Haha that's great, I didn't even consider that possible point of confusion.

Side note, way too many things were named after one lady.

Beef Tea. At least according to many Victorians.

Girardhelli brownie mix. Not claiming it's the best ever but it's 100x better than the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines crap. But there's also the barrier of 5-10 mins prep and 25+ mins baking so it's not instant gratification y'know?

Once you bake a pan though it's pretty great for the next day or two. Assuming you're not too concerned with your waistline.

Edit: Oh and a box is like $3 at Big Lots. But you do have to supply an egg and cooking oil.

A friend and I had a little fun with Ultimate Chicken Horse. It's a goofy little Mario Maker type of game where you create levels and challenge each other to complete them but I think you can also run through them cooperatively.

Checks out. Meep meep.

Ok. Can they write? Can they understand the concept of written language enough to hold a sign like that for others to read? 😏

African penguins maybe? They're endangered. I took my partner to feed them at an aviary.

I feel like I've seen a black rhino before, maybe at the San Diego zoo as a kid or something. Those are critically endangered, all but one subspecies extinct.

Retro Games Corps got hit, even though Russ only does legal emulation and backups. It's his "2nd strike" on YouTube (3rd is channel deletion). He's always been mindful of the situation and considerate of not spoiling games or encouraging anything close to piracy from what I've seen.

Ugh, so gross. Also a good pick 👍

"If I Could Turn Back Time" by Cher, thus proving to her for a fraction of a nanosecond that her premise was actually possible after all, before every trace of the tune ceases to exist.

AFAIK anyone can go fully nude in most public spaces in Germany. It's actually kind of weirder to not allow it and carve out arbitrary exceptions if you think about it.

Ok, that's pretty funny to imagine the potential reactions if I (cis male) or any of my manlier friends did that. Good answer!

 

What non-game paid apps do you use that are worthwhile and still relevant in 2023?

For context, I have a decent amount of Google Play credit thanks to Opinion Rewards and a gift card. I'm not looking to start a book or movie collection there, nor sign up for subscription services. But I'm happy to buy the paid/pro version of useful apps.

I'm excluding games just because that's a whole topic on its own.

Here are some one-time paid apps I've been happy with:
