/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>6408400
Prechopped onions? Enjoy your mediocore food.

Chopping an onion takes 2 minutes, most, if your knife is dull.

They sell pre-chopped onion?

>>6408418
walmart will sell anything, if they think people will buy it.

OP: Prechopped onion will have the majority of it's flavor gone by the time you get to it. It's not fresh, or near it. God knows what chemicals they put on there to keep it "oniony"

Also, Organic carrots? It's a fucking carrot bud. Don't waste the extra dosh.

I didn't even know that pre-chopped onions were a thing. I mean, you just cut it into little bits. It's the simplest thing ever.

Anyway OP in my experience at least you'll probably fuck up to some extent your first time making any kind of dish. You'll also be slow as hell. Treat it like a learning experience and consider what you could do better next time. You'll probably be olive garden tier after a few tries. Those kinds of restaurants really aren't anything special, if you know the basics of cooking and a little practice you can make the same quality of food and do it cheaply. For some reason food you made yourself tastes better, too.

>>6408400
>pre-chopped onions

I'll let it slide since you said it's your first time cooking but this is unacceptable. I don't know why anyone would buy pre-chopped onions.

Once you know how to chop any onion, the whole thing takes like 15 seconds so you don't have time to tear up even if it's a strong one.

Attached is the basic method for dicing. Halve it, cut the tips off, peel back the outer layer, cut lines away from the stem, cut perpendicular to the first set of lines. By keeping the onion in one piece until the final cuts, not many fumes from the juice can escape and that's what makes your eyes tear.

>>6408422
>Organic carrots
I actually try to avoid organic anything.

We tried organic. It was the entirety of human history before preservative were invented. Food-borne-illness ran rampant.

I try to avoid organic like the plague. I actually support the usage of preservatives.

Life with preservatives: Die of cancer at age 80.
Life without preservatives (organic life): Die of food borne illness before 40.

I really try to avoid organic... but I couldn't find any non-organic carrots.

>>6408415
But they'll burn my eyeballs....

>>6408430
>But they'll burn my eyeballs....
How do you know? Have you chopped an onion before?

If you're that worried wear some goggles or glasses or something.

>>6408430
Sneaky trick: Baby carrots. They're just carrots that have been cut down, but it makes it easier to get what you want.

Plus, if you don't need more than 2 carrots, it's less waste if you dont eat them normally.

Burning eyeballs is part of cooking. You use the motivation to get better at cutting them. It's life.

OK, welp, I guess its time to get started. I'm starving, and I can't eat until I cook. So... the sooner I cook, the sooner I can eat.

Imma get started now. I'll.... *think* about chopping my own onion. But I don't want to. My parents used to cook, and I remember even being like 5 feet away from my parents, and the fumes of a chopped onion would still make me cry my eyes out.

>>6408440
Take pics for posterity.

>>6408442
Will Do.

>>6408447
You fuckin noob

>>6408440
>*think* about chopping my own onion. But I don't want to. My parents used to cook, and I remember even being like 5 feet away from my parents, and the fumes of a chopped onion would still make me cry my eyes out.
useless

Sup, OP. Looks like you're doing an OK job for a beginner. What are you making?

I'm not religious about buying organic, but your conflation of organic produce and preservatives is a little silly. As is when people conflate organic with heirloom/locally grown whatever. The latter sort of make sense because they're correlated, but I digress. Carrots are one of the few things I prefer organic (besides herbs, greens, and most fruits), because in most cases you can readily tell the difference, and they aren't much more expensive.

You say your a poorfag, so I can sorta understand why you'd flock to Walmart, but unless you live in the middle of fucking nowhere, you can probably find a better and cheaper place to get produce. Places like Walmart and Trader Joes and shit are cheap, but everything is prepackaged and pretty overpriced. Unless you make a FUCK TON of sauce, you're not going to use all of those carrots and celery.

nthing the comment about prechopped onion. There's no reason to do that. There are like 1000 ways to prevent onion crying; my fave is to just stick it in the fridge like an hour before you're using it. Don't keep them in there though; they'll stink up your food.

White onion? Yellow onions are the workhorse of cooking and cheaper.

Is that a jar of minced garlic? Mince it yourself. Again, it's not hard to peel and mince garlic once you know some technique and get the hang of it.

I see you bought a knife. If you're going to spend money on one piece of kitchen stuff, that is what you should spend your money on. It's your best friend. You can get a pretty good knife for like, $30, and a great one that will last you a lifetime for $100.

Tomato stuff. You did a mixed job there. Chances are the tomatoes at Walmart this time of year taste like watermelon, so good job on getting canned. Don't bother with canned sauce. You can make a decent sauce from mirepoix, oil, tomato puree, and wine very quickly. Practice that until you nail it. It's not that hard.

those noodles are meant for soup, are you making soup, you should make a soup

>>6408485
If you're starting, prechopped/seasoned stuff is perfectly fine. They make learning the basics easier and more encouraging, and when you're comfortable w/ the basics you can make your own sauces and seasonings and such. Don't hate.

>>6408489
Fuck you you can't tell op how to live his life he can make a ditalini sandwich if he damn well pleases 🐲

Hold on guys, I need to do some dishes first. And I'm really OCD about making sure they're 100% clean and sterilized.

I'll post some pics of my work-area though.

And for anyone wondering what I'm making, check the OP post.
>http://damndelicious.net/2014/05/17/olive-garden-pasta-e-fagioli/

>>6408462
Alright, Alright, I'll chop the fucken onion.

>>6408503

>>6408489
>>6408499
Seriously, soup is great for beginners.

Throw a bunch of shit in a pot, add broth and season to taste.

>>6408495
Oh, I'm not hating for sure. I just think learning how to chop shit is pretty valuable. OP also mentioned he's a poorfag, and so if he can spend 30 cents on an onion instead of however much prechopped onions cost, he might as well (though I guess it might not be much...)

>>6408505

>>6408510
And before you ask, yes, I brush my teeth in the kitchen, not the bathroom.

It always made more sense to me. The bathroom is for showering, shitting, and getting dressed.

The kitchen is for eating, cooking, and cleaning your teeth after you eat.

I think this is basically last work-area pic. Next time, i'll just upload to an imgur album, so it doesn't feel like i'm spamming posts.

What is your cooking vessel?


Do you have any questions? I'm happy to help.

>>6408517
>>6408523
Empty fridges always look so lonely. :(

i can bake well. but i always forget how to make an omlette or a grilled cheese sandwich. this past week i learned the ways of le fromage grillé

First Procedures:
>In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well and set aside.
>Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Italian sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat and set aside.

I doubled the meat because I like meat.
I doubled the oil because I doubled the meat.

>>6408559
>i doubled the oil because i doubled the meat
unnecessary, but wont change it too much

>>6408559
double oil probably wasnt neccessary but there's good thought process behind that

>>6408559
That's too much meat to achieve any good browning. Take it out and get your pan much more scorching hot.

Working on Procedure 1 and part of Procedure 2

Added a tiny bit extra garlic, because I like garlic.
Called for 3 cloves.
I added approx 3.5 cloves.

>>6408559
How much pasta are you cooking? That pot looks awfully small. I would've used your big ass pot for the pasta.

>>6408581
You might want to slow down on adding things. as a cook you have the right to modify the recipe but theirs a reason they have a recipe in the first place. just keep that in mind

Doubled the onions. I might regret that.
Didn't chop my own onion. No time.

Burned some of the pasta to bottom of pot, because I was posting and trying to do too many things at once.
Also, not gonna peel the carrots. No time.

>>6408604

>Brony is incompetent
Surprise surprise gamg

>>6408607
That meat doesn't look like it's browning very well. Do it in batches like other anon suggested.

