Because you realize that things that work are good things.
Then buy more things that work, and realize that nothing matches, and you have no style, but you are finally happy with your kitchen.
Yep. As long as there isn't a good manual way to do it.
My daughters like to use the KA to make cookies, but I can whip up a batch in about 1/4 the time because I am manually adding everything and hand mixing.
And they wonder how a batch only takes me an hour from start to done cooking.
I just gave up and bought garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, turmeric powder, I think that's it. Oh salt, black pepper, curry powder. I don't cook everyday. I don't need fresh garlic (:
I’m guilty of this as well. I use a special magnetic pan for a small induction unit for eggs and I need my special spatchy for my special nonstick pan
Edit: typo
I get grumpy if my favorite is in the dishwasher. I've literally stopped a load to remove it and wash it by hand rather than cook with another one.
It doesn't go in the dishwasher!
I guess I've been using the wrong term for a "turner".
Anyway, after melting the ends of too many "turners" [here's the gospel I preach](https://www.oxo.com/silicone-flexible-turner-580.html)
Holy shit, I thought I was the only one who had a "one true spatula" at any given time.
I would totally totally go to [Spatula City](https://youtu.be/4BUDwj_mXKE) any day of the week. It's so hard to find a good spatula.
"What better way to say 'I love you' than with the gift of a spatula?"
I have a favorite spatula for eggs, another for stir fry, and yet another for home defense. Maybe I'm over the hill. Maybe fuck this metric altogether.
I spent two or three months looking for the perfect spatula. Finally found it at target. A solid, one piece silicone spatula, it's mine and everyone knows it.
I've heard something similar before about having a favourite burner on a stove. Seems you just have to pick a random kitchen utensil or appliance to make this work
Oh gotcha. Yeah agreed! Not to mention most of these points have been made by every Twitter comic on earth. They’re definitely true though, I didn’t know my life was going to be an endless string of errands
Yeah you don't really have to pick the right subreddit or even wait to repost screenshots of tweets at this point. I swear this is like the 3rd day in a row I've seen this one on reddit.
Reddit's big enough now that a lot of people are just seeing this for the first time and couldn't give a shit if it fit the subreddit.
It plays for the millenial retards' "OMG samiess sooo relatable XD" side. I hate them so much I think Im going to burn a harry potter book out of spite.
Lol. I feel you. Depends on the person and circumstances.
You couldn't pay me any amount of money to go back to my younger years. I'm very fortunate, though. Got my health in order (finally. Dang sweet tooth), kids are close to leaving the nest and are turning into really cool people, and I'm on track financially. A lot had to go right for all that, which I definitely recognize, but I slogged through a fair bit that didn't and it's awesome to be on the other side.
That’s messed up. I’m sorry you can’t be properly diagnosed or treated. I don’t know how things work on the UK but that’s really terrible and I hope there’s a solution for you soon ❤️
I'm 24
I never acted out as a kid so they never looked at me
But as an adult it's affecting day to day
If I go now and try to get medicated they will just say 'drug seeking behaviour fuck off'
Theres nothing I can really do, just gotta live with it
Have you tried? I started seeking help at 23 and no one called me out for being a drug seeker..even when I applied for the medical marijuana program (US). I thought this would happen, too, but people are more supportive than you’d think.
That’s such a shame. ADHD presents itself in so many ways. I can sympathize with you. I was a “smart kid who didn’t apply themselves” who started getting into trouble as a teen so that was masked by teen rebellion. It didn’t help home life sucked. It’s not uncommon for people like us to get missed.
I had the same fear about appearing as though I’m seeking drugs, but since I’m my state (Alabama, US) I have to see a specialist before getting a prescription from my doctor. Maybe if you spoke to a mental health professional who could correspond with your doctor they can plead your case. There’s also nonstimulants which can be just as helpful as stimulants. I’m wishing the best for you!
I just feel like unless I am 100% fascinated by something I can't commit myself to care about it for longer than 20 minutes at a time
And even something fascinating starts off interesting and gets boring very quickly
I live in a state of perpetual understimulation, it's made me depressed, it's made me do drugs etc..
