/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Each successive generation is becoming less and less human. Pray for us all.

>Online poll
It's cute when journalists think they are scientists

>>19053369
I mean sure, taking food off of someone elses plate without even asking is rude, but what kind of sociopath would get mad at someone just because they asked to try what you got?

This is the proper etiquette
>That looks good, how is it?
>Pretty good, wanna try some
>sure
>either take their fork and grab a bite or pass your plate for them to take some

>young americans
>millennials and gen z
You realize you're talking about everyone under 40, right? And that 99% of people on this site fall into that age range?

>>19053372
I doubt great great grandma took food from her husbands plate. She'd get fucking smacked.

My mother use to do that on occasion and I'd get so fucking mad. Its like getting slapped. Its the principle. You think you can just take other peoples food like I'm some fucking slave.

>>19053369
When you take a look at everything it's really no surprise that millennials are the most selfish gen. They're extremely self centered and expect everything to cater to them.

>>19053369
Get. A. Job.

>Sixty-five percent even said that if someone asked them to try their food, they’d immediately think about not inviting them out the next time.
>Similarly, 46% would consider it a dealbreaker if they were on a first date with someone who asked to try their food — especially Gen Z (63%), who see this as a major red flag.
they've got to be trolling, there's no fucking way

>>19053372
Get fucked. Only fuckwits want to taste food off your plate. I'm 53.

>>19054345
>hey honey, what you ordered looks good. Can I have a bite to see if I should order it next time we come here?
>NOOOOO this is MY food, how dare you ask to have a taste, don't you know I'll DIE if I don't eat 100% of this 5000 calorie dish all by myself???? You're a fucking FUCKWIT! WE'RE OVER!

>>19054350
Yes. Not like that, but yes. It's over, unannounced. But I've long been married to a decent woman, which you never will be because that kind of bullshit seems fine to to.

>>19054292
They're worried about getting enough food to survive in bidens america. Makes sense to me

>>19054358
I'm 30 and married. When I go to a restaurant with my wife, we always taste each other's dish. If we like both equally we then share all of it, if each of us prefers the other one's dish we swap. Otherwise we go on eating our own dish and being normally constituted human beings.

>>19054345
Go to bed xoomer scum

>>19053369
There is a difference between
>We both wanted to try something new, so we both ordered different things and split our meals so we both could enjoy food and the social experience of bonding over mealtime like humanity has done since the start of civilisation
>This is a potluck style free-for-all, everyone contributed so everyone gets a plate
Verses
>They said multiple times that they didn't want anything and now are trying to emotionally manipulate me by acting cute or gaslighting me as over-reactive after they started stealing from my plate like its a snack buffet, not understanding boundaries and leaving me both hungry and feeling disrespected
>They are a bum, always mooching or being greedy but never paying it forward to others

>>19053369
I share food all the time because I want people to experience my good taste. It's a win-win for them and my ego.

>>19054216
Not true. Boomers have such a fetishized concept of goods and services they think they're entitled to walk over everyone to get what they want.

>>19053372
I know you fans scoff at the word "reactionary" but fuck if it isnt the most accurate term to describe this attitude...

>>19054292
For what it's worth, I'm assuming it's the fact that they just up and ask to try a bite instead of waiting for an invitation. One of those stupid unspoken etiquette rules that would make for an entire Seinfeld episode. Kind of like bad handshakes or standing too close when you're talking to someone is uncomfortable

They've been trained in the 'pecking order' concept of late stage capitalism. If someone 'wants your shit', they're a threat. Hospitality is absolutely fucking _DEAD_. These people are trying to socially climb a rope that has been greased by boomers, so they're cutthroat like a bunch of rats scrabbling for droppings.

>>19054292
It's because they've been raised on tiktok skits of people in relationships raging about girls always wanting to eat off the man's plate. The JOEY DOESN'T SHARE FOOD of the 2000s, except everything in the feed is mushed up into a stream of jokes and bullshit along with genuine relationship advice all presented exactly the same way.

>>19054843
>reactionaries get proven right time and time again
>people still use "reactionary" like it's an insult

>>19054843
You were looking for the word 'reductionist', which is a polite way of saying nonsensical asshole child.

