I thought the breakfast gun went on the left side of the table?
The table isn’t set for breakfast yet.
What are you talking about? The breakfast gun is there. Table set.
/sI forgot what passes for dining in some parts of the country.
Probably AI made
Probably a la mode’
Only if you’re a lefty.
Cross-drawing at the table is rude.
No no, breakfast gun goes on the right side, what’s wrong is it’s laying the wrong way.
This guy eats breakfast safely
Clearly this is propaganda!
So from is in the left because there is for letters in left and four in fork. So what side does the gun go?
I think you might be having a stroke.
Wow, that was a bad one. User name check out? Lol
Reminds me of land o lakes butter. They got rid of the indian but they kept the land.
They ruined it!
Bart Simpson made that joke once, I think they cut it out of future re-runs because religious zealots got mad about it.
Ah, so he did! I’d forgotten about that. The first time I saw it was in a Beavis and Butt-head comic.
My dad did that in the late 70s and had it inside one of our kitchen cabinets for basically my whole childhood.
What I love, is that it was an Ojibwe woman that was illustrated by an Ojibwe. It was done out of honor and respect…
Then someone decided to get rid of her… Feel free to read into that.
This, the woman behind Aunt Jemima has a pretty progressive history as well. This just reaks of the usual problems we get from Liberal Virtue Signalling. Creating something incredibly offensive in a poor attempt to be less offensive.
Remember when Cartoon Network discontinued Speedy Gonzales because white people called the character racist, only to reinstate him when Latino and Hispanic watchers were like “Where’s the only Looney Tune that represents us in anyway?”
Some company decided to change their logo because it looks dated and might give the wrong impression. How is this even a problem?
As for liberals causing problems, yeah maybe they go a bit too far some times and can be over sensitive. But the other side is literally trying to take us back to theocracy, where women only have the rights their husbands will allow them. They’re not even pretending otherwise any more. I’ll take oversensitive over that any day.
I know, I’m not saying I support the Republicans, but the Democrats don’t actively want me dead so I reluctantly support them. However, I do ask people acknowledge the difference between Leftists and Liberals.
And the issue is that their attempt at being less racist, resulted in the erasure of black people… which is in and of itself more racist than the logo ever was.
As is tradition.
All that drama for dyed corn syrup.
Real maple syrup is better. Fight me.
No one in their right mind would disagree with your position.
I might be the 10th dentist but I grew up with the fake stuff and enjoy it far more. I didn’t understand why all of the “nice syrups” tasted awful comparatively.
On an episode of Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsay gave this chef two similar dishes, and I believe the chef enjoyed the one that tasted like instant microwave food. So you probably just have shit taste. Fortunately, once Ramsay cooked some good food up for the guy, he shed tears and loved it. There is hope for you yet.
Maple is good, but sometimes I want my butter flavored brown goop on my plain egg and bread French toast because that’s one of the two childhood comfort foods I crave to this day

I really wish someone would create a “loud honky” brand mascot…
Guy Fieri?
I came here for a sensible chuckle, not to have my fucking mind blown.
The good ol Carolina Mop and Slop.
That’s not a euphemism.
No one better fucking cancel Guy Fieri or so help me I will kick their ass six ways from Flavortown
They already made Guy Fieri bro
Some board room somewhere
Bossman "Alright team, what should we change to ensure our company is not seen as racist according to white people on twitter?
Person 1 “Increase represtation of different races and cultures across our brands?” ejector seat activated
Person 2 “Hire someone qualified to have this conversion?” ejector seat activated
Person 3 "Get rid of Aunt Jemima so people don’t accosiate our brand with black people anymore?
Bossman “brilliant! Someone get me a raise for coming up with that.”
It’s not about associating the brand with black people. Aunt Jemima was a mammy, straight out of a ministrel show. She was a racist stereotype of the loving and attentive house slave
They could have come up with a new character…instead they got rid of it all together. Just say its Jemima’s niece who carries on the recipe.
Bro my syrup doesn’t need lore.
Why not? my cereal does.
You’re a monster if you’re putting syrup on cereal!
Darrn…I guess that means I’m not a monster.
Fuck that shit, I’m all about the Breakfast Canon
No, she was an accurate depiction of actual Black Southern grandmas, both pre and post slavery. The whole “this represents slavery” thing was bullshit cooked up by white people. My 3rd grade teacher looked EXACTLY like Aunt Jemima and she made some bomb-ass cookies.
Was really confused why you would prefer plastic over glass, but then i understood what was meant by “her”.
For something slow moving and sticky like fake maple syrup, a plastic bottle will let you squeeze the syrup out instead of waiting for it to slowly drip down to the nozzle.
You can warm the bottle to make is more viscous. Old plastic bottles would make me worried about micro plastic, but micro plastic is already in all the cells in my body so I should stop caring
I think you mean less viscous? Isn’t more viscosity = more thickness?
Yeah exactly, what really makes it worth it are the microplastics!
ELI5?
The Aunt Jemima brand was changed to Pearl Milling Company due to it being based on a racist charicture. Pearl Milling Company was the name of the company before they created the Aunt Jemima brand, in the late 1800s. Upset by this change, this fellow is pouring syrup into an old Aunt Jemima brand bottle, and implicitly threatening violence against whoever would try to stop him. However, he is using Millville brand, which as far as I can tell is unrelated to the Pearl Milling Company.
Millville is an Aldi store brand. The origins of Aldi store brands are kept secret, but there’s a decent chance that it’s made by Pearl Milling
With knockoffs, it’s always one of three sources.
First is just a knock off. It’s a different manufacturer, maybe worse, maybe even better, but it’s an entirely unrelated source.
