AidaP is scraping Mumsnet threads, and grading them

[BambooLampshade]

Honestly, this man is obsessed. He has now created a program to scrape and grade Mumsnet threads from this board.

What is this?

Oh yes, I have downloaded most of mumsnet and we will be doing embeddings of the content to try to understand how does the rot and hate builds and spreads.

I never had so much hate and delusion on my hard drive before 😅

Dunno about mint, but I quite fancy the charm flavoured ones.

'There are six types, known as flavors, of quarks: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom.[4] Up and down quarks have the lowest masses of all quarks. The heavier quarks rapidly change into up and down quarks through a process of particle decay: the transformation from a higher mass state to a lower mass state. Because of this, up and down quarks are generally stable and the most common in the universe, whereas strange, charm, bottom, and top quarks can only be produced in high energy collisions (such as those involving cosmic rays and in particle accelerators). For every quark flavor there is a corresponding type of antiparticle, known as an antiquark'

Antiquarkers gonna antiquark.

Yep - I did quite a bit of work in Oz for Cadbury back in the day and really didn't like the taste of their Cadbury Dairy Milk. But for Australians, that's 'their' Cadbury taste!

What was the nature of a Cadbury Stroller?

Individual raisin, biscuit and toffee, covered in chocolate. A higher class Revel, if you will!

Back in the 1970s, space rock band Hawkwind made a record about how Einstein's romantic disappointments were due to him not being down with subatomic physics.

Did none of those astronomers discover
While they were staring out into the dark
That what a lady looks for in her lover
Is charm, strangeness and quark

You don't get that kind of quality songwriting from Ed Sheeran or similar current year artists.

Marmite on toast made with thick white bread and real butter is the food of the gods.

I'm not sure where I sit ['Sit!']

This made me laugh. Thank you, Marie. Raisins aside...

(and there's an unexpected bonus - this thread's made spelling that come more naturally! - it was always a rare sticking point for me, with an unwanted "o" occassionaly creeping in before I recoiled in horror on seeing it written each time)

...I so enjoy your posts.

It is not as good as British Dairy Milk, for sure. But it is heaps better than Herschey's chocolate with butyric acid.

You're so cool, BIWI! 🤩

Yes, cultural preferences for different foods are interesting. The idea that, had I by a twist of fate been born Australian, I'd have favoured "their" (no doubt wholly inferior to ours 😅) chocolate is seriously disorientating. But I probably would have!

Occasionally.

Ahem.

I just had to look up Lucky Charms breakfast cereal in case it was a student days hallucination. How could that ever be legally sold as a food item? And how was it advertised in Ireland?

Est-ce que tu as raisonné que c'est le bon reponse?

This talk of weetabix and New Zealand reminds me of my boyfriend when I lived there for a while. He asked my why I was saying it like that cause it sounded silly. Obviously I corrected him that they are called weetabix. He said no, here it's weetbix, which makes more sense. You don't say cornaflakes do you? he asked. No that would be stupid. So why weetabix?!!! Couldn't argue with that!

I think we are best drawing a veil over American shitey-flavour chocolate, tbh.

Mais oui! J'avais raison!

Oh, apparently it's vomit flavour, not shite?

Meh.

@unwashedanddazed

You don't say cornaflakes do you?

I do now!

American chocolate, with a few notable exceptions, is bloody awful.

I like chocolate with raisins in it.

Whittaker's Peanut slabs - good honest chocolate :)

Don't forget to remove all that old cheese that you forgot to peel off before you put it away last time.

Im currently making some pottery in homage to one of our most popular chocolate bars in the 90s at work. Because they were the cheapest in the local shop.

But my favourite was always and ever shall be the Starbar.

You don’t say cornaflakes.

I once ate half a tube of those at once as I thought they were like coffee flavoured chocolate. I may have been a bit energetic after 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I used to love a caramac. Just a sniff of the wrapper.

We'll have none of that wrapper-sniffing around these parts.

Dark choc bounty update: I have exploded one bowl.

Coconutty balls now chilling in the fridge.

I cannot call the British version 'weetabix'.

If I remember correctly, the Australian version was the first back in the mid 1910s. The British trademarked 'weetabix' to avoid infringement on the copyright but this was in the 1930s.

In Australia, we not only have Weet-bix made by Sanatarium, but have Vita Brits which has changed hands quite a few times and are also made by Sanatarium.

What can I say, Aussie Kids are Weet-bix kids!