>>19053369
Assuming this is actually true, it's probably because millennials and zoomers are economically struggling more than previous generations.

I noticed that the poll was done by Fogo De Chao which is really strange because thats a Brazilian steakhouse with a giant salad bar. Who the fuck would share there????

>>19053369
>they reluctantly say “yes” to requests to share food because they don’t know how to say “no.”

did they exclusively poll autists?

>>19054957
can't remember their poll being shared on here, no

>>19054941
One non idiot figures out the blatantly obvious from the clickbait idiot topic. Good Job, you won't be cut from Hell's Kitchen.

>>19054943
Steak and salad sounds so good right now

>>19053369
Idk, I love sharing food.

>>19054975
You're probably from a country other than Exploitatistan, or as most people call it, Lord of the Fliesville.

>>19054957
>hi there! do you have fifteen minutes to participate in a poll?
>uhh uhhhh
>poll shows people don't know how to say no
Truly makes one consider.

>>19054345
The fuck is wrong with you? I guess you grew up in shithoundburg. Canada tends to be more sharing, I'm 51 and I don't treat my plate like a poorly trained dog with aggression issues.

>>19053369
Food insecurity and the impending fall of sosiety as we know it. We millennials savor every meal like it is our last.

>>19054984
very strange post

>>19055040
This is the answer. All you kids need to look at the economy like a giant grasping hand that's closing around you. Billionaires have purchased the system and are politically, economically and in every other sense CLOSING THEIR GRIP. I know it sounds sensationalist, but I saw this coming after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fact that Russia didn't transition into a democractic socialist society like Norway where capitalism and social structures can be maintained, but unrestrained corruption will eventually cause an apocalypse. Don't fuck around, it's happening in slow motion to you right now.

>>19053369
I grew up eating top ramen and, as a treat, $1 burritos. It's given me some food issues.

>>19054171
>I doubt great great grandma took food from her husbands plate. She'd get fucking smacked.
This is not how it used to be at all
People in the 1990s and earlier all shared what they had. No one was greedy about food and very few people were fat

I am not sure what the fuck is wrong with you kids, but its disturbing as fuck

>>19054345
Were you raised by a single mom?
This might be the connection here

>>19055076
The dirt poor grow up like feral animals. You take a dog that's never known food security and you'll get your arm bitten off if you touch their food.

>>19053369
Or it might be that this is an only child thing. Not having siblings might mean they were never taught to share.
Or it could be a lack of stay at home moms who had far more time with the kids to model social behavior

In any case, its root is most likely feminism, I am not even joking

>>19054915
Not exactly. Level-headed conservatives are correct all the time, but "reactionaries", who are knee-jerk aversion to new thing, are embarassing. Of course lefties just reduce the two into the same group and hurl the term around like it has any meaning, but like with most buzzwords the accurate usage of the word is perfectly appropriate

>>19053369
>be me
>do a favour for a friend and work a couple shifts setting up their bar
>by the time I'm finished their zoomer staff are in, all catatonic on their phones
>It's break time, they are going to order something to eat
>each single one orders a completely different takeaway from a different restaurant, all paying individual delivery and processing fees
>they all split apart and eat their dinner alone while staring at instagram or tiktok until break is over
>this happened almost every day

>>19055067
Did you get told this at church? Are you fucking retarded? No one was fat in the 80s?

>>19053372
Yeah because we're getting poorer each time. Poverty brings out the worst in people and creates a survival of the fittest mindset where you are competing with those around you.

>>19055327

>>19053369
It's just curtesy to not take people's food, but the disgust is unreal to me.
My wife and I share regularly in public since we both have completely different food habits and people comment a lot. Its unthinkable to a majority of people; I genuinely see germaphobes, personal space obsessives and 'manspreading' types as the same flavor of childish control freaks.

>>19053369
Sharing dies when you’re inundated with selfish foreign strangers. Trust no one

what kind of faggot lets people eat off their plate lmao what nigga

>>19055337
>80% of the US population is at least overweight
oh no no no

If someone just snatches food off your plate without even asking, yes they're wrong. But if you get buttblasted at someone ASKING if they can try a bite from your plate, you're a greedy dick and probably fat

>>19055341
You filth are literally everywhere. Why don't you die in your basement already? You're not going to do anything in life with that level of insecurity.

