As a result, our instance https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ got 625 new user registrations (of which 536 where accepted) in the past 24 hours! And the registrations are not abating even now. We still get like 10 new ones per hour!
I suspect this is probably the largest advertisement, for lemmy specifically, since the main reddit blackouts 1.5 years ago.
Have your own instances also seen an influx of new users?
We’d use Branston beans, but not gonna lie that looks shit hot. Would scran with a bottle of 8% cider.
I thought Heinz was the gold standard in the UK. I must try the Branston ones. Flippin’ love that pickle.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen them in the supermarket in Ireland but my sister’s visiting from the UK on Sunday so I think I’ll place an order.
I find Heinz beans a bit watery. I prefer the supermarket own brands to Heinz… Branston’s are much better and tastier, with a thicker sauce. Still, YMMV and all that jazz.
Oh, I forgot an annoying trivial issue: the Heinz cans don’t stack up well (lock into place with one can on top of another).
That non stacking thing annoys the piss out of me haha. It’s such a small thing and it’s deliberate to make the tin look bigger but it just means they’re taking up more space in the cupboard for lack of stacking or falling over if you do.
Also not a huge Heinz fan. Like they’re not bad don’t get me wrong but definitely agree on the watery-ness.
The most popular one here is probably Bachelor’s which has a thicker, richer sauce though I’m fond enough of the Lidl own brand one. That is definitely partly down to price. They’re ridiculously cheap and very decent with a fry especially if you warm them slowly to soften them.
I’ll have to try Bachelor’s beans the next time I see them, as well as Lidl’s own when I’m near their store.
Now, what’s this thread about? Oh, yeah, pirating beans. That’s it. ;)
There are two Lidl beans. The extra 10p for the ring pull one gets you more than just the convenience. :) Worth trying both though.
Yaaarrrrns.
