The Raindrop Cake Is Coming To America. Is This The Next Cronut?

next up, in food trends that are apparently not satire: why not eat a fucking gelatin jellyfish? it’s new! it’s translucent! it looks like an unused breast implant or something you’d find stranded above the tideline! it has almost zero calories because it contains nothing in the way of flavour or nutritional value, and we think that’s just nifty.

this is some dadaist aspic minimalism bullshit, I swear to allsuffering christ. why not eat some clingwrap while you’re at it? or - let’s go crazy - a slice of fucking cheesecake? ARE THE SHADES OF PEMBERLEY TO BE THUS POLLUTED? DID WE SUFFER AND DIE IN VAIN?

@copperbadge

I was gonna say, that’s….that’s not a cake. That’s unflavored jello. Literally vegan gelatin and agar are both gelatin substitutes, their only purpose is to flavorlessly cause liquid to become less liquid. So unless the mineral water is flavored, that is plain jello topped with what amounts to caramelized sugar. (I’m not going to even dignify “roasted soybean flour” with a response.) This is what will appear in the new Lileks Gallery of Regrettable Food in fifty years. 

I mean, it’s perfectly edible and all and if you want to eat it you go ahead and bon appetite, but this is not cronut-level territory. I could make that for you in my own kitchen in about 30 minutes and mine would be shaped like a skull because I have more imaginative jello molds. (Technically I could also make you a cronut, but that involves way more time and energy.) 

Given the restaurant claims to be serving them “this weekend” this may be an April Fool despite being posted twelve hours too early and on a reputable news site. Friendly reminder tomorrow is “bully someone into feeling gullible day”….

That moment when I think, “Okay, but I’m still willing to make this for science because it’s stunt food that doesn’t have anything in it that can make me sick.”

Oh man, at least use fruit juice instead of mineral water, though. Like I know you aren’t allergic to tasting things :D 

I mean if you (the universal you) have dietary restrictions/allergies that prevent eating animal gelatin, agar and other vegan gelatin substitutes are great. No argument here. I get why they’re using that. It’s not the agar I have objections to. And I suspect with the original dish, they’re playing with texture, I just think they’re doing so rather unnecessarily. 

There’s no reason you should have to suffer a flavorless blob of goo dunked in sugar under the guise of “dessert that won’t kill me”. It’d probably be healthier, actually, to cut the syrup of cane sugar and use fruit sugars instead. Get some pomegranate juice and make BLOOD DROP CAKES! Use tomato juice and booze and make yourself a bloody mary shooter. Add almond extract if you must have a raindrop, it’s clear and will at least give you something to taste. But unflavored gelatin, oh my god, I love you too much to let you do that to yourself and call it “dessert”.

Tumblr April Fool’s Joke

theasexualityblog:

This is what your dash looks like if you fall for the Tumblr April Fool’s Joke.

I know some of my followers might have vision sensitivities, and as this background is a rather bright color, I wanted to warn everyone.

If you don’t want your dash to look like this, do NOT click on the “This Is Decision 2016″ voting link. It will take you to a page where you vote for a lizard, and once you do, it changes your dash to look like the above.

If you’ve already fallen for it, there is a way to revert to the default dash. Underneath the spinning “Decision 2016″ graphic on the sidebar, there is a link to opt out.

Stay safe and have fun, lovelies!

It looks like this. 

Reblogging for the image to opt out.

Please appreciate this Japanese shitpost

I’m gonna show this to Hubs

explanation time:

“ni” = 2 in Japanese. so “ni”colas cage = 2 heads
they replaced the “ni” with 1 and 3, making iccolas cage up top and sancolas cages on the bottom

i.e., its the japanese equivalent of that janear, jafar meme

thank u friend i would not have known how very important this post is without your kind translation

espanya:

since it is trans day of visibility, we should do more than just post selfies (and essentially copy blackout). today i will try to be posting resources, history, and transition stories. there’s nothing wrong with posting some selfies today, but please don’t make that the only thing we do today— this is a very important day, and is more than just selfies. blackout was a celebration of beauty our society often deems unworthy; trans day of visibility should be about making our community, history, and siblings known. 

a small list of resources for the moment: 

i will try to have more soon!! including stuff to good places to get things like binders and breast foams, clothes, make up, etc.

the trouble with writing is that it’s literally always easier to just lie facedown on your floor and make inarticulate noises

@fujoshi-kianna-leigh @words-writ-in-starlight i can’t be the only one who feels like this.