>>19053369
Well duh! People are filthy. I'm not risking getting cooties from some idiot that didn't order the right thing for themselves.

>>19053369
Some indian in my class took some doritos out of my bag. I didnt care, but i was caught off guard so i looked surprised. He later bought me a bag of doritos and i felt bad so i shared with him.

>>19053415
Holy shit this is the only correct answer ITT. It's not that hard lmao

>>19054154
What point are you making here

>>19054237
ok TV host opera singer man

>>19055320
Wow, that sounds so fucking miserable
Are all young people in extreme emotional pain at all times and just dont realize it?
Fuck me thats the most depressing post i have seen on 4chan in 15 years

>>19055327
Yeah man, take a look at old videos , sure there were a few fat people around but not many, not like now.
The world has changed in so many ways and no one seems to see it

One thing the millennials all seem to share is the inability to see depth in any social interaction , they only see the surface.

When someone takes food off their plate they only see someone greedy for a tasty morsel. They are oblivious to the underlying motivations and the development of trust and rapport.
This generation will never have groups of close friends that stay close for a lifetime.
They are unlikely to have marriages that last beyond child rearing

I wonder what their kids will be like

>>19053415
This. I don't mind sharing at all, but people who DO just reach over and snatch something from the plate in front of ME are literal chimps. Fucking ask.

>>19054398
You ok, bro? Sounds like you have experience with that second greentext. I know that feel, too.

>>19054358
>wow, try this dish dear
>hey that's good, here, have a bit of mine

vs whatever the fuck goes on there. try it out anon, it might make you a little happier

hasn't been my experience as a late Simpson with Spongebob friends

is this a heterosexual thing?

>>19053372
>be raised in low trust communities
>dont trust people

diversity is our strength, goy.

>>19054237
>says the boomer who nepotismed his way into a sweet acting career.

>>19055329
>Yeah because we're getting poorer each time
This is crazy anon. You were born into the wealthiest time in human history.
Most of humanity faced times of hunger.
You feel poor because some people are insanely rich and you are not
In real terms the poorest americans are better off than the richest people from just a few generations ago

>>19053380
that gave us covod remember....

>>19053369
Fuck sharing plates. I don’t want to eat whatever retarded dish your ordered.

>>19055713
You are missing the bigger picture anon

>>19055718
No fuck you I don’t want to do the calculus of making sure everyone gets enough of each dish, let alone the impossibility of catering to everyone’s tastes. Fuck you leave me alone. Also, just fyi, most people do not want to share dishes and are just pretending to be okay with your weird obsession.

>>19055718
>the bigger picture
What would that be?

>>19055733
see
>>19055626

>>19053369
>Young Americans hate sharing meals
I wouldn't be surprised if it comes from experiencing things like this ad infinitum:
>Take bag of tostino's pizza rolls (50 count) out from freezer
>Know you want to eat 16 of them.
>Take 16 from the bag and put into toaster oven
>Parent know you're making them
>Remove cooked pizza rolls from toaster oven
>Start to go back to room / TV / games / etc.
>Parent tells you to give them 2 or 3 of the pizza rolls.
They could have asked or expressed desire when you were putting them in so you could have put 2-3 in for them, but noooo.

>>19055727
>are just pretending
certain people often trouble grasping that others have different opinions and motivations than they do

>>19055744
That is extremely petty anon. To a fully developed human, that perspective is trivial and eclipsed by the love for a parent

>>19055744
Do you think you will ever have children anon?

>>19055626
What is the deeper meaning of someone taking food off of my plate?

>>19055748
others struggle with hyperbole, faggot

>>19055764
Odd place to use hyperbole anon.
And even if you meant some and not all.
No one is pretending here

>>19055777
I’ll leave you and your lucky trips alone. You win this time.

>>19055540
>Are all young people in extreme emotional pain at all times and just dont realize it?
Yes
t. also work with zoomers

>>19055779
whew ive been saved by trips again!
many times in my 15 years on the chins , the digits have come to my rescue

>>19055790
This whole concept freaks me the fuck out. If the young people are not happy , then what the fuck were we working so hard for?
It cant be the fault of the young people , it must be the fault of the parents and their entire generation
These kids are missing something huge and we dont know why but it is for sure our fault ;_;

>>19053369
Piss off, speak for yourself, it was fun sharing stuff in chinatown manhattan with those lazy susan rotating tables, sometimes its just random people with a girlfriend. It was no big deal.

