Mukbangarang

Me watching videos, and Layze asked "Why do mukbangers eat like that?" and it’s like "Dude, it’s science."

They have to gobble the food down as fast as possible because they have a short window–about twenty minutes–before the messages from their stomach reach their brain saying "I’m full!" So you’ve gotta pack as much food as possible in as soon as possible before your brain starts receiving the danger signals and your body starts feeling uncomfortable and you can’t eat anymore.

It’s sad how porn ruins everything.

Originally, mukbang videos were a streamer eating a meal while talking to their viewers. So people alone at home, or who have trouble eating and can be helped by eating with company, could watch the videos and feel as though they were enjoying a meal with a friend.

Now it’s all feeder content. That’s why they cram as much as they can into their mouths, to the point that they can barely breathe, and they let the sauces drip all over their fingers and get all over their faces. Or they have to eat MASSIVE amounts of food, rather than enjoying a normal meal with their viewers. It’s so sad.

I enjoy when someone does "Meal and a –"-type content. In the old days, it would be a group of people on TV, and they would pop up during breaks in a movie, and they would talk about what was just watched or they would cook and eat a recipe. It was casual entertainment, and maybe you could get a new recipe to try.

But now, there’s so many AI slop recipe videos where if you actually tried to make the food, it would taste like garbage. Or there’s just someone cramming 10 pounds of food into their body through their mouth hole as fast as possible, making loud chewing sounds, and moaning as they desperately try to breathe. It’s so distasteful.

Dinner and a movie shows used to be so fun. I miss it.

Scatterbrained

I’m super upset with myself. I made chicken tonight and I put the leftovers in a container… that I left open on the counter.

I was just going to leave it for a few minutes so I could cool it before putting it in the fridge, but I got distracted and BOOM. Four chicken drumsticks are now going to be dog chicken because I’m a scatterbrain. Boo, me.

Sometimes things happen. Little mistakes. But I can’t let them become the whole of my world or I won’t be able to function.

I just regret that no humans will be able to eat that chicken. Because that’s sad.

But having a dog in the house solves a lot of food waste issues. You just have to make sure you’re not using dog unfriendly spices, and you’re good to go.

I’m dumb

Holy shit. I just scared the crap out of myself.

I had my text editor open (TEXT! editor) and went to open a file, only to find my folders were empty. ALL of my folders were empty.

"All my apes are gone!" levels of freakout happened.

Then I realized I was using a text editor, which meant it was looking for text files. And adoy doy, most of my folders are full of files that are not .txt files. So of course they weren’t going to show.

So yeah. My stuff is still there. I’m just really stupid.

But, you know, it’s a reminder to keep backups. And to take a deep breath and THINK before having a complete meltdown.
