  • They put a drug in it to make you crave it fortnightly!

    Probably a combination of sugar and msg in different parts.

    I find fast food burgers to be pretty boring - the flavor is kind of flat, simple.

    My homemade ones are great because I use a spice mix for burgers (a copy of one Williams Sonoma used to sell, that has things like Worcestersher powder, garlic, onion, thyme, mustard powder, etc).













  • cookie(n.) 1730, Scottish, but the sense is “plain bun,” and it is debatable whether it is the same word; in the sense of “small, flat, sweet cake” by 1808 (American English); this use is from Dutch koekje “little cake,” diminutive of koek “cake,” from Middle Dutch koke (see cake (n.)). “Dutch influence is no doubt responsible also for the parallel use of the word in South African English” [Ayto, “Diner’s Dictionary”].






  • “Rebel” bwhahaha. Lemme guess, you just turned 14?

    You need to read some history, like “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire” and Machiavelli.

    Go build your own socialist/communist compound - you can do that in the US (generally, unless you piss off Hillary). Because no one’s ever thought of any of this before. (Yes, that’s sarcasm).

    You’re also espousing ideas that would require a lot more of the population to get onboard with. And while life may not be “perfect”, I’ll be damned if I’m giving up any of what I do have for your pie-in-the-sky idealism.

    Humanity has been on this path for thousands of years - go read the Code of Hammurabi to see exactly how little is different today from 7000 years ago.

    It sounds to me like you’ve never worked on any large project - of you had, you’d know there are a million things that can’t be predicted, and that’s with much smaller agendas.