It seems like you need to slow down. I'd chill out on improvising too. It's one thing to add a little more garlic, but doubling the meat might fuck up the recipe.

Held Knife closer to the fulcrum point or whatever, because I like more control, even at the cost of power

It's rough on the hands.

Recipe called for 3 carrots. I'm using 4.

Are you trolling me OP?

Flipped the meat. The oil splashed and burned me a little bit.

Roughed up my fingers with the knife, and burned part of my arm flipping the meat.

I'm starting to lose confidence.

But I will continue learning. And posting.
>for posterity
As one anon said.

>>6408615
holy shit dude, what are you doing? do you have a cutting board? your already shitty dull knife is going to be even duller. why are you cutting the carrots into coins? next time you cook something, look up how to cut these things.

>>6408505
>pony strategically placed near stove
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Chopped 5 celery instead of 2

I'm fucking starving. It might be affecting my judgement.

>>6408641
That celery is chopped way too coarsely to add. Whack it up a little more.

>>6408615
this can't be real
please tell me you're fucking with us

Not sure if troll but pony and lack of him responding to anyone makes me suspicious

DON'T CUT ON THE COUNTER JESUS CHRIST

YOU'LL RUIN BOTH THE COUNTER AND THE KNIFE

>>6408641
Are you chopping this shit directly on that countertop? You are dulling the everloving fuck out of that knife like that. Also you need those about 2/3rds thinner.

>>6408615
You have the right idea, but only have your thumb and index finger pinching the blade. Hold it like pic related.

Also, buy a better knife. Kiwi is a Thai company that makes pretty decent knives for ridiculously cheap (check Ebay). The downside is is that they're made of fairly soft steel which will need to be sharpened frequently, so look at picking up a honing steel too and possibly a sharpening stone (but you probably won't need one of these for quite some time). Either buy one of those or be prepared to spend a decent chunk of cash on a quality Japanese or German knife; there's no reason to buy a mid-priced generic supermarket brand because they're almost always shit and blunt straight out of the packet.

Buy a chopping board too. Unfortunately, you can't really skimp on these things since you get what you pay for. If you're willing to drop $100-$150 on a good quality chopping board, it will last a lifetime however.

>>6408604
dont disappoint us OP

Starting to heat vegetables like instructions say;

Meat is almost finished.
Pasta is finished.

I think broth and tomato sauce and beans are going to be added once veggies are cooked

god, i take it back. please, next time just buy the prechopped mirepoix and follow the goddamn recipe.

>>6408663
son you are gonna have the chunkiest soup

Filled the measuring cup up 3 times like recipe said.

Chicken broth looks fucking disgusting

>>6408681

>>6408505
>MLP
Bye.

>>6408400
Cut back on the amount of prepared food. Make it by scratch, It'll be cheaper and you'll learn something.

My other request is to not watch girls' cartoons but we both know that isn't possible.

In you go...

I'm really starting to lose faith in my ability to cook...

>>6408697
Looks my sick bucket from middle school

OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK

I can't open this can.
I don't have a can-opener.

Fucking damnit. BRB. Taking meat off the heat. Leaving broth on super-low. I gotta go to the fucking store. BRB.

God fucking damnit.

There's WAY too much salt in this

The broth is salted
The tomatoes are salted
The meatballs are salted
The beans are salted
The sausage is salted

OP, this is why people are telling you to cook from scratch. It's just going to have a ridiculous amount of sodium otherwise.

>>6408708
He also salted his pasta water

and before you ask how I did the other can...

..the other can had a pull-thing

>>6408510
>pony

That explains how you got to this age without learning to cook.

>canned tomato sauce

If you're going to cook, do it right... This is like buying a disassembled frozen food and putting it together.

>>6408726
Fucking terrifies me.

So many people don't know how to cook these days and they think it's funny or cute but holy shit cooking is a life skill. No one would think it were funny if you couldn't wipe your own ass properly so why is it acceptable to be unable to cook?

>>6408700

You have to brown the onions and celery you gigantic pleb... Go order a pizza and go back watching ponies, i hope your parents are very disappointed in you.

>>6408707
>this fucking guy doesnt know how to use a knife to open a can. fuck you

>>6408734
They're probably just in the next room, shouldn't be too hard for OP to ask what they think of him.

>>6408733
I think the worst part is its easier than ever to learn now with all the internet resources yet people are too lazy to bother going past the first recipe and buying preassembled shit like op

>>6408505
>MLP
Cya

>ops meat is coagulating grease right now

OP should have just got out one of the ninja swords from the display he most probably has and cut open the can.

Also do you own a turtle? You seem like the kind of guy who owns a turtle.

>>6408759

He can't even perform basic human functions , how the fuck is he gonna take care of a turtle?

>>6408762
It's probably his best friend, OP would definitely take care of said turtle. He can't figure out how to shave his face on a regular basis, but he sure as hell can give his turtle some lettuce.

Time-Stamped Receipt proving this is not an elaborate troll...


...I just really suck at life

>>6408513
>I brush my teeth in the kitchen
so you spit where you prepare food?

>>6408778
Okay but why don't you have a chopping board?

>>6408779

Do you put your food in the kitchen sink?

Time to get back to cooking...


....my whole apartment smells like onion...

>this thread
i feel like he's trying to troll us really hard
nobody can be that bad

>>6408794
I think stuff like this but there are some seriously stupid people out there.

>>6408794
I thought so too until he went out and bought a fucking can opener would anyone troll this hard?

>>6408794

Well it looks like he has finally left his nest and moved into an apartment - hence the empty cupboards and lack of kitchen tools and of course lack of any kind of self preserving instinct. It's the saddest thing i've seen in a while, my 8 year old daughter can take care of herself better than OP.

Basil, Oregano, and Thyme

I didn't even attempt to measure. Just pored it in until my heart told me it was right.

>>6408785
no but i wash my stuff in there
also wash my vegetables and whatever else

and bacteria reproduces
why would anyone want to spit in their kitchen sink

This is 4chan. People commit to trolling here. Not even /ck/ is safe.

>>6408816
Shhh let him make his monster so we can watch

Just threw in the sausage and the water....

You know, this soup LOOKS horrible, but it SMELLS amazing.

Pinkie and I are betting on whether or not we'll be able to eat it.


I'm REALLY hungry. I started cooking like... hours ago. Good grief.

I hope someone is screen capping this shit

>>6408820
What is that color

>>6408820
Looks like the sort of thing that will need to be cooked down for at least 45 minutes before it's edible. Enjoy you wait.

God...

The saddest part about this is... you're all right. It looks more like a troll than anything.

But I actually was trying to make a legitimate meal that I'd like to eat.
That feel.

I think i've finally added all the ingredients. Give me a moment to re-check the recipe.

>>6408801
Definitely a troll. This fucking confirms it.

>>6408820
that looks nothing like the pics in the link.

Alright. We're not done.

We need to let it cook down, like the one anon said.
Just like mamma would do.

Then we need to add [pic related]. Pasta and beans.

I turned up the heat from a 1 to a 3. (it was on super-low because I was shopping, remember)

>>6408838
you changed everything about the recipe, and ignored all of our advice. what did you expect?

And to the brony haters:
Pinkie has been with me the entire time.

I actually think its funny people would still flip their shit because ponies. It's been like four years. I woulda thought people would be more mellow about it now.

But thanks anyway, for the laughs.

>>6408854

B-b-but anon the pasta will be dry and shriveled up by the time you can add it... Why?

>>6408854
>I turned up the heat from a 1 to a 3. (it was on super-low because I was shopping, remember)


so it didnt cook at all?
welp

>>6408856
I didn't have time to read everyone's posts. I was too busy cooking.

