I used to try and gauge how good a recipe I found online is by reading through the comments that people leave below. However, about 10 years ago or so, I had to stop because it seemed like nearly every single one had multiple comments like this, though not quite as extreme. I think some people are like me, they must enjoy pretending to be faceboomers and leaving ridiculous comments on random sites. I still remember one that I read a while ago that gave me a giant chuckle. But most of them just give me heart burn. Then again so does eggs.
I feel like about ten years ago the Internet was invaded by non Internet people. As in there was a large influx of idiots who were previously unable to be online because it required an actual PC, stable internet connection and some know how. Then dipshits with iPhones started posting their dumbass stream of thought messages with voice to text.
I die a little each time I read something and some halfwit used "ewe" instead of "you."
It's called "Eternal September" and happened when AOL started.
Before I was even born. Sorry for being an internet poser and newgen
Are you even old bro?
My first ISP was AOL. It was a kamikaze by words, LOL
Still, worth it because it's important for folks to know their history.
I love recipe comments like these. It is really just insight into how absolutely ludicrous and entitled people are. Why can't your recipe simply bend reality to my will, and modify itself into what I desire to give me the outcome of my dreams.
"Instead of chicken I used an unborn cow's fetus and it tasted a bit funny, 1/5 stars"
We didn't have any potatoes on hand for the potato salad so we used diced up and used our pet clown fish instead. It tasted funny.
Everyone knows you need to debone and remove the funnybone, so you clown fish doesn't taste funny anymore
