This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If she opened a restaurant using these recipes, it would be my favourite haunt.

The Afterlife, giving yesteryear's recipes a second chance.

Likely to be visited by the occasional confused Cyberpunk fan :p

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Was that a place in the game? Haven't gotten around to that one yet.

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, it's a morgue converted into a bar, which acts as an important mission hub.

There is/ maybe still is a pub in Calgary that was once a funeral home.

Finding gravestones with recipes on them must be the hard part. Most gravestones are like

Plutis McGillicutty

Some are easier to make than others.

Recipes on head stones is such a lovely idea.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago

Yea. Sounds awesome. I have never wanted a headstone until now.

Guess I should write down my gumbo recipe in case I die

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 weeks ago

Think of future generations

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hell, I'll take it right now.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That still involves writing it down

Can't, I'm illiterate

Are there a lot of recipes on tombstones?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (5 children)

I've decided which recipe to put on my headstone:

Preparation Of Hexamine Peroxide[C6Hi2O6N2]

  1. Take 3.5grams Hexamine [and put it into beakerl containing 11.25grams Hydrogen peroxide (20 - 30% concentration).
  2. Add 5.25grams of concentrated Citric Acid [C6H8O7] or Acetic acid [CH3COOH] to beaker 1.
  3. Mix well for 30minutes, temperature should be between 30-42°C,then cover and leave it in a bowl of cold water till it becomes semi flour like (don't leave unattended)
  4. Once semi flour, pour on top of it the solution of Sodium Carbonate [Na2CO3], keep pouring and stirring till it become neutral. Also to make it more pure wash it with 5 part Alcohol and 1 part Water solution.
  5. Once neutral, filter it, collect crystals and leave it to dry in sun.
  6. Once dry you can store it in water, in the following ratio = 3 part Water: 1 part Hexamine Peroxide.

At first glance I thought you just shared how to make Meth, but turns out its "just" an explosive.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

Dang, I just ran out of hexamine yesterday.

Looks like I need to download the new periodic table to look for Hi

One of the most interesting non-ecology related piece I've saw on Lemmy in a while. It brought me to learn a lot about food and funerary practices.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Can I just say that I am delighted both by the content of this post and by the fact that it is the most "mildly interesting" post I've ever seen posted?

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

/c/wildlyinteresting

This isn't mild.