I figured I'd go back and read everyones posts, from the beginning, after I sat down and started eating.

Don't worry guys, I'll read every. single. post. (including re-reading my own)

I'm obsessive like that. Whenever I post in a thread, I lurk every single post, until the thread 404s.

Oh god that meat looks terrifying

>>6408883
gotta get your mise en place, bro. it'll make shit go by quicker.

>>6408859
Do you really not see the issue with putting any sort of stuffed animal on your fucking kitchen counter as you cook? First off, it shows how unstable of a person you are that you need reassurance or comfort. Second, if you actually valued your possessions, you'd know that's a good way to get it filthy. Third, it's the same shit as taking a picture with money or guns in the frame, it's just an attempt to get attention about whatever it is. Overall, people were chill about it, the focus was more on the trainwreck that you consider cooking. If you're 18 or older, I really do feel embarrassed for you. Judging by your fridge contents, I doubt you are a fully functioning independent adult.

>>6408604
why are you so pressed for time

is mommy going to come home soon and beat you for leaving the basement?

>>6408883
>taking this long to cook that abomination

This whole dish could be made in the same amount of time it takes to cook your liquid down to the desired level. Also I hope it tastes good because you're going to have a truck load of left overs.

Also
>those huge chunks of meat

Did you miss the part where the recipe says to crumble that shit up as it cooks?

>>6408894
He had enough time to run to the store to a get a can opener though but not enough to chop a fucking onion

Just, ya know, pointing out that modern medicine and education play a large role in life expectancy, not necessarily pesticide application.

>>6408892
welcome to 4chan you fucking filthy casual

It's starting to get kinda darker.

The pictures don't do it justice. But trust me, the whole soup is starting to look darker.

Not sure if this is a good sign or bad sign.

>>6408914
Just add in about a tablespoon of salt and it'll go back to the right colour. It might take a little more.

Also, if there are any
>brony scum
lurking this thread, this was what I was listening to pretty much the whole time I was cooking:

(I have wireless headset)

I just love hearing her voice.

I'm also debating leaving out the beans. I don't really like beans. Even when in olive garden, I always thought they should at least use half the beans.

I really just wanted this soup for the broth, meat, and veggies

But no beans. I hate beans. I don't even know why I bought the beans.
I might throw half a can in there. Just so it's close to the original recipe. But I really don't like beans.

>>6408914

Another Status Update.

>>6408940
you might wanna leave it covered anon

so, you know, it actually cooks

>>6408940
And after stirring it: [pic related]

This is really exciting. I think I actually like cooking. There's something about not eating the moment you get hungry, but rather, slaving over your food for over 2 hours, watching it grow and develop...

I think this is going to be the most meaningful meal i've eaten in 3 years. Because I made it myself. I'm so happy.

>>6408926
Did you remember to get garlic bread to serve it with?

If this cooking adventure doesn't work out will you try again? Or will you go back to eating chickie nuggers and mountain dew for every meal?

>>6408942
I've been covering it. I just take the lid off so I can take a picture.

>>6408944
I'll keep trying. My parents would be ashamed that I waited until I was 21 to start trying to learn to cook.

My parents have been trying to teach me to cook since I was 15 years old. I was never very receptive. Course I moved out at 18, so the lessons kinda ended there. And I haven't really even made an attempt to cook in 3 years.

>>6408949
You are fucking 21 and this is what you can do? Depressing. I would be more sympathetic but you've listened to no one's advice.

>>6408955
I was busy cooking!

I asked for the advice BEFORE I started, because I knew once I got started, I wouldn't have time to read each person's posts. I was busy cooking.

I'll go back and re-read the entire thread later.

>>6408949
you take the lid off you lose the steam you fuck up the cooking

>>6408957
how did you expect us to predict you'd be doing horribly stupid stuff

>>6408957
No one is going to assume you aren't going to use a cutting board or have the foresight to know your dumb ass is going to hold the knife with several fingers curled around the blade. You've stopped several times to respond to posts and still ignore people telling you to follow the recipe before changing shit. Yet you've changed shit every step of the way.

>>6408957
You have the skills of a child and I'm not exaggerating I'm honestly surprised you didn't burn !ore than the pasta no one could have been prepared for this

>>6408957
You've ignored all advice as far as I could see, even the stuff that came from before you started like... chop your own fucking onion. People even posted how to cut the onion to reduce your whiny baby tears. Have you been tasting your soup as it develops to see what it needs? You do know to taste your food as you make it to adjust for seasoning, right?

Of course you don't, and if you did you probably would have tried raw ground beef to see how it was coming along.

hey OP, great that you're making the effort for cooking for yourself, you'll save a lot of money in the end and will develop an incredibly valuable skill - in addition to making delicious meals!

here's some things you should consider doing in the future
>buy a cutting board
a good wooden cutting board is a must - allows you to master basic knife skills like dicing and rocking chops - you can dice an onion, mince garlic, etc at home far more easily than on a countertop, you can disinfect it far more easily than with a countertop, and it won't damage your countertop or your knife
>buy a good knife and learn how to sharpen it and hold it
having a sharp knife makes a world of things easier, from cutting onions to shredding cabbage. learning to sharpen and maintain an edge is an essential skill, it's worth investing at least 50 in a good knife and learning how to sharpen it
>do prep work before you begin and clean up as you go along
makes cooking a far easier process, and means you don't end up with a mountain of washing up at the end of the meal. chop veggies, measure out wet and dry ingredients, and everything else BEFORE you start cooking, then you won't burn stuff or mess up any other aspects while cooking because you were cutting vegetables

also, stop watching MLP, you're a fucking adult

>>6408960
OK, [pic related] is my last peak.
I'll let it cook now.

>>6408963
*shrugs*
You guys are the chefs. Thought you'd be able to anticipate any mistakes I might be inclined to make.

And you guys are all taking this thread really seriously. While I wasn't deliberately trolling anyone, and I really wouldn't say I was trolling at all.... But at the same time, I did this partly for the lulz. (and partly because I'm starving as shit)

I did this for funz. I knew it was going to be terrible. That's why I created the thread in the first place. I knew it was going to take me a while to learn to cook, and I wouldn't get it perfect my first try.

Everybody just calm down and laugh. It was a fun day.

>>6408976
you fucked up, cut your fingers and burnt yourself
how the fuck is that "fun"

>>6408979
What do you expect from a guy who watches a cartoon for 10 year old girls?

>>6408976
He was fucking with you. You need to reduce the heat, skim the foam, and learn to stir your shit periodically. It looks like you didn't stir the pasta at all as it boiled. It also looks slightly undercooked and is probably cement now if it hasn't been added yet, or mush if it was added before you kept boiling the piss out of your soup. At least all of this extra cooking will make those giant chunks of vegetable edible.

>>6408979
I'll give you a hint:

You guys and your reactions helped make it fun. It wouldn't have been nearly as fun if I had been in there
>forever alone
Just cooking away.

But instead, I was posting, you guys were shitting your pants, and it was just... all so much fun.

I regret nothing.

I knew the minute I decided not to peel those carrots, that things were going to be interesting.

Also, I didn't wash the celery. There was some dirt on it, just a little bit, but I threw it in there anyway.

Sometimes you just gotta eat a little dirt. It's good for the immune system. My mother has an auto-immune condition brought on by an untreated hormone problem that went on for 20+ years. She thinks I have the same hormone imbalance, and could very likely get the same condition, if I don't do something about it. So little things like exercise here and there, eat a little dirt if the veggies are dirty, things like this help prevent auto-immune conditions. Hopefully I'll be healthier when I'm an older adult.

>>6408993
showing how insanely incompetent you are is fun just because people call you out on it?
you really need to get your 'tisms checked out, it's probably a serious mental illness at this point

Holy hell. Should I turn the heat down?
It's been on '3' this whole time. But I guess its just been getting hotter and hotter, and now its boiling like crazy.

