This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You don't even really need milk for mashed potato, just put extra butter in.

What uh... What do you suppose butter is made of?

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago

I think you're missing the point, it's not like people make mashed potato by churning a bunch of milk into butter.

I'd even suggest that butter is the more vital ingredient.

Palm oil, everyone knows it.

That's margarine.

I can't believe it's not butter!

Are you really the sort of tard that if someone asks if you have milk you say yes because you have butter?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

That only makes sense if you also have buttermilk, otherwise you're missing the rest of what makes milk... milk.

You can go from milk to butter in a pinch (put it in a container and shake for 10 min or so), you can't go the other way.
