Yeah tiktok is the absolute definition of depressive hedonia. Plenty easy to wake up in the morning, say you'll have fifteen mins scrolling, and the next thing you know it's 2pm.

One thing I've realised recently is that I should be using pomodoros for things I like doing as well as things I don't. Very useful to have a check in with myself every now and then and ask whether I still actually want to be doing this still.

Tiktok would be very bad for me and I won't risk it

When was the last time you saw a biscuit that was actually cooked twice, as the Romans intended

Tweren't like this back in my day :reject:

A while back I had my family over to watch a film and bought some nice fancy toffee shortbread biscuits for us to enjoy while watching it. About three quarters of the pack got eaten but the rest were accidentally left out and went stale.

I was about to throw them out when I realised, biscuits go stale because they're drier than the ambient air and absorb that moisture, which is what makes them go soft.

So instead of throwing them out, I popped them into the oven for five or ten minutes and enjoyed some hot crunchy shortbread.

It is fortunate that fox's crunch creams come in a finite packet, because if they did not I would eat them until I died.

Perhaps chocolate biscuits counts as a category separate from regular biscuits, but imho the Fox’s Classic is absolutely peerless and cannot be improved upon.

My wife bought a box of broken biscuits the other week that were somehow 90% variations on chocolate coated whatevers, including multiple full sized chocolate biscuit bar things of some variety including a few with caramel in them.

Should have bought a lottery ticket at the same time.

I love a decent shortbread - Waitrose fingers are nice, but sadly the cheap home bargains ones are too sweet.

Is Eddie Hall alright? He seems sound enough and I like watching him pick up heavy things but I know lots of strongman/gym bro types tend to gravitate towards alt right red pill bullshit so I'm kinda waiting to hear that he's gone on some insane tirade about the soyification of the western male or whatever.

I like Eddie. I've not seen any worrying flags in his content so far.

How do you eat Jaffa Cakes?

I bite round the edge, leaving the jellied part, bite the sponge bottom off it, jelly last. Cherry flavour preferred.

Sometimes i'll just let a biscuit sort of go soggy in mouth for a bit before eating it. Popping a bourbon in your mouth (biscuit or drink) and then taking a sip of tea is the only way to make tea not taste like garbage water.

My indulgence is popping certain types of biscuits in the microwave for 10 seconds or so which turns them warm and gooey again like they're just out the oven. If that's wrong I don't want to be right.

I cannot imagine being so close minded as to eat jaffa cakes in only one preferred way. Variety is the spice of life! A true connoisseur aims to eat their jaffa in a different manner each time, do they not?

Jaffa cakes are the business but if you don’t eat at least one in the packet by putting it in your mouth and letting it dissolve until it’s just a tasty jelly circle you’re a freak

The correct way to make tea not taste like garbage water is to use rooibos instead of badwater leaves.

Speaking of biscuits, Tesco has finally restocked their Plain Chocolate Digestives after being gone for about three months. Another reason why Brexit has been terrible.

For a really cheap, normal biscuits, they really hit the spot when paired with an orange drink.