>>6408997
Not like he's going to listen anyways.
>>6408999
See?

>>6408927

scum. happens whenever you make a broth.

Guys, this shit is starting to look and smell really fucking amazing.

Maybe I didn't fuck up so bad afterall. It just looked shitty earlier because it wasn't done yet.

>>6408999
Turn it up or leave it alone it'll get cold too fast if you don't let conduct at least 20 more minutes

>>6408999
Mate you might as well just serve it up. It's not going to reduce with the lid on like that.

Add your pasta in, skip the beans if you don't want them, let the pasta get warm in there for a minute or so, then dish up.

Just to be clear when you serve food you don't ladle it out onto the counter top. Get a plate or a bowl and serve it onto that. Eat with a fork or a spoon or both.

If you'd like to have a drink with your meal then make sure to use a cup to prevent the liquid from going everywhere.

>>6409007

every long-simmered/reduced sauce or broth starts out looking like shit and then becomes dank as fuck after a couple of hours.

i'm sure your soup will be tasty if the seasoning is on point.

don't crowd the pan when you fry meat, learn to control your heat better and learn knife skills.

>>6409009
Nice save bro wouldn't want op to accidentally scoop it from the pot to his mouth with bare hands

>>6409016
Covering all my bases. OP has demonstrated acute levels of stupidity thus far.

ALSO OP DON'T PUT YOUR DICK IN THE SOUP IT'LL BE REALLY HOT AND WILL BURN YOUR SHIT

>>6409033
But this thread is for teh lulz and teh funz. Didn't you read?

>>6409039
Its all lelz and funz till op is in the emergency room with soup dick

Shit you guys, you all had me thinking I'd done a really terrible job.

I just had a couple spoonfuls. This shit is good. I don't know what all you guys are complaining about, but this is really good.

If only I could give you guys a bowl. If you could taste this, you probably wouldn't be giving me a hard time. This shit is good.

I decided not to throw any beans in there at all.
I don't regret this decision.

>>6409045

/ck/ in general does a terrible job of judging how a dish is gonna taste if the presentation is unattractive.

>>6409045
Fuck. I started eating faster, and I forgot to blow on one of my spoonfuls.

I think I just scalded the back of my throat.

>>6409045
Good for you next time do some prep take advice from this thread and make sure you have all the tools you need
Who knows maybe in a few years you'll quit obsessing over cartoon horses and cook for your girlfriend probably not though

>>6409045
No one was whinging about how it would taste. We were losing spaghetti over things like you cutting up your veges on the countertop and using pre-cut onions when it would have been cheaper, easier, and approximately only 10 seconds slower to simply cut them up yourself.

>>6409045
>dat kiddy pasta
>those horribly unevenly chopped vegetables
>that awful, vomitty looking sauce
nope.avi

>>6409052
Will Do!
*salutes Mr. Chef*

>>6409055
That, and considering he lives on frozen food/fast food, no one cares what he finds tasty. The manchild probably urinates pure Dew.

Also, yesterday, I didn't eat breakfast, or lunch. And it's 2 am and I'm just now having dinner.

The fact that I didn't eat for more than 24 full hours could be partially why I think this stuff taste so good. I've found over the years, the longer you wait to eat, the more you'll like things you wouldn't normally like

Like mushrooms. Can't stand the sight of them. But if you don't eat for 24 hours... then suddenly they're not too bad.

I still think it taste pretty good, though.

>>6409074
>doesn't like mushrooms
>likes ponies and mountain dew

Do you own any of the following:
a) set of ninja swords bought cheap that come with warnings not to even swing them
b) trench coat
c) fedora(s)
d) flesh light
e) a book that's something like 'Pick Up Artistry For Dummies'

>>6409074
You might have an eating disorder

>>6409082
He has a manchild disorder.

More like I have an energy problem.
Which leads to a perceived 'laziness problem'.

I used to treat my energy problem with amphetamines. But my parents convinced me to quit. They think I'm a drug addict.

Now I can hardly get out of bed on some days. I nap all the time. And I just generally don't do much.

I got fired from one job. I just did well in an interview, and think i'm about to have a new job. But I wonder how bad my performance is going to be, because I don't have the drug to treat my energy problem.

You know its real, when you're literally starving, but you procrastinate making food because you're 'too tired' to make it.

These last few hours have been the most active hours of my entire day.

When on amphetamines, in my daily exercises, I was power-walking 8.2 miles each day, with a 40 lb vest on.

Now... sometimes I struggle to power-walk 1.5 miles, WITHOUT any weighted vests on.
My energy is being completely sapped.

It's the most bizarre phenomena. I haven't lost any muscle mass, but it's like... like the energy just isn't there. Like the muscles are useless because I just don't have any energy.

>>6409121
I 💗 your blog

>>6409121

That's because you're malnourished, start eating normal food,stop drinking sodas and stop buying prepackaged shit filled with preservatives you can easily chop up and prepare yourself.

>>6409121
you're malnourished op. stop eating junk and start eating real food. and drink water.

>>6409130
>>6409135
I'm not malnourished. I normally eat quite a bit.

And I only drink soda when I dont have any amphetamines. When I have the drug, my 'taste' for soda sorta fades away, and I have no problem drinking water all day. But whenever I run out of amphetamine, it's like... this craving develops, and I start chugging down the sodas again.

I just have an energy problem. And one day I'm going to die, and my parents are going to find out that I wasn't a drug addict, but in fact, the drug was treating something.
I'm so tired. I'm so god-aweful tired.
I think i'm going to bed. I'll review this thread in the morning.

Also, I take a vitamin with my food every single day. Trust me, I'm not malnourished.

>>6409121
That's because your diet is shit. Cut down on carbs like pasta and bread and shit like that and eat more meats and vegetables. Your energy levels will increase with a balanced diet. And stop drinking soda, switch to water, iced tea, or something else that isn't packed with sugar. You might also have a hormonal imbalance, you should check with an endocrinologist.

>>6409146

Malnourished doesn't mean that you don't eat enough it means that the food you eat isn't supplying you with the needed vitamins, fats and minerals you need to keep your body functioning properly, also amphetamines give you the illusion of energy that's why when you come down you feel like shit and have no energy, eat healthy, stop using amphetamines and your energy will come back.

>no "wa la!"

shit thread

>>6409146
>I'm not malnourished. I normally eat quite a bit.
It doesn't matter how much you eat when all you eat is fast food and frozen garbage. Your fridge/pantry was just sad, because I can only imagine what you're (not) putting into your body. A vitamin isn't going to fix unhealthy eating.

>>6408400
>prechopped onions
wut

>>6409146
i didn't say you didn't eat enough, i said you are malnourished. if all you eat is junk food you are getting virtually no nutrition in your diet, regardless of how much you eat. a single multivitamin isn't going to do shit to help either, as your body probably can't even absorb that properly. but hey continue with what you've been doing, sounds like it's been working great.

>tfw no Barney anon to call out this Barneyfag

He's a warrior with a Knightly duty to call out all Barneyfags

It really doesn't surprise me at all that OP tried to use spoilers in one of his posts. He probably came straight from /v/ to do this shit and is going to go straight back after.

>>6409121
wait, then who pays for your apartment rent if you're not working

He's not malnourished, he's probably depressed or just a speed user experiencing the usual withdrawal symptoms. Hypersomnia, dysphoria etc.

Carry on forcing yourself to cook OP, regular old willpower will come back to you eventually.

>>6409454
Good job OP. You tried. Now you can work on improving your cooking skills.

