is it also somewhat gendered? like "woman laughing alone with salad"? "elderly woman without teeth sitting alone with yogurt?"

She’s not alone if she’s with the yogurt. You’ve got eight million friends in each cup.

growing up in the US in the 70s/80s -- yogurt was definitely marketed towards women esp. for weight loss

For I don’t think it’s gendered — I remember in college (way back in the 90s) being at the caf and a male friend of mine was eating yogurt. I could barely look at him! The way he was spooning it, the lack of need to chew. Ugh no.

I eat yogurt every day. I think it might be gendered in the US for the reasons mentioned above, but it really is considered "healthy food" by most people nowadays, even if it's the heinous, very sugary kind.

The idea that 90% of the plot and/or dialogue on 90% of the trending shows on netflix or any of the platforms really were presumably generated by adult humans who then sent them on to other adult humans to be approved for viewing by still more adult humans, i could genuinely just die for them all

This has probably been addressed by other users, but when people in the workplace use terms like "awesomesauce." I want to ask them if they're neuroatypical.

hahaha ... yeah, I really try not to be bothered by this, but it takes effort ... my current "embarrassment avoidance strategy" is thinking that maybe they moved around a lot as kids, potentially to foreign countries, and this tendency to assume the vernacular of their perceived peers was kinda a survival mechanism of their youth that just continued into adulthood and that is why far too many things are "bonkers" and they have a "kiddo" and associate with "humans".

I admit the neuroatypical comment was lame, apologies.
The "bonkers" thing is hard because there are only so many ways to say "this situation is crazy" without utilizing really loaded terms...like crazy. Bananas is the one I use if I ever need to, "wild" also works.

I get weirdly embarrassed when people in restaurants overdo the apologies for running out of something.
me, I don't care, I just...find something else (I can eat almost anything), but if someone's like "oh I'm sooooo soooo sorry that we don't have the 3 pound Steakburger with Alien Cheese and Salamander bread, I know you had your heart set on that, let me buy your dessert", I'm embarrassed cos they think I actually am 'upset' when I'm not.

I think there are enough really picky high maintenance customers that restaurant people just do that as a default. ... I am irrationally embarrassed when I observe customers who actually do get upset and require mollification.