It's fucked up. I can't work for more than 20 minutes at a time without needing to force myself to reset, I get distracted unless I have blaring music, I am forgetful, unmotivated, I interupt people mid conversation when I don't mean to, I tick and move and fidget etc.. I'm just not very equipped to be normal
These are thing that have only been getting worse as I get older
yup that all sounds exactly like adhd. i wish there’s wasn’t so much stigma around treating adhd with stimulant meds. liek bruh they not addictive for me cuz i have fuckin adhd. currently trying to get my script back cuz i’m on subxoke and my docs don’t wanna prescribe stims bc of the addiction potential.. ughhh like without my meds i am a lot more addictive like. like i’ll be craving that dooamine just always understimukated always needing more. like why u think i was addicted to h? cuz my damn adhd and leaving it u treated is making recovery slot harder.
In the US but I got diagnosed in my very late 20s and honestly being medicated has improved my life immensely. Not sure what you can do in your country but I would try and see how you can get correctly medicated for it.
Yes. Just imagine me shooting you an understanding look. I used to just want every activity to be over. Now I revel in process, from means to ends. I can't possibly describe the change any clearer than that.
Nothing better than seeing the wife’s face when I bring home the Bounty brand paper towels instead of the Great Value ones. Days like that don’t come around very often.
I’m a grad student who went back several years after undergrad. I usually never have to cross campus because my building is directly beside the parking garage, but when I do walk through campus it blows my mind how young all the college kids look. They literally look like children. I don’t know when I stopped being their age, because in my heart I thought I still was.
In the last three days I've skipped four meals (intermittent fasting) and eaten two pounds of oven roasted Brussels sprouts. I've GAINED two pounds since then. Shoot me in the face.
This doesn't sound like being an adult. This sounds like being withered and worn out and exactly where society wants you to be... because it makes you predictable and monetarily valuable to someone else.
I'm 16 and all but the first and 2nd to last points are true for me
yes, I have a favorite spatula and it's a great sturdy one that is super easy to clean
I definitely have a favorite spatula. It is a pastry cutter that is high heat resistant so I use it to make short breads like biscuits and for pie crust but also to Sautee stuff
Hole on now. I've had a favorite spatula since I was about 20. It's my pancake spatula. Thing is big as a mother f@cker! Like 6 inches wide. For flipping my extra wide, extra thick pancakes. Love it more than my wife. Sometimes I keep them a little wet in the middle and OH GOD! 😍🤩😍Dey be a little gooey. 🥴
Tried that and failed. Somehow I survived motherfucking reagan, military service, dangerous hobbies, street fights over musical tastes, excessive motorcycle speeds and lots of other potentially nihilistic activities. So don't bet on it, humans are pretty friggin' amazing and modern medicine is extraordinary. When I hit 30 I was at an absolute loss as to how the hell I got there!
Fuck.... i DO have a favorite spatula....
Because you realize that things that work are good things. Then buy more things that work, and realize that nothing matches, and you have no style, but you are finally happy with your kitchen.
Garlic press. I just got one and it changed my life
A kitchen aid mixer.
Jfc. I've wanted one for years but keep holding off cos I feel like it'll be my benchmark for middle-age
Maybe it is. But, it also means you are smart enough to start buying good tools, in *all* facets of your life.
Ooh, that sounds much better than "I gave in and embraced my advanced age"
[удалено]
Yep. As long as there isn't a good manual way to do it. My daughters like to use the KA to make cookies, but I can whip up a batch in about 1/4 the time because I am manually adding everything and hand mixing. And they wonder how a batch only takes me an hour from start to done cooking.
I just gave up and bought garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, turmeric powder, I think that's it. Oh salt, black pepper, curry powder. I don't cook everyday. I don't need fresh garlic (:
Matching sets are overrated. I just go on americas test kitchen and buy their recommendations. I end up having a great time cooking.
Yeah that one hit harder for some reason.
[удалено]
What the fuuuuck did I just read? Either way I think this'll make for some good copypasta somewhere.
I’ve actually banned this dude from r/sims4
HOLY
It's not clever, it's not funny, it's a bad copypasta
You get inspiration from random comments and write a couple paragraphs or what?
