because ancient mexicans mass produced tortillas quickly by rolling the dough into a ball and then flattening it in a press.

fake as fuck, the traditional method is shaping them like that using your hands, there were no press or anything like that, the tortilla press has only been around for like 100 years for mass producing purpose. in fact there's an old saying in latam that a woman is not a woman unless she can make perfect tortillas with her hands.

Freaking mathematicians and physicists I swear to god.
In real life we use something called “approximation”. If something kind of looks like a triangle then it IS a triangle. Normal people don’t give a shit if it actually is or isn’t one.
If you take a freaking tool to measure the angles to prove that it isn’t actually a triangle people will just think that you have autism or something.

I literally have no idea what you guys call flour tortillas, I know real tortillas have always been made since ancient times using masa, which is finely grounded corn, when I hear flour I imagine the white powder made from wheat gringos usually use to make bread. making a tortilla using flour made of wheat is just round flat breads, not tortillas.

Hundreds of thousands of children are being aborted every single year. Tens of thousands of children are being aborted completely legally in 2023 in deep red USA states.
Abortion is still legal in all 50 states and almost nobody is talking about it. The pro life movement is a controlled opposition and not your fren. Please watch this approximately 15 minute long YouTube video on abortion please whether you be pro choice or already pro life https://youtu.be/XGPv66ZqlEQ?feature=shared [Open] [Open] [Open] [Open]

Over 6 billion (yes) Chickens are tortured to death every single year in the United States alone in factory farms. And no your Canada Australia or EU country isn't much better. Billions of animals are being tortured to death in factory farms every single year and it's (partially) your fault! Please watch at least the first five minutes of this YouTube video . In it he explains that people who regularly purchase chicken for years straight will almost certainly cause the torturing and murder of hundreds of extra chickens. That blood is all on your hands and would NOT have been shed had you instead decided to boycott animal products / go vegan ! https://youtu.be/brKhhZlUoOc?feature=shared [Open] [Open] [Open] [Open]

What are the conditions like in factory farms where over 96% of all animal products in western nations come from? They are mutilated without anesthetic, crammed in dirty, uncomfortable, and crowded conditions, they are artificially inseminated / raped and jacked off, they are slaughtered. Here is a free approximately 2 hours long documentary about factory farming please watch it thank you https://youtu.be/LQRAfJyEsko?feature=shared jfff
