So yesterday wife and I took our 3 year old to the park, and we took turns running while one of us stayed with her so she can cycle. Then later we were all walking back when my daughter exclaimed loudly “DADDY WHY IS THAT MUMMY BUT WEARING PANTS PROPERLY, CAN SEE HER BUTT BUTT, EVERYBODY CAN SEE HER BUTT BUTT!” At first I thought my wife has a wardrobe malfunction, so someone else did. But my toddler was pointing at a woman wearing nude body hugging yoga pants so yeah… From a certain angle and in the view of my unfiltered 3 year old daughter, it’s as if her ass was out there for all to see! We quickly walked away (thankfully the woman didn’t hear) while laughing uncontrollably. Later the woman did pass us by but I saw just in time and distracted my toddler so that she wouldn’t decide to ask again…! XD
It seems that there is a flood or something ? The last thing I want is the feed is full of nonsense.
was gonna point out the weird mishmash of communities in the trending box. idk who’s subbing to the islamic communities, certainly not many people from this instance.
also, sorry for rukbut_dev being there. I would prefer that I could test @rukbut in private but there’s no setting to take communities private on lemmy. I could’ve also spun a private instance but that’s a lot of hassle I’d rather not have. nothing like testing in production!
It’s the nature of how lemmy works i think. Like the question in the c/food the other day that would on reddit be posted in askculinary. This instance is very identifiably malaysian, so people might feel more comfortable making islamic communities here.
I’mma just break out the popcorn if a problem comes up. But i don’t think anything should be done up and until someone is actually preaching extremism.
Bros, y’all ever feel lonely and want companionship but you don’t want to go through the effort? yeah.
Anyways did you know The Eiffel Tower can actually grow taller during the summer? Due to the heat causing the iron structure to expand, the tower can increase in height by up to 15 centimeters during warm weather!
Relationship and companionship are messy…; you see that annual divorce statistics ? Add in the feminism and the far-left that gone too left, it is a blow.

This has got to be a joke. Right?
If I heat my kukubird will it grow 15cm also? 🤓
Pls update us
I got arrested for trying to sun my kukubird in public.
That said lokap food is bussin
When you hit certain age, getting to know a strangers gotten really tough. Unless you are the type that can make friends everywhere you go.
True, missed childhood lol so much easier. Just rock up to nursery and play toys. Primary school also just chase each other.

backstory: i was in southern africa for work, and collected a couple of fallen feathers sebagai kenangan. anyway this last few days, i finally turned one of them into a quill pen, and i sketched my cat. oh! the fountain pen ink is a malaysia special series, if you’re into that sort of thing. ok, sekian.
I’m into it! Where to get the ink?
Coincidentally yesterday I unearthed my old calligraphy tools to give to my niece. My ink, my nibs, my old practice sheets… oh man brings back such nostalgia
I got link to their website in my post! Pen Gallery is also on Shopee, and if you rajin their shop is at SS2. There are three more Malaysia inks they did with Diamine Inks, I haven’t bought the newest one (Ungu Senja) but the others I did cos I can’t resist a good gimmick. Jalur Gemilang is like Manggis, but it’s deep blue with red-purple sheen. Kopi O Kaw is a nice brown that legit smells like coffee.
If u want to restock new calligraphy stuff also can I think… meracun mode
Pls don’t racun! I’ve barely used them since my wedding and I now have 1.5 kids lol. I do miss it though, so therapeutic. I will allow myself to be racuned once kids get big enough that I can safely have ink pots open without having to worry toddlers are gonna toddle and spill them all over…
Those inks you mention even just from the names are so enticing. Manggis for a purple… hngh
Buy

Hahhaha geng racun arrive dy
Am battling with diarrhea since last night, maybe i had too much dairy. Ate a croissant in the morning, eat llaollao afternoon, and a glass of milk in the evening, so now my body eject my yesterday meal without giving it a chance of absorbing energy 💀
Had anti-diarrhea pill and probiotic, hopefully it get better uhuk
So you might say you had… llaollaosai?
Electrolytes always help me a ton when my gut is off. Feel better soon!
Brooooo hahaha!
Our asian stomach kenot stand too much angmoh milk… just like their stomach kenot stand too spicy
Seriously? I’ve only met one person with lactose intolerance and she’s also got all kinds of allergies and IBS to go with.
How you guys drink tea and coffee…? I know it’s a very popular trait amongst Asians but I really think Malaysians are immune that that shit lol
Lactose intolerance is once quite prevalent in Asians but it’s becoming less common now as our diets and Western diets have mashed together
Just remember, dairy today = dairy-er tomorrow
slow clap
Is kurma curry? 🤔
Asking because Max Fosh think it is, but I disagree.A curry by the name of Korma exists in Pakistan and India, and if you search korma they all then define it as a type of curry so yeah, it counts as curry. The original tamil word karil just means sauce from the dish (that you put on rice). Trying to define curry is about as futile as defining gulai in malay imho. Like everyone who are only familiar with rendang tok style frothing at the mouth at rendang padang style made by western tv shows that one time. It’s a technique, not a specific recipe.
Though by that definition dry curries aren’t, but they are understood as curry too now.
Depends on how hard you want to fight it. Back in India they’ll argue to begin with it refers to a specific type of dish. But in a non-indian English esp in gwailoland, anything vaguely thick stew and south asian is seen as “curry”. So if you rajin you can pick a fight along the lines of cultural appropriation kot - simply2 say, dasar org putih etc etc
I mean even kari is not quite curry. Japanese curry uses applesauce. That said, not having curry powder/leaves and calling it curry still is quite tone-deaf
I read that Japanese Curry was brought from British India, was meant to feed the Japanese Navy but somehow popularised amongst the population. Kinda like Korea’s Budaejjigae (army stew)
Regarding curry powder, it’s mostly likely a blend that resembles garam masala and what not. And having said that not all curry will call for specific flavour profile.
India is a huge country with very unique cuisines, if I had to guess locals probably wouldn’t refer to their unique dishes as curry and will just call it by their name.

Yeah, so when I read their complaints about it, even the British Indians, i keep that in mind, because there’s another conversation that’s actually happening that I’m really just an observer (it’s essentially an economic and cultural preservation argument). But outside that, language IS flexible - however much I still sideeye it, Malay CKT is berkuah and Sino-Malay use of jelak instead of muak fits their respective contexts. In America an entree is the main dish but to the French that is so silly because it obviously means a starter course.
I suppose the inciting incident here (calling kurma a curry) depends very much on what you reckon would be the likely result: perpetuated by a global cultural majority (gwailo anglophones) who simply say it’s curry, it might lead to other ppl also making the same mistake, frustrating the ppl who originated the cuisine as well as ppl who’d like their Google search to not be corrupted further. If you want to take the power differential reading. That’s the only angle to me that answers why you’d feel off about it. If it’s just some rando saying a thing that’ll not be popularized by other ignorant ppl, and it’s just going to stay a silly English thing, then let it beeee
