No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?
0·20 days agoThere are two major kinds of avocado. The internet lost its shit about palta, famous for its use in Mexican guacamole. It’s about the size of a pear, with bumpy skin. Best served as part of savory dish (seasoned with salt).
The other one is bigger, rounder, and has smooth, shiny skin. Known as aguacate or abacate. Best served as a sweet dish. A banana+abacate+milk smoothie with a bit of sugar is delicious. Also eaten with a sprinkle of sugar and a squeeze of lime.
Using the “wrong” kind of avocado is possible, but requires adaptation and even then the results are sub par.
It was cold. Quite nippy.

Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•The economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastatingEnglish

That’s true. What of you used it just/mostly outlined, fully black? Like the owlbear is coming out of dense woods and behind it is a bunch of bushes that aren’t being lit because there are big trees shadowing them. That would pull the eye towards the lit bear.
You could use tropical foliage, for its distinctive features. Like adding a few leaves like that in the outline or even not completely blacked out would transport the viewer to a dense, impenetrable jungle.


Owlbears are wilderness creatures. Perhaps foliage and small fauna?
WTF? Where is the reflection of the camera?

6·1 month agoThey apply Gaussian blur followed by edge enhancement to get rid of the poison, and it works, but it does leave them with ab poorer quality image. So, still better than nothing, but nowhere near as effective.










You could have linked this this to what we can expect in Iran, but I guess that counts.
