Hum-Drum Draws

@lifesneverhumdrum / lifesneverhumdrum.tumblr.com

I have officially relocated - you can find me on: Twitter Instagram Redbubble Ko-fi Need to reach me another way? Feel free to email me at: kbeach.2k13@gmail.com

The comments section of any recipe column or website, in summary

  • I/my dog/kid/boss’ girlfriend is allergic to the main ingredient in this food and the recipe writer is a horrible person for not providing an infinite list of other swaps and/or is a terrorist/liberal snowflake/puppy-kicker for telling me to grow the heck up and do the research myself, and I will doxx any commenter here who tells me to google something actually relevant instead of just complaining, meanwhile ignoring the disservice I am doing to people with real food sensitivities who also know how to cook and research and shut the hell up because nobody wants to hear it.
  • I didn’t follow this recipe at all because I made swaps for every step and now I’m going to write 200 words about how my way is better instead of getting my own recipes column or website.
  • I didn’t follow the recipe and it didn’t come out.  Why can’t someone just come to my house and cook this for me?  
  • This recipe also works well with a reasonable substitute that has the same basic flavor profile and/or cooking time.
  • This recipe doesn’t taste like a recipe I never bothered to learn from a family member or friend who’s dead now, so I’m going to complain on general principle and not accept responsibility for failing to cherish people until they are gone.
  • Can I use a smaller pan/bigger pan/different pan or do I really have to bankrupt myself to own an eight inch rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom?
  • I make a bunch of assumptions about the recipe writer’s culture and lifestyle choices and then lecture everyone in the comments about how my rural survivalist aesthetic and/or urban and convenience-food aesthetic is the only practical way to do things and that’s why this country is falling apart.  (See also the op-ed comments.)
  • That person who’s still using margarine.
  • Random kid RPing with weird, off topic conversations and other random kids RPing with return off-topic comments.
  • God/Mother Earth is great and you are all sinners for not eating raw/killing your own meat/buying my biodynamic seasoning mix.
  • The cook time on this was longer than the recipe said, I had to cook it four more minutes at the prescribed temperature in order to get (helpful details of color, texture).
  • I added kale/bacon/cheese to this and it was great.
  • This thing that the instructions say doesn’t keep well didn’t keep well.

isn’t it creepy that from the day you are born you start to die

Actually! Fun fact!

If “starting to die” is defined as “cells start dying at a faster rate than they are replaced” then you don’t start dying the day you’re born! You’re still growing and cells are still being replaced pretty quick for about 22 to 25 years!

So 25. THAT’S when you start to die!

:D

Ask any 25 year old and they will confirm

i own minecraft but all i ever use it for is to build a tiny wood cabin, wrangle a family of three horses, and pick every flower within the nearby area and landscape my territory

thats all i do like some twelve year olds out here who can like redstone program a field of horseshit to play the ninja turtles theme backwards and im like,,,,a kindergartner drawing a picture like “and heres the sun and heres my house and my dog and a flower”

once my wooden hut is built and my horses are penned in with a bale of hay and some water and a barn and my flower garden looks gorgeous i fully quit the game, don’t play for like 6 months, and then do that exact thing again, over and over

the horses are a key part

If brains are biological computers, why don’t we lag?

You can’t tell me you’ve never walked into a room and forgotten why you’re there or lost a train of thought for a few seconds

Once when I was driving home from school I had a brief moment of panic because I thought I’d forgotten my car at school

can a human brain run doom

just look at this fucking year

i feel like we mis-house these two a lot.

Because Cas is a straight up Gryffindor fool man (okay but really - like oh, nbd i’ll just eat some purga-souls. NO RAVENCLAW WOULD EVER DO THAT EVER). and Dean reeks of Hufflepuff (loyalty, working together, family, all that jazz)

TAKE NOTES KIDS BECAUSE ARCHIOUGHT KNOWS WHAT’S UP 

there’s a post about how we should be grateful AO3 has no limits on what you’re allowed to put on it and it really bugs me because most of the people even on the post are mostly just a bunch of adults making excuses for writing and reading stuff on it that shouldn’t be there

claiming that most of the fics written about adults r*ping children are meant to horrify when many of them are meant to be arousing, especially evidenced by the author being incredibly smug to people who say what they’re doing is wrong

claiming that smut about teenagers is written BY TEENAGERS like….. I’m sure some of it is but nowhere near as much as those adults are claiming.  every author I know that writes smut is an adult

Tumblr is all ‘uwu protect minors’ until you get to the topic of AO3 and suddenly it’s all ‘well it’s tagged so that makes it okay for adults to write garbage about kids and post it somewhere everyone can admire it’

ESPECIALLY considering that most authors a teenager is going to look up to isn’t going to be another teenager, they’re going to look up to ADULTS who know what they’re doing
