Someone tell me there's a Culture world like this just because Iain M Banks thought it'd be a fun challenge

Edit: I'm turning this into a Culture thread with a screenshot of me proselytizing it to my friends

And yes I really loved Player of Games omg can someone else read it yet

I just started reading the player of games the other day. Love it!

It's so much fun, I blazed through it on vacation. I wanna play!!!!

I just finished a player of games a few months ago! Someone suggested the series to me here on lemmy (perhaps you? Lol. I never take note of screen names when I should), and I read Phlebas and APoG before I got distracted. It's so good. Like ridiculously good. Phlebas wasn't quite my speed, not bad by any stretch, I just found myself wishing for more of what there was little of and less of what there was much of, but APoG was fantastic and exactly what I was looking for!

from a topological perspective, it’s pretty uncontroversial to say that the earth is indeed a hotdog.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How about dick earth instead?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Well this earth has a lot of dicks.

I don't like that one. I think it's the wurst

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 4 points 1 year ago

In a topological sense, I have some good news…

...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

Wouldn't that be just a sausage? A hot dog also has bread.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I believe you're thinking of a hotdog bun. Different thing.

They're a natural pairing and often found together, like when we say "would you like an ice-cream?" The ice cream cone is implied.

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ah I see. I guess it's a language/cultural thing.

Here hot dog refers to the combination of the sausage with the bun. E.g. you can use the bun for making a sandwich instead and the sausage (usually a Wiener Würstchen or Frankfurter Würstchen) in a soup or together with potatoes, or in other meals.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Where I live, they would ask "cone or cup?" for the ice cream.

The tube is out there