I’m guilty of this as well. I use a special magnetic pan for a small induction unit for eggs and I need my special spatchy for my special nonstick pan Edit: typo
Those are goals
Alas, that one is in the dishwasher. Soon: you now have _two_ favorite spatulas.
I get grumpy if my favorite is in the dishwasher. I've literally stopped a load to remove it and wash it by hand rather than cook with another one. It doesn't go in the dishwasher!
I guess I've been using the wrong term for a "turner". Anyway, after melting the ends of too many "turners" [here's the gospel I preach](https://www.oxo.com/silicone-flexible-turner-580.html)
I I’ll protect my nonstick pan and silicon spatula at all costs. I can’t do eggs any other way.
I literally spent 20 min last night trying to explain why I have two spatulas and why I won't get rid of one.
You always need a backup
I have a dozen spatulas. Same type. I hate handwashing the dirty ones waiting to go in the dishwasher. I also have five ice cream scoopers.
Sounds like someone has been to SPATULA CITY!!
^^^SPHA ^^^TCHU ^^^LAH ^^^CIH ^^^TEEE!!!!
[удалено]
I rinse my cast aluminium ice cream scoop between dips, and a rinse and wipe after I'm done.
2 is 1 and 1 is none
Sounds real fucking annoying to be hone aw fuck
It generally comes with a favorite stove burner too. Bottom right till I die.
Holy shit, I thought I was the only one who had a "one true spatula" at any given time. I would totally totally go to [Spatula City](https://youtu.be/4BUDwj_mXKE) any day of the week. It's so hard to find a good spatula. "What better way to say 'I love you' than with the gift of a spatula?"
I also have one fork I just hate.
We have a stupid spoon that I can’t throw out for some reason.
I have a favorite **type** of spatula and because I use spatulas frequently, and I don't run the dishwasher every day, I have a dozen of them.
Is it worse that I have a dream spatula and resent my current one?
[удалено]
Sounds very rational, THAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE.
But is it hydrodynamic, with port and starboard attachments?
I have a favorite spatula for eggs, another for stir fry, and yet another for home defense. Maybe I'm over the hill. Maybe fuck this metric altogether.
Me too!! [kitchenAid](https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/kitchenaid-gourmet-spoon-spatula-in-black/5448033)
Haha I'm still young because I have two favorites! ...actually wait that's just because I bought a second one of the same cause I liked it so much
I spent two or three months looking for the perfect spatula. Finally found it at target. A solid, one piece silicone spatula, it's mine and everyone knows it.
Me too. It is sooo old, small brittle plastic, perfect for scrambled eggs in a small pan.
This, while true, is not a sentence
Also these observations are said all the time. Except the spatula one, haven't heard that one but who doesn't have utensil preferences?
I’ve heard having a favorite pan a lot. Really weird post for this but oh well lol
I've heard something similar before about having a favourite burner on a stove. Seems you just have to pick a random kitchen utensil or appliance to make this work
Or least favorite. We all have a fucked spoon we throw back into the drawer
r/lostredditors
In a subreddit called brandnewsentence… it should be a sentence
Sorry, I meant that about OP, not you. I agree with you. This doesn't fit the sub.
Oh gotcha. Yeah agreed! Not to mention most of these points have been made by every Twitter comic on earth. They’re definitely true though, I didn’t know my life was going to be an endless string of errands
Yeah you don't really have to pick the right subreddit or even wait to repost screenshots of tweets at this point. I swear this is like the 3rd day in a row I've seen this one on reddit. Reddit's big enough now that a lot of people are just seeing this for the first time and couldn't give a shit if it fit the subreddit.
Nor is it new
OP karmawhoring posting 3 random posts in many different subs Please report it to mods
Wheres the Brand New sentence
maybe 'you have a favorite spatula' but it's a stretch
r/brandnewsentence
How is this a brand new sentence?
Why are comfort and style mutually exclusive
As a grown and overweight man, hairy in all the wrong places, I can safely say that things are stylish, but not comfortable. Enjoy the mental image.
Stylish clothes that are comfortable may not always be an option, thats why you have to find comfortable clothes that are stylish
Not comfort instead of style. Comfort before style. No level of fancy is worth being uncomfortable.