Op here, just woke up.
I left the soup on '1' all night. I just turned it back to '2' so it can really start warming back up. Gonna have it for breakfast.

>>6409445
I haven't been unemployed a whole month yet.
But I might have to ask my parents for some money, because even if I do get this job, I won't have been working long enough, to have made enough money, by the time its time to pay rent.

>>6409519
Have you seen any of the show "Supersize vs Superskinny"
Typically both sides of the scale are undernourishing themselves, the skinnys typically by not eating enough, and the supersizes by not eating anything good.

It's helping me through some eating issues I have with myself. Especially with dealing with withdrawal, you're going to want to fill your body with good foods so you can have energy again the natural way.
The meal you posted last night was hefted up with meat, but at the same time it's a good step in the right direction.
Check out an episode or two, they're all on youtube.

>>6409519
Just saw this thread OP. I'm up for a bit of hand holding if you have any questions that were not answered in the thread.

>99 % fat free

Please post again the next time you cook something OP. I for one would enjoy following your adventures in cheffery.

>>6408430

No surprise that the guy who buys pre-chopped onions at wal-mart and thinks the olive garden is the pinnacle of fine dining is the same guy with strong, angry opinions about how organic food is for hippies.

I wonder how so many people manage to go on with their lives eating such shit. Just looking at those ingredients disgusts me.

>>6408422
What does it being a carrot change in whether it's organic or not compared to anything else?

>>6409742
>Burning your eyeballs when you can pay a few extra shekels to be spared the unpleasant sensation

> thinks the olive garden is the pinnacle of fine dining
Assumption. I said nothing to indicate this.

>angry opinions
another incorrect assumption you've made about me.

No matter which board you're on, it seems 4chan will always be 4chan.

By the way, guys, this shit has literally been cooking all night while I slept, and all morning.

I had another bowl for breakfast. The veggies aren't nearly as crunchy anymore.

>>6409822

>unpleasant sensation

Sharpen your knife and run it under cold water before cutting the onion - crisis averted. How dense are you really? The onions sit there whole day or two and they lose nutrients and flavor because of that dumbass... also the the jarred minced garlic also is flavorless shit filled with preservatives. But please do go on with your life but then don't bitch about not having energy because you eat like shit.

>>6408430
holy shit i can't breathe.

>>6409845
The cold water trick doesn't work. My parents always tried every trick in the book. You can't do anything to keep the onions from burning your eyes.

I'm heading back to walmart to see if I can find a mixing bowl for $3 or less. If I can... We'll make one more thing in this thread.

>>6409822
No matter which board you're on, it seems OP will always be a faggot.

>>6409822
I correctly assumed you're a raging faggot.

>>6409822

You sound like a massive bitch

>>6409837
You gonna have it for dinner again? You should make some croutons.

>>6409857

Please stop defending your incompetence, the only way you can burn your eyes while cutting onions is with a dull knife or well judging by your carrot cutting i can safely say that you're just retarded and can't do simple tasks... I'm chopping onions every single day and i can't remember the last time an onion has burned my eyes.

>>6409857

If any of you faggots can guess what I'm about to make, I'll give you shell access to one of the servers I bought the other day.

Or I'll make you a website or something.

Rules: You have to make the guess, before I post anything too revealing. I'm about to clean up from yesterday, so I'd estimate you have 20 minutes to guess.

Hint: This item adheres to my personality, and there are other indicative items in my previous posts, that could serve as a hint to what i'm about to make.

>>6410002

>>6410013
Even closer, but still not technically correct.

>>6410002
>not technically it
Not that Anon, but I knew you'd pull this shit. You're going to say that it's a specific kind of pancake/flapjack/whatever the shit to avoid being called out almost immediately.

>>6409880
This. I could shove my nose into what I've chopped and it wouldn't burn my nose. Unless your knife is so dull that you are crushing the onion, it won't put off enough of anything to make you even notice.

>>6410017
>You're going to say that it's a specific kind of pancake/flapjack/whatever
Actually no. If anything the
>pink pony cake
was too specific.

Like I have the time to make a pony cake.

If 'cake' had been correct, then i'd expect the answer 'cake', not 'pink pony cake'.

But 'cake' is not correct. Even if its very, very close.

I'll go ahead and divulge that what i'm gonna make is something you'd find in a bakery. Cmon guys, this should be easy.

>>6410016
I seriously hope you're trying to make something leavened. Enjoy your gluten brick.

>>6410027
>something you'd find in a bakery

A penis shaped cake that you'll cram up your ass?

>>6410031
Close, but no.

You guys are definitely closer than you think you are. You're in the right class of food.

Alright. Last hint. You'll probably get it within seconds because of this hint.

This is not a specific kind of cake. This is a category of cake. It has cake in the name. But this is not a cake. At least, not in the traditional sense.

It is related to pinkie's personality.

If you can't get it after this hint, god have mercy on your souls.

Aw, man. I would have stayed up if I knew I might see a brony cut off his fingers or burn his house down.

I'm just glad none of that happened.

Because I would have missed it.

>>6408505
>fluttershy mai waifu

>>6410036
Its OK. You might get another chance. I'm about to make something else.

>>6410035
God, just fuck off.

>>6410027

Aww yeah OP is gonna bake now, i thought i wasn't gonna drink today but goddamn now i have to get some booze.

Can you guys really not guess correctly with all the info i've given you.

It's no fun if no one ever makes the correct guess.

Last hint. Good lord.

The correct answer is:
'...-cake'
Again, this is not a specific kind of cake, as in, its not going to be like 'carrot cake' or 'red velvet cake' but rather, this is a category of food.

Pinkie.
Pinkie.
Pinkie.

Not much else.

There's one kind of cake you're forgetting.

>>6410064
BLACK PENIS

>>6410070
Well, in your case
>Oil cakes
because you got a nasty ass powdered mix instead of the ingredients to make it fresh. Do you realize how easy it is to make frosting yourself? It's no more difficult to make a basic cake from scratch than use a boxed mix. You fucked up.

Oh wait, I realize what you're making now. You're going to make a dump cake and pour your nasty ass Dew all over it.

OP, wind your fucking neck in.

Mini-cakes. Mmmm, I love mini-cakes.

The correct answer was:

'Cup-Cake'
or
'CupCake'

I would've also accepted the case-insensitive variants.

>>6410055
>What is the name of that one fanfic

I would say something with muffins but "-cake".

>>6410081
Please just go the fuck back to /v/

Cupcakes are portion-sizes, not a category of cake. Cupcakes can be made from several different actual cake styles.

Keep this faggot out of /v/.

Make him go to /mlp/ or /lgbt/ or something.

>>6410089
OK well sorry Master Chef that I didn't say it the technical way.

You gotta remember i'm a normalfag who's not really a real chef. I'm gonna think the way a normalfag thinks. And I'm pretty sure most non-chef normalfags would call 'cupcakes' a category of cake. (even if they're not technically correct)

Sucks that nobody guessed it. I was legitimate about the prize. Just ordered a Lenovo ThinkServer, HP Proliant, and Dell PowerEdge the other day.

>>6410112

>1.25 cups water

I know you can't really see the 3 eggs all that well, but they're there.

I'm probably going to try to make it go quicker this time. This thread just isn't as amusing as yesterday. I can't tell if its that you guys are being even more of a stick in the mud, or if it's me, and I'm just not in a very good kind of mood today.

But regardless, my amusement is fading.

Whisked the ingredients.

Greased the tin an extra bunch since I forgot the paper cupcake liners.

Starting to ladle that shit in.

Forgot to pre-heat oven. Gonna do that now.

>>6410138
Oh lawd, have fun cleaning that up.

>>6410138
I think your here at the wrong time m8 this board isn't always as quick around these hours

When the oven pre-heats to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, I'll stick these guys in for like 25 minutes or some shit I don't even know.

