Bread is basically just flour + yeast + liquid right..?

Gatorade bread.

You ever have one of those “what am I doing with my life?” moments

[snappydoodle-deactivated2022051]

I was a fool. I thought this would be a bad idea. This is the BEST GODDAMN BREAD I’ve EVER made??? It’s fluffy, it’s chewy, it’s got a perfectly crisp crust. The only flavor it has is vaguely sweet. I’ve already eaten the whole loaf.

@copperbadge …?

I’m not surprised it came out well! Compared to other liquids you can use for yeasted bread, like beer or milk, Gatorade is remarkably non-complex. As others have pointed out, it’s primarily water, sugar, and salt, with a bit of citric acid; you can actually make your own gatorade by adding a shot of vinegar, a teaspoon of salt, and a tablespoon of sugar to 20oz of water. The ancient Romans had a variant of this they called Posca. 

I’m not a chemist or indeed a professional baker but I suspect that the reason OP had such success is that the sugar and salt are great for feeding the yeast and stabilizing/strengthening the dough, and in Gatorade they’ve been mixed in really well so they’re super absorbable. And look at what a fun color it is!

It’s extremely important that I tell you all that this seal is doing the ‘banana pose,’ something seals do when they are feeling particularly happy and relaxed. This seal, looking directly at the cat, is absolutely overwhelmed with Good Vibes, something we can all related to.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s Keynote Address at ADL’s 2019 Never Is Now Summit on Anti-Semitism and Hate

“I’ve searched my conscience, and I can’t for the life of me find any justification for this, and I simply cannot accept that there are on every story two equal and logical sides to an argument”

[ruffboi-mags]

I… have to admit i was kind of gobsmacked to realize that’s the borat guy, but his point is eloquent and good so keep kicking ass, dude.

[j-sillabub]

Despite being known best for his comedy characters, Sacha Baron Cohen is a graduate of Cambridge University, where he earned a history degree after writing his undergraduate thesis on the American civil rights movement. His mother’s family were German Jews and his father’s family were Ashkenazi Jews; he is also the grandson of a Holocaust survivor. He understands this issue all too well.

Be like a peacock spider (Maratus volans) and dance—because it’s the weekend! 🕷 Males are only about 0.2 inches (5 millimeters) long, but they’re famous for their flashy midsection and leg-raising mating dance. To enchant a female, a suitor will display his flap-like body part, called a fan. There are more than 40 peacock spider species including one, Maratus jactatus, that was nicknamed Sparklemuffin for its iridescent scales! It’s a lot to impress a potential mate, but there’s a lot at stake: if a female spider doesn’t like a males’ dance moves, she might eat him alive.
