I’ll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was “Kitty.”
Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of “if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!” or there’s some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.
For high end restaurants, true.
However top chefs will happily buy ugly fruit and veg if they taste good.
Supermarket fresh fruit and veg is always sold on how it looks, not on how it tastes. Shoppers don’t buy ugly vegetables (except when shaped like genitalia).
This is definitely true of supermarket tomatoes, which are bred for durability and not taste. I can neglect my tomato garden and still turn out tastier fruit than the grocery store.