I've only been awake a few hours, and I'm already exhausted.
I have a feeling today is not going to be a good day.

>>6410144

Shut up and go buy some oven cleaner. You also need to clean your fucking range and not leave things filthy all night, you fucking slob.

>>6410149
I'm not that seasoned in cakes but that looks like an imminent disaster.

>>6410156
I actually normally keep my place spotless.
http://imgur.com/a/LrfDG

Whenever I get amphetamines, I get crazy-obsessive about exercising, keeping my place really clean, and things like that. That's part of why I didn't have any cooking equipment. Every time I get the amphetamines, it's like my personality changes a bit, I become an extremist, and I purge all non-essential items. Including cookwear.

But whenever I run out... it's like being dead. I sleep all the time. Eat a fuck ton. Start showing up late to work. Stop keeping my place clean. Start having bad performance in my exercises, or skip them entirely.

Life without amphetamines isn't worth it. I can't wait until my next prescription.

>>6410149
This gonna be good.

>>6410164
Where are your things? This looks like a serial killer's house

>>6410149

OP you're the best and the worst thing that's happened to this board in a while... Also where did you apply to work? Who would hire a pony loving, borderline gay, malnourished, speed head, man child like yourself?

>>6410175
>Where are your things?
That's the point.

To not have anything.

Each time, I get closer and closer towards the end goal. Which is to truly have nothing left, but the bare minimum essentials needed to survive.

I've spent most of my life as a hoarder. I keep trying to get closer and closer towards the opposite: Immaculate minimalism. The complete purge of all non-essential items.

I've been exempting some things, like my computer, Pinkie Pie, and a few furniture pieces.

But in the end, they, too, will eventually be purged.

>>6410187
Like I'm going to tell you that shit. (or anyone on here)

If you successfully manage to dox me somehow, then congratulations, you've made me more miserable for the sake of having fun.

But if I can help it, I'm going to try to prevent you guys from getting the necessary information to, say, call my future boss and tell him all the reasons you think i'm a bad candidate.

Yea fucking right, like I'd tell you who's going to hire me. You'd just call them and make sure to ruin it for me.

I'm not a complete idiot.

>>6410198
>I'm not a complete idiot.

>>6408943
Keep at it OP, you can only get better.
Three things though, always keep pot and pan handles sticking outwards, keep all flammable objects, like your toy, away from the oven, and invest in a cutting board. It's never too late to learn a skill, and cooking is one of the best you can have.

>>6410198

I was just asking the field of your work not the exact location or your boss' name anon... Trust me you're already miserable enough and it's pretty entertaining... why would i want to jeopardize good entertainment? I just wanted to know what could a person like you do for a living.

>>6410164
> sleep all the time. Eat a fuck ton. Start showing up late to work. Stop keeping my place clean. Start having bad performance in my exercises, or skip them entirely.

That's practically a list of amphetamine withdrawal symptoms. You need to stay off that shit for good and stop lying to yourself that that's how you naturally feel without it. It'll get better.

I was an assistant IT guy, but got fired for being late like 20 times.

I also discovered sitting at a desk all day only compounds my energy problem.

I'm trying to get this job as the maintenance guy at an amusement park. I want an outdoor job, preferably manual labor. To help me get in shape.

I'm not miserable when i'm on drugs. And some of the times that I'm not on drugs, i'm not miserable either. It's about 50/50. Some days are good days. Some days are bad days.

>>6410218

I contradict myself often.

Can't agree with myself from day to day. I do something, then I undo it. Then I redo it. Then I undo it again.

You don't seem like a bad guy to be honest but you have to understand that your lack of basic shit and ponies and thinking that you have an energy problem when it's really drugs and malnourishment is pretty funny, i would blame it on your upbringing.

I will never become a complacent amerifat, who drives there cars everywhere, and refuses to walk. Who always clamors for the closest parking spaces, and wonders why they're fat. Who refuses to do anything but sit in front of their tv. Who drinks and is stupid.

Amphetamines... are the only freedom I have. Because I'm no different than the people I'm surrounded by. Everytime I run out of drugs, I fade, and become just like... everyone else. A failure.

I will not continue to live like that.
I'd rather die of amphetamine addiction, than to... embrace everything I hate about myself, and others.

>>6410261

Let me guess... your favorite movie is Fight club. You're just like everybody else OP, you have your name on your lease, you do a shit job , and you hate yourself hence the drugs you use. For gods sake you eat pre packaged foods and watch childrens cartoons and somehow have the idea that you are better than other people? If anything you're worse than most amerifats.

>>6410261
That's a false dichotomy. You can be a minimalist and still have energy and enjoy life. You can even have your ponies. I mean, I don't get it, but who cares? But I doubt even you'd admit that getting fired for sleeping in 'cuz you're busy crashing on speed is a lifestyle worth "preserving".

>>6410276
acknowledging that you you will throw away your can opener when you get your next drug doses scheduled does not sound like it is "helping" you in every way.

>>6410276

Oh OP you're just a delusional hypocrite, at least you don't live with your parents i'll give you that, but it's time to grow up.

>>6410277
I AM better when i'm on drugs! Not by much, I realize that. But I am at least slightly better when on drugs.

But when I run out of drugs... you're right. I'm normal. Completely normal. Just like everyone else.

Look around. Do you like what you see? Do you like yourself? You shouldn't. It's all horrible.

My god. Why do we even still eat and cook? We need to invent a more efficient nutrient-transfer system that'll just directly inject the nutrients into our bloodstream.

Cooking is barbaric, and inefficient.

Why do we allow ourselves to live like this?

>>6410276

Oh man, reminds me of philosophy-chan who was on here a few weeks ago ranting about the same thing.

Cooking is fun, and eating is enjoyable. Sorry, OP, we have bodies and live in a physical world. And that world is sometimes bad, but I like it for the most part.

And with that, I'm gonna go for a walk. It's a nice day outside.

>>6410261
You do realize that you are still hoarding digitally, right?

>>6410298
When on drugs, I manage to:

Get in shape. And keep my exercise regimen far above average of the typical amerifat.

Keep a completely clean place. So free of possessions, even the most OCD neatfreaks would have to yield to my cleanliness.

And I manage to hold a job, and usually do pretty well.

The problem is what happens when I RUN OUT of drugs. Not what happens when i'm on them.

>>6410292

Are you serious? Cooking is an essential life skill every man should have... What would you do if shit hits the fan and the whole system falls? Try to salvage canned beans? Cooking = survival, i have no idea how kids today have decided that cooking is useless. And no i'm not happy with myself but i make the best of it and actually life is pretty amazing when you know how to take care of yourself and other people and be an efficient human being who wouldn't even be fazed when forced into an extreme situation, can you say the same for yourself?

>>6410309
You know, other people just use willpower to do those things. You're capable of being the person you want to be under your own steam, but you need to push yourself out of your current frame of reference.

>>6410309
You could've done those things without them easily if you didn't get addicted in the first place dipshit

>>6410303
In the end, that, too, will be rectified.

>>6410302
You're right. It is a nice day outside. And I'm just wasting my time trying to explain my philosophies to an unreceptive crowd.

some talk therapy would accompany your desire for prescriptions very well. Too bad it's easier to find a pill-doc.

and emptying their apartment (for all kinds of reasons) is something that druggies do. The most needled-up crackhead will also say that they only have problems when they are out of drugs, not when they are on them.

Feel better, noob-op. Try to keep your doses low and make sure you are on extended release, not multi-dose per day. Get a plastic cutting board, the biggest that will fit into your sink, trust me. Keep Cooking.

