          Yes, but not the pre-packaged bullshit I advertised here on Lemmy. I literally made a pancit canton from scratch, and ofc I bought fresh pancit at mini-palengke nearby. lol

          Oh wait, my username is not PancitCanton.

            I literally made a pancit canton from scratch

            I presume that’s from flour, water and other stuff? Damn, that’s hardcore! Also, probably really delicious since it’s freshly made (to cook).

              I opened my fridge, at may natitira pa akong produces sa loob. Kaya napabili ako ng pancit kahapon.

                Hahahaha! Nice! I think that’s the strength of pancit (canton, bihon, miki, sotanghon, all of them!) It’s very easy to just take whatever’s in your fridge and freestyle it.

                    I actually love pancit miki that’s saucy, but not too saucy it belongs to the likes of lomi. The trickiest part of making pancit miki, though, is sourcing the noods. It has to be fresh, imo.

      I was just throwing up names around. Dir En Grey had a song called “Decadence” and they were kind of “rebels” in that they weren’t your usual visual kei band.

      It’s an old one, made back in my weeb days. I was looking to register at some forum, and at the time, I was into an anime character wearing glasses.

      From then on, I kept using it, partly because part of my identity has grown around that username, and has become disassociated from the anime character that inspired it.

      Was looking for a name for a game I used to play and checked a dictionary for inspiration. The word I checked was acacia, which led to acanthus, which led to akantha.

      When I was making my Lemmy username, I was reminded of Oshi No Ko and KonoSuba so I went with the name “Aqua”. As for the “synonym” part, I saw a Red Skull meme saying that the word “synonym” has no synonym - now I know there is actually a synonym for “synonym” (that’s poecilonym)
