Because literally every time we've encountered cake it's a painful and disgusting experience.
It's more like you've been given something that's been called cake, but is actually not cake. Whoever baked it realized that the recipe for cake could never work, so they changed it into something that would, and told you that was "real" cake.
- jameshart 5y agoYes, I believe you have been subjected to that abuse. But... the point of my metaphor is: cake does exist. It's real. You can make your own! The recipes are available! They do work! The fact that people have convinced you that cake doesn't exist is a reflection on them, not on me. You are trying to convince me - a person who is eating a cake right now - that cake is a lie. And for some reason you seem really angry with me about it.
- g051051 5y agoAngry? That's an odd assessment. I'm angry at the people that make and sell LieCake, and how they've deluded you into thinking that cake is a sweet, tasty treat. The key point for you to take away, is that it's remarkably hard to make an edible cake. It should be clear that you're in the minority (in this thread) of having received something edible when many others have been given burnt tires and glass.
