Do (You) miss your mother's cooking?

Just a handful of things I haven't figured out how to replicate, like her spring rolls. They took her two days to make and would puff when fried.

LOL no both of my parents were terrible cooks. It's mainly why I got interested in cooking myself. By high school I was making the lion's share of dinners in the house.

>>21657379 (OP)
no.

my mother and her lazy cheap welfare cooking is why I no longer eat shepherds pie, or spaghetti. it was why I took over most of the cooking in my teens.

the only people I know who miss mommies cooking are "men" who never learned to cook, and don't know what good food actually is.

>>21657379 (OP)
yes before my father lost his taste buds and got addicted to sugar. now my mother cooks to his taste. once in a while for family gatherings she cooks normally and it's good

>>21657379 (OP)
there was nothing my mother ever made that was memorable or extremely good. it was ok at best, if anything it inspired me that I could do better, and have.

My mother-in-law was not much better, the one things she make that was good was thanksgiving and christmas dinner. she also made the best cookies ever.

My dad cooked better than my mother but even his food was mediocre to what I make for myself.

the last time I thought my moms food was good, I was probably 10. The same for my dad. they divorced when I was 12 and he went away, and my mothers food went to shit.

>>21657379 (OP)
Yes, but the sad part is that my mother is still alive. She had a debilitating illness some years ago, but mostly made a full recovery. However, in her older age, her cooking skills have declined severely. She used to be renowned as the greatest cook in my extended family, but now sometimes I have to pretend to enjoy her slop. Everything she cooks with is from a can or a bag, almost nothing from scratch. And it's almost like she can't tell or taste when things are done. A lot of time we'll have lasagna or something and it won't be fully puffed up because it wasn't cooked long enough at a high enough temperature.

If ever try to kindly point any of this out she bursts into tears. Aging is so hard bros

>>21657420
>If ever try to kindly point any of this out she bursts into tears
I made my mother-in-law cry because I dared to suggest that she change the sage in her stuffing. everyone was having to pick stems out of their mouth when they ate it despite how good it was. since she passed away I make her stuffing but I pick out the dried stems, or use fresh sage if I can get it.

my mother-in-law wanted thanksgiving dinner to be EXACTLY the way she had been having it for 75 years despite having sticks in the stuffing. because that was how her mom made it (or something stupid like that).

>>21657379 (OP)
I still get to eat it occasionally.
Also serena sexoo

>>21657379 (OP)
God no !

>>21657428
You sound like a little shit. Of course you didn’t get it.

>>21657379 (OP)
Ash should've nailed Serena when he had the chance

>>21657450
yeah fuck off. 27 years of going to my mother-in-laws, and picking sticks out of the stuffing, and expecting it to get better. how would I know that suggesting to make an improvement to something and not annoy everyone is not being a little shit.

I would never EVER let my food get to the point of someone asking for an improvement. The first time I make something myself, and there is anything that ruins the experience I FIX IT!

if someone does point out a problem with something I make, then I will consider it, if they are correct I take their advice. I don't cry. I only found out about a lot of her hangups over time, and especially when she could no longer cook and my wife and I were having to make thanksgiving, and putting up with her pouty looks if it was not exactly her way. which prompted me to just stop doing holiday dinners and leaving her to eat out somewhere. I no longer do big holiday meals, the wife and I enjoy a quite dinner at home with whatever nice I come up with. I/we are free now.

>>21657379 (OP)
No and in fact my mother is the world record holder in watching cooking shows on TV but never made anything new or improved her cooking skills

>>21657379 (OP)
>Do (You) miss your mother's cooking?
Not anymore. When I was young and just getting out on my own I did miss it. But it was a comfort thing. I'm 40 now and have my own family. Everything my mom used to cook which I thought was good, I learned and made my own through improvements and alterations based on what my family likes.

>>21657379 (OP)

She made a few things that I do look back at with nostalgia and would still devour with impunity, even if on a strict culinary level they wouldn't be any good. She tried making nutritious things for me when I was younger, but it was never to my tastes, though I am thankful that she was conscientious of wanting to feed me nurtritious things, and I really should thank her for that. Cooking was never really a passion for her, but she does still try new things for people here and there on special occasions.

>>21657453

Bro, they're not real. It's never "too late" for cartoons to "nail" anyone.

No, because I still visit them regularly and eat her food.

>>21657453
How do you know he didn't?
The camera isn't on them the whole time ya know. Huge timeskips where who knows what could have happened.