>>19053369
Its foreign morons such as you that try to make a big deal out of nothing, that's why we call you pathetic and useless.

>>19055828
Not OP and not foreign but I really think this generational difference is a huge deal. Something has gone horribly wrong and I dont know what it is

>>19055841
No, you're just stupid and have been watching too much tv like that dumb bitch that you posted there that wears a pizza on her head.

>>19055828
Go protest something and pretend to be useful.

>>19055848
No , the young people are miserable and its our fault just like anon here shows
>>19055320


We fucked the whole planet somehow , humans are supposed to be happy and sharing creatures

>>19053369
no one eats family style anymore.

>>19055752
Where do you see pettiness? My example merely demonstrates poor communication from one or both sides. It's always the little unspoken things, repeated multiple times, that add up until the aggregate frustration boils over or festers a wound / scab.

>>19055759
Eventually, and I won't be doing what the parent in my example does. Unless they're getting fat. Then I'd totally do it.
I understand how important communication is but also understand how much of a pain in the ass it can be when you don't feel like it, so the mid to late teen years and beyond aren't what I'm worried about. It's raising them well enough to that point in the first place that I worry about, if anything.

>>19055931
>Where do you see pettiness?
Where is the joy in sharing something unexpectedly ?
Where you see annoyance, you should have seen happiness
Sharing that pizza roll with your mom even though you didnt think she wanted any, should not have been a negative experience anon
That difference is not trivial at all
Its these small things that build a life worth living

>>19053369
>OnePoll
What the fuck is that?
Do you eurofags just make shit up and expect people to believe it? Are you that jealous?

>>19055951
They're euros, they see anything that promotes their agenda.

>>19054171
your family isnt human

>>19054345
you're older than my mom lmao
go back to facebook grandpa

>>19055690
Well, depends how you define rich.
The smartphone in your pocket has functions which would require a 1980s supercomputer.
But things like basic housing has gone way up.

>>19055690

> In real terms the poorest americans are better off than the richest people from just a few generations ago

Are you retarded or something?

>>19055997
Your moms a whore

>>19054171
You're a grown man being supported by his mom but she can't take "your" food. And you wonder why you're alone.

>>19054171
>My mother use to do that on occasion and I'd get so fucking mad. Its like getting slapped. Its the principle. You think you can just take other peoples food like I'm some fucking slave.

Holy fuck. I think if a kid feels like this, there is no fixing him. That little guy is never going to be a happy member of society.
I am so glad I dont have kids.

>>19053369
>>19053415
I don't like sharing my food. It disturbs my meal that I chose to eat and I paid for when I haven't even taken a bite and someone wants to eat MY food. If someone even asks to try my food, I am not going to eat with them anymore. Majority of the time I go to a restaurant, the only food I'm interested in is the one I am eating.

>>19056100
>order delicious dish that you always wanted to eat
>it arrives, steaming and delectable
>someone puts their phone camera over your food
>then they reach their forks over and start taking from your plate

>>19056138
This is some kind of nightmare to you?
I honestly dont see the problem

>>19055752
>>19055759
Needing to take from someone else's plate every time they eat is a form of domination. That's like needing to let the Feudal lord take your wife's virginity the day you marry her.

>>19056158
It's extremely rude and unmannerly. I'm just going to assume you're trolling because you're suppose to ask before doing something. Do you have sex with random people on the street without their consent?

>>19053369
>Young Americans hate sharing meals
It's a psyop related to "you will own nothing". The people who "love to share" are often the people who will take the most. The type of people who need to eat off of everyone's plates are the type of people who will take advantage of you.

>>19056179
>form of domination
But this is not true

>>19056196
>>19056193
>>19056179
How the fuck did we fuck the kids up so badly that this is how they feel?

>>19055655
I am never okay.

>>19053415
i do this out of courtesy, sharing goes far in people's perception of your character, especially if it's something frequent.

>>19056196
actually, thinking more about it, it makes sense. this generation was always told not to share food and snacks because of food allergies. a couple of losers that god didn't choose ruined it for everyone.

