the oompa loompas are a greek chorus

[caecilius-est-pater]

First of all, I hate this so much. Second of all, imagine if the two switched places. (Veruca falls into the trash chute) Chorus: Pray thou no more; for mortals have no escape from destined woe. Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness; and reverence towards the gods must be inviolate. Great words of prideful men are ever punished with great blows… (Oedipus stabs his eyes out) Oompa Loompas: Oompa loompa doopity do I’ve got another riddle for you What do you get when you sleep with your mum? A curse on your kids for decades to come~

1) this is hysterical and 2) think about the eons of culture that have lead to the creation of this joke. I am humbled by this.

it’s impossible to  objectively describe what soup is

[meangirlnurse]

cereal with milk

[meangirlnurse]

i mean but soup can have solids in it too (veggies, meat, potato……)

why isn’t cereal a soup

[meangirlnurse]

ok this is actually the best answer i’ve ever gotten and i’ve been joking about this with people for y ears but

milk soup

[meangirlnurse]

some soups are served cold

[meangirlnurse]

sweet soups exist

[meangirlnurse]

good definition, but it technically does still include cereal

[nekosedey]

what if cereal…. IS soup

[meangirlnurse]

CEREAL IS SOUP

this definition technically includes like….pudding and yogurt too, tho, i think

[meangirlnurse]

they said “much of the time.” there are also soups that don’t contain any of those things, e.g.:

soups that are broth only

soups that only contain noodles

matzo ball soup 

[lioncunt]

soup contains water. there ain’t no water in fuckn cereal

[xxyeehawxx]

Milk is approximately 87% water

If I may play devils advocate, cereal could also be considered a salad, with the dry cereal being the main meal, and the milk being a dressing or condiment. Before yall wanna talk about how salads only consist of vegetables, may I remind you of fruit salad, potato salad, pasta salad, bean salad, and the ugly cousin, jello salad.

[lioncunt]

yeah well my body is 60% water but u don’t see me chillin in a bowl with some carrots u feel

[maskedlinguist]

So, hot cereals (oatmeal, cream of wheat, etc) are forms of porridge, ie grains cooked in either a milk or water preparation. Lexically, porridge derives from pottage, which is unquestionably a soup.

Cold cereal is trickier as it has no stage of being cooked in the liquid prior to being served, nor is the liquid cooked beforehand the way most soup broths are (pasteurization is a technically different process from my understanding; I’m also not getting into the hairy subject of the preparation of milk substitutes).

I mean, it’s weird to think of cereal as a soup, but I’m not going to state for sure it isn’t.

[notcuddles]

Cereal is absolutely a soup.  A weird, lazy breakfast soup.

Theoretically, you could argue that the time of day the food is consumed is the key.  I don’t think there are any breakfast soups that aren’t cereal or porridge.  

[funereal-disease]

Pho is traditionally a breakfast food, I think. And some people drink broth in the morning instead of tea or coffee.

[moranion]

How about the popularity of a bowl of soup being served before actual lunch? Makes zero sense to me. I call soups ‘uppity vegetable tea’ in fits of hungry pique. 

[funereal-disease]

I think that’s because liquid is very filling, so it’s good for tiding you over even when it’s not calorically dense.

[prudencepaccard]

I love these kinds of debates, they always lead to “if a man is a featherless biped, then a plucked chicken is a man” kinds of moments. Also, vsauce had an episode about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9ak89FwYeI

[nyxelestia]

I’m just reading through this and now I’m wondering if soup is even real or if it’s just been a figment of my imagination for my whole life.

[nettlewildfairy]

soup is a social construct

crutchie: act 1 vs act 2

[soundlessseaturtle]

Gross sobbing.

[marykatemorrissey]

so HERES how it goes

[pontmarius]

now that the newsies fandom is back into full swing, can we all take a minute and remember the time the toursies left crutchie at the rest stop that one time because he needed to fill his water bottle but didn’t properly estimate the time it would take him to complete such a feat. and the toursies on another bus were tweeting out claiming that they were not responsible for what happened on the other bus so they were basically just mocking zach while he was waiting for his bus to come back and pick him up.

but seriously a huge symptom of depression is sleeping too much, like, when u see ur child sleeping way too much EVERYDAY, ur reaction shouldn’t be ‘they’re so lazy’ it should be ‘maybe something is wrong’

[kalishnikov-deactivated20200716]

!!!

[afrorevolution]

Ughhhh tell my mom

[just-a-spoonful-of-fuck-you]

Tbh if your gut reaction is to assume your child is just lazy rather than thinking something is wrong, you’re probably part of the problem
