Ain't nothing like turning to your coworker to ask what they're making and hearing them say "piranha solution".

Some additions from the notes
To everyone who has reminded me that the Percy Jackson movies exist, I hate you, thanks.
I had a spare hour today, so I filmed a bunch of dumb trick shots! Hope they can provide some inspiration for your OCs / art / adventures!
I'll be uploading some longer individual clips to Patreon this week if you need them for art references!
are american biscuits and scones the same thing?
no, they're different
yes, they're the same
settling a debate, reblog for reach
Here’s the necessary clarification for non-USAmericans who are confused by how confidently USAmericans are claiming these are not the same thing: American biscuits are almost identical to British scones. But not American scones. Behold the continuum:
American biscuits:
These are layered quick breads. They are almost always baked in a round shape, and when they're not, they're baked square; you will pretty much never see a triangular American biscuit. They’re usually made with buttermilk, which gives them a nice slightly tangy flavor. They’re not at all sweet on their own, but they’re also not particularly savory, and as a result, they’re a bit of a blank slate: they pair well with butter and jam, but alternatively, they pair equally well with a savory sausage gravy. There are recipes that are firmly on the savory side by virtue of adding cheddar cheese to the dough, but in those cases, people will usually specify “cheese biscuits” or “cheddar biscuits”. American biscuits can be a breakfast food, or a lunch food, or a dinner food, all about equally.
British scones:
These are very similar to American biscuits, but a little bit lighter, and noticeably sweeter. You can have these with butter and jam (or, more likely, clotted cream and jam), but unlike American biscuits, I’d never dream of serving them with anything savory like a sausage gravy. You will sometimes see bits of dried fruit, like currants or dried blueberries, baked into them, but this isn't all that common, and it's basically the extent of weird baked-in flavorings. You will sometimes see these baked into a triangle shape, but more commonly, they are round. They’re great as a breakfast food, but they’re better with an afternoon tea; you’d probably never see them as the accompaniment to a hearty, savory dinner.
American scones:
American scones are denser, sweeter, and significantly more buttery than British scones, without the more clearly defined layers that British scones have. They are almost always baked in a triangle shape, and only very rarely baked round. American scones come in a variety of flavorings – it's not uncommon to find pumpkin spice scones, double chocolate scones, lemon strawberry scones, blueberry scones with fresh blueberries baked right in, etc. It's also not uncommon to find them glazed, like a doughnut (but usually slightly less so). You do not typically top these with butter or jam, or indeed, with anything – they are eaten as-is, as an accompaniment to coffee or tea. They are mostly a breakfast food, though they may occasional feature at an afternoon tea, if someone even has one of those, which in the States, people mostly don't.
American cookies:
American cookies are exclusively a sweet dessert. They are often baked soft, and best eaten warm, although they're perfectly fine to eat cooled, and you can certainly find shelf-stable cookies in stores (which are usually hard, rather than soft, see eg. Chips Ahoy). Oatmeal raisin cookies come the closest to the place that American scones leave off, and it isn't very close. All sorts of flavorings and mixed in bits are common, although chocolate and nuts are more popular mix-in additions than dried fruit. Glazes are fairly uncommon, but not unheard of. The archetypal accompaniment for American cookies is a glass of milk, although they're perfectly nice to enjoy with tea or coffee. They are not, however, a breakfast food. Americans do consider shortbread and gingerbread to both be types of cookies, but if you refer to "cookies" in the abstract, those aren't what people typically think of.
British biscuits:
British biscuits are like American cookies, but pretty much always hard and served at room temperature. I've even heard the opinion that a British biscuit should always be "crisp", with softness as a sign that a biscuit isn't fresh. Americans are familiar with this style of treat, and generally think of British biscuits as "the type of cookies that you get in a tin" – they're very much a thing in America, but they're considered a smaller and much less popular subset of the broader "cookie" category. Like American cookies, these are often eaten as a dessert, but they are much more commonly seen as an accompaniment to tea than the American cookie is.
