I'd never heard of "spelt pasta", to me the joke was he would have to spell out pasta instead of edamame

Q: What's the difference between an elephant and a dozen eggs?
("I don't know, what's the difference?")
A: Well, if you don't know, I'm never sending you to get a dozen eggs!

Good thing Sefo didn't want smelt fish...

Mmm, fish steel.

But when you put fish in a furnace, it just comes out cooked! Are you playing modded?!

Yeah, attaching a fish to your Tinkers Construct arrows makes them not slowed down by water. This is completely logical and makes sense, the in-game book says so.

But what do I know, I'm playing FTB Interactions, where I needed to perform mystical alchemy to get just the right kind of metal alloy to build steam engines, and now I have to pump oil into flowers to get the magical energy required to empower crystals mined on a planet orbiting a black hole, then liquify those empowered crystals and throw them in a fusion reactor with rare liquid metals to form a dragon-based metal, all with the goal of assembling the ultimate chicken. (And that's oversimplifying more than a few steps!)

This is why I don't play Tekkit.

'Can you just get me a bottle of milk, if they have eggs, get me half a dozen.'

'Here's your milk.'

'Six bottles? Why did you get six bottles?!'

'Because they had eggs!'

Programmer humour right there
