"Eat the icing from the jar" in the style of "let the bodies hit the floor".
A good cake is like $60. Who got money for that?
They said cake; they did not specify good cake.
If you always forget it, does that mean you're trapped in an eternal loop of remembering and then instantly forgetting it again?
Pouring one out for all the folks out there who have to get in a car to go to a bakery
Yeah! I get baked at home!
One time I was promised cake if I just did a series of tests on a prototype, though the tests seemed more like they were testing my problem solving skills rather than the prototype itself.
Anyways, the cake was great, so delicious and moist.
It was overall a very rewarding experience that I recommend everyone sign up for.
This is a lie
Are you a lab mouse?
Aperture Science doesn't test on animals, all tests are ethically done on humans, of which I am one who is definitely still alive after finishing all the tests and full of cake.
I actually installed it this week to give it another go, this timing is golden haha
I'm trying to nudge my daughter into playing it, but I guess I shared too many other interesting looking games with the family. A Game About Digging A Hole caught her eye first lol.
My son had beaten both Portal & Portal 2: before his fourth birthday. He's 16 now and I guess he likes cats.
Lol at that age I remember my daughter thinking Mario Kart was like a movie where you picked your character and their vehicle, then watched them race (because auto steer and accelerate were on, which is good enough to finish middle of the pack, at least for 50cc).
These days she spends most of her gaming time on Minecraft.
My son still plays Roblox at 16. And other games, but he has some friends who like to play Roblox together.
Can also bake one.
On top of probably tasting better, it's also more fun.
When I was kid, I loved bananas, but my mom wouldn't buy them because she felt they were too expensive, so bananas became even more rare and precious to me.
I grew up, got my own place, and did my own grocery shopping. I remember walking through the grocery store, and passing the bananas, thinking they were too expensive, but I noticed they were 69 cents a pound. That didn't seem so much, so I weighed a few, and it was less that 2 pounds. I could buy a bunch of bananas for $1.50! That wasn't so much!
So I bought the bananas. That was many years ago, and I still buy bananas almost every shopping trip. That preciousness still exists though. Whenever I eat a banana, it feels like I'm eating a candy bar.
Your wallet may disagree.
My local supermarket has a lot of fresh cake in stock, usually half of the display is 40% off because of the expiration date is "today" or some goof held the box at a silly angle causing a visually ruined cake.
I'll happily snack away on the poor whip cream squashed sugary treat. Especially when it's super cheap.
I sometimes want to do this but then I realize I can make a better cake myself.
Lifetime of healthy eating discipline made me think that this is gross. Forgive me op.
The death of innocence is reaching the point where you could do that, but it wouldn’t even make you happy because of health reasons.
I forget this on purpose, just like how I can just make one myself and my wife won't stop me
Ah but you see I bike there, which means that it is healthy! Fitness is my passion.
I run often, and unfortunately it's a lot harder to stay thin as I'm pushing 40 than it was when I was pushing 20. And by stay thin I mean stay average.
Kurzgesagt had a good video on exercise that basically talked about how, if you exercise regularly, your body basically doesn't burn the calories the same. If you're a couch potato and then you start to exercise, you will get a benefit, but then there's diminishing returns from continuing to exercise, to the point your body now says "hey, this is my new normal," and essentially burns the same calories whether you're on the couch or exercising. There's a lot more nuance to it in the video.
It seems we're all doomed to just get old.
I've done this for a while. I'll just buy a birthday cake and snack on it. 33 now, still skinny... But for how long 😬
But can you consume the cake without suffering consequences?
The consequence is that there won't be any cake left, right?

I sometimes remember this, but then I get to the store and a cheesecake is $17 and I suddenly remember I don't actually need it that bad

Nice try cake making industry.
Forgetting is sometimes a survival instinct
As an adult I've had enough stomach aches, and gained enough belly fat, and developed enough of a palette, to viscerally dislike eating lots of cake.

Then you do it, and your body punishes you for it this time, instead of your parents.
