Ever since then, the coffee lacked this undefineable "something" that had made it good...

I believe you're thinking of the story about the rice cooker with dead lizards inside.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have not heard this story before but I'm left wondering, how? Even if a lizard got into my rice cooker I'd spot it when I put rice in. There's not nooks and crannies for things to hide in.

They were underneath with the heating element IIRC.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I guess they don't wash their rice.

Those lizards provide luck, that's different.

Lemmy is filled with IT folks. Recursion was inevitable.

Exact same thing happened in my Keurig around 2012. Kerrigan stopped working, went to toss it, roaches crawl out. Gross.

how?!

I guess the queen of the zerg was just a bunch of roaches in a trenchcoat all along.

Seriously though I don't know, maybe the theories from the dark ages are true and insects materialize out of thin air.
