__Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Maybe Lemmy can forcibly invent a new term for "ricing". (Good faith pls)1·7 months agoHow about “pasta” then? That way it’s explicitly Italian instead. Or casserole? That actually kind of works, it’s a bunch of parts you mix together and bake to get something cool at the end.
__Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Maybe Lemmy can forcibly invent a new term for "ricing". (Good faith pls)61·7 months agoThe term wasn’t about Japanese drivers, it was about Japanese cars. They were called “rice burners” as in they were fueled by rice, not gasoline. I guess that was someone’s joke that became wide spread.
You’re right that it was sort of derogatory to refer to cars that had all their customization on things like giant exhausts, huge wheels, neon lights, rather than performance improvements.
I’ve never heard the term used to refer to the ethnicity of the driver, just the ethnicity of the car, so I don’t think it’s racist, shrug.

It kind of ruined the other brands for me now, I’ll buy them on sale and then be disappointed that I did when I eat it.
Probably not. Since the point of money is to be able to buy more and better things, there will always be a desire to have more money, even if nobody else cares how much you have.
Maybe billionaires just have faster heart rates
No, and that’s the part that makes it feel weird
