it's like damn are people like not born in the 90's anymore?

[tothewhirlwind]

this all goes back to how sometime around the late 90s/early 2000s they stopped making people born in the 90s and switched over to making people born in the 2000s. it's not a coincidence

Are you sick of the tired, hackneyed delights of stereotypical pleasure planets? Bored to death of the same pristine beaches and blue lagoons every vacation world seems to offer? The infinite luxuries of tropical paradises got you down?

Why not try something… different?

Spend your next shore leave suffering the miserable drudgeries of Moisenglurk, the galaxy’s premiere displeasure planet. Stroll the goose poop strewn mudflats downstream of the industrial cooling pools. Breathe the sulfurous air of the volcanic mining district. Hike through the manmade forests of Bradford pears or bike along the congested superhighways that are always within earshot. With an average gravity 1.2 times greater than that of Earth, you’re guaranteed to feel the burn.

The wonders of the outdoors not your scene? Moisenglurk boasts a vibrant nightlife of pickpockets, cutthroats, and opportunistic but unimaginative sex pests. Immerse yourself in local hospitality and soon you too will be running on “factory time”—a ruthlessly efficient corporate standard designed to maximize productivity and marked by the discordant blaring of alarms, independent of the natural seasonal cycle or the circadian rhythm.

Should you run into any trouble during your stay, Moisenglurk public officials will be more than happy to relieve you of any remaining valuables.

Moisenglurk: Something different. Something worse.

One of my more questionable choices as a pet owner is that sometimes when Ollie needs to be distracted from something I'll wipe a little bit of ranch dip onto his feets and call him "little mister salty paws" while he scoots around licking it off

here you go sir

[adderall-juice]

thank you

Caught Ollie scratching at my laundry basket so now he has his own

So far every time I set it in front of him now he's jumped straight in, no questions asked, and upon further investigation he seems to enjoy being carried in it from room to room

Tried a lychee fruit for the first time yesterday

Way too much work to peel without any tools. Also the Ramune lychee flavor is pretty accurate. Overall I'm glad I tried it but now I have leftovers that will go bad

So let's see if it tastes good in a pancake!

[lazeecomet]

This thing is a pain in the ass to cut up

I get why it's squished into a drink

Lychee and blueberry pancakes coming up

[lazeecomet]

Look at my perfect pancake!

Anyway the results:

Control Pancake (no mix ins): a very underwhelming pancake. I had high hopes for this king Arthur branded all purpose mix since it needed an egg and oil added in. It probably needs vanilla or something. Reminds me of those whole wheat pancakes my mom use to make

Lychee pancake: overall a decent pancake. The lychee softened up a little but it's high water content meant it was hard to get the batter cooked around it. The lichee juices added a nice flavor that this pancake was desperately missing

Lychee and blueberry pancake: blueberry overpowered any flavor the lychee had. Blueberry remains the GOAT pancake mix in for a reason. (2nd place is bananas because they stick to the pan)

Lychee and blueberry with vanilla pancake: any memory of the lychee is gone now. The pancake is better but there's nothing left for the lichee other then when you find a chunk of it. And it's firmer then the blueberry so the texture is off

Vanilla pancake: yeah I'm not going to use this baking mix for pancakes ever again. Krusteaz nailed it and it's cheaper
