I have done that before. Its great before and during the cake consumption, but afterwards the regret sets in when your bloated stomach tries to digest the consequences of your actions

[–] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I feel like this is one of those things that you'll only ever do once lol

[–] Bearigator@ttrpg.network 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As somebody who used to weigh over 350 pounds, you need to be the thing that stops you. I promise, losing the weight is harder than just not buying that cake in the first place.

It's a cruel joke that life is too short not to enjoy these things, but by enjoying them, you make your life shorter.

As a "European" I never forget that I can just walk around the corner to buy cake because I don't live in a suburban hellhole where I need a car to get food

[–] Rubanski@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds like communism to me

[–] the_seven_sins@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do they have cake in communism?!

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

It's the people's cake for working people!

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

If I wasn't lazy I would be doomed.

Uhg, walking. Sounds like work.

Only thing stopping you is your bank account 😆

[–] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, unless it's decorated, cakes are fairly cheap (especially if you compare it to other foods by calories per dollar)

I'd say the biggest thing stopping most people from doing this regularly is a desire to not get type 2 diabetes lol

[–] theotherone@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eating sugar doesn’t give anyone T2 diabetes. It’s largely a hereditary metabolic disease.

[–] DerKriegs@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're definitely thinking of T1, or health class and the Internet lied to me all my life. Come to think of it...

But for sure you can get T2 from making unhealthy choices with sugar consumption.

[–] theotherone@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Unhealthy food choices in general can help cause obesity which increases one’s risk, as does age; still largely hereditary. How do I know? My maternal grandmother was type 1 diabetic, my mother was T2, myself and all three of my siblings are T2. It’s part of the counseling after your diagnosis. It’s probably better to listen to health care professionals instead of folks on the internet.

Look at this adult with a car. I bet you even claim to have impulse control too!

Wait until they figure out they can buy the cake mixes, and it's possible to make your own cakes, with as much extra stuff as you want. I once made a cake with embedded cookies, and a peanut butter cream cheese frosting. I regret nothing.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There's nobody selling cake in my car. What have I done wrong?!

You need to be driving a food truck

[–] McBain@feddit.ch 7 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately it's usually not available in the older models.

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And eat a whole supermarket rotisserie chicken on your car just after you bought it. Some call it depression, I call it freedom.

[–] mayo@lemmy.today 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Overrated. The real perk is learning how to not eat it all at once

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

That's the most difficult part of cooking/baking. The serving suggestions!

[–] eugenia@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I wish I could... I can't drive, and I have celiac disease so bad that it has destroyed my gut so much, that even gluten free cakes make me sick.

[–] Thyrian@ttrpg.network 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I live in germany, so I cant on sundays, 'cauze everything is closed.

[–] youRFate@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cafés are literally one of the only things open on Sundays here, and they sell cake.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

And many bakeries also are open for some hours on a Sunday. And the shops at a train station.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn, that sounds more puritan than I would expect from Germany.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Na man. We simply care about getting rest on weekends :)

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I guess I associate it with weird old religious laws in the US that have been slowly, but not fully phased out over the years.

Lots of places here can't sell alcohol on Sundays before a certain time still.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, you over there have to conceal your booze in inconspicuous brown bags to carry it around.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Except you might not have a car.

[–] thySatannic 9 points 1 year ago

But maybe you live in a place where you could just walk.

Credit card declines

[–] spiderjuzce@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago

Cake is great for breakfast

[–] E5C0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

BRUCE BRUCE BRUCE BRUCE !!!

[–] SuperSpruce@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks for reminding me I can buy a cake by myself in college for my birthday

[–] PunkBoysDontCry@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

A wild Snorlax blocks the path...

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't even like cake that much, except Princess Cake.

If you haven't tried it, you should... It's really nice.

[–] klemptor@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I prefer cellular peptide cake with mint frosting tho
