It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
Either way it doesn't really matter cause the actual purpose of a recipe is communication between people, if I follow a recipe Im trusting the people who wrote and published that recipe and discovering their particular tastes and preferences, why the fuck would I want an AI version of that.
And particularly with novice chefs this shit is so insidious, just treating cooking as a maths problem rather than as something to cherish and enjoy, you should learn cooking by learning the dishes your parents make, your friends, or even just trying to make whatever good stuff youve tasted sometime.
so in a way those long rambling stories about the recipe and how such and such passed it down to so and so etc etc
that there are actual web scripts designed to bypass them and extract the recipe
those twenty paragraph preambles that you scroll and scroll past
are unironically good actually?
I always thought that this was because you can't really copyright a recipe, but your spiel about how the hubs love cheese or whatever is where your copyright lives
I thought it was mostly for the purposes SEO because if you use enough nouns and adjectives by writing an essay or a short story then Google will naturally preference it in its search results.
Back in the day sometimes people used to dump SEO key terms at the bottom of a page back when crawlers used to be less refined so you'd see a list of nouns and adjectives related to the topic at the end, or they might be put into 1pt font or white font on a white background. Obviously as things developed crawlers would ignore this SEO stacking technique in favour of actually legible text written in sentences rather than a thesaurus dump, hence why people write short stories these days.
This doesn't explain why the stories come before the recipe instead of after.
Because that way heuristics show your readers "reading" that bullshit instead of just grabbing the recipe and fucking off, which means advertisers see your site as more likely to drive engagement and pay more for ad space. Those sites exist to be blank banners to shove ads onto, any actual material of worth is incidental.
And you can put more ads on the page during paragraph breaks
