That's only because diabetes isn't a person.

You need a car.. to buy cake...?

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Where I live it's that or walk 3 miles to the store and 3 miles back holding a cake. You can do a bike, but there's a good chance it won't look good when you get home.

Yeah, it's what American's call freedom.

I normally buy cake in a shop. This person has a very interesting car...

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

A drive-through bakery!

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Classic old joke:

Guy comes into a bakery, asks for a birthday cake, but has very specific instructions: it has to be German chocolate, with rich, creamy chocolate frosting. Also he wants it in the shape of an 'S', he's very insistent on that.

And he's gonna stand there and wait until his cake is ready, so they have to make it NOW!

So the baker mixes all the ingredients, pours it into pans, and while it bakes, with the guy watching him closely, he expertly prepares the frosting. Once the cake is done baking, he takes it out, and sculpts out the S shape, using frosting to hold it together. He then covers it in frosting, gives it a nice, professional looking texture, adds some icing rosettes, and even fashions a rose out of frosting.

The baker then presents the cake to the customer, to get his approval. "Is the'S' shape to your liking?"

The guy says it looks great! So the baker brings out a cake box to pack the cake, but the customer stops him: "Don't bother boxing it. I'll be eating it here!"

I don't get it, why the s shape?

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Honestly this far into the male loneliness epidemic, it reads less like a joke and more like a sad night for Sam.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I think the joke is that you wouldn't expect someone to eat the cake immediately and all of the baker's work making it look good is largely wasted. Why not just make a normal sheet cake? This doesn't work as well because the original post primed us all to think about eating a cake by ourselves.

it's the cool S. what more reason need we?

[–] ganymede@lemmy.ml 52 points 2 days ago (1 children)

you can also bake one, which helps alleviate some of the guilt.

[–] witty_username@feddit.nl 12 points 2 days ago

And you might even be lucky enough to not have to rely on a car to buy the ingredients

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 18 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Opening hours would like to differ. Also your wallet.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have a pantry and an oven. I am, at most, 45 minutes away from having cake at any given time.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Okay but this is about going to the shop and buying one.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The shops are shut, and I just baked another cake because I can.

Some places have big markets open 24/7

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

Then it's OP's distance from such places that may stop them from buying a cake.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Convenience stores often have those mccain deep n delicious cakes. Not the greatest cakes but they are cake.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

Those don't exist where I live. 🤷

Except late onset diabetes. Enjoy it while you can.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Also juvenile diabetes (aka type 1)

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well of course, but then you never had the possibility of eating as much as you want as an adult to begin with.

You can stlii eat cake if you're a diabetic.

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Sure you can. You maybe shouldn't, but you absolutely can and nobody can stop you. No, diabetes won't stop you, it might just punish you. Especially if we're just talking about buying a cake, as in the OP.

[–] needanke@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Mostly yeah. Maybe not, if you bloodlucose is too high allready but usually you should be fine.

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Well that's my point, as a child unless you have type 1, you tend to be able to eat as much sugar as you want without harmful effects. Only parents hold you back.

As an adult you have no parents telling you not to do you could theoretically eat as much as you want (OPs point)... Unless you have type 2 in which case your blood glucose levels need to be considered so you can't just eat as much as you want long term.

I can literally walk and get cake. Get on my level.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Diabetes will stop you

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

I wish there was vegan cake available 24/7 in walking distance. Actually, scratch that, I'd be dead already if it was.

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

As long as you don't eat it too.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah but the shame and nausea you feel afterwards is also yours. lol

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Oh yeah! I can do this!

.... I mean, I'll probably bounce a bill payment if I do, but I can do this!

Woo! Adulting!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Has paying a bill ever once made you as happy as eating chocolate cake?

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

No. But it generally keeps the lights on, and I like lights.

I could, but I would almost definitely get a tummy ache

[–] Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

Thanks for reminding me I bought cake this week and forgot to eat it.

[–] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

Don't tell this trick to my doctor

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 4 points 2 days ago

I do that.

Or make pancakes for dinner and such. Not too often, but every now and then.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Good timing too that laziness has set in, and also the realization that cake isn't really worth all that trouble. I'd rather have a sandwich or something. So much better tasting, guilt free, and healthier. That's my take. 🫣

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

After being in a public place I can see that most folks have their daily cake.
