Ahh yes, let's replace a tool of knowledge with a tool that gets all it's information from the original tool that is trying to be replaced. While we're at it, lets just get rid of farms since food just comes from the super market now.

Probably. I remember Jelly Belly does something similar with how they make flavors.

Yeah but I really do care since I take cooking science kind of seriously, and depending on what the recipe is, it actually could matter a lot. Butter is a saturated fat while margarine is an unsaturated fat (previously trans fat), and one of the easiest ways to tell the difference between them is if it's solid or liquid at room temperature, which is a pretty clear chemical difference, and butter is cow milk fat while margarine is a frankenfood of mostly vegetable fats last I checked which are 2 very different things with very different chemical properties, and if you're trying to get a specific chemical reaction out of the food and not "just adding flavor" it could be very different in the reaction.
Most extreme example I saw was when someone made a steel cleaner out of coca-cola and the guy trying it used pepsi instead and said "this cleaner doesn't work at all, 1/5 stars," but then all the comments were "that's because you used pepsi, the chemical reaction that's used here is with citric acid which is present in coke whereas pepsi doesn't have the same levels of citric acid so it won't work." Like, one would think that since coke and pepsi taste so similar and with them both being colas it wouldn't matter, but it did.

Ahh yes, the time when you learn that Samus is a woman and you aren't playing as Zelda.

One would think based on taste, but on a molecular level butter and margarine are as different as oxygen and helium, and both cooking and baking are just applied chemistry.

>light gun games work on it
>translucent effects in old games look translucent instead of like a checkerboard
>"ping" is zero instead of like 2 with HDMI, which in an interactive medium is a pretty big deal
Yeah, CRTs are useless

That requires a special license, the game warden is going to come after you now and give you a big fine.

You probably know my face if you sort by fresh or rising (because I never make it to front); it haunts your dreams at night. gigalol:pokematic
