Can you explain the "Outlasted by lettuce" thing? I've been seeing it a lot but don't know what that means in the context of the PM resigning
(3rd time trying to answer this jesus christ)
So basically a uk tabloid- the Daily Star posted a live stream asking "will UK PM Liz Truss outlast the 10 day shelf life of a head of storebought lettuce?" She evidently did not and today, when she resigned, the livestream went CRAZY
In conclusion
Lettuce- 1 Liz- 0
#outlasted by lettuce#uk pm liz truss#not a countdown#ask response#imagine being her#embarissing#uk politics#uk pm drama#uk pm news#daily star

The EU has said we've got seven years to save the planet and all we're doing is political infighting. We've got children in our schools coming in starving and cold, and none of this is being addressed because all we are doing is talking about lettuces and who's going to outlast who. I mean, it's ridiculous. We need action and we need it now. We need a general election. (BBC Question Time 20/10/2022 )
#bbcqt#uk politics#lettuce have a general election#the tories can no longer romaine in government#she’s right though#that’s probably enough lettuce chat#the most attention the daily star has received in 40 years

for those out of the loop on british politics — a week ago a national newspaper (the daily star) started a youtube livestream of a photo of liz truss (our prime minister) next to a head of lettuce to see which one lasts longer. and you won’t fucking believe what happened next.

Shovelfolk Agriculture & Cuisine
Some common dishes in the cultures of the Shovelfolk (Astutocentaurus alluvium).
The Shovelfolk are sometimes regarded as the "inventors of agriculture" by the other native sapients. In addition to their surprisingly advanced metallurgic techniques and masonry, they have been farming for over 3 million years, countless eons before most of the other currently extant native sapients even came to be. Quite a few of the planet's most widely used crops, such as the wheat-like réhä used to make bread, are believed to have originally been invented by their people.
Shovelfolk are similar to the more cosmopolitan Fauns in that they are omnivores, eating mostly starchy vegetation supplemented by some quantity of meat, eggs, and fruit. Due to the ample supply of water and minerals offered by the Takaran River, most Shovelfolk cultures are almost obligately agricultural, relying on both the running water of the river and the fertile land on the riverbank to grow their own food. Like many Astutocentaurine cultures, there is a conspicuous lack of dairy in the diets of Shovelfolk, since none of the known animals on Athyrmagaia lactate in a mammalian fashion.
To disrupt the local ecosystem as little as possible, the majority of the crops they grow are derived from species native to the area. The most common crops in their daily regimen are réhä and hetūt, the former a grain-like species of star grass and the latter an edible root. Réhä is used in a similar manner as wheat, often being ground up and then baked to make bread, whereas hetūt is more akin to a potato or turnip and can be eaten either raw or cooked. They also use zhėgel, a more primitive, water-intensive plant vaguely similar to sugarcane, to make various simple sweet treats. In addition to terrestrial crops, they also use the mineral-rich waters of the Takara to cultivate various freshwater aquatic plants as a food source. The leaves of zhattrekekc aquaphytes are used in much the same way as the leaves of lettuce, and the seeds of secondarily aquatic hehhel plants are used as a peppercorn-like seasoning.
Although mainly farmers of locally grown produce, Shovelfolk have also been known to forage for food both near and beyond the riverbank, as well as engage in occasional trade with other cultures for more exotic ingredients. During their annual pilgrimages in search of resources, namely the metals found near volcanoes, they often either harvest (or purchase) foreign spices and herbs to bring home, including those used for medicines that cannot be found in their homeland. Those who live near the coasts often travel closer to shore to harvest sea salt as a condiment and a food preservative. When harvesting fruit, which is relatively rare in the Western Weave, they will rely on the help of allied Oliphaunts, since the only plants that bear palatable fruit in the region are enormous umbrynoids that are often too tall for the tiny Shovelfolk to scale on their own.
Unlike many other agricultural peoples, Shovelfolk do not raise livestock for meat. Their primary source of carnal cuisine is a selectively bred species of tumeofauna known locally as "mėbé." Although it is technically an animal, mėbé grows and behaves more like sessile fungi, which means it is considered a "crop" rather than a form of livestock. Mėbé is farmed underground within the warren in a special higher-humidity chamber, where it is kept fed by organic refuse. Mėbé nodes are usually either eaten raw or cooked, and are a common ingredient of more savory Shovelfolk meals. That being said, they do still make ample use of other animal products as food and resources. Their sole livestock animal, the crawpig, regularly lays infertile eggs that are often eaten as a delicacy and used to make dough, and some of their more unusual dishes are given flavor by being boiled in the animal's urine. Shovelfolk are also known to eat fish and insects, and they will often sun-dry worms to eat as a snack.

youtube
The Daily Star newspaper in the UK has started a live feed to see if the current Prime Ministership will last longer than a Tesco lettuce. (Caution: there’s already discussion of the lettuce’s gender in the live chat. And a lot of talk about gruel.) (Also, kudos to the genius who put the googly eyes on the lettuce.)
ETA: it’s got a wig too, now. :)

Hi sorry confused American. Is lettuce the name of a person and y'all are just riffing on it or. Was there an actual head of normal lettuce somewhere
Hello confused American. Don't worry, we're confused too. It's been a very strange 45 days.
The story here is that the screenshot below was from an article about our former Prime Minister Liz Truss in the Economist dated Oct 11th 2022:
People took the "shelf-life of a lettuce" remark and ran with it, to the point where the Daily Star (one of our tabloids) set up a livestream where they continuously filmed a lettuce next to a photo of Liz Truss to see which would expire first. You can find the whole livestream here:
youtube
As far as I know the lettuce started livestreaming on the 14th Oct and as you can see the lettuce did indeed outlast Truss, as she resigned this afternoon at 1.30pm. They played the national anthem on the stream after the announcement.
As an aside, the original Economist article now has this editor's note at the beginning:

The way that I learned Truss resigned is through that horrible Dean/Castiel "I love you" meme and I CANNOT stress how mad I am that I did not see the celebratory lettuce FIRST.
Look, darlin'. I don't know what to tell you here. You came to the circus (Tumblr) for news on the circus (the British government) and you're mad that the clowns (Destiel memes) delivered you the news about the clowns (once again, the British government)?
Also, for good measure, behold the front page of the not-at-all-enjoying-this-or-anything Daily Star:
#moorishflower#ask#an occupational hazard of being on tumblr in the year of our lettuce overlord 2022#is that you WILL learn major world news from supernatural memes#and/or lettuce with googly eyes
