This is a dumb question, but I can't take this anymore. I have to ask.

What's with all of these weird craft videos online and why are they like that? Is this some sort of satire I don't get because I haven't been here long enough? Who is this for?

I mean, baking an entire multi-colored cake only to cut a slice and freeze it in resin... That's got to be some kind of joke I'm not getting, right?

go to sleep

[followyourstar]

I don't sleep...

[followyourstar]

Beats me. It seemed kind of wasteful... It's just going to rot in there and ruin whatever it was put in, isn't it?

[immortalpoet]

so you mean you're just


sitting there?

[gimu]

gross.
it could have been eaten.
how could that happen?

[followyourstar]

Not exactly...

It started off as research.
I don't have an answer as to how it got to this point.

[the algorithm is a strange and mysterious beast.]

[followyourstar]

[Wow, this guy's really put out about this]

They only showed one slice...
Maybe the rest was eaten?

[They doubt it, given the crimes that were done to that one slice, but that's not what this guy needs to hear right now.]

[immortalpoet]

what were you even doing research on

[gimu]

[ desserts, as choso has discovered, is one of humanity’s greatest achievements, and the only one really worth mentioning in his strange eyes. ]

give me the name of the creator.
i will have a talk with them about food waste.
just a talk.
a little talk.

I was trying to figure out what a "life coach" is.
It's my "job" here. Apparently.

[immortalpoet]

that sounds like a fake occupation


is that really a thing

[followyourstar]

Sort of?
"A life coach is someone who counsels and encourages clients through personal or career challenges."

So
I guess I have some experience with that.

[immortalpoet]

why do you need to watch videos then

you already do that stuff. waste of time, dante

[followyourstar]

[uh oh]

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to do that.
I saw other videos with different people each time, so it might not even be one person.

You may need to refine your search terms and disregard irrelevant suggestions.

[followyourstar]

I didn't think it'd be that easy, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything...

[wait.]

Hold on.
I'm awake because I don't sleep. Why are you awake right now?

[followyourstar]

Yeah, I'll have to keep that in mind in the future.
I only watched a couple out of curiosity and now it's all I'm getting. I guess that's how they get you.

[gimu]

i see.
it is endemic.
how unfortunate.
i will be very busy then.

[followyourstar]

[UH OH.

Time to change course!]

So I take it you're a big fan of desserts then?

[immortalpoet]

i don't sleep. i just dream

[followyourstar]

[(metaphorical) squint]

I can't tell if you're joking or not.

[gimu]

yes.
they are, in fact, delicious, and hard to come by around here.
but there is a golden ball man recently arrived who is willing to make such things.

[penaltypoints]

Indeed. It seems that those videos deviate from the original subject entirely.

[followyourstar]

I think autocorrect may have gotten to you near the end.
A what man?
