Someone tell me there's a Culture world like this just because Iain M Banks thought it'd be a fun challenge

Edit: I'm turning this into a Culture thread with a screenshot of me proselytizing it to my friends

I just finished a player of games a few months ago! Someone suggested the series to me here on lemmy (perhaps you? Lol. I never take note of screen names when I should), and I read Phlebas and APoG before I got distracted. It's so good. Like ridiculously good. Phlebas wasn't quite my speed, not bad by any stretch, I just found myself wishing for more of what there was little of and less of what there was much of, but APoG was fantastic and exactly what I was looking for!

from a topological perspective, it’s pretty uncontroversial to say that the earth is indeed a hotdog.

In a topological sense, I have some good news…

Wouldn't that be just a sausage? A hot dog also has bread.

essell@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 1y (2 replies)

I believe you're thinking of a hotdog bun. Different thing.

They're a natural pairing and often found together, like when we say "would you like an ice-cream?" The ice cream cone is implied.

CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Ah I see. I guess it's a language/cultural thing.

Here hot dog refers to the combination of the sausage with the bun. E.g. you can use the bun for making a sandwich instead and the sausage (usually a Wiener Würstchen or Frankfurter Würstchen) in a soup or together with potatoes, or in other meals.

Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 1y

Where I live, they would ask "cone or cup?" for the ice cream.

...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