Tl;dr: This is like an even more complicated version of the crisps/chips/fries thing, I’m afraid. We're simply talking about different things.
Also, British scones and American biscuits just,,,,,the Texture isn’t the same.
In fact, try making American biscuits from scratch anywhere north of Lousiville, KY or west of Tulsa, OK and you’re gonna have a problem (that is only semi-fixable): the flour just ain’t right.
In the South, you generally use a very popular pastry flour called White Lily. The reason is it’s ground from winter wheat, a less glutinous and hardy wheat variety only grown (at least on this continent, there are less glutinous wheats in southern Europe) in the American South. It is also UNBLEACHED. The less glutinous flour gives the biscuits the crucial flaky texture, without which they’re sad and not worth it.
You can use cake flour, which is widely available, and it’ll improve the texture from the sad waste that is biscuits with normal flour, but buttermilk reacts different with bleached and unbleached flour, so they’re not gonna be great with sweet pairings if you use buttermilk *and* bleached cake flour. It’s gonna be too sharp and tangy.
White Lily is only regionally available, even after they were bought out by a bigger food company. Europeans, if they have access to lower gluten, unbleached flours can give biscuits a try and then realize why we don’t consider them the same thing. Northerners and everyone west of the Mississippi (except a few cities in Texas) can try to make do with cake flour, but maybe cut the buttermilk or use milk and cream of tartar to customize the amount of tanginess.
But yeah. Even a lot of Northerners aren’t getting good biscuits. My nana refused to make em when she moved north because she said they tasted bad and didn’t know why.
They did it again
fun fact about me: When I was 6 years old I sent so much hate mail to the president (the second Bush) that the mail carrier had to tell my mom I needed to stop before we got FBI’d
I was COMPLETELY unaware of the US political scene or why the adults in my life hated Bush, but I knew I hated him because he let people shoot wolves from helicopters and that’s mean and shitty
I also had a poor grasp on how stamps worked, so given that I wasn’t allowed to continually throw money away by putting stamps on my presidential hate mail, a lot of the times I just drew squares with little pictures inside on the corner.
Love, love, love reading more proof that everyone should encourage the children in their lives to write to elected officials--it teaches them about citizenship and can also be very funny.
When I taught second grade, one of the options for students who had finished their work was to write a letter to the president. I would send all of the letters in a big envelope at the end of every month.
Watching my students get more and more frustrated with him (and concerned about his wellbeing) was not the result I'd hoped for when I came up with the idea, but it was kind of hilarious.
See, Obama had a standard packet with information and activities about his dog he'd send in response to letters from very young citizens...and of course his office sent one back to our class every single time we sent mail.
So eventually all of the letters looked something like this:
Dear President Obama, I am writing about the environment. I am sad that the Great Barrier Reef is hurt. Also the Amazon Rainforest. Can you help? PLEASE DON'T WRITE BACK TO TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DOG AGAIN. WE ALREADY KNOW ALL ABOUT BO. WE COMPLETED THE MAZE AND COLORED HIM IN. It is good that you love your pet a lot. But try to remember the environment. It is also important.

Anyone who has ever met an amateur restaurant owner: They probably have to cut so many slurs from that show. I know ten people like this and they're all dumber than a box of rocks.
"these people can't be this stupid it's a trick of the editing."
It's good to be conscious of how reality tv alters our perception of events and makes people into the most sensational versions of themselves. But please understand that "demographic that has enough spare income and misplaced confidence to start a restaurant with zero experience" is the group of people who stormed the capital.
Alright.
Now the first post makes sense.
I once worked in a pub where the chip oil was so dirty it was black, but the owner never let us change it because oil costs money.
I was like, you know this is going to catch on fire if we don't change it, right?
And he went, no it won't lol don't worry sweetheart.
It caught on fire.
And after I went about shutting off the gas and getting the extinguisher, I came back to him

So no. While Kitchen Nightmares is probably edited to enhance the drama, those people are absolutely out there and they are stupider than you can imagine.