>>19055951
>sharing something unexpectedly
You can't unexpectedly share something. You can't share things against your will. Taking something from someone isn't sharing. Taking a part of something from someone isn't sharing. Asking for something or part of something isn't sharing, nor is it sharing if you offer something in return. The receiver of something shared did not participate in sharing, they were the beneficiary of the act.

>>19055327
>No one was fat in the 80s?
Basically, I lived through the 80's Someone over 250lbs was considered extremely obese. Seeing someone over 300lbs was shocking.

I have no problem as long as the person asks. I'd be annoyed if someone just poked at my food without asking.

>>19055762
If someone is close enough to be able to do that you should be close enough to take a bite of theirs as well. It's called give and take, like a trust exercise. Stop getting offended at everything.

>>19056284
>You can't unexpectedly share something.
What ? you for sure can

You missed important stuff growing up anon. I dont know what else to tell you.
You were supposed to develop a sense that largesse feels good
You were supposed to learn about abstract reciprocity.
You were supposed to learn how to love and be loved
Instead you learned to be petty and miserable
What lessons will you take away from today?
I have learned how to spot people who wont be good cooperators and will not give back and only look out for their own interests

>>19055744
Who thinks about an exact number of pizza rolls? That is some grade A weaponized autism.

>>19053415
This is the proper etiquette
>can I have some of your food?
>no
Order what I ordered or fuck off you fucking asshole. I fucking hate cunts like you.

>>19055808
It's no single generations fault, not even the boomers. Because if you can't blame the zoomers why should the boomers not also get a pass for their faults? It's each successive generations mistakes compounding, no one generation fucked it all up but over a couple hundred years the errors kept piling up until we're close to the breaking point.

It's obvious the people in this thread who act like they're ok with people picking through their food are the ones who do it the most themselves. Fucking disgusting.

>>19056351
So basically it was that whore Eve?

>>19056375
Yeah God should have taught Adam to keep his pimp hand strong. We were setup to fail from the get go.

>>19055870
>We fucked the whole planet somehow , humans are supposed to be happy and sharing creatures

3rd world 100 kids in the state or to survive cholera from street shitting combines with boomer mentality of "the silent generation never said no"... and frankly anyone milennial or younger is probably as a result in it for themselves given the whole shit-show has been fscked beyond belief

>>19055458
That 40 year old's aren't young?

If I was paying for the meal, and the whore wouldn't let me eat some of her food, I would be fucking PISSED.
She would also not get any dick, and I might end up splitting the check.

>>19056340
Sounds like you only learned how to be a faggot on the internet. Keep being a fucking weirdo and shitting up the food board demanding other people do things they clearly don’t want to do.

>>19056344
It's just a 4x4 bruh. If you're not even trying to space your frozen food then you're doing it wrong.
Or are you a lardass who can't comprehend the concept of knowing how hungry you are?

>>19053369
food is waaaaay to expensive these days (especially in B.C Canada) to be shared. i'll cut your fucking fingers off if you try an take a fry

>>19056459
>food is waaaaay to expensive these days (especially in B.C Canada) to be shared. i'll cut your fucking fingers off if you try an take a fry
I spent 35 years in prison for killing my sister when she took the last chicken wing. I'm glad there is another Black PoC that understands.

>>19056464

>>19056468
>I am not demanding anything of you
>I am only trying to figure out what went so wrong with you just in case someone else can be saved.
Okay, fine, I'll admit it.
I had my dick and balls chopped off so I could become a real woman, and now I regret it. I take out my anger and frustration on anonymous strangers on the internet because I am too cowardly to do it in real life.

>>19056501
Jazz bros... do you think he ever gets phantom ball pain?

>>19053369
Not sharing with your boyfriend or girlfriend is just weird.

>>19056524
>Not sharing with your boyfriend or girlfriend is just weird.
Sometimes you just gotta put that bitch in their place. The alpha gets all the good food and all the good mates.
The omega (who you are dating for some bizarre reason) doesn't get shit.

>>19056533
You really have this idea that its about dominance
Where does that come from ?

>>19056550
>You really have this idea that its about dominance
>Where does that come from ?
If it's not about dominance, which you claim, then what is it about?

