I'm here to kill time, make more comments so I have more stuff to read. Otherwise, this is basically Twitter.

I'll scroll through the front page and it's a ton of posts with only one or two comments. We can do better than that. Be commentunists. Semper Post.

Topic of discussion: oatmeal raisin cookies - yes or gulag?

    Careful, having more replies than upvotes is struggle session territory

    I was thinking our comment-to-vote ratio was pretty good. Terminally online, even.

    Also oatmeal raisin is amazing.

      I have a hard time convincing myself to open a thread with only one comment, but will definitely open one with 4+.

      Btw, if you bake, soak your raisins in egg/vanilla/bourbon before adding to the cookie batter

    I just feel like I have not much to say, especially on topics I'm not read up on sometimes. On raisins though I'm convinced store bought are terrible because they are coated i in sugar. My neighbors give my parents a lot of grapes and I have gotten into drying them myself and they taste pretty good. I come from a family of diabetics so using something sweet with fiber seems to be a good substitute for sugar when baking.

      being a blowhard who isn't informed on the topic is an american tradition. also, i like how unburnt cigarettes smell like raisins

        True that, on the cigarette thing I'll take your word on it since I never smelled an unburnt one.Don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

      I just wish the megathread sticky stayed at the top of the all-feed and not just !main, I think that would promote more interaction, though contained to one thread

      I seem to recall a defiant statement of the pre-ban times that we will never stop posting. Then again, we fight less here. I guess it's a fair trade off

        never stop posting ≠ required to always be posting

        sometimes you just gotta go outside and enjoy the rain, comrade.

      Was this some manchurian candidate shit or was it an old people brain shut down? Also, which is scarier?

    Oatmeal rasin cookies are actually good if you appreciate them for what they are but people don't like them because they're expecting chocolate chip.

    The worst oatmeal raisin cookie is worse than the worst chocolate chip cookie but the best oatmeal raisin cookie is better than the best chocolate chip cookie. Getting an oatmeal raisin cookie with the perfect amount of butter to where it nearly melts in your mouth is a divine pleasure that has few rivals

    Oatmeal raisin cookies are the only good cookie, had one like two hours ago and it was great.