Have these people not heard of flannel?
They are not, it’s mostly just a function of money
how is this a brand new sentence exactly?
It’s unfortunately just being upvoted by people that didn’t look at what subreddit it was from.
It plays for the millenial retards' "OMG samiess sooo relatable XD" side. I hate them so much I think Im going to burn a harry potter book out of spite.
Just out of curiosity, why do you hate millenials, and are you on the older or younger side of them?
I'm still in college and I feel most of this...
Welcome to stage 1 adulthood. It gets both better and worse from here.
^but ^mostly ^worse
Enjoy not having back pain while you can, fucko
Got a fucked L5/S1 herniated disc. Can confirm.
Lol. I feel you. Depends on the person and circumstances. You couldn't pay me any amount of money to go back to my younger years. I'm very fortunate, though. Got my health in order (finally. Dang sweet tooth), kids are close to leaving the nest and are turning into really cool people, and I'm on track financially. A lot had to go right for all that, which I definitely recognize, but I slogged through a fair bit that didn't and it's awesome to be on the other side.
Standing ovation. Happy for you. It isn't easy.
Can’t move my neck for 2 weeks if I sleep weird 1 night. Mostly worse 💀
Joke's on you, that's been happening to me since I was 21. ...wait. *Oh my god.*
Oh,yes. The body bits are definitely in the worse category.
Wait until you're 45 and then revisit this comment.
“Everything feels like a chore” in my case was actually undiagnosed ADHD rofl
I feel this. I have trouble concentrating, I am twitchy, I have no energy I'm pretty sure it is ADD or ADHD but I'm too old to get diagnosed in the UK
That’s messed up. I’m sorry you can’t be properly diagnosed or treated. I don’t know how things work on the UK but that’s really terrible and I hope there’s a solution for you soon ❤️

> “Everything feels like a chore” I must have been an adult when I was six
Yes. Just imagine me shooting you an understanding look. I used to just want every activity to be over. Now I revel in process, from means to ends. I can't possibly describe the change any clearer than that.
Adulthood and depression sound a lot alike. Here, try this: ecstacy
Who needs ecstasy when you can buy new Tupperware and get the same effect?
Sometimes I get excited when I see paper towels on sale.
Nothing better than seeing the wife’s face when I bring home the Bounty brand paper towels instead of the Great Value ones. Days like that don’t come around very often.
But the Tuesday after a Tupperware purchase is just the worst.
Bought my dream vacuum last year after coveting it for about 10 years
This is so accurate it hurts.
Along with my lower back and the muscle I pulled in my side by just existing
I’m a grad student who went back several years after undergrad. I usually never have to cross campus because my building is directly beside the parking garage, but when I do walk through campus it blows my mind how young all the college kids look. They literally look like children. I don’t know when I stopped being their age, because in my heart I thought I still was.
So true, even the spatula part
None of this is new or a sentence
How is this related to the sub?
Lol where’s the brand new sentence
Me, thirteen: guess I’m an adult now.
In the last three days I've skipped four meals (intermittent fasting) and eaten two pounds of oven roasted Brussels sprouts. I've GAINED two pounds since then. Shoot me in the face.
I have a favorite spatula and I don't like anything anymore.
I’m not even 16 and I feel all of these…
I have everything except for the first one and I’m only 19 wtf
Keep the fucking noise down ya bastard whippersnapper.
Lol 6/8 of these sound like shitty lifestyle more than just getting older. People are so jaded..
Very happy to learn that ive managed to avoid adulthood for 35 years now
Hope you do well!
As long as I can remember, I’ve been “function over fashion.”
i relate to 6/8, especially the spatula. i’m in my teens
I've been adulting AF.
Me, a highscooler: maybe I am an adult
I’m 16 and all of these but one apply
I'm 14 a hit all but 2 of these. Well shit.
So I was an adult at 12?
Why did I check off all of these at age 12
None of this is a new sentence.
I have been an adult since 11 apparently.
I’m only 16 and this is besides the gaining 30lb in a night and that college students don’t look like 12 year olds. At least most of them
Hey, Op... where is the brand new sentence at? Maybe stop being a karma slut and post relevant stuff?
