"In 2019, after the Hartford Yard Goats minor league baseball team banned peanuts at Dunkin' Park due to allergy concerns, the club announced a contest for fans to come up with new, nut-free lyrics to replace "Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack." The winning lyric, 'Buy me a hot dog and Yard Goats cap', has been sung at home games ever since."

Neon Desert, Lan Yao
I think this gets at a certain feel, I'm not going to try to describe it. Modern experience of reality.
I think this person is still making art and sells prints on Etsy:

Why does Facebook allow people to buy ads that impersonate Facebook?
On Facebook there will be an ad that is a picture that looks like Facebook's notifications but if you hover over it reveals it is going to a scam site.
Facebook gladly takes the ad money because they don't care if a user gets scammed.
I wonder how many actually fall for it. It must work because the scammers keep buying ads.

So Google has marked email that Google sent me as junk.
You would think Google's filter would say, "hey this is from us, it's not junk."
It was a Google Business Profile email, which I always get two copies. One on main account and one on back up account. This time one was marked as junk and one went to inbox.
I not complaining it just reminded me how a giant corp can't get the small things right.

"Here, have some snackage," my roommate dumped a handful of nuts on my desk.
I rubbed my eyes as they rolled all over and tried not to ask him if his hands were clean. Then I decided I didn't care. I needed energy to keep going on this. I put my palm under the edge of the desk and swiped the nuts into it, then threw them in my mouth and chewed. They were bitter, but not in any dirty way. I swallowed and felt an immediate surge as my brain came back.
"Why do I feel smarter?" I asked. "Also why do I suddenly feel like a twat?"
"Uh..." my roommate checked the container.
I swiped it from him. "Academia Nuts."

The #Nutcracker: A Timeless #Tool with Modern Uses and Appeal
September 22, 2024 by Mahtab Hussain
Excerpt: "The Nut cracker’s Future in #Sustainability
"As more people become #environmentally conscious, there is a growing appreciation for #reusable, long-lasting tools like the nutcracker. In a world filled with #disposable gadgets, a well-made nutcracker can last for years, reducing the need for wasteful packaging of pre-shelled nuts.
"Additionally, many nut crackers are made from sustainable materials such as wood or metal, which aligns with eco-friendly living practices."

#CentralAsia’s #fruit and #nut #forests: the real Garden of Eden?
Birthplaces of some of the world’s most beloved snacks
by Monica Evans
17 December 2020"Millions of years ago, in the temperate montane forests of a little-known region in Central Asia, some of the world’s best-loved fruit and nut trees began to grow. #Apples, #apricots, #cherries, #plums, #grapes, #figs, #peaches, #pomegranates, #pears, #almonds, #pistachios and #walnuts all originated in the hills and valleys of the #TianShan mountain range, which stretches from #Uzbekistan in the west to #China and #Mongolia in the east.
"The area is volcanic and geologically tumultuous, but fertile – scientists have hypothesized that in a place prone to frequent eruptions, earthquakes and landslides, shorter-lived tree species that could disperse their seeds widely by making themselves palatable to large mammals had a better shot at survival than long-lived, slow-maturing trees.
"And that tasty survival strategy has served these species well. For residents of the region, the foods represent both security and social currency. 'From the taxi drivers to the ministers to the local people, almost everyone carries some #DriedFruit or #Nuts with them,' says Paola Agostini, a lead natural resources specialist for Europe and Central Asia at the World Bank. 'It’s like this safety net, and it’s also a lovely gift: something to share with others that is always appreciated.'
"Central Asian marketplaces offer a cornucopia of colors, flavors, textures and varieties – many more than those most of us are accustomed to finding in our local supermarket’s produce aisle. 'I was always astonished that people in the region could so easily tell which country a particular dried apricot came from,' says Agostini. 'Their knowledge of these products is just so deep.'
"Procuring and sharing these energy-dense treats is an ancient practice in the area. Fruit and nuts were major commodities on the Silk Road, an ancient network of trade routes that tracked through the heart of Central Asia, linking Europe, the Middle East and Asia, from the first century BC through to the mid-1400s. Over centuries of trade and travel – and lots of munching by humans, camels and horses along the way – prized fruit and nut species spread their seeds wider and wider, and new hybrid varieties were created, many of which are now supermarket and home-orchard staples, cultivated enthusiastically in temperate regions across the globe.
"Narratives of plant domestication often tend to overstate the role of humans, but newer science suggests that 'evolution in parallel' with the plants we love is often a more accurate way of framing this process. 'It’s very unlikely that when somebody took an apple from #Kazakhstan and carried it across an entire continent, they were thinking that they could cross it with another variety and end up with something better,' says #RobertSpengler, a paleo-ethnobotanist at the Max Planck Institute in Jena, Germany. 'They were more likely just carrying the seeds to plant somewhere else. And in doing so, they inadvertently set off a chain reaction of hybridization events.'
"According to Spengler’s research into the origins of apples, humans were not the first mammals to participate in that process of dispersal and co-evolution, either. In the late #Miocene, which spanned the period from 11.63 to 5.33 million years ago, large mammals such as #mammoths and #horses played critical roles in dispersing apple seeds and facilitating their evolutionary process into the large, sweet, flavor-rich fruits we enjoy today."

A guide to Australian native #nuts
"When we think of nuts that are native to #Australia undoubtedly we think of the #macadamia. But macadamia isn’t the only native nut in town.
"The macadamia nut really is a global success story. Originating here around 60 million years ago it is now exported to more than 40 countries around the world.
"Because it evolved here, the macadamia tree has an incredible natural ability to tolerate the harsh Australian conditions, and it’s been called a ‘sustainability giant’ of the plant world, thanks to its inherent ability to optimise its water use, and sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
"But macadamia isn’t the only native nut in town. Along with the macadamia, let’s look at a few other delicious native nuts."

Piñon Pine Nuts
This is a magical time of the year when piñon pine nuts are ready to eat here where I live in Northern Nevada. They can be harvested by collecting the green cones in the fall, preferably September (please be mindful of the ethical, environmental and legal limits) and allowed to ripen in a cool, dry place. Alternatively, some grocery stores sell them though they can be pricey. You can also pick […]