>>21657379 (OP)
My mom tries but she's not very good at cooking. She always brags about not needing to use measurements and then afterwards unironically complains about her own food having either way too much or too little salt.

Fuck no, she's an anti-salt health freak boomer with no knife technique and who's too stubborn to not cook every single thing on a high flame so most of what she makes is giant blocks of inconsistently cooked completely flavorless vegetables

>>21657379 (OP)

No, she only knew hot to make made a couple different hotdishes and frozen pizzas.

>>21657379 (OP)
Do I miss microwave dinners, crisps and soda every night in front of my PlayStation while I wait for her to come home? Not really, but I miss when video games were good.

>>21657379 (OP)
i live with her. her cooking is pretty basic though, her food is usually a bit too salty for my taste and her salads are always drenched in vinegar and salt

>>21657379 (OP)
Yeah. She got better at cooking over the years.

>>21657379 (OP)
I love my mum but no, everything she made was usually awful or tolerable at best. I became very fat as a kid because I preferred to eat junk food over whatever she made.

I love it.

I know it's not amazing nor would I expect anyone else to like it, but it's suited for me.

>>21657379 (OP)
My mum couldn't cook to save her life, and my dad wasn't much better but tried pretty hard as I got older. For me it's my nan's cooking, she always put on a great feed or just had amazing baking around.

>>21657379 (OP)
No. Two memorable dishes from my childhood:
"White Trash"- cook ground beef in a skillet, add ranch style beans, serve with kraft mac n cheese
Chicken spaghetti: boil the hell out of chicken in unseasoned/unsalted water, discard water, shred chicken. Mix boiled chicken shreds, cream of mushroom soup, a can of rotel and put into a baking dish, top with shredded cheddar cheese, bake.
The white trash wasn't that bad even though kraft sucks. I wouldn't ever make it again. Chicken spaghetti was awful though.
We also had stuff that was fine like spaghetti with jarred tomato sauce added to skillet cooked ground beef and white people tacos using seasoning packets. Still nothing really worth missing though.
My parents are better cooks nowadays.

I lived with a single alcoholic mom because courts hate dads. She had her flaws but she made the best porkchops and mac&cheese. It wasn't even a complicated crust on the chops, just black pepper and salt and maybe some garlic powder, and the mac was kraft. But it was amazing, especially with a dab of ranch and an episode of the Simpsons on the tv. And then I'd go play Rollercoaster Tycoon or Spy Fox on the computer. I miss these simple things. She made good homemade dumpling soup too.
I also learned how to turn a stove burner off because she passed out drunk one night when I was 7 and she left it on.
Anyway, call your mom anon, they're not long for this world.

>>21658002
I only ever ran into 2 kids that had their Dad as a primary custodian, and I think its because their moms just up and left and wanted nothing to do with any of the family anymore.

>>21657379 (OP)
My dad handles most of the dishes in the house thoughbeit but my mom bakes a lot and makes salads & sides.

>>21658016
I guess I'm lucky because I have two intact parents

>>21658016
Yeah, checks out. Went to a bar with my dad a few years ago and he finally told me all the legal hurdles he went through to get custody of me. It became too expensive and his lawyer told him it was just gonna get harder. Shit's fucked.
Anyway, I love cooking :D

No. She's still alive and makes a fine Thanksgiving dinner, but she rarely actually cooked. My dad can cook, but also didn't do it often. Almost nothing ever required a knife or prep work beforehand.

There's some things I have a weird old affinity for. She used to make "chicken surprise," which was just chicken breast, cream of mushroom soup, and white rice, just basically thrown into the oven.

I'll say this, my dad had more cooking disasters than my mom. One was his american version of "bangers and mash". the peas were from a frozen bag and soggy and not flavorful, the mashed potatoes were from a bag and he managed to fuck that up, and the sausages were just crap.
Then another day he attempted ribs. He marinated them over the course of a day and then threw them on the grill for too long. They were basically blackened charcoal at the end of the process. We still joke about the Rib Chips.

>>21657379 (OP)
Sometimes, though mostly what I miss is living with people who eat vegetables, it's hard to keep the stuff for great salads on hand in quantities one burned out person will consume. That said I cannot replicate her butternut squash soup, and the quality of produce where she lives is just better than anything around here.

