But can you consume the cake without suffering consequences?
The consequence is that there won’t be any cake left, right?
The me with cake in me is a better me than the me without cake in me. There is no suffering from cake.
One time I was promised cake if I just did a series of tests on a prototype, though the tests seemed more like they were testing my problem solving skills rather than the prototype itself.
Anyways, the cake was great, so delicious and moist.
It was overall a very rewarding experience that I recommend everyone sign up for.
This is a lie
I actually installed it this week to give it another go, this timing is golden haha
I’m trying to nudge my daughter into playing it, but I guess I shared too many other interesting looking games with the family. A Game About Digging A Hole caught her eye first lol.
My son had beaten both Portal & Portal 2: before his fourth birthday. He’s 16 now and I guess he likes cats.
Lol at that age I remember my daughter thinking Mario Kart was like a movie where you picked your character and their vehicle, then watched them race (because auto steer and accelerate were on, which is good enough to finish middle of the pack, at least for 50cc).
These days she spends most of her gaming time on Minecraft.
My son still plays Roblox at 16. And other games, but he has some friends who like to play Roblox together.
Are you a lab mouse?
Aperture Science doesn’t test on animals, all tests are ethically done on humans, of which I am one who is definitely still alive after finishing all the tests and full of cake.
Ah but you see I bike there, which means that it is healthy! Fitness is my passion.
I run often, and unfortunately it’s a lot harder to stay thin as I’m pushing 40 than it was when I was pushing 20. And by stay thin I mean stay average.
Kurzgesagt had a good video on exercise that basically talked about how, if you exercise regularly, your body basically doesn’t burn the calories the same. If you’re a couch potato and then you start to exercise, you will get a benefit, but then there’s diminishing returns from continuing to exercise, to the point your body now says “hey, this is my new normal,” and essentially burns the same calories whether you’re on the couch or exercising. There’s a lot more nuance to it in the video.
It seems we’re all doomed to just get old.
Pouring one out for all the folks out there who have to get in a car to go to a bakery
Yeah! I get baked at home!
As an adult I’ve had enough stomach aches, and gained enough belly fat, and developed enough of a palette, to viscerally dislike eating lots of cake.
The child in me screams for cake
The stomach in my adult body screams for pepto
What’s pepto?
Pepto-Bismol.
Using science to fight bad decisions. It’s the American way.
buying poison and buying medicine to maximise profit
Bismuth subsalicylate, or pink bismuth.
Yep, if I really want cake I’ll pay the ridiculous price for a single slice. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s cheaper than buying a whole cake, and I know after that one piece I won’t want anymore for a long time.
i just take breaks in my cake eating binge to binge tacos. get enough protein in there and you’re fine.
I sometimes want to do this but then I realize I can make a better cake myself.
When I was kid, I loved bananas, but my mom wouldn’t buy them because she felt they were too expensive, so bananas became even more rare and precious to me.
I grew up, got my own place, and did my own grocery shopping. I remember walking through the grocery store, and passing the bananas, thinking they were too expensive, but I noticed they were 69 cents a pound. That didn’t seem so much, so I weighed a few, and it was less that 2 pounds. I could buy a bunch of bananas for $1.50! That wasn’t so much!
So I bought the bananas. That was many years ago, and I still buy bananas almost every shopping trip. That preciousness still exists though. Whenever I eat a banana, it feels like I’m eating a candy bar.
Did you grow up in East Germany? xD
Can also bake one.
On top of probably tasting better, it’s also more fun.
Nice try cake making industry.
As a kid, you have the time but not the money.
As an adult, you have the money but not the time.
or the metabolism
It’s the metabolism one.
I could consume 4000 kcal most days as a teenager without putting on weight. That is no longer the case and adjusting has been difficult. I’d need to go near 2000 to lose weight.
Yeah, as a kid in high school, one of my go-to high snacks was an Entenmann’s All Butter French Crumb Cake (~1740 calories) and a half gallon of 2% milk (~950 calories). It wasn’t an everyday thing, but I’d house it no problem, and it wasn’t the only thing I’d eat that day. I also swam competitively, although as I’ve grown older I’ve learned that it’s essentially unrelated, and that your metabolism is just your metabolism, essentially regardless if your activity levels. I had trouble breaking 140 pounds at 5’8.
That all stopped. It’s pretty incredible how it all just stops. I’m still fairly active, but I wouldn’t consider eating more than a serving at this point, and I instead have trouble cracking 165 (except from above this time). Oh well, this is life.
I use the example in the meme a lot. As adults we’re in a post-scarcity mindset. If you tell a kid you can eat chocolate ice cream for 3 meals a day and don’t do it because you don’t want to (because you know you shouldn’t), it would blow their minds. You’re growing up when you get access to things and stop thinking “if you can” and start thinking “if you should”.
for me it’s not that i think that i shouldn’t, but i can’t. i just cannot ingest that much sugar at once, i get really bad feelings from that!
My knee swells up. Highfive, we’re old.
I started feeling like an adult when I stopped doing things just because my mother had told me not to.
The death of innocence is reaching the point where you could do that, but it wouldn’t even make you happy because of health reasons.
Forgetting is sometimes a survival instinct
Bypass that drama and eat the icing straight from the jar.
“Eat the icing from the jar” in the style of “let the bodies hit the floor”.
what’s the relevance of the car. who is selling cakes in their car? do they eat the cake in the car? is this an american thing?
option C)
Instead of “I will do such-n-such”, they have to say “I will get in my car and do such-n-such”
I had a patient who almost died from acute pancreatitis after eating 3 pounds of fudge in one sitting. So your pancreas may not stop you from buying or eating the cake, it can definitely stop you from doing it twice.
when i first moved out, i realized i could fry and eat an entire pound of bacon in one night. i found out that just because you can, doesnt mean you should. lmao
Shit, I could eat a pound of bacon while standing at the stove frying a pound of bacon.
There was a semester in college where I basically lived off fried chicken, fried potatoes, and bismuth subsalicylate. I don’t ever want to live that way again.
Gotta make that blood nice and thick.
Shit, in my fat phases over the years I would eat in the neighborhood of 6000 calories a day (I would be literally gaining a pound a day since that’s 3500 calories over my normal daily intake). It’s easy to do when you can basically inhale a box of Little Debbie’s zebra cakes in one sitting. It never really occurred to me that I was literally risking immediate death from this behavior.
Well, a pound of fudge is a bit over 2k calories, so this guy was doing 6k calories in like an hour. The dangerous part was that like over half of those calories are from fat. So what you were doing prob wasn’t great , but not likely to cause acute pancreatitis.
