you can also bake one, which helps alleviate some of the guilt.
And you might even be lucky enough to not have to rely on a car to buy the ingredients
You need a car… to buy cake…?
Where I live it’s that or walk 3 miles to the store and 3 miles back holding a cake. You can do a bike, but there’s a good chance it won’t look good when you get home.
You could walk there, eat a 500 calorie serving then walk back and still be in a calorie deficit.
I’m still carrying the remaining 11,500 calories worth of cake for 3 miles?
I normally buy cake in a shop. This person has a very interesting car…
A drive-through bakery!
Yeah, it’s what American’s call freedom.
Except late onset diabetes. Enjoy it while you can.
You can stlii eat cake if you’re a diabetic.
Whenever you want?
Sure you can. You maybe shouldn’t, but you absolutely can and nobody can stop you. No, diabetes won’t stop you, it might just punish you. Especially if we’re just talking about buying a cake, as in the OP.
Mostly yeah. Maybe not, if you bloodlucose is too high allready but usually you should be fine.
Well that’s my point, as a child unless you have type 1, you tend to be able to eat as much sugar as you want without harmful effects. Only parents hold you back.
As an adult you have no parents telling you not to do you could theoretically eat as much as you want (OPs point)… Unless you have type 2 in which case your blood glucose levels need to be considered so you can’t just eat as much as you want long term.
Also juvenile diabetes (aka type 1)
Well of course, but then you never had the possibility of eating as much as you want as an adult to begin with.
True 😭
Opening hours would like to differ. Also your wallet.
I have a pantry and an oven. I am, at most, 45 minutes away from having cake at any given time.
Okay but this is about going to the shop and buying one.
The shops are shut, and I just baked another cake because I can.
Good for you. That’s why I said opening hours are what might stop OP from buying a cake.
Boooooring
I didn’t choose the topic, blame OP.
Some places have big markets open 24/7
Then it’s OP’s distance from such places that may stop them from buying a cake.
Convenience stores often have those mccain deep n delicious cakes. Not the greatest cakes but they are cake.
Those don’t exist where I live. 🤷
And dia-beetus
As I showed elsewhere in this post, diabetes does not stop you from buying a cake. It doesn’t even stop you from eating it, it might just punish you later.
Ah, technically correct
The best kind of correct
Classic old joke:
Guy comes into a bakery, asks for a birthday cake, but has very specific instructions: it has to be German chocolate, with rich, creamy chocolate frosting. Also he wants it in the shape of an ‘S’, he’s very insistent on that.
And he’s gonna stand there and wait until his cake is ready, so they have to make it NOW!
So the baker mixes all the ingredients, pours it into pans, and while it bakes, with the guy watching him closely, he expertly prepares the frosting. Once the cake is done baking, he takes it out, and sculpts out the S shape, using frosting to hold it together. He then covers it in frosting, gives it a nice, professional looking texture, adds some icing rosettes, and even fashions a rose out of frosting.
The baker then presents the cake to the customer, to get his approval. “Is the’S’ shape to your liking?”
The guy says it looks great! So the baker brings out a cake box to pack the cake, but the customer stops him: “Don’t bother boxing it. I’ll be eating it here!”
I don’t get it, why the s shape?
Honestly this far into the male loneliness epidemic, it reads less like a joke and more like a sad night for Sam.
I think the joke is that you wouldn’t expect someone to eat the cake immediately and all of the baker’s work making it look good is largely wasted. Why not just make a normal sheet cake? This doesn’t work as well because the original post primed us all to think about eating a cake by ourselves.
it’s the cool S. what more reason need we?
As long as you don’t eat it too.
I wish there was vegan cake available 24/7 in walking distance. Actually, scratch that, I’d be dead already if it was.
Thanks for reminding me I bought cake this week and forgot to eat it.
I can literally walk and get cake. Get on my level.
After being in a public place I can see that most folks have their daily cake.
I could, but I would almost definitely get a tummy ache
That’s only because diabetes isn’t a person.
Except the ones you can buy at the grocery store now don’t taste as good as good as the ones when you were younger. Now they’re all denser with oils instead of fluffy with sugar and eggs. It’s never going to hit that spot unless your make it at home. Really sad state of affairs.
Better than sawdust I guess but it’s tiring fighting this ongoing enshittification of absolutely everything.
I do that.
Or make pancakes for dinner and such. Not too often, but every now and then.
Good timing too that laziness has set in, and also the realization that cake isn’t really worth all that trouble. I’d rather have a sandwich or something. So much better tasting, guilt free, and healthier. That’s my take. 🫣