>>21658126
Similar for me, I can make the meat and carb dishes as well but I can’t do the veggie stuff

>>21657428
I don't get why people cry about stuff like that. You just criticised the food, not her as a person

Kys pedo freak

>>21658415
I'm not gonna kys you, sorry

>>21657399
You're me. My mum nearly poisoned me with raw chicken fajitas once, so I had to learn.

>>21657379 (OP)
She still lives in town and I regularly bring food over to her that I cook, and she gives me food she's cooked. I've spent every thanksgiving since birth with my family cooking our dishes for each other and consider myself incredibly lucky for this.

>>21657379 (OP)
Never met her. My fake mom was OK at baking but in retrospect I should never have eaten any of that shit though the lemon bars were good.

>>21657399
The people who miss their mother's cooking are blessed enough to have had a mother whose food was worth missing, unlike yours. Sorry you drew the short straw on parenting and IQ but you don't need to pretend your mommy issues are anything but that.

He admitted himself that he was raised by a lazy welfare whore who fed him poison growing up so of course his perspective is going to be skewed by such a lousy upbringing. I pity him but he's not going to get over his baggage until he can admit to himself that he's the problem, not well-adjusted people with proper good memories of a proper loving household that he never had.

>>21657379 (OP)
Yeah. Growing up I always considered it kinda boring/took it for granted but in hindsight I can see her meals were healthy and had lots of nutrition. I learned later that she used to cook for people on ranches... lots of meat and potatoes, veggies. Also different kinds of stews, salmon, stir fry. The meals tended to be very well balanced. Whenever I get to eat her cooking I feel strong afterward.

My dad can't cook crap for himself and was a serious asshole about forcing her to cook all the meals.

I visit my parents every week and my mom cooks for us. She's good at cooking and I learned a lot of the basics from her, then started doing my own thing when I moved out. She freely admits that I make some things better, and sometimes I will cook for us.

I bet I will miss it once she's gone, though, and I'm afraid of it.

love is not an ingredient. your mom made shit from the back of a can, or box. she had no actual ability to cook. A real man can cook without a recipe, with what he has a round, and it will be better than anything mommy might make. now get out of your moms basement and be a man.

Sure but it's pretty obvious what happens when a parent doesn't give a shit about the kid she's cooking for. That's what that anon meant. That's why original anon is so bitter about people whose parents loved him. If his mother cared she would have done better and he would have learned cooking alongside someone who could pass on recipes that weren't canned spaghetti, but she didn't and it shows.

my mother has been gone for about 10 months now. Most of what she made was simple stuff, some boxed, some canned, some homemade (she would spend all day on a ragu, or a soup, or chicken and dumplings) and she had a recipie box full of stuff from her mom, her husband's (not my dad's) mom. There was one casserole she'd call mexican casserole that i fucking loved when i was a lad. But most of the time, i just miss her in the kitchen. Because she'd go "hey, Brian, help me peel potatoes" or have me pick up her pot of boling water to dump it because i'm over a foot taller and she was also my mom and could just tell me to do things. I miss talking to her about what was for dinner, or what she was doing because when i was a kid i didn't live with her until my dad got too abusive. And really, i just miss my mom, anons.

My mommy makes the best baked chicken with fluffy jiffy dumplings in cream of chicken soup and other stuff. The dumplings are so fluffy and big I remember as a kid waiting for them to be ready was torture. I've asked her for the recipe like 10 times and keep forgetting it

>>21657379 (OP)
My mother's "cooking" consisted of putting frozen food in the oven or boiling pasta, luckily I had a dad that actually made things from scratch.

>>21657465

>>21657379 (OP)
I miss how I felt about it growing up. I thought she was a really good cook but now that I do my own cooking I realize she is not. That, or maybe she has started not giving a fuck now that her sons have moved out because my dad will eat anything. Sometimes I tell her what I am making and she will excitedly tell me about something she made the night before that sounds like absolute shit

>>21658311
The quality of produce is a huge part of it, I despise the people of CA but they grow the best vegetables in the country. Farmer's markets here are few and far between, and even the stuff on offer there is mid quality at best and way overpriced. That said I enjoy not getting stabbed or locked up for being a white male, so I can't go back to the Bay.

>>21657399
As other anons have said, don't lump us who didn't grow up poor and with shitty cooks as parents in with your own sob story. Life isn't fair, and sorry you got the shit end of the stick and your father left you and your mother alone in poverty.

Glad it wasn't my life.

It's been a few years since then but weeew i fucked up pretty hard

I just miss my mom.

