Social Media itself doesn’t imo, but if a food becomes trendy, often times restaurants or bistros try to sell that food and do it badly, but cheaply. So people who don’t know better could buy it there, at times increasing issues for people who (1) make a good but pricier option or (2) want to find good options but are overwhelmed by bad ones. In my opinion, this happened with Chimney Cakes for example. They have Hungarian and Romanian roots and in the original form I think it’s a very nice treat. But a stale and weird version filled with shit like ice cream has become so popular for tourists, that it has become harder in many places to find good, fresh chimney cake.

Everyone is obsessed with ruining Pizza, so our regional “Dünnele” (or I think “Dinnete” for Swabians) is very unharmed. Like, if someone sells “Dünnele” I’ve never seen them be shit or butchered.

As a German: There’s nothing to ruin, it’s already shit

That’s the main way I cook because I’m usually not good enough of a planner to buy groceries with a plan in mind for more than maybe 1 or 2 meals. So we are always stocked up pretty well for what little space we have in our flat.

1: I’d usually trust “a psychologist and a couple of psychiatrists” over “one support worker”. But of course that doesn’t automatically mean they are right in your case.

2: I don’t generally struggle with eye contact at all. What I do struggle with is continued eye contact, like more than a few seconds long. But regardless of who I’m talking to, because I just get bored looking at their eyes.

I mean, being a pet seems like a really good life if you have good owners
