I feel terrible when stuff I buy says it was made with love. Do I deserve the love of someone who never even met me? Do I deserve love at all? That's why I prefer eating food made by unfeeling machines.

[-] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 20 points 8 months ago

Don't feel bad, that's why it was made with love!

Yes, you deserve the love I put into food, regardless if it's Foie Gras, Vegan Lasagne or Tater friggin' Tots...and also regardless if I'm 100% there or just going through the motions as an unfeeling machine.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'm pretty sure Foie Gras is made with cruelty instead

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Delicious cruelty.

[-] zloubida@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Cruelty is the secret ingredient.

I used to buy Starbucks every day at university and work, I switched to making my own coffee to save money and it just didn't taste the same.

I tried every different ingredient I could think of, light roast, medium roast, dark, french, grind sizes.

At last, I gave up and said: "Fuck it, I HATE making coffee.." took a sip.. there it was, that missing flavor.

It tastes the way it does, because it's made with misery and spite!

And that's how I found out that I was actually a demon. Thanks for listening to my story.

"No, with soul-crushing depression."

[-] Jorgelino@lemmy.ml 23 points 8 months ago

Just like mama used to make

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Before “the accident.”

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 10 points 8 months ago

“You should be grateful I didn’t spit in it”

[-] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 44 points 8 months ago

It was, in fact, made with hate

[-] BirdyBoogleBop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 8 months ago

If it was made in any kind of resteraunt you either get made with hate or made with apathy. Take your pick.

[-] Zoboomafoo@slrpnk.net 6 points 8 months ago

I'll take "made with drugs"

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

omg, you guys! this comment section has me cracking up 🤣

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Some people love to hate. 💕 🤬

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 27 points 8 months ago

There was a Burger King near where I lived back in the 80's where a guy got arrested for attempted murder. He was angry that he had tested positive for HIV back when it was thought to be a death sentence. So he started jizzing in the mayo to try and take everyone with him. I think variations of this eventually turned into an urban legend.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 months ago

Yep. It was in the newspapers and it caused a huge panic.

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I think the only way to get HIV is via intercourse or getting scratched with the infected person used needle/razor.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 27 points 8 months ago

You are correct, but this is known now, not then. Back then people thought you could getting from just touching something someone with the virus had touched. Then it was thought that kissing was enough (the infamous Rock Hudson kiss in Dynasty). They were scary days. Think early on during the COVID lockdown when people started disinfecting their deliveries because we didn't know how it was transmitted.

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Ugh. Imagine the poor worker who had to clean that up...

and aren't we glad they're mostly asleep here?

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Sure, here's the "love" it was made with:

[-] key@lemmy.keychat.org 12 points 8 months ago
[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

That's ONE way to advertise your commissions business in a comic, I guess!

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

No, 5% corn syrup.

[-] TubeTalkerX@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago

It was made with love for money. So technically……yes?

[-] menemen@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

"Need" is not "love".

[-] Yax@feddit.de 4 points 8 months ago

What is she doing with the seatbelt?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I guess she pulled it out behind her head and is balancing it on her right shoulder for some reason. Seems uncomfortable.

[-] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 3 points 8 months ago

not sure why but when I looked at the lower right panel, I was like "hey dwight [schrute]!"

[-] shadearg@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

"...you guys might've wanted to stay away from our special sauce tonight. Me and Pookie, we added a secret ingredient..."

That's enough of that love.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 3 points 8 months ago

"Made with love, just for you!"

Uh, ok, thanks fellow stranger machine.

[-] menemen@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Wasn't there this one time some Taco Belle employees made the taco sauce with love?

Would you like it to be? I can do The Mommy Experience but it's $50 extra.

I once had a delivery man tell he "here's your pizza it was specially made with love for you". And we just stated at each other for a second.

It's crazy the shit they make them say. Damn, just ask them to be respectful and polite, that's all they need to do.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Or maybe they are just bored and acting like they have to say stuff like that to enjoy the awkward moment it produces.

[-] yesman@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I like to cook and sometimes people call me "chef" and I always correct them.

"Cooks prepare food for people they love, chefs prepare food for people they hate".

I also dislike the term chef, bc the professionalization of the gendered activity "cooking" makes is acceptable for a man to do, but my family isn't ready for that conversation.