What if mom made GOOD food? Why are you assuming most moms can't cook? Most moms cook amazing food as was passed down from their moms.
You got shafted. Condolences.

i miss my grandmas cooking

>>21657379 (OP)
No, literally none of it.

She tried, in the way a single career-woman will, but there was nothing she made that I ever cared to replicate after I moved out.

I do cook some of my grandma's traditional recipes though.

Not really. There are some good memories, but overall her cooking was (and is) pretty sad. At this point I get a bit queasy just seeing a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup. Because that shit went into everything.

In her defense, over the years as I've looked back and become more aware of just how fucking poor we were for a family with four kids.

my dad did more of the cooking and my mom was more of the baking

>>21657379 (OP)
No because I worked my ass off for a Master's and get a clinical certification in the field only to be paid like shit, and I'm too poor to move out

She's a wonderful cook though so it's one of the upsides

>>21665374

I'm one of the few on here so I'm not gonna post it, it's practically a self dox.
>What's she cook that you really enjoy?
Everything really. Excellent soups, stews, sandwiches, burgers, regional specialties (chourico and peppers), she even makes Korean food on par with restaurants (she became a Koreaboo during covid)

My mom has been dead for almost 3 years now. I miss her and her cooking immensely.

>>21657379 (OP)
My mom has a little book with all her recipes in it that she writes down. It will be my most treasured item when she passes.

>>21657379 (OP)
No, my mother still lives and I go eat at her place every 2 weekends so I can still enjoy her cooking.
Now my grandmother cooking is another story, she was a real piece of work, we have this theory on the family she had some kind of undiagnosed mental illness and it made her a hateful, miserable old crone but damn she could cook, I would say cooking was her only redeeming quality and even people who outright hated her to the core admit she was blessed with the skills of a profesional chef, boy do I miss her stews and everything else she crafted... had to take all her recipes to the grave too not willing to share them...

>>21657379 (OP)
My mom couldn't cook for shit so no, I don't miss it.

>>21657379 (OP)
Father did the cooking, no I don't miss him, it's been 4 months and I'm already forgetting him

My boomer mother is so against cooking for someone that she only orders take out the rare occasion we eat together. I don't know where this came from as I don't remember complaining about the quality.
Which is why I can cook, so can't complain.

>>21665430
Sucks fren, I’m sure it made her feel good to see you enjoy it.

>>21657399
what's wrong with spaghetti

mamma mia

My mom is a pretty capable cook when she needs to be but by her own admission she doesn't like cooking so for everyday dinners she would always go for the easiest, quickest, corner-cuttingest methods she could find and the result was nearly always bad. Even something as simple as getting canned vegetables and microwaving them over boiling or whatever. Ate a lot of instant slop growing up.

>>21657379 (OP)
No, not really. Since seeing this thread earlier this morning I've been trying to think of anything positive to say about her and can't.

>>21657379 (OP)
No. She couldn't cook worth shit. Everything was prepackaged garbage like Hamburger Helper or Campbell's soup (with water added). How hard is it to make mashed potatoes? Too hard apparently, since she got the instant ones that are a powder you just dump into water and they become mashed potatoes in five seconds.

>>21657379 (OP)
Nah. Growing up, I thought the only food that was good was McDonalds. My mother could cook but she could not cook well. I didn't learn that home cooked meals could be delicious until having dinner at friends' houses. The only exception to this was thanksgiving dinner. That she killed it on every year. Then after I taught myself to cook, that was the real game changer.

>>21657428
>because that was how her mom made it
That's reason enough to leave the sticks in the stuffing. Keep the tradition and memories alive. You're literally killing her childhood by asking her to remove the sticks.

>>21657991
>Chicken spaghetti: boil the hell out of chicken in unseasoned/unsalted water, discard water, shred chicken. Mix boiled chicken shreds, cream of mushroom soup, a can of rotel and put into a baking dish, top with shredded cheddar cheese, bake.

I always wonder how people make this and are perfectly content with doing so. It's 1% more effort to at least season the chicken for a 100% improvement, yet they don't.

>>21664026
What does Pepe have to do with that?

>>21669187
I have no idea. My mom learned this from her mom. I was gonna say that they were just clueless when it comes to cooking because they were both pretty bad in the kitchen, but then I remembered that they both watched Food Network all of the time. So I feel like they should have known better, especially since the shows I remember watching with them as a kid actually taught recipes and how to cook and weren't just cooking themed game shows.