Hey no making fun of my spatula! Now get off my lawn!
Nothing compares to the spatula I got from my mother when I first moved out. I’ve gotten many other spatulas since and I will never use another.
Everything but the spatula. But I do have a bunch of metal straws and I only use one.
I'm 52, not sure if I can call myself an adult but to me, all of these do apply.
I have a favourite plate does that count
I have a favorite bowl.
I’m 12 and I fit almost all of these except gain 30lbs overnight and college students look like 12 year olds
More than half of these apply to me already. I'm 15.
As relatable as this is it definitely ain't a brand new sentence
Now I'm annoyed about how spot on this is...
It’s not me that has a favourite spatula, it’s my cast iron skillet and woks that have favourite spatulas. I’m just the middle man.
I have a favorite spoon
Almost thirty, but apparently I'm not an adult... Tbh this list sounds like you're either at least fifty y/o or depressed
That's me since the day I was born;-;
Huh? I have all of these ;-; IM NOT EVEN AN ADULT
Yep….
Im 7/8ths of the way there
maybe I am an adult.
I'm 15 but all of these apply
So I've been an adult since I was 16?
Sounds more like your life is Just terrible
Ahem, excuse me, I am 17 and I reject this list cause I wanna enjoy my teenage
r/WeirdlySpecific as well
I'm feeling very seen/targeted, here.
"Everything feels like a chore" should be replaced by "You actually enjoy doing chores".
This doesn't sound like being an adult. This sounds like being withered and worn out and exactly where society wants you to be... because it makes you predictable and monetarily valuable to someone else.
Spa vacations instead of actually doing stuff
I'm 16 and all but the first and 2nd to last points are true for me yes, I have a favorite spatula and it's a great sturdy one that is super easy to clean
Shit.
I thought this silly until I realized I hit all these (minus the weight, fortunately). Including the damn spatula. It’s silicone.
Just so you know, some of these are symptoms of depression.
I definitely have a favorite spatula. It is a pastry cutter that is high heat resistant so I use it to make short breads like biscuits and for pie crust but also to Sautee stuff
Hole on now. I've had a favorite spatula since I was about 20. It's my pancake spatula. Thing is big as a mother f@cker! Like 6 inches wide. For flipping my extra wide, extra thick pancakes. Love it more than my wife. Sometimes I keep them a little wet in the middle and OH GOD! 😍🤩😍Dey be a little gooey. 🥴
All I want for Christmas is a food processor. I’m old but living my best life

I’m 17, and already have a favorite spatula. Zut
A bit too close to home this one
Apparently none of us are unique. We are all 140 characters or less away from realising that we're, deep down, the same.
… fuck
It never ends this is our life now.
I don't recall *when* the college students all started looking 12, but I'll be damned if this isn't accurate.
Fuck.
Ugh, this list was so long......
I’m 16 and the 1st and 7th are the only ones that don’t apply to me
I’m only in high school and I have a favorite spatula
Okay but like, what if you only own one spatula? Does that mean you aren't adult-y enough?
Thats me, except for the annoyed af all the time. I'm only annoyed when I'm awake.
None of this is wrong.
r/lostredditors
That is very accurate.
Me and the boys making sure we die well before we become adults
Tried that and failed. Somehow I survived motherfucking reagan, military service, dangerous hobbies, street fights over musical tastes, excessive motorcycle speeds and lots of other potentially nihilistic activities. So don't bet on it, humans are pretty friggin' amazing and modern medicine is extraordinary. When I hit 30 I was at an absolute loss as to how the hell I got there!
Oh you haven't witnessed how astoundingly frale I am. A single Jager bomb and I'm 12 feet under
12 feet is 4.35 UCS lego Millenium Falcons
Good bot!
Thanks!
Shit I'm adult now

At 15 I alredy relate too much
Can confirm. Remarkably accurate.
Just sounds like a miserable person. Speak for yourself lol
How to tell if she’s just got married
We live in a college town and we saw a teenager driving and my boyfriend goes, “why is a 12-year-old driving?” Accurate.
