Omg the most am thing in my eurotrash opinion: cheese cans. The fuck

If it makes you feel any better, the section of my supermarket that sells genuine cheese is approximately 100 times larger than the square footage where canned 'cheese' is displayed for sale.

people don't get hives outside the USA?

nah there are beekeepers all around the world
― "Big Joe Fuck and the Bogalusa Maniac" (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 16:15 (six years ago)
I meant skin hives — itchy welts caused by allergy or stress

the bee population is in global decline, i imagine beekeeping must be pretty stressful

i think in british english they just call that a rash?

Ha, that's right!
― I've Got A Ron Wood Solo Album To Listen To (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 18:55 (six years ago)
A rash is different than hives. Hives ime are like individual welts whereas a rash is more diffuse and has more points of irritation (many small bumps, for example). You can get them both from contact with an irritant or from mental stressors, but they are not the same thing. ime.

Maybe in BrE the technical term “urticaria” is in common parlance

(Australia has the skin version of hives too ftr. "Hickeys" started to take over from "love bites" in the '90s afaik, as with many other slang terms in Hollywood teen movies. no idea what #youths today call them)
― insecurity bear (sic), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:50 (six years ago)
We're lessy fussy about stuff like that over here. I'm sure there are regional names for hives, though I still don't really know what hives are... or is.
― I've Got A Ron Wood Solo Album To Listen To (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:51 (six years ago)
Lucky you who have never had a hive! They are utterly unrelated to hickeys aside from being skin welts visible to the naked eye.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:53 (six years ago)
I'm sure I have had a hive and I'm sure I just called it a rash!
― I've Got A Ron Wood Solo Album To Listen To (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:54 (six years ago)
The NHS apparently calls them hives but I've never heard anyone use that word irl.

so this is a list of colloquial names for skin problems?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 20:00 (six years ago)
i had a period of acute urticaria with some angioedema of the eyes and lips recently. lasted for about 4 weeks, responded to antihistamines, was (seemingly) idiopathic.
hive are not fun

having A/C on 24/7 but keeping the butter in the fridge 24/7 anyway
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 22 May 2020 16:10 (six years ago)
People keep butter in the fridge? (Assuming you mean butter that is in the butter dish to be used soon, not backup butter)
― Je55e, Friday, 22 May 2020 16:17 (six years ago)
oh yes!
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 22 May 2020 16:17 (six years ago)
I don’t know if people who do that. It would make the butter hard to spread.
― Je55e, Friday, 22 May 2020 16:18 (six years ago)
yes, yes it does!
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 22 May 2020 16:18 (six years ago)
Wait, Je55e?!! Hello!
― silby, Friday, 22 May 2020 16:19 (six years ago)
we keep butter in the fridge and I don't really know why. I personally never spread it on anything and only use it for cooking.