Second is factory seconds. Product that doesn’t pass brand QA for one reason or another, so they sell the lesser quality product to off-brand as a similar product.
Third is factory surplus. The brand only buys some of the product that the factory can make, so the factory keeps making more product and selling it to other brands. This is ideal for the consumer, because it is usually exactly the same product without the brand label.
You’re always hoping for the third, but usually it’s the first one. The real problem is, you’ll never know until you get the product. Generic brand names don’t have the same concern for brand loyalty, so the source or formula may change more frequently than a brand name product. The Millville syrup this week might be Pearl Milling surplus, or Pearl Milling seconds next weeks, and Parl Mowing sugar water next month.
Complicating matters is that Pearl Milling may not even own the production, and is probably sourcing their syrup from a conglomeration of farmers, importers, and intermediaries. But it’s still the same dance, just with more moving parts.
The only value a brand name has is the value the brand has for it’s own name. Once a brand decides to cash in on their name and stops caring about quality, the brand name has no more value.
It could be the very same product. It could also be made at the same factory but to aldis specifications.
Aunt Jemima as a brand was discontinued as it was based on a racist stereotype. The person in the picture is decanting fake maple syrup into an old Aunt Jemima bottle.
It’s funnier when you say it
What are you talking about? It’s not fake maple syrup at all, but 100% real SYRUP, a completely and separate product no one would ever accidentally confuse for maple syrup when they’re in a hurry at the grocery store.
Never rush your syrup choices.
A bottle of this is like $3, real maple syrup in that size container would be more like $18, so these people really need to be ignorant or stupid to get confused.
lol decanting
Right, thanks.
Read the wiki https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aunt_Jemima
Brand was discontinued in 2020 due to racial stereotyping.
racial stereotyping
The cops were targeting the syrup because of its race?
That handgun looks like a rare 1911 Commander made by Ruger manufactured in Southport, CT. Those things are not cheap.
Well one of you is wrong.
That grip angle looks uncomfortable
Depends on the person
That’s fair
I’ve fired one.
It’s not uncomfortable, but in no way would I describe it as “comfortable” for my size hand.
And if you have texture issues like my wife, the diamond pattern is like coarse sandpaper grating against you.
I prefer ergonomic grips with properly sized/spaced finger indentation, myself.
I have similiar grips on my 1911, aftermarket wood grips from some guy in Czech Republic. They feel better than the stock grips, but yah, not great.
Now the stock grips on my CZ Shadow… chef’s kiss.
The grips on mine are fiberglass reinforced epoxy resin and while I do wish they were a nice ironwood or like mesquite, they’re comfortable. Ebay special.
I’ve held a few CZ firearms, and they all feel like they were made with ergonomics in mind. The again, they’ve got the price tag to show it…
Americans and their high fructose corn syrup addiction.
It’s the cheapest sugar option in the us, so it goes in everything that’s not a “premium” brand, and even then it might still have it in there.
American manufacturers. We’re stuck with what we get and that shit’s in everything.
Most anyone you’d ask here will tell you they prefer sugar and we’ll take that option whenever it’s available and not stupidly expensive.
HFCS doesn’t kill people, it’s the cardiac diseases and cancers that do!
Last time I saw white people get this fanatical over a black woman it was because she was handing them free minivans.
A buddy of mine and I did some research into the real-life aunt Jemima.
Apparently she was a really cool lady.
The African American Registry of the United States suggests Nancy Green and others who played the caricature of Aunt Jemima should be celebrated despite what has been widely condemned as a stereotypical and racist brand image. The registry wrote, “We celebrate the birth of Nancy Green in 1834. She was a Black storyteller and one of the first Black corporate models in the United States.”
Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for the black population. She used her stature as a spokesperson to advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for individuals in Chicago.
So instead of celebrating her on the bottle, or doing something to recognize her… They go the other direction and just remove her.
Eyup, this is how you know it’s performative instead of actually fighitng racism.
Activists tripping over their own feet…as usual.
I saw news reporting about it at the time, and if I recall correctly her descendants were actually proud of her being the mascot and thought it was cool.
“Her descendants like her image being on the syrup bottles! BUT THAT’S A HECKIN RACISM!”
I know it’s all messed up and just in case I’m not ok’ing racism that’s for sure.
Reminds me of when they tried to kill Speedy Gonzales. It sure as heck wasn’t mexicans that were complaining then, we love that little mofo.
This actually came out a few days before the brand change: https://www.theonion.com/quaker-oats-replaces-historically-racist-aunt-jemima-ma-1844015205
I don’t think Mr. Butterworth would appreciate you filling his wife with your syrup.
Putting a pig in a dress doesnt change the pig
But what if you put lipstick on it
Still a pig
Unironically this, I’m sorry they want to decrease visibility of black people and call that fighting racism?
We can’t have Aunt Jemima, but Captain Crunch’s cracker ass is still joining us for breakfast?
That man has a ship and cannons, he does whatever the fuck he wants
Is that an original tanker’s 1911?!
It’s some Star model pistol, looks like a 1911 but not quite, and in 9mm.
Are you able to read the stamp, or is there some other way you can tell?
There’s some subtle differences in the frame shape and other things that I’m too dumb to articulate. The only marks I can see are import marks from “CAI” - Century International Arms, which would be strange to see on a USGI 1911.
I think this model is a Star BM, and surplus retailers were hocking these things for ~$250-300, about 6/7 years ago. I almost got one but decided against it.
Thanks! Except for the safety, it really looks like a WWII or earlier tanker’s sidearm. The shorter barrel, duck tail, hammer, wear and tear, grips, all that.
Just noticed, no grip safety, thought the backstrap looked odd.
EDIT: You’re exactly right.
