Lately I've been looking in the mirror during a workout and I think "damn, those aren't my lats" but I realize they are and I think "damn" again but in a different and much cockier tone so I think I get you.

I'd like to think I'm an interesting person but I admit to doing stupid shit mostly to entertain myself. The coffee thing was just an accident though.

Well it started when I was 2 and my sister got us kicked out of kindergarten

I was living in student housing and our water was really shit, like you could wash a dish and more limescale would appear. The brita didn't work well enough so I would get smart water and brew my coffee with that in large batches. I'd start the day with an iced coffee I made the night before, midday I'd make myself a latte, and at night I'd have some cold brew to study. I just forgot to drink normal water inbetween because the water was so shit it just left my mind as something that my body would take in.

Okay let me educate you on some basic burger construction at various price levels. The cheapest buns are potato or generic white wheat rolls, they have almost no sound but potato rolls store better without going stale and generic white flour buns usually have a fuck ton of additives and preservatives to lower the cost. These types of bread have a very distinct density and low burning temperature, making them hyper sound absorbent since they have practically no crust or textural elements inside. Biting into them is basically like biting into sound foam, they make no sounds unless toasted but almost no places that use these types of buns toast them because they burn so easily and hydrate so fast that doing so might as well be worthless. Higher priced buns like brioche or less industrial white flour buns don't hydrate as well and go staler faster, but toast much better, so usually for a higher end burger with a toasted but you can at least have a small crisp, brioche especially has a really high fat content so it maintains a crisp toast longer.

The patty itself is a major factor here. Higher end burgers don't just have more moisture and fat due to the actual thickness of the burger but there is another factor, which is the meat itself. Mcdonalds uses a 20% fat ratio for their meat, which sounds kinda high but the way they cook and store them actually makes it pretty low. A good burger that isn't cooked to hell all the way through will drip a lot more, but mcdonalds basically freeze dries their meat to a certain extent, which is why they don't drip as much and taste so fatty. The fat of the meat doesn't actually get pushed out by much moisture because the meat itself lacks any moisture. It's an easier eating experience but it's distinctively dry sounding. And don't ask about smashburgers cause those are normally cooked super high heat with at least a 25% fat ratio, they have a distinctive crisp to them if they're made well.

The topping are the most obvious part, good burger means better toppings but there are so many options I'll just list the generics. Mcdonalds uses a mockery of lettuce everyone knows this, but it's not quite that simple. Most good burger joints will shred their lettuce, normally iceberg, and that results in a distinct slaw like texture. It also absorbs the burger dripping better but it makes a sound similar to biting through a crisp apple but chunkier. Fast food places normally have wilted lettuce that doesn't make a sound because it's likely been pre chopped for days at least and the leaves begin to break down after being cut and tumbled around. Notably, whole lettuce leaves degrade much slower because of the smaller surface area exposed to oxygen, but they wilt just as fast in the heat. Onions and tomato and pickles are all obvious, larger pieces make more noise, etc etc.

Grand total when you bite into a good quality burger you should end up with a sound similar to slightly muffled apples being eaten and at least a couple drops of liquid, which would actually make for much more textured ASMR. The soundstage would also be slightly higher because the muffling of the cheap additive buns shouldn't come through as much. Cheap burgers sound like biting into a cliff bar, almost completely lacking in any texture in the soundstage.

Whatchya eatin anon?
