Who was the greatest explorer in your world?

Basically the title. Who was the one who navigated the planet and somehow ended up on the moon, or found the lost city of golden toilet paper or something like that?

Is it better to salt a pork tenderloin the morning before or the night before cooking it?

So I'm making pork tenderloin for dinner tomorrow, and I wanted to know if it was better to spice it (using salt, pepper, and maybe garlic powder) the night before, or if doing it in the morning was enough and a full day was overkill.

Also, if it's important to know, after I spice it I leave it on a cooking rack in the refrigerator till it's time to start cooking.

Narratively, how do you describe a character's accent when the story is set in a world that's not on earth (meaning when you can't name a accent from a country that doesn't exist in that world)?

So if I wanted to tell the reader that a character has, for example, a Jamaican accent, but Jamaica doesn't exist in this world, is the only option to break the forth wall?

Anyone tried making a world based on a single supercontinent?

As you can guess, I am one of those people, and I try to ignore all the problems that come with it (like for example, the fact its center would be a desert due to lack of rain since it's so far from the sea). A lot of the time I just say "it's magic" and leave it at that. But enough about me, lets hear what your worlds are like.

How do I make my own icons so that they can be used in the Iconize plugin?

So I've been at this for a few hours and I thought I had it at one point until I didn't.

So far, my process started with using Inkscape to draw the icons on a 16px x 16px canvas before exporting them into SVG files, then I used SVGOMG to simply the code, and finally I put in fill="currentColor" at the start of the code so that the icon's color can be changed in obsidian.

It worked for a bit but than when I went to make more, it suddenly didn't. I never learned coding so all this is foreign to me and I would very much appreciate it if someone who has figured out the process could help.

What's a worse dystopia to live in: a world ruled by an authoritarian shadow government, or one run by a capitalistic plutocracy corporate ruling class.

Personally, I think option B is worse, because on the one hand, while a shadow government will manipulate society and citizens to achieve some some secret agenda, I feel like they at least want something in the direction of a functional society to make that happen. Whereas corporations will only see society as a work force and only give them the bare minimum they need to keep moving so they can continue to work for them.

It can be a part of your world's lore or just a characteristic it.

In mine, there is a lumber town that's basically if Night Vale was set in a forest like Gravity Falls where bizarre things happen but everyone just goes with it.

Like for example, on a random day in a citizen's late 20's to early 30's, a doppelganger of that person will manifest and they will have to fight each other to the death. I say doppelganger like it's a copy of the original, but it's more like the person splits into two exact duplicates of the original. And instead of wasting time on debating which is which, the townspeople decided it was faster to just have them figure it out themselves by having them kill each other, and whichever one was left standing is the original. It's like a coming of age kind of thing but without the philosophical debate on whether or not killing your metaphysical double counts as murder.

Or whether or not it's cannibalism, because another thing they decided was that the one who lives has to then eat their now dead look-alike. Yes, they have to eat them. To the townspeople, it seemed rude to just move on after mercilessly trying to unalive each other. So for the next several days, the winner will cook up and eat their doppelganger in various dished, also as a way to reclaim their other half, and it was only fair that they make sure they taste good.
