Reblog this Crap, Kay

making the radical claim "11 year old children should be taught how to make extremely simple food" has resulted in people making arguments like "I wasnt allowed to plug in electronics until I was 16 and I think this is super normal actually" and "children dont know what ratios are so its unfair to expect them to be able to comprehend the idea of adding equal amounts rice and water to a rice cooker" and I gotta say originally I thought maybe I was being too judgy but now I feel very secure in my opinion because what the fuck

Children might not know what ratios are in the sense of 1:1 notation, but they are more than capable of understanding 'you have to use the same amount of water and rice otherwise it goes wrong'.

In addition to this, cooking is an excellent way to teach children scaling and ratio in Real Life.

"Children don't understand-" AND THAT'S WHY IT IS YOUR JOB TO TEACH THEM????? LIKE HELLO??? THEY CAN LEARN??????

As someone who started cooking with supervision quite young and started cooking on my own (by choice) semi-regularly at 6-7 years old, I was baffled by how confusing/distressing fractions and a few other bits of math were for many of my class when we got to them.

11 years old is like 6th/7th grade dude. This is when kids start pre-algebra in my area. What are we talking about here

We can't count on everyone understanding fractions. Remember the experiment A&W did selling a 1/3 lb. burger for the same price as a 1/4 lb. burger, and it failed because customers thought they were being ripped off, and when asked why, they said "Duh, 4 is more than 3, the quarter-pound burger is obviously bigger..."

say what you will about the 90s but there were so so many women on TV with beautiful curly hair. we used to be a proper society

while they share a similar base flavor, dick tastes more umami while pussy tastes more acidic, though recent menstruation conveys an overwhelming metallic flavor that some diners object to (though i am not one of them). recommended wine pairings are

(today i learnt that if you don’t know how a post should end, just post it unfinished anyway and someone else will come up with an ending)

How do I... use this? I don't know what to do ;-;

here’s a youtube tutorial by the guy who made it

the more i rewatch twin peaks i am reminded more and more that albert rosenfield (and to a lesser extent bobby briggs, though he doesn’t quite articulate it as clearly as albert with the exception of him breaking down at laura’s funeral) is THE only character to recognize laura’s death for what it was—completely avoidable, unromantic, and caused by human evil that nobody recognized the signs of or did anything to stop

and then in the return bobby briggs becomes a cop. in some (ultimately ineffective) attempt to escape everything he and his peers went through. and his own daughter starts following laura’s path. and he still can’t stop the cycle of violence that has soaked into the soil of twin peaks

IDK it pisses me off the way people act like murderers are some sort of great puzzle to be solved when 90% of the time its literally just a boring freak that hates women

I think that if you lose an arm and get fitted for a prosthetic u should get to refer to your prosthetist as your arms dealer

And if it's a leg you can call them your footman like you're tge queen of france

Hades: I look like death. But in a good way.

"rocky would hate stratt because she hurt his bestie" plausible, even likely. "rocky wouldn't hate stratt because he understands the stakes of needing to save the actual world" nuanced, intellectually stimulating. "stratt would hate rocky because her ex wife whom she killed is happier with him" intriguing, avant-garde.

#7 billion fucking people on earth weren't enough but you'll die for the alien. sure. no yeah. sure.
