For me, it was a whole honey glazed ham.

Your grandma makes better chocolate cake than whatever the grocery store sells.

Grandma is dead, besides, she was always a terrible cook.

I remember realizing this at about 20, and that if I bought my own cake ingredients I could make cake for startlingly little money. The most expensive part was probably the ready made frosting.

Anyway I started making cakes for friends and neighbours in my apartment building after work. I didn't keep it up for very long, maybe a year, but I'm convinced my reputation is still riding high, decades later, from the goodwill I sowed during that time.

As an adult you should realize that eating a cake any time you want is unhealthy and should have the self control to delay that gratification. Sure noone can stop you, but you should have the self respect to stop yourself.

Boooooriiiiing. I'll have a slice of the chocolate please

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Today is the day. I have delayed gratification for over 40 years and today is the day I eat a whole damn cake.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

You know I don't think I've ever eaten a whole cake, and at this point I think I would regret it before I was even half finished lol, but if you've got the mettle good speed to you πŸ™‡

Depends a lot on your genotype, I think. I wouldn't eat it every day, but I've never noticed any ill effects

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No. Calories in, calories out. No one can break the laws of physics.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but the calories that you put in your mouth don't affect everyone the same way. Either that or I've got a pocket dimension in my leg

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They do affect everyone the same in the sense that all people will gain weight at the same rate. But the weight distribution in the body will be different.

This is actually false again. I've always had a massive sweet tooth, especially for baked goods, but still stayed skinnier than my friends. Some people really can just put it away.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

No, it's not. You're just unaware of how much calories you actually consume and what your expenditure is.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

depends on how often you want to eat cake

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Damn I had a birthday recently and I totally forgot about that option.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

My brother or sister, the birthday doesn't even enter into it. If you want cake just go get some.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

But then I think about calories and other negative consequences. On my birthday, however, I can say: "Well, it's my birthday!"

Your heart might stop you, eventually.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

I think you mean pancreas. Though, IDK which would come first.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but I try to go to the place with all the bouncy castles and they won't let me play even if I bring my own socks.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Try a trampoline park instead.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Trampoline parks don't have giant inflatable clowns at the top of the trampoline! It's not the same!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

You have weird trampoline parks...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Only if you have a car, otherwise you need to walk or take public transportation.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

You can literally break into any old car and drive it away. Who's going to stop you?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

My car doesn't have a bakery in it πŸ˜”

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

You need a bigger car, yours is missing critical features. I bet it doesn't have a bowling alley either...

Whenever I want

Where can I buy a cake at 3am? That's when I want cake, but even as an adult with a car, I am unable to get cake. 😩

Well, that kind of cake. I can get a different kind on Grindr 24/7.

Where can I buy a cake at 3am?

Any 24-hour supermarket.