>>19056560
Its about bonding affirming reciprocity

>>19056564
>Its about bonding affirming reciprocity
How does not sharing affirm that?

>>19056560
>>19056564
Its like when monkeys groom each other
you understand thats about a lot more than keeping clean and free of ticks right?

>>19056568
I am saying that it does affirm it
I am the one arguing that its not about dominance

>>19055744
My mother did that all the time, to keep pushing her dominance around in my face. I could even ask, "Want me to put another piece of bread in the microwave?" and she'd often say no and still ask for half of mine after it was warm.
What a nasty woman.
If it happened every once in a while I'd have understood it as incidental, but she did it very often.

>>19056590
>bread in the microwave
wtf

>>19056598
My family was the sort to get a month's worth of bread from Costco and put it in the freezer.
In general, though, a microwave is better than a toaster for warming up things like bagels and such.

>>19056590
She was trying to teach you reciprocity but you interpreted it in the completely wrong way.
She failed you

>>19056602
toasters use an actual heating element and works just as well if not better than a microwave

>>19056643
I thought it was common knowledge that microwaves fuck bread up. I've neve had bread come out of a microwave in better shape than it went in. If you want to reheat bread do it in the fucking oven or a toaster.

>>19056633
She never gave me anything but beatings: there's nothing to reciprocate to her.
>>19056643
But what if you want your bread soft and moist rather than dry?

>>19056670
put it for less time in the toaster if youre talking about frozen bread

>>19054292
No this is real am 22
It's a litmus test for me, richfags have no food in their house and you ask to try something and they get all O_O on you and kick you out
Literally asking for Odin to knock on your door and kill you
It's because their boomer parents taught them not to share because boomers don't share either alongside school making everyone an individual career eater
They each individually order their individual items from delivery apps and never pool all the food for a feast
Education should be destroyed and people should return to farming cows to find out what eating together actually means

>>19056720
>boomers don't share
This is just not true , boomers are the ones who do this the most. They often order random plates for the whole table to share, especially rich boomers. I have seen it many times

>>19056670
>She never gave me anything but beatings
Single moms are ruining western culture

>>19056573

If I'm having a cook-out, I'll pay for all of the food I'm planning to serve and maybe ask others to bring a side/dessert if they feel like it. If I'm eating at the bar and have 10 wings for $20, I'm not paying $2 for your little"taste".

not true. i grew up as a poorfag and kids traded and bartered their lunches as routine. almost all poor countries around the world has a huge communal dining tradition.

the issue lies in something else with millennials and zoomers who don't want to share. it's some lack of trust, lack of community, or germaphobia.

personally as a millennial, i don't share with faggots who don't share theirs. too many people happily take advantage of one another these days and sees your gesture of kindness as a doormat to be abused.

>>19057253

Perhaps oddly for that article, I generally won't eat from someone else's plate but don't mind if someone eats from mine. Quite the opposite, actually. I'm happy to share. Like a legitimate retard-getting-to-eat-cake tier of happy.
But other people's food choices generally kind of disgust me so I don't typically want to eat from their plates.

They should have included in the poll "who are you willing to share food with under this or that circumstance". People love sharing and swapping food among their friends and family. Not so much with strangers, known mooches, grubby roommates, fwbs, women that seem the type to have men listed in their phone as "free food", and people who said they didn't want anything until you made your own food for just yourself.

>>19053415
Here's the thing. Normally I would agree but I grew up with parents who think it is normal to then take a third of your plate just so they can "try" the food. Same with icecream, they ask if they can try it and half my scoop would be gone and I am left with almost nothing. This kind of shit makes me anxious as fuck.

>>19058642

Blame feminism for creating shitty single moms

>>19057620
That's just wh*te people.

Protip: the moment you're being seated in a restaurant, ask the server for a couple orders of whatever the most basic bitch thing on the menu is "for the table". Baskets of fries, pepperoni pizzas, that sort of thing. Having a snack to share while you're settling in and looking through the menu takes the edge off of people's hunger and that stems the "oh I really want to try a bite of everything" feeling that they have when the food actually arrives.

>>19059107
Do you not know the word appetizer?