I'll repeat that..

haven't read this thread but saw this while scrolling and have dealt with many, many people who talk like you. they're all on stimulants or past stimulant users. it's very tiring to deal with (have been acquainted with them mostly through RC circles)

you should calm down and stop obsessing over normality. you look and sound a lot worse while on drugs than when you're normal in the vast majority of cases. not that my suggestion will actually get through to you, but still. I've seen what prolonged use of stimulants to escape being "normal" does to people and it's not so good. this is coming from someone who has done more drugs in both volume and variety (especially stimulants--especially RCs) than 99% of people

This thread is great. It's like watching a masaoki video unfold in real time, only instead of "cooking with hoarders" it's "cooking with schizophrenics".

>>6410027

I think I only come back to this shithole to marvel at just how stupid a large percentage of its patrons are.

>>6408438
I've heard baby carrots are soaked in bleach or some shit. Is this true?

Just one question for the cooking fags, because I honestly think cooking is ridiculous.

Why spend one hour cooking a meal, to satisfy the biological need to eat, when you can go through a drive-through and have a meal in minutes. Satisfying the same need.

Furthermore, why even go through a drive through, if we could invent a system to deprecate the digestive system, by automatically pumping the nutrients directly into our bodies, as we need them?

You say you cook for pleasure. But why should we take pleasure from our own inefficiencies? The design is defective. There should be no pleasure in that.

Now I really need to go for my walk. If I can make myself leave.
Another flaw: I always end up trying to justify my beliefs to normalfags, when I know they'll never agree.

>>6410357
how are you this stupid?

how?

Listen to some of the advice OP. Thousands, if not millions of people, have had the same thoughts as you're having, and had the same relationship with drugs. How many of them do you think continued as you want to and became successful, content adults?

>>6410360
That's not an argument. Nor is it a justification of your ideals.

In the end, it always devolves into people calling me names. Because... They don't truly have an argument. Because I'm correct.

You can insult me all you wish. But you don't have the power to prove me incorrect.
Because I'm not incorrect.

>>6410357

I know this won't get through your ignorance but cooking assures that you know what goes in your food, what exactly you are eating and that you're getting the proper nutrition from your food, nevermind the fact that a properly home cooked meal will be way more delicious than anything you can buy in a store already prepared... You've mentioned your energy problems this whole thread, if you would cook your own meals and stop being an ignorant delusional weeb you wouldn't have any energy problems... Also if it's "just a need" why don't you eat food that doesn't taste good to you? Because we as humans don't live just by our instincts and we can find enjoyment when replenishing our energy, if you would really believe your retarded ideas you wouldn't even need to go to a drive thru because you could just munch on some fresh beets and drink sugarless tea because you're enlightened amirite?

note: this is not an attack or condemnation. I'm just concerned about you, like I am concerned about lots of people. I was in a relationship with someone who dosed up like you.

Fast food is horribly inefficient from an energy standpoint. Processing foods has its uses, sure, but they are inefficient if you consider the grander scheme of things. Why are you spending more money while getting less quality, nutrition, etc?

Not that you'd understand, since you already made it abundantly clear you think food that has been modified to have a loooooong shelf life to be superior because... just because. It's like preferring grocery produce over picked from your garden because the grocery store shit looks more uniform. You do realize all of these things come at a cost, right? Of course you don't.

>>6410368
Is a very valid point as well.

>>6410357
Because I don't value absolute efficiency. And even so, cooking is actually a pretty useful/efficient way of spending my leisure time. There are plenty of other ways people waste their time. And that's fine, because we aren't robots. I've spent time working super hard, but it's a waste if you can't spend time fucking around. Life's too short for that.

OP has convinced himself he is a special snowflake ironic because he was bashing people who want different special genders earlier ITT he's the exact sa!me as them

>>6410357
>Why spend one hour cooking a meal, to satisfy the biological need to eat, when you can go through a drive-through and have a meal in minutes. Satisfying the same need.
The nutritional value of fast food is generally very poor. A proper meal would be a lot more cost efficent.

>Furthermore, why even go through a drive through, if we could invent a system to deprecate the digestive system, by automatically pumping the nutrients directly into our bodies, as we need them?
The idea isn't all that far-fetched, but it is technology we won't be able to develop for quite some time. We can't even make robots walk up stairs properly, let alone run. Developing organic robots running on organic fuel is probably a possibilty far in the future though.
But replacing the digestive system of a human with a mechanical counterpart is beyond retarded. You would still need to 'refuel' on food or nutrient paste or whatever the fuck, and the cost would be huge for zero practical gain. Our design is actually very practical as it is, though there is room for improvment.

>You say you cook for pleasure. But why should we take pleasure from our own inefficiencies? The design is defective. There should be no pleasure in that.
>There should be no pleasure in that.
>should
But there is, for many of us. I never really figured out how personal relationships work or why people would rather chat about shit than being productive/learning something by themselves. But projecting all your own insecurities onto others is no way to live life.
Do what makes you happy, let other people do what makes them happy. Our lives are short and meaningless, unless you are able to apply some personal meaning to it you might as well kill yourself doing something you enjoy, like drugs or binge eating.

If you really want to join the Borg you'll have to wait a few centuries. Perhaps you should try freezing yourself.

Best thread in weeks.

Babby's first turkey on Thanksgiving:

Luckily that was only about 1/2 hour in.
No harm was done and the bird came out spectacularly. It was mighty good if I say so myself.

I'm damn glad that I reread the directions and remembered the bag of giblits or it would have been bad times with some melted plastic and shit inside my turkey.

Back from my power-walk. (and a little jogging; did 2.4 miles today)

Funny, that my final statement was accusing you of just name-calling, and being unable to actually argue a point intellectually and fairly.

I get 4 responses.

Just the same shit as before. Still no arguments/justifications/explanations. If you disagree with me, you'd do better to explain your view, than to simply name-call. That's arguing for 4 year olds.

>>6410506
Nah, the inside of the bird doesn't get very hot. You would've been fine. Good job though. Turkey can be a pain.

>>6410542
What about those cupcakes?

You got a couple decent responses among the insults, including from me, but you just seem to have ignored those.

Not everyone wants to argue, it's a discussion, we're not all in English debate mode on a Sunday afternoon.

When on amphetamines, I actually do get like that. Usually end up eating oat meal, and green peas, and not much else.

>>6410460
Actually, I'd PREFER it if everyone took amphetamines, and everyone thought the way I did. It'd be a lot easier if I didn't constantly have people telling me i'm doing things incorrectly.

>>6410555
They've been done. [Pic related]. But i've lost my appetite for them. Maybe tomorrow.

I think i'm pretty much done with this thread. Nothing productive is coming of lurking.

I might just go on another walk. I'm actually feeling slightly better now.

>>6410576
That wasn't my point just because you want other people to be like you doesn't mean you aren't viewing yourself as special and different.

>>6410575
I saw your guys' arguments. (I read the thread from top to bottom)

You guys are basically just arguing:

- Cooking saves money
- Cooking is healthier
- Cooking is pleasureful

But i'm telling you:
- I don't care about money.
- I don't care about spending a fuck ton of time cooking, to solve my energy problems and be healthier, when I can simply pop a pill and be cured.
- I don't think pleasure in inefficiency is valid.

>>6410576
I see you didn't dare googling the longterm effects of amphetamine use.

Just an hero already you delusional faggot, you'd only do the world a favor.

Oh anon he doesn't CARE about his body as long as he can go "fast" truly the sonic of of our generation

>>6410587
I don't view myself as special.

I only view myself as different, when it is the observable truth.

I'm not an amerifat. That makes me different from the fat people.

I do exercise. That makes me different from the lazyfags.

I keep a clean place. That makes me different from the clutter-fags.

