Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Oh shit. New dieting strategy unlocked: guilt. Someone has to make that shit for me. I used to make sammiches at Subway. I'll grab a pre-made salad for lunch today.

I don't think I could even go into a subway with people I haven't leveled with in a social situation, you know the time you're literally required to go to the food place and spend several tens of dollars (ENTIRE TENS). I'd freeze like my pathing broke and fake a heart attack

I've been laid up with the flu for the last few days and the only thing I want more than anything else right now is a couple of spicy potato tacos from Taco Bell

But I don't want to get anyone sick and I'm not driving to the place because it feels like my limbs are made of styrofoam

So yes, fuck it, I've got some Cheez-Its and chicken noodle soup somewhere around here

There's something about protein rich foods like probably not helpful now that you're made of infected pudding instead of meat and bone, but I swear eggs and beans turned things around when it felt like the virus was WINNING last time

@[email protected] also citric acid seltzers (eg spindrift, grpfruit lacroix) are just a godsend for congestion. don't skimp on b12, vitamin D, C, or electrolytes

No worries there, I'm pretty sure I have some grapefruit seltzer

Well, either that or lime

I should be set on vitamins too

what it feels like to have a line item waiting to be prepared

What does this mean?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

working as a line cook, having orders pending, having to make multiple items at once due to differing cook times, etc.

the horror of being a line cook
