eating

It's really common these days for people to have a few dietary restrictions. There's nothing inherently wrong with excluding a couple of things for health, or environmental reasons, but obviously, some restrictions are more serious than others. Whatever the case may be, if you know you have some pretty strict food rules, you can't really go around assuming people will prepare the appropriate food for you. Unless you wear a sign everywhere you go, you need to vocalize to people what you need, we're not psychics after all.

It's no secret that the stars dictate our lives, from job promotions to friendships to sex lives. Obviously, hot girl summer calls for a helluva lot of partying, and drunchies (read: drunk food cravings) are inevitable to follow. Because the cosmos call the shots about literally everything, it makes sense that our deepest food cravings would be inexplicably tied to our horoscope. Because science, b*tch. In conclusion, you're entitled to scarf down the following drunchies all summer because the zodiac says so. You're welcome. 

As much as you love your significant other, it takes a while to get used to their weird quirks. But what about getting along with their buddies, and all the quirks that come with them too? That's what this Reddit thread is all about. For a little sneak peek into the drama, a girlfriend snapped at her boyfriend's buddies who wanted to join a trip, claiming all they did on a previous trip to Disney is eat. Redditors ultimately deemed her to be the a**hole in the situation, but what do you think? Scroll down for more context and let us know in the comments. 

I personally go extremely out of my way just to be polite, so I'm not surprised to hear that other kind-hearted suckers have to. On a Reddit thread, one of the users asked others about the worst things they have eaten just to be polite, and the responses got super gross and random real quick. I didn't realize food could go wrong in so many ways, yet here we are. Let's take a shot in honor of these poor people who were victimized by their own politeness. Scroll down for the total gruesomeness that awaits you. 

The past year has been a big one for takeout. Being stuck at home day in and day out means that cooking has somewhat lost its' novelty. Back in the day, AKA in 2019, we had restaurants to turn to when we needed a break from the kitchen. But nowadays, ordering takeout is our only option, and people are taking advantage of it in a big way. These tweets sum up the joys of ordering takeout over the past year and how our local Uber Eats driver has become our new best friend.

All first-time parents can relate to the never-ending, panic-inducing task of sterilizing their baby's bottles. All. Day. Long. Seriously, the lengths we go to keep our eldest kids safe, ensuring that every piece of feeding equipment has been washed with hot water, soaked in bleach, and then washed in more hot water. Just in case we missed a microbe of dirt. Our hands may be scalded and raw, but we'll do anything to keep our babies protected, right?

Meanwhile, our little angels sit there eating trash out of the garbage, picking up bits of dirt from the floor, and putting anything and everything they can find in their mouths. I mean, what is the point?! And so, when it comes to our second child, quite frankly, they can eat whatever they want, from wherever they want. And sterilization can f*ck right off!

Here are some of this week's top shower thoughts, but with a twist. Welcome to the greatest philosophical insights of the average Joe all about food. They'll make you question everything you thought you knew about food, eating, and all things cooking related. 

And in case you missed last week's top shower thoughts, here they are.

Reddit user u/pizzwhich29371 asked the chefs of Reddit what are some red flags people should look out for when eating out and was flooded with tons of advice. We've gathered 20 of the top responses but there are thousands more here if you're interested.