>>21663906
This one actually looks really good. I love cheesy rotini.

>>21668969
>Growing up, I thought the only food that was good was McDonalds. My mother could cook but she could not cook well. I didn't learn that home cooked meals could be delicious until having dinner at friends' houses.
I was the same way. Her food wasn't very good so when I was with my dad we always went for fast food every day after school, leading me to getting up to 220 pounds in high school. All that could've been avoided if my mother had just learned to cook and not blamed her inability to on her mother.

>>21660865
I lost mine almost 3 months ago, the 6 of this month was my birthday and this past sunday was mothers day... same, I just miss my mom. She always cooked for us, some times my dad but I miss her and not the things she did, yeah the food was excelent also because it was made with love. The only woman that ever loved me with all my faults. I cried like a bitch in the funeral, everyday after during a month and a few weeks ago, when we eat the last meal she prepared for us that was in the fridge, there are still some figs jams. It still hurt me that month before going, she prepared a tangerine jam, just one, she never did one of those, so it was a test. I couldn't tell her it was delicious. [spoiler]I'm cring like a bith again now.[/spoiler]

I'm an average American millennial. My mom didn't make anything more complex than shake and bakes.

>>21669648
Literally why are American boomers so bad at cooking? Is it just because they grew up in the 50s with the advent of the TV dinner and just got lazy?

>>21669654
Not sure. My mom was a stay at home mother as well so I'm not really sure what she was doing all day. My parents divorced when I was 13 and I ended up living with my grandparents after the divorce so I don't remember much about what my mom cooked. Thinking back I think these were the main staples -
>Breakfast - cereal or poptarts majority of the time. Occasionally cinnamon toast
>Snacks - Vegetable trays with ranch, Little Debbie snacks, lots of oreos
>Lunch - cold cut sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly, quesadillas
>Dinner - Shake and bakes. Microwave Kidz Mealz. More raw vegetables with ranch. Steak/lobster when my dad felt like it.
The only dish I remember my mom making fully from scratch was creamy mushroom chicken asparagus with rice. That was really good I liked that.
When I went to live with my grandparents (mom's parents), grandma obviously knew how to cook but she was so old she could not be fucked to do it every day any more and just heated frozen stir fry/pasta bag meals most of the time.

A bit. I can cook just fine myself, but her gumbo was always fantastic. My stepdad doesn't much care for okra, so she never makes it anymore and my fiance doesn't like seafood, so even if I wanted to replicate it, I'd be the only one eating it. She can make some really good scones and lemon curds, though she can't quite get her clotted cream right. Even after they divorced, my dad would ask for her oyster dressing. I'm better with sauces and meats in general.

The ultimate "I don't give a rat's ass about my children" starter pack

I miss both my parents' cooking. They both really like Indian cuisine and make their own naan bread to boot. My dad loves making roasts and also baking elaborate cakes and my mom likes making all kinds of ethnic food. They're the kind of people who might visit a restaurant once to try something new but learn how to make what they tried themselves.
I only see them once a year these days though. I live 5000 miles away and they don't really come out to visit me.

>boiled chicken, boiled pork, boiled beef
>broiled chicken, broiled pork, broiled beef
>blow torched squirrel
>mystery greens soup
>rice that always tasted like dirty socks
>only spice and seasoning is Thai chili peppers and salt
No. My mother still thinks she's living in a refugee camp in Thailand and her cooking reflects that.
I'll give her credit that nothing goes to waste, but boiling cow stomach all day just to make it edible isn't worth the smell in the house that lingers on for weeks, yet she get's extremely pissy about the smell of bacon when I cook for myself.

I accidentally gave my Mother COVID when I was 18 and she died alone on a ventilator ten days later because she was obese.

I very much miss her cooking.

No, I cook better than her.

I thought this thread was going to be miserable but jfc you cunts are depressing as fuck.

I am glad your mothers didn't cook for you and if they did and it was shit it was cause you are literally an unlovable cunt that didn't deserve any better.

>>21657379 (OP)
Not really, outside of a few selected meals her cooking were awful.

>>21671358
You can't know for sure it was you that gave it to her. You can spin some airtight alibi for her where only you entered her hermetically sealed plastic bubble but you'll probably be bullshitting or just wrong.

>>21657379 (OP)
Of course I do.

