How do we know it's a jam doughnut? What if it's a custard doughnut?

[–] afb@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Reddish tint around the mouth suggests jam IMO

Probably the least dangerous thing to eat there

Can I check which country you think the previous post was about?

Only bat-shaped gummies, i'm afraid.

Krapfen are the traditional snack in the time called "Fasching"/Shrovetide, which starts on 11.11. on 11:11am, and lasts until "Faschingsdienstag"/Shrove Tuesday.

Is this how COVID-19 started?

It was freshly made, so they couldn't help but take a whiff of that delicious smell. The rest is history.

Do you want a pandemic?

Because that’s how you get a pandemic.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago

Depends on the pov though, the donuts hole is very different compared to the bats hole.
