  • At some point, food blogs stopped being about food and became personal memoirs with a side of seasoning. It probably started innocently enough—people sharing family recipes, adding a little background, a photo or two. But then came the SEO optimization, the Google gods demanding 1,500 words per post, and suddenly, every recipe for scrambled eggs begins with a story about someone’s childhood summer in Tuscany and how their Nonna taught them the sacred art of cracking an egg with one hand.

    Now it’s standard: you search “how to make pancakes” and end up reading about a foggy morning in 2003, a breakup, a golden retriever named Milo, and how cooking became therapy. You scroll and scroll, dodging ads, autoplaying videos, and a pop-up asking you to “join the culinary journey.” Somewhere, buried like treasure, is the actual recipe—five steps long, could’ve fit on a Post-it note.

    And yes, this is exactly that. This is the bloated preamble you didn’t ask for. You came here for temperatures and timings, and instead, you got this paragraph complaining about the very thing it’s doing. You’re now part of the cycle—scrolling, sighing, wondering when we collectively decided that roasting vegetables required a narrative arc.

    Anyway, here’s the recipe. Probably. Keep scrolling.



  • We constantly scan the whole orbit around earth, not only agencies, but also nerds. I’m talking about those super nerds who intercept NASA communication and keep it to themselves.

    If any alien spacecraft somehow got at cloud level, we would have detected it.

    Always remember: only 2 people knew about Kennedy‘s affair and we still knew about it.

    This sounds like misinterpretation of data to me.

    Edit: will watch sometime this weekend and might change my view.
