Do I look like I know what a jpeg is to you?
It sounds hot, though
I don't understand.
The words "too", "much" and "butter" don't make any sense in that order.
Its all to taste, I always do a ton of butter when I make cookies to make them extra gooey
we're best friends now btw
Here have some homemade Oreos I made
So uh, when you boarding with me? Rent is 50 homemade Oreos per month, 55 and I'll include my German shepherd and kitty Kat snuggles.
Edit: my pup is hiding bc she dislikes thunder
That's a good kitty, that deserves a bonus picture, have some spaghetti cake!
Woah.
Stop eating my spaghetti cake.
Ooo, that looks fun
i would cherish every nibble.
pls
Try this simple cookie recipe
Ngl the butter ones look like the best cookie I've ever eaten.
I was thinking the same thing, I always drop the flour by a bit to get that effect. The only way to make chocolate chip cookies imo
On the plus side, the uranium-235 cookies will probably stay warm a lot longer than the others.
but uranium has 20 billion calories per gram
Hmm... better just have one, then.
+/- 3,000 years
And it will sustain you for the rest of your life.
Uranium doesn't usually glow in the dark? If you can see a blue glow, you need to get the heck out of there, or submerge it in a lot of water.
Water? We've got plenty of that. And it's heavy, so that should mean it's extra safe.
This is missing a "just right" image for reference, and so everyone can criticize the author's cookie preferences.
There's no such thing as too much butter.
They all look fine and tasty though? Except the egg one.
I'll take the egg one, gonna leave the uranium one to you though
Was about to say the butter and egg one look great but that might just be cause I really like eggs and have had ones that looked like the too much egg and it was delicious.
Hear me out, the egg one but balanced with more brown sugar than white. It’s very similar to the Tate’s brand chocolate chip cookies.
Fun uranium facts: during WWII, one method that the Manhattan Project used to refine uranium (i.e. separate U235 from natural uranium which is mostly non-fissile U238) relied on magnetism. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to the direction of motion, which makes it follow a slightly curved path instead of a straight line. This force is the same for both U235 and U238 but since U235 weighs slightly less, its path is slightly more curved. By charging particles of natural uranium and shooting them through a powerful magnetic field, separate collectors can be set up to gather the U235 particles.
Creating the magnetic field required powerful electromagnets. Normally these would have used copper wire but copper was a valuable strategic metal needed for much of the other military hardware the US was producing, so the Manhattan Project "checked out" the United States' reserves of silver to build the magnets. For good measure, the electricity for the magnets came mostly from the hydroelectric dams built as part of the Tennessee Valley Authority projects of the 1930s (this is mainly why the Manhattan Project's uranium processing facilities were located in Oak Ridge). These dams were originally meant to power the production of aluminum, but the US had plenty of other sources for that.
Cookie is cookie.
I'd eat all and any of them and not notice anything wrong with them. Except the green one maybe
Omw to add too much butter and sugar and a little cornstarch to recreate the levain style cookie
In the middle there?
They all look pretty great!
Yep. Cool chart
Where's the example with too much yellow cake?
Always hate when that happens
Eat your greens, kids!
Yeah but you get a healthy green glow with uranium bumped up
