My girlfriend was like "ohhhh can you make me this recipe for breakfast uwu :3" all innocent, messaging me some tracker-riddled short form video hell link, and I oblige, of course, but then am quickly faced with the reality that short form video is not a good format for recipies. There is no rewind and no written recipe, so if you want to see something you have to watch the whole thing all the way through. So you're standing there in the kitchen trying to prep, watching this guy with a lisp unhelpfully narrate all the ingredients in rapid succession, gathering a new ingredient on every playthrough. And then you notice, of course, there aren't any measurements, because why would there be? Oh, "add a splash of almond milk" he lisps, literally showing a top-down of the almond milk in a pyrex measuring cup. How much? A splash! He got to measure it. Do you? Of course not, fuck you. And that goes for the baking soda as well. He says "a half teaspoon of baking soda" and dumps a pea's worth of baking soda onto a literal kitchen teaspoon. Is this moron allergic to numbers? You remind yourself that in the grand scheme of things it's just a little recipe, it's really not a big deal, except maybe it is bad a little bit in a chinese-water-torture kind of way, because you can feel your thirteenth playback of this video beginning to drive you insane. You feel the brief urge to stick your head in the oven, before you realize preheating instructions are actually after the ingredients list, so you watch it through one more time to learn the correct temperature for your oven. Eventually you mimic the proportions of the ingredients you see on this monument of garbage, and toss it in the oven relieved. Surely, all this is going to work right? The timer beeps and your stupid fucking breakfast bars haven't even risen. OP Is a liar and a fucking moron, and now so are you, for daring to take them at their word. You must now explain to your girlfriend why your breakfast bars are a liquid unrisen sludge compared to the video's beautiful, unreasonably large result. Fuck. Back into the oven with these goddamn breakfast bars. You hope they burn.
