Possibly the cruelest irony of adulthood is that autonomy comes with a shit load of terms and conditions.
For instance, I could eat cookies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day if I wanted to. But it would result in diabetes, obesity, and eventually death. So yes, theoretically I could do it. But not if I want to live for very long.
Damn shame too because I have a weakness for chocolate chip cookies.
With great power and all that
It’s brutal, isn’t it?
When you realize that your parents also wanted to eat cookies and Ruffles all the time too, but they didn’t want to die early and are just making you eat healthy so you don’t die early.
Ugh…
Diabetes and obesity in the long term, heartburn and indigestion in the short term.
I always wanted to grow up so I could eat ice cream whenever I wanted. Welp, grew up, now my tumtum hurts after one scoop. Life’s cruel irony.
Even if it didn’t, you would get fat because of it, or maybe get diabetes
Wait till you have the epiphany that you can just bake your own cookies and that it’s not that much of a hassle at all. 🍪👨🍳
Many moons ago, I worked as a realtor, and one of the “tricks” of the trade was to bake cookies before an open house. It makes the house smell great, and you get to give out snacks. It really shattered my internal concept of baking cookies, because I could buy pre-cut cookie dough and a cookie sheet on my way to a house and make delicious, warm cookies in 20 minutes while wearing a suit. No apron, no cleanup, just an increasingly tight pair of suit pants.
Yep. Though the rolls of cookie dough are too tempting to just…eat lol. I buy the cookie mix which is a bit cheaper and doesn’t need refrigerated; a bit messier to prepare though.
Strong agreement on the dough being too tempting as it is. I tried to convince my wife that opened packages of cookie dough will sublimate in the fridge, but she didn’t believe me. And the mixes are great for keeping a variety of cookie flavors in the cupboard, without keeping actual cookies in the house.
Saving this as a career plan “B”
Yep!
What really grinds my gears is I could have done it when I was young and not suffered any physical consequences. If I do it now I get fat er
Not if you’re trying to care about your health! Dieting is haaaard.
‘Whenever I want’ doesn’t mean every day.
It does if you want cookies every day.
Yes but mom gets replaced with guilt and adult responsibility.
And you can’t hide from them as easily.
Also, fried bacon!
Idk. Personally I’ve always loved being an adult. The bullshit comes from the world not from me
I love how easy it is to just make cookies yourself too.
I never wanna eat cookies anymore tho 😩
Yeah, that way lies diabetes. For some of us.
The other day, I had ginger cookies smothered in mascarpone for dinner.
That sounds like heaven
Thanks for reminding me to eat some cookies with the coffee I just made so I could eat some cookies.
