I had to look twice to make sure I wasn’t on 4chan.
The reason, “Based.”

#292I have never in my life seen a good recipe for complete noobs. There's always something missing.

On this subject, can an American please tell me what a spoonful is? There is a great video series on youtube, with his recipes online, but all measurements are spoonful: https://www.ethanchlebowski.com/cooking-techniques-recipes/p... Spoons can vary in size, so is it a tablespoon or a teaspoon? When dealing with spices you'll be adding 3 times the amount if you go with tablespoon interpretation so it'd be a pretty bi…
I assume that essentially means "to taste," you have the correct ratios, mix all the spices and add spice mixture slowly until dish tastes good. Do people normally measure spices? I never do. Ever. I assume the cook's lack of exact measuring (eyeballing) is why it says "spoonful", rather than "teaspoon."
>Do people normally measure spices?
If I'm working from a recipe, yes? I don't sweat extreme precision, but I do use measuring spoons. Especially in something like a cookbook, I assume the author has put some thought into the measurements.

#294The owner of this website is a reactionary with a relatively popular YouTube channel in which he openly espouses and trades in racist talking points[1]. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2eYFnH61tmytImy1mTYvhA
I'm not sure what political positions have to do with cooking. Then again, I'm not a subscriber to this whole new-age identity politics wokeness mess.
Well surely the author is the one pushing identity politics into his videos about technology, complete with an obsession about "modernist degenerate marxist egalitarian values" (I'm paraphrasing)
Re: Based Cooking
#295I don't care much for the author, which is pretty much an alt-right version of the unabomber, but it's true how bloated most websites are.
Yes, let’s throw out all art, scientific advancements, technologies, inventions, books, anything with an author that we find problematic.
Re: Based Cooking
#296Feels like transported into 90s. Just honest content.
I wonder how lack of ads and SEO influences positioning in search.
I wonder why exactly that kind of content is vanishing from Internet:
1. Geeks stopped being interested into publishing honest content (I don't find it likely).
2. Geeks gave up on publishing honest content.
3. Honest content is still there but is just diluted by for profit sites.
4. Honest content is being punished in search results by not being nice to advertisers.
5. Honest content is being outgamed by sites that make it their main mission to game the system.

I scanned his video titles and nothing racist jumped out- could you link to a particular example?
His blog is pretty crazy https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/vegan
> Long story short, a bugman is someone who rejects the purpose and role of humans in their natural environment. They reject tradition, religion, their family, gender roles.
Ah, I can smell the rank mold from here.
> you're given for your acceptance some inane religious platitudes like "equality" and "rights" along with vaguely Marxist notions of "exploitation" and "slavery" and "oppressed classes,"
Plus the usual inane stuff about vegans being fundamentalist skinny soybois who will die at 40 and become impotent from their diet. Oh, and also global warming is a myth. Lovely stuff.
Re: Based Cooking
#298Am I the only one who thinks that this concept is perfectly good, and all the things the site doesn't have are just great further development of the idea? What's wrong with a "wikipedia for recipes"? I would LOVE that. All the complaints about the quality of the recipes or the lack of more in-depth explaination of each one, some kind of voting/reputation system for the recipes and for the submitters and the voters, Y…
>What's wrong with a "wikipedia for recipes"? Can you imagine the state of the site after 2 power users have a holy war over whether the recipe is meant to have salt in it or not. Cooking is not objective so it would be impossible to properly collaborate or decide if an edit made the recipe better or worse.
It would be like every recipe site with a comments section. "Good start but I deleted $X, added $Y and $Z, and added more $A" except that each of those comments would be reflected in changes to the recipe.

#299Earlier quoted context omitted.
The word "based" in slang has come to mean "not caring what others think", usually applied to being outrageous, controversial, or in some cases just outright offensive. So based cooking would be "I cook what I want". I offer up, as an example, "sketti": https://www.bakespace.com/recipes/detail/Honey-Boo-Boo-Skett... as "based" cooking.
Based just means cool. Honey Boo Boo is not based.
Yep
Re: Based Cooking
#300You know why all these sites have pages of effluvia accompanying their recipes? Because lists of ingredients and steps are not copyrightable. A book of recipes, however, is copyrightable. On the web, to make the content copyrightable, they have to add stuff. "A mere listing of ingredients is not protected under copyright law. However, where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the…
> A mere listing of ingredients is not protected under copyright law. However, where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions Very few recipes are just a minimal list of ingredients and steps though? I don't think this means you have to add your life story above it, just add enough explanation about the steps and it will be copyrightable. The re…
There are plenty of recipe sites out there that are mostly just ingredients/instructions like allrecipes.com, Epicurious, etc. If people are allergic to sites that try to provide more of a story or context around a given recipe, they should just avoid those sites and stick to the more "just the facts" ones. There's no shortage of those.
