Very appropriate post for Shrove Tuesday !

  A strange state of capitalism that a day on which the religiously observant would use up things that could not be consumed during Lent, has been turned into an event where people go out and buy things for it specially. Which reminds me, we're out of nutella...

    Ah, the "mention religion and get downvoted" downvote...

  Coming from a country where Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Tuesday) is not a thing, thank you for explaining to us what's happening :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday

    In Sweden, it's "Semmeldagen" today - same principle. Stuff your face before lent starts.

    The rest of Europe gets some variety of carnival, mardi gras or what have you, and here in These Islands we just get pancakes.
