      European countries start national stockpiling of olive oil.

      The average european already does that.

          For how many years do you stockpile? I try to buy a yearly supply and often get overflow from one year to the next.

            Not years but about 6 months worth. I’m very picky with my olive oil so if I find a good price in one of the brands I like best I’ll buy some… bu I usually alredy have a ton at home lol. But I use it everyday, not only to cook and for salad but also in the bread or the popcorn. My favorite food is Olive Oil

              I live in olive country, so I try to buy straight from the producer and bottle it at home and I also use it daily as well, even for baking sweets (olive oil cakes are a thing here).

        That was the point of my joke. I mean, if after getting hit, the straps failed and the chestplate fell down, it would be a malfunction.

      Had the same reaction, but I quickly realised I’m happy about my ignorance here. My gut reaction is that it’s extremely US-centric and stuff you’d need to be an always online, mainly MSM, kind of person. Nooooope, thank you.

      If he does die, do you think the establishment would tell anyone? They’d AI his looks, speech and Twitter posts and claim he’s done appearances on TV for years.

    To anyone with questions:

    1. Chappell Roan is a famous pop star. The Grammys are a music awards show. Chappell Roan is an advocate for women and LGBT rights.

    2. Trump refused to accept his loss in 2016. One might suggest that he’s refuse to accept he died

    3. Snapbacks are a type of hat that were popular in the 90s and are not currently cool

    4. Ariana Grande is a famous pop star. Queerbaiting is dropping hints that you’re gay (whether you are or not) to draw in more fans.

    5. Hawk Tuah girl is the girl from the viral video that I would be shocked you weren’t at least aware of. She already started a podcast to cash in on the 15 minutes of fame.

    6. Rihanna is a famous pop star who hasn’t released an album in awhile

    7. Travis and Jason Kelce are NFL players. Travis is dating Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift is a famous pop star. They are wealthy.

    8. Pretty sure “Rare Slime” is just a joke

    9. Minecraft is a video game. A Minecraft Movie is coming out with mixed reception

    10. Bethenny Frankel is the CEO of Skinnygirl and a popular TikTok influencer

    To the people who think they look cool by pretending they don’t get this list: Wow it’s so cool that you live under a rock! I don’t follow pop culture that closely but the only one I had to google was Bethenny Frankel so I don’t believe you’re that confused

      1 - its dumb so not getting is fine

      2 - Even after you have explained it, I still dont get it

      3 - there was fitted or adjustable. I was born in the 1970’s and have never heard the term snapbacks referring to adjustable fit hats. I think this snapbacks just became a thing because velcro became the popular adjustable baseball hat thing

      4 - never heard of queerbating and I have plenty of gay friends

      5 - I only understood it after googling hawk tuah girl, but that was a one day fad and I will probably forget it again after today

      6 - I couldn’t point out a Rihanna song and have a 50/50 chance of pointing her out if you gave me a picture of her and someone other pop star her age that I don’t know

      7 - I got this but only because I watch NFL every so often (SEAHAWKS!!!)

      8 - I thought it was a gray goo joke about the end of the world

      9 - Kids will fucking love the Minecraft movie no matter what the reviews are. Kids are idiots

      10 - I still don’t get it. And now that you explained it, I bet she is a Trumper?

      So I got a couple out of 10

      To the people who think they look cool by pretending they don’t get this list: Wow it’s so cool that you live under a rock!

        Don’t read too much into it, there isn’t much of a reason behind most of these predictions

        1. They’re just hats with snaps and with all fashion trends, it’s very uncool to wear them after they’re out of style…until it’s ironically cool

        2. That’s fine. She hasn’t been in the news much the past few years which I think is the root of the joke

        3. Could be!

        4. The negative reactions are from the adults expecting a kids movie to cater to them. Those fans are mentally unwell

        5. No idea. I vaguely recognized the name but I’m not sure what her web presence is like

        don’t be a dick

        You’re in the first category I described, not the second. I was referring to the other edgelord comments saying this is brain rot or questioning if it’s written in English when these aren’t terminally online deep cuts…they’re mostly surface level pop culture.

      O-OP didn’t write -baiting as in luring: O-OP wrote -bating as in onanism.

      It doesn’t make any more sense as gratuitously made-up words go - so fetch - but I wanted to be clear on which made-up word OP was writing.

      (Unless we assume O-OP didn’t proof what he wrote and also OP still reprinted it instead of waiting for the correct version)

        I can’t know what they really meant but between “misspelled slang” and “clever play on words that I just don’t understand,” I’m heavily inclined to assume the former since this is just a silly list they made

      Queerbaiting: Pretending or hinting that you may be LGBT+, in order to trick people into liking you more, or to pay more attention to you or your work. Sometimes this is a way to try to get LGBT+ fans, sometimes it’s trying to get straight people who think LGBT+ people/acts are sexy.

      Arc, as in story arc of a tv show or book series: So, it’s for a set period of time, and then they move on, not really acknowledging again.

      Pop acts have done this a lot.

              There are different levels of scummy that are considered socially acceptable, and some marketing doesn’t rely on tricking you.

              Think of the different ads you’ve seen:

              “Our furniture is locally made by unionized workers. Everything is made using young trees that we grow ourselves, or reclaimed wood”

              Is different than:

              “On Friday, our pasta is buy one get one free”

              Is very different than:

              “Hey gay, it’s June. You know what that means? It’s time for us to change our logo to include a rainbow and maybe even have an ad (in some countries) with two woman who might be married if you read between the lines. Maybe you can ignore that we donate money to political groups that are anti-LGBT, or that we fire queer people at a higher rate than straight people.”

              Or

              “Hey kids, I’m a clown! Your parents don’t love you if they don’t buy Clown brand bleach. Kids without Clown brand bleach are poor, unlovable losers, and they’ll never have any friends. Now in comes in cherry, and blue raspberry!”

      Well Billie Eilish and Chapell Roan have been releasing songs about cunnilingus and heavy petting lately that have been ok in specific circles which keeps them employed so in order to get in on that and also hopefully capture so more name recognition Arianna Grande will put in a show of being queer and then act upset about backlash but then rise above it to state that it doesn’t matter making a big song about their bold new life choice, and then drop it after snapbacks come back without really ever talking about it ever again.

      No, no, it’s queerbating. She’s obviously going to open up to hawk girl on the view about what she flicks the bean towards, and then market the ‘slime’ to all the insane people…

      and the video promoting it prominently displays her wrists with snapbacks on them.

      I think I hate myself for this mental image.

      One of the first times I remember feeling old was when I heard people saying snapback instead of (baseball) cap. Things just kept skibiding from there