>>21657379 (OP)
Nope
Only grandma

>take a whole walmart chicken
>put it in a pot deep enough for the entire chicken
>fill entire pot with barbecue sauce until chicken is submerged
>put in the oven until chicken reaches minimum 165 degrees
>remove chicken, shred, put on plate
>yell at child for for not wanting dinner
I just grew up thinking all chicken was inherently flavorless. I don't even miss HER, let alone her "cooking". There was a lot more wrong with her but that batshit retarded+entitled combo is definitely a symptom of it.

>>21657379 (OP)
No
Grandma, however

>>21664097
I'm hoping my mom dies too. Though I ran away from home about ten years ago, so I'm not sure if/how I would even get the news even if she did finally die. I bet it feels very safe and freeing to know she's dead.
>>21667351
>it's been 4 months and I'm already forgetting him
As time goes on the feeling gets even better, like you can finally stand up straight after the weight has been lifted. Congrats Anon

>>21659285
>he was raised by a lazy welfare whore who fed him poison growing up
>he's the problem
Your own statements contradict eachother, why would he bother responding otherwise when what you said is plenty retarded on its own.

>>21659594
Give us a recipe then.

>>21672334
Yeah, he is the problem now that he's an adult and hasn't moved past it. You can't control the shitty things that happened when you were young but after a certain point you need to deal with your issues. That much is obvious to anyone who isn't coasting on excuses like you.

>>21663558
big oof

>>21671653
>it was cause you are literally an unlovable cunt that didn't deserve any better.
Very very strange to victim blame what were helpless children with no control over their lives. What's wrong Anon, did your dear mother forget to bring you ketchup for the chicken nuggets she left at your bedroom door?

>>21672564
They're not helpless children anymore. You're just enabling their social deficiencies at this point.

>>21657399
you grew up eating goop and slop you mom made LMAO no wonder you sound so angry and bitter. just because your mother was poor and incompetent doesn't mean everyone else lived like that

She's coming home tomorrow so no.

>>21657379 (OP)
no. my mother is shit at cooking. a stable of hers would be ham and potatoes, nothing else, no sauce, no greens etc.

>>21673070
Also my dad does all the non-pastry cooking so it's kind of a moot point.

>>21657379 (OP)
I'm actually so fucking jealous of people who grew up with good homecooked meals it isn't even funny

>>21673171
He makes some good roast chicken, too.

It wasn't even very good, but yes, I miss her cooking, and I miss her. I'll make some of her hard times meals when I'm feeling shitty about life.

>>21657379 (OP)
nah. she was a terrible cook

>>21657379 (OP)
shes pretty bad at it. my dad rarely cooks for me but hes much more skilled since his mother is an incredible cook

>visited grandma, who had been getting on with age, several states over
>super excited to see us
>despite her pains makes us breakfast
>was dry and lacked flavor, but not inedible
>afterwards she apologized, hugged me close and said she loved me
>last meal she ever cooked for me before she died
>think of her whenever I make the dish nowadays
>every now and again deliberately make a small portion wrong in her memory

>>21669198
It's his reaction to the post.

>>21671653
your dad left you

>>21676504
Jesus christ
damn...

My mother's cooking is pretty good when I go to see her. To be fair, I'm 33 and she's 48 (going on 49), so its not like our ages are *that* far apart. We game online sometimes too for stuff.

>>21665430
Sorry, anon. I do believe in some form of an afterlife so I dearly hope you will reunite safely and happily (many, many years in the future).

>>21676725
>I do believe in some form of an afterlife
no such thing

My cooking is better, but I like it better than my brother's cooking, my brother takes my mother's recipes and removes ingredients (certain vegetables) or grills stuff on a Blackstone using fats that have a low smoke point and makes a heap of fried rice (using fresh rice) with bacon and burnt bits (butter/olive oil at high temp)

>>21677205
So you think nothingness can exist?
Could you describe your concept of "Nothing" to me? What would that be like?

>>21677256
Not him but I'll find out when it happens if I'm capable of processing that information. Probably not if there's no afterlife though, and I've seen no convincing evidence to support that notion so I have no reason to believe it exists. It would be very comforting if there was one, but something being comforting to think about isn't a substitute for convincing evidence.

>>21677294
So...you think the concept of nothingness can exist? Void of any color or shade, taste or smell, void of pressure, of gravity, of atmosphere, of time and all laws of physics or other relatives?
You think that, in some way, that actually exists inside of our infinitely ever-expanding universe?

lot of oedipus mom simps in here.
