Reject hypotheticals, embrace reality.

    Pedantically, this is a counterfactual. A hypothetical is an imagined future flowing from a given present, but a counterfactual is an imagined future flowing from an imagined past. 🤓

    Don't know if this is a reference but it reminds me of the dunk tank post about the Nazi dude being asked what he would do if he was born Haitian

      Think it's referencing that. But yeah, conservative who thinks they're a genius but is literally incapable of considering a hypothetical is like a whole genre.

        I hope it's referencing something like that. Because otherwise, it would sound really reactionary in itself.

    In the 13th century, breakfast when eaten sometimes consisted of a piece of rye bread and a bit of cheese. Morning meals would not include any meat, and would likely include 0.4 imperial gallons (1.8 L) of low alcohol-content beers. Uncertain quantities of bread and ale could have been consumed in between meals.

      I can skip breakfast, but I can't skip coffee, and if I have coffee without breakfast I will probably get a tummy ache by lunch so

      yeah

    Fuck breakfast honestly. Pointless work, pointless meal. Last thing I wanna do when I get up is stand around cooking some fuckin pancakes or whatever. I'll eat when I'm actually hungry not when Big Breakfast has trained me to eat

      Do you want the super savory salty meat pile or the bread soaked in sugar? Or how about just mouthfuls of plain scrambled eggs? Don't forget the greasy undercooked undersalted hash browns. Now, cover it all in ketchup. Them's fine dining.

        Don't forget being tired as fuck while making it, then being tired as fuck after eating. And to top it off it's the least acceptable meal of the day to have a a drink with and tbh it's the meal of the day I could most use some liquid copium with

      I'll fight you alright. I'm Spanish, and making pa amb tomaca for breakfast feels like waking up to a godly meal. I also visited the US for like a week, and I remember my delicious breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns and Cholula sauce that I had one day, or french toast another day (never had french toast before).
