Piecing
Never heard that word before. Google informs us:
Piecing is the term used to descibe the act of assembling and stitching pieces of fabric together, by hand or machine, to make a quilt block.
Apparently, "piecing" is equivalent to "snacking" in this context.
But why would having plenty of pickles and pork be a worse sin?
Probably because they're tasty. Food has to be bland, otherwise it makes you want to jerk off, everybody in the movement knows that!

@MrL
the top stairs looks like "pissing between meals" but I could be wrong"Piecing between meals"
I'm more dismayed by the fourth step: "Mexicanized dishes and pepper sauces"
The one that bothers me is "pasries".
-
The second step is perplexing as well: "Patent medicines and soothing syrup"?!
EDIT: A quick search later...:
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup was a patent medicine first introduced in the 19th century and marketed to calm small children, clean teeth, freshen breath, and relieve constipation. Its colorful advertising, including trading cards and calendars, showed happy, peaceful babies cradled by beautiful new mothers.
Unknown to parents, each bottle contained a dangerous amount of morphine and alcohol. Patent medicines were treatments that could be purchased without a prescription. They were commercially protected by trademarks and rarely ever patented. Consumers did not know the contents of patent medicines, including the ones they gave their children.
Yeah, I can see how that could be a gateway drug to eating pickles and pork.

I figured you'd be dismayed by "Rich Pasries" in the following line.

Meh. I can't eat them, even if they're spelled correctly.

Can confirm, food eating is better than sex.

@Gern_Blaanston Has anyone other than me noticed that there are apparently a lot of people who confuse capybaras and chupacabras?
That’s ridiculous. Chupacabras look like bats and are found in Mexico while capybaras look like rats and are found elsewhere. Its like people been afaird of mixing up a polar bear and a penguin.
Yes, it is ridiculous, and they are getting them mixed up anyway. Probably on the slight resemblance of the words alone, aided perhaps by the awareness of a "south of the border" association for each.
There's also a story going around reddit of a middle-schooler asked to name a mammal that lays eggs, answering "platypus", and having it marked wrong by a teacher who was looking for "penguin". That's even more stupid, but I have no doubt that it happened.

Don't snort the white stuff, it's a dangerous gateway to hard drugs like sodas, pop and ginger ale!
"Coca" is probably "Cocoa," not "Cocaine."

That's from the time when Coke contained coke and "soothing syrup" (AKA alcohol+morphine) was considered a bit less than ideal but not quite as depraved as Mexican food.

You can survive without sex (as I'm sure you know).
-
Technically you can survive without eating. Just not as long.

@Zecc said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

Technically technically men have wet dreams (nocturnal emissions) roughly every three days in the absence of sex (with one’s hand or otherwise), so your body realizes you can’t survive more than three days without sex and has sex with the air automatically to keep you going.

Too bad it's not the Asendor Montegelato — the elevator to the mountain of gelato.

Also a video with no accordions but about the actual Ascensore Castello d'Albertis-Montegalletto.

@dcon … the “one way glass”, of course, does not have two different sides. How it works is that it only lets part of the light through, which is enough to see into the brightly lit room from the dark room, but not enough to see into the dark room from the brightly lit one. So if you turn on the lights, you can be seen.

@Bulb it’s also a bad photoshop.

I thought it was a bit of both. Not only the difference in lighting, but one side partially silvered or something.

Yes, it's partially silvered, but it doesn't matter which side is which.
A person on the side that is brightly lit sees the reflection of the bright side (whether that's a room or the outdoors or whatever). Some light from the dimly light side passes through the partially silvered glass, but there's not much of it compared to the bright reflection, so it's not easily seen.
A person on the dim side sees a reflection of their surroundings, in addition to the light passing through the glass from the bright side, but since their surroundings are dimly lit, the reflection is faint compared to the brighter light from the other side, so they mostly see through the glass.

@HardwareGeek said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

Yeah. In this particular case, it's almost certainly a coating/film applied to regular glass. I'd bet that "real" one way glass is actually two panes with the reflective film sandwiched between them, for durability if nothing else.
In reality, all glass works this way, even without a film. At normal incidence, you get about 4% reflectance even with perfectly clear glass, just from basic physics. Adding any film or backing changes that number (usually up), with mirrored ones going into the 90% range for the privacy films and a bunch of nines for real mirrors. But if you took the opaque back off a full mirror and shined light on it, you always will get non zero light shining through and not being reflected.