>>19058651
Anon if he was a kid when it happened he couldn't portion control his parents

>>19059107
Or, now I am just spitballing here, or you dont be such a fat fuck that needs every single bite of an already oversized meal which is basically every fucking plate of food ever sold at an american restaurant

>>19059128
Nah you still order appetizers as you want, you just pull the server aside and get a couple things coming to the table in immediately, while people are still fucking about with coats and thinking about drinks. It's like breadsticks but upgraded.

>>19059137
I always share my meals.

>>19059139
That's called an appetizer

>>19058906
Anon having most of your food mooched by someone else who didn't just order the food they wanted doesn't feel good. Sharing a bite cause "you have to try this" feels good, "can I have some onions for a fry?" Feels good, having half of the food you ordered get eaten by someone else feels bad, especially if you didn't over order which should be most of the time.

>>19059148
Okay webster, would you like a medal?

>>19059201
Anon, if I am in an american restaurant there is no way on gods green earth I am leaving hungry
If some woman did manage to take half my plate(which I have never seen that happen) I would simply order dessert which I normally never do.

So with my system , instead of having a bunch of feelings that are doing no one any good, once in a while i might have a dessert

>the /ck/ autist is back
Oh dear.

I have also noticed that young people now are very stingy.
So much so that if I give a gift for no reason or buy lunch for everyone , the zoomers in the group are just shocked. Shocked happy if they got the gift and shocked judgmental if the boon went to a peer

>>19056284
This is really fucking sad. Your parents raised you to be a sociopath. If my mom asked me for a pizza roll it would make me happy to share and I’d tell her to have some more. I like sharing things with other people because I’m well adjusted.

>>19059245
You have no idea what I'm like. I share all the time, and I'm perfectly capable of that while also disliking when people take things from me. I share my lunch with my coworkers, I take food to my mom's house when I need to make room in my freezer, I bake cakes and cookies for friends, family and work functions without being asked to. I do not like when people "share" my food with themselves. I'm perfectly happy to give them food if they ask, but I wouldn't call that sharing.

>>19059236
That could come across as creepy, kids are taught to not accept food or gifts from strangers, they might try to stuff you into a black van with its windows painted over.

Hey little girl, want some candy?

you WILL share the bugs

>>19059154
>having half of the food you ordered get eaten by someone else feels bad
That's an extremely beta thing of you to allow. Let them try a little and if they lack the social grace to judge how much is too much, say so. Gosh, as exemplified by my use of the word "gosh," I'm hardly the stereotype of an alpha, but i also understand that generosity has limits and I'll be damned if mine is taken advantage of in so thoughtless a manner as you describe.

>>19053369

When I lived with a roommate I only demanded they follow three rules:
1. Headphones for everything. Movies, music, video games, porn.
2. All food is communal, and they're free to eat anything at any time without asking.
3. Anything else they want to use or borrow, just ask first.

I'm 22, my and all my friends are fine sharing food if it came in a bowl or a plate to be shared, but sharing from individual portions are a no-go, especially some food like curry or something with sauce, but fried food geta a pass if you ask since you can pick it up easily without making a mess, it's a hygiene thing, not a stingy thing unless you are really really fucking poor.

How I am supposed to feel happy when I have nothing to look forward for? Ever since I was a kid up to now I've seen nothing beyond everything getting more expensive than before. I'm not even sure if I'll ever own a house. All the things I enjoy have been attacked by moralists, be them social activists or religious fundamentalists. I can't see any future beyond having to slave my years in a horrible job just to barely be able to stay afloat. I'm wasting my youth on an education system that only keeps demanding more years, I have no fucking money or autonomy. I'm 21 and living like a teenager, and not the fun kind of teenager. My sexual frustration eats me from inside every day to the point I wish I had no balls.

But I see this change in mannerisms in both the upper class and the poorer urban areas. Everyone's walking around with an "everyman for himself" attitude. People don't work with each other, people don't talk to each other, and people don't help each other unless there is a clear obligation or obvious self-gain.

australian here, who the fuck shares food? is that normal in america? nobody would ever touch food on your plate here, nor would they even ask.
its just common sense, if you like something, you buy it, if you see someone elses food that looks good, you dont say "that looks good" because it means youre thinking about eating THEIR food, which is gross. nobody would ever say that here.
