Guess who just spent 10 minutes researching the surface tension of water.

sir this isn't reddit

>>17333844
yup

I’m high and just spent the last two hours making mushrooms out of modelling clay. Researching surface tension of water sounds like a good plan now.

>>17333789
yo is that water i can bite?

>>17333862
bite? man you could fuck it if you wanted
i bet it feels like those blue slime things from dragon quest

Calling a bland, gelatin/agar blob a "cake" is pretentious as fuck on its own. Even the recipes you find for it will admit it literally has no flavor of its own, which is why you have to put soy powder and sugar syrup. Sure, I guess the texture is supposed to be the primary experience, but I'd like my food to have flavor also...

1) Have sex
2) It's jelly, it won't feel like slime, especially not fictional slime creatures

In 3rd grade, my teacher had me teach the class about surface tension for 2 weeks. Back then, I found it fun, but I still wonder why he made me do that.

I HERD U WERE TALKIN SHIT ABOUT AGAR JELLY
LIEK I WULDN'T FIND OUT

>omg le jelly water is so amazing!!!
>you can really taste the mineral water and agar!!!

How is water jello a cake?

>>17333789
>no purpose
Looks like a great way to supplement food for 0 calorie snacks throughout the day, to help lose weight, and without any phytoestrogens like soy products. And it looks to be super versatile too, I may try a couple recipes.
Not liking something because other people act pretentious about it, makes you just as pretentious if not more so. Just in general it's pretty cringe to base your opinions on the feelings of other people.

I'm a middle school teacher and do that to my kids when they ask retarded questions. Go google it you little faggot, leave me alone and let me collect my paycheck.

>>17333789
food for autists like me who were obsessed with "water cakes" since seeing that ep from one piece

>>17335766
"Cake" is a mistranslation from the Japanese mochi. It's not the pastry meaning of cake, but the meaning of something that's been compressed, like old fashioned yeast or a cake of soap.

Probably just to have you practice the skill of teaching a group something which you know that can't be entirely explained with action alone. Surface tension was just a fun easy topic like you said, and something which a third-grader can wrap their head around at least on the physical level.

would this make a good water balloon, or is it all just jelly?

The weird thing is they're not actually lazy. They put absurd amounts of work into tiny little bites of food, but when it comes to the main meal they feel comfortable saying "fuck it, just serve raw beef".

Bread. It's terrible and shouldn't exist these days.

The egg-in-yolk is flashy, but when eating tartare it makes sense to have it in a bowl as you go through the meat.
Tartare in general is a low-utility dish that is a marker of status but if you like the taste of raw meat there's an obvious purpose,

Making a steak tartare is actually more work than just cooking meat,since the meat is cut into really small bits with a knife, and doing that with the capers and other stuff you put in it too

>>17335205
Better than de-tension

>>17339611
carlos its been 30 fucking years

>>17339611
I fucking hate you, Carlos.

>>17339609
>cut into really small bits with a knife
Why wouldn't you just run it through a grinder or mincer or something? Surely the result is the same.

>>17339611
carloooooooooooooooooooos

>>17339666
it's really not, though tartare can be made with a grinder too, it's not really as good texture wise. there's a reason tartare au couteau, which means with a knife, is preferred. It's also very obvious to the eye, the one which was posted earlier was made with a knife

>>17333903
how would you know

>>17338047
wao COOL

>>17339666
ground tatar is ass compared to hand cut

>>17339396
>Bread. It's terrible and shouldn't exist these days.

Just because you ate too many cheeseburgers doesn't mean the rest of the world has to suffer fatso

I really want to try the agar agar dessert but I don't have the patience to track down the ingredients. Just the idea of a clear food is kinda funny to me. Foodertainment?

Overly complicating a simple dish.