IT’S SO TRUE THOUGH.

"Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don’t do it for money. That’s not what it’s about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They’re fans, but they’re not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language."

Anonymous asked: *bursts through your door* Do you wanna talk about Connor Kent??? Because my roommate inflicted Young Justice on my poor unknowing soul and I have a lot of feelings about this poor wandering test tube child???

wildehack:

ANON. We can ALWAYS talk about Conner Kent. ALWAYS. 

Like, what aspect of Conner do we need to discuss? How he looks identical to Clark as a teenager, except around the eyes (because blue or green, those are Lex’s eyes)? How he inherits the weight of Clark’s losses (a world, a family, innumerable languages, innumerable cultures, an identity), as well as the weight of Lex’s expectations (schemes, stratagems, and understated goals: kill your father, replace your father, be better than your father, be human, be my weapon, be my son.) Sixteen years old–one month old–and he’s dragging around his inheritances like an iron ball and chain. How even with the enormous weight of all he is heir to, this poor fucking kid has nothing. No family, no connections, no driver’s license, no home, no closet full of clothes, no nostalgia, no music to soothe him, no movies he loves. He’s got nobody, he’s got NOTHING, he knows NO ONE, but he’s got Lex’s eyes and that big fucking S on his chest and no one will ever just meet him, no one will ever just know him. 

And then WALLY GODDAMN WEST TAKES HIM HOME, OKAY. I AM SO EMOTIONAL ABOUT THIS. WALLY WEST TAKES HIM HOME AND IS LIKE ‘HEY MOM, DAD, SUPERBOY’S GONNA SPEND THE NIGHT OKAY’, AND WALLY’S PARENTS JUST SHRUG LIKE ‘OKAY OUR SUPERPOWERED KID HAS WEIRD FRIENDS’ ONLY THEN THEY SLOWLY REALIZE THE DEPTH OF EVERYTHING CONNER DOESN’T HAVE; WHAT CONNER DOESN’T KNOW. LIKE. WALLY’S MOM PUSHING FOOD ON HIM. CONNER SITTING AT THE DINNER TABLE, SCOWLING AND CONFUSED, WITH LIKE TEN SLOPPY JOES IN FRONT OF HIM. WALLY’S MOM TAKING THEM TO THE MALL AND WATCHING HOW UTTERLY FUCKING HELPLESS CONNER IS AT ALL THE CHOICES, LIKE, HE CHOOSES THE EXACT SAME SHIRT, THE EXACT SAME PANTS, THE EXACT SAME BOOTS, IN FIVE IDENTICAL PAIRS. THE JACKET IS THE ONLY EXTRAVAGANCE SHE CAN TALK HIM INTO. (GOD. HOW FUCKING MUCH CONNER LOVES THAT LEATHER JACKET, LATER ON. THE WAY IT’S WORN SOFT IN SOME PLACES AND STIFF AND SCRATCHED IN OTHERS, THE WAY IT READS AS ARMOR BUT WRAPS AROUND HIM COMFORTABLE AND WARM. THE WAY NEITHER LEX NOR CLARK WOULD EVER WEAR ANYTHING LIKE IT.) AND LIKE, WALLY SETTING CONNER UP ON HIS BEDROOM FLOOR AND PUTTING ON THE TV. WALLY INTRODUCING CONNER TO, LIKE, JESUS, I DON’T EVEN KNOW. TEENAGE BOY SHOWS. THE WALKING DEAD? CONNER AWKWARDLY CURLED UP IN A SLEEPING BAG WATCHING WALLY WATCH THE WALKING DEAD, WHILE WALLY GIVES HIM A RAPID COMMENTARY. JUST. COME ON. WALLY AND CONNER. AND THEN LATER: KALDUR AND CONNER, AND DICK AND CONNER, AND ARTEMIS AND CONNER AND, OBVIOUSLY, M’GANN AND CONNER. 

…was that what you wanted to talk about, anon? because i could go on