I use amphetamines to stimulate myself, and stay away from alcohol which only serves to impair. That makes me different from the casuals and alcoholfags.

Not trying to be 'special' or claim to be oh so different. But there are some differences, and I wouldn't revert to the lesser states for anything.

>>6410596
Why don't you ask yourself.

Why do I waste my time with you? Why do you waste your time with me?

Hint: We can't help ourselves. Natural human compulsions. It's difficult, isn't it?

That was my first post in the thread. I certainly have not been wasting my time with you and won't be doing so now.

>>6410602

>>6410588
Okay, so our values are different. Good for you. Can you accept that? Or is it intolerable?

>>6410623
You just did. In typing that very post, you wasted more of your time.

See what I mean. It's difficult, isn't it? Difficult to break away. To walk away and say "No, it isn't worth it" and resist the urge to post.

It's OK, I have that trouble too.

>>6410626
No, they just ruin their bodies with food and lack of exercise.

It's all about "pick your poison". Some people choose alcohol. Some people choose a sedentary lifestyle. Some people choose amphetamines.

Everyone picks their poison.

>>6410602
OP you're no different to any of them. You ARE lazy. Let me quote you -
>I don't care about spending a fuck ton of time cooking, to solve my energy problems and be healthier, when I can simply pop a pill and be cured.

That is lazy. Instead of fixing your bad habits and accepting your drug use is bad you are resorting to popping a pill which any google search will tell you is responsible for the problems of which you enjoy feeling like a victim for.
Instead of taking the harder but ultimately more fulfilling route, you are being a lazy baby and taking the ez one pill cure which, actually, is not a cure at all and infact the source of your problems.

You are also at heart an amerifat. Instead of cooking healthy, nutritious food you gulp down whatever fast food shit is quickest. Just because your druggie lifestyle prevents you from becoming visibly fat doesn't mean the inside is the same.

You do impair yourself by using drugs as is visible now. Without them you lack joy, motivation. Do you really think you can keep blowing money on amphetamines for the rest of your life? No. A time will come when you can't afford them and will need to stop temporarily. And then you'll be impaired and lose any job you have and thus income source.

You are such a delusional faggot holy shit.

>>6410627

Sounds like you have an addictive personality OP
>>6410638
That is not true some people live very active lives without being an addict piece of shit they are probably much more active than you on average too because they don't have days were they go through withdrawls and can't wipe their own ass

>I keep a clean place. That makes me different from the clutter-fags.

>Pics shows the stove still dirty from yesterday

>>6410648
>Sounds like you have an addictive personality OP
Very much so. For I am a human. Humans are beings of addictive and avoidance behaviors. It's how we learn.

If we perceive something to be good, we want more.
If we perceive something to be bad, we want to stay away from it.

Addictive and Avoidance behaviors. Human nature.

>>6410648
>That is not true some people live very active lives without being an addict piece of shit they are probably much more active than you on average too because they don't have days were they go through withdrawls and can't wipe their own ass
Where are these people? I'd like to meet them. I never see anyone exercising or walking around. All I see is amerifats. I never see anyone walking.

>>6410588
>I don't care about money
Money is part of efficiency. It takes time to get money. Throwing away money is counterproductive. You may not care about being rich, but you still care to have enough money to get by.
>fuck ton of time
Depending on what you make, it takes very little investment of time. Far less if you consider the cost vs quality vs nutrition, which is what people are telling you.
>I don't think pleasure in efficiency is valid
Then why are you promoting an inefficient society? Fast food is not efficient in anything but time for the consumer and demands of the worker. It's inefficient in every other capacity. There's a ton of additional work and packaging (energy and resources) expended to make the food consistent and idiot-proof. It's only efficient for you because you lack the skills to quickly prepare a meal.

If you really cared about not eating anything, you'd live off of soylent. I think there's a thread on it. Enjoy.

>>6408943
What happened OP, you were so hopeful here.

>>6410662
Where do you live?
That's anecdotal evidence if you've never seen them in your small town then they must not exist you are very small person in a very big world you have never met even 1% of the population
Why don't you try visiting some fitness forums or something and not /fit/ either

>>6410675
Like I've said. My personality is inconsistent from one moment to the next.

Sometimes I think cooking is fun.
Sometimes I think the practice of cooking is disgusting and inefficient.

I think I'm just gonna go watch this star trek movie, clean the place up, go exercise again, then check if this thread is still alive. If it is, I'll probably have bad judgement and start reading posts. Instead of closing it, which is what I SHOULD do.

>>6410675

>>6410699
>If it is, I'll probably have bad judgement and start reading posts. Instead of closing it, which is what I SHOULD do.
Yeah, close it and run away from your problems so that you don't have to admit you're wrong. One day your parents are going to realise what an awful excuse of a person they've raised and they'll not help you out the next time you run out of drugs and lose your job.

Hopefully you'll be around to update us when that happens.

>>6410705
All humans have many 'poles' (emotions & moods) that they can 'swing to' at any moment, given their exposure to stimuli and internal thought structure.

Someone gives you a hard time, you get frustrated.
Someone says something you agree with, or something else happens to lighten your mood, and maybe shit just doesn't bother you as much for a while.

I'm not bipolar. I'm just a human. Just thinking. Just having thoughts and emotions and moods, as any human would, which is dependent upon my thought structure and the things & people i'm exposed to.
TL;DR : I'm just a human being human.

>>6410706
Or, as it has been suggested, because we're all prismatic beings with many different sides, its entirely possible that you would like certain aspects of my personality, or like me at certain times, while disliking other aspects of my personality, or disliking me at other specific times.

Even I don't always agree with myself.
But then, I'm not so different from any of you. All humans do it. We're inconsistent beings. Stagnation is unnatural. Which makes it that much worse when it happens.

>>6410729
Only the weak are inconsistent to the point where they try to rationalize and justify their shitty behavior. The rest of us admit our mistakes and adapt/learn, which may make our behavior differ from day to day, but it's done in a productive manner that makes sense, unlike you. You're crazy. Straight up.

By the way, stagnation is arbitrary. There are some incredibly successful organisms that have changed very little in a long time.

>>6410638
What about sneks?

I tried to screencap the descent into addiction denial, but there's just too much. I hope someone else is getting this.

>>6410729

You're a faggot OP, plain and simple... and just to make you feel worse this comes from an anon who didn't even graduate high school, i failed my life because of drugs and made terrible choices but i learned from them and made a great career out of nothing as the years went on, but i was never even close to being as sad and hopeless as you... I at least hope you're not a virgin because trust me if you don't change your shit attitude and retarded views on life and everything around you, you will end up a sad lonely child in his 40's wondering why you kept on defending the obvious failure that is you.

Why, to what benefit would you include your horse toy in the pictures? Not only was it unnecessary, it was off topic. But you felt the need to interject it artificially into the conversation and thus removing from the quality of your thread.

This is why bronies get the flak they do. Its not because they enjoy a show for female children (which truth be told, is weird) but rather the show and the fandom created by it exaggerates and emphasizes the lack of social and relationship skills the person posses. This is I expect commonly due to some sort of underlying condition like ASD. Un-lucky for most people, health/mental issues rarely come in singles, and is often coupled with things like OCD (or perceived OCD, a rooted resistance to a system or order other than their own most likely caused by ASD).
All of this aside, if only bronies (read:people with ASD) could emulate enough social skills to not constantly and inject inappropriate content into social interactions, MLP might not have the strong negative connotation it does.

>>6410779

I left school to pursue a career and it was very hard, but i had a skill since i was a little child that not a lot of people have and listening to my mother i developed it and now i make more than enough with it.

Thread started out well enough, but now it's devolved into OP just looking for someone to give him a virtual pat on the back and tell him being a junkie is a-ok.
