's completely fine. replacing it completely is wrong.

what is worst is that the "solutions" only target common people. the rich still fly around in jets eating everything they like - to "climate conferences"/super hero LARPs. the industry still does what it likes. producing not only CO2, but so much toxic waste it isn't even funny.

IMHO, climate change will be the smallest problem if we continue the ultra-globalized technocratic way.

@nexus_plasma aber sie hattens doch so schwer! schwierige kindheit sozusagen!

@lain

@nt5tm i don't have any definitive numbers. i only know enough to be dangerous ;)

from my experience those climate related numbers are always presented in a way that they are looking the most bad. this "institute" can say everything they like, they are not scientists but consultants in the first place.

the alternative for butter is margarine, which is made from plant based oils.

those don't grow on meadows. to replace milk based food, means to plow over at least some of the meadows and throw heaps of synthetic fertilizer on it. losing habitat and likely freeing more CO2. a recent no agenda show was called "upcycling ruminants" which really describes it well. cows convert pasture not usable by humans into food.

like i wrote in the first post, i think you will arrive at those dramatic numbers if you only look at one product. whey isn't just flushed down the drain usually. one also has to take into account how much you need of things. they talk about 1kg of butter. we need at least two weeks to use that much butter if we are using it in really liberal amounts.

i think if one applies a more holistic approach when analyzing these things, the numbers wouldn't look nearly as bad for milk as they do now - and much more shitty for "plant based" alternatives.

unfortunately it's about pushing an agenda, enabling some people to get rich and to control the food system. you remove food made by local farms with industry-made food by a few companies. milk products are of course industrialized too, but it's very often owned by cooperatives. even arla is a cooperative.

so there never will be true numbers on these things. even lovelock didn't believe the doomsday numbers anymore.

ökotest so:

> Butter ist eine Klimasau

> Butter oder Margarine nehmen? Das macht nicht nur beim Preis einen Unterschied, sondern auch für die Umwelt. Butter ist eine Klimasau, man muss es so deutlich sagen. Die Herstellung von einem Kilo Butter verursacht 9,0 Kilo Treibhausgase, rechnet das Institut für Energie- und Umweltforschung Heidelberg (Ifeu) vor. Bei Margarine sind es mit 2,8 Kilo weniger als ein Drittel.

> Butter gehört damit unter den ohnehin schon klimaschädlicheren tierischen Lebensmitteln zu denen mit dem größten CO2-Fußabdruck, weit vor Vollmilch (1,4 kg) oder Naturjoghurt (1,7 kg). Auch im Wasserverbrauch liegt die Butter dreifach so hoch wie Margarine.

ist in die 9kg auch eingerechnet das der "rest" auch benutzt wird? buttermilch heisst ja nicht umsonst so.

oder wird einfach alles - wie immer beim klima-LARP - doppelt und dreifach getrennt gezählt, damit klassische nahrungsmittel wieder ganz besonders schlecht dastehen?

@nexus_plasma ich hab irgendwo gelesen das tee ja cultural appropriation und deeply problematic ist weil tee ja aus kolonien kommt. wird mit kaffee ähnlich sein.

also: aufputschen nur mit meth, das ist altbewährtes deutsches mittel!

@nexus_plasma moment, nur heisses wasser? ist jetzt auch kaffee und tee rationiert wegen ukraine?

@josemanuel garamond ftw!
