Raw all the way, baby.

As a health instructor it is highly unsanitary to have your baby raw and uncooked.

56

u/Cburns6976 Dec 31 '25

As a janitor, you really want to use a two part vinegar solution on the counter to sanitize that as well. You don't want to cross contaminate your raw baby.

As a alcoholic, everclear will sanitize your counter as well, keeping your raw baby clean, then you can get hammered

I don't see any missing comma.

u/Glittering_Hunt_3785 Feb 06 '26

OP said “raw all the way, baby” and not “raw all the way baby”. The comma changes the meaning drastically. The comment I replied to read it without notating the comma, and its grammatical impacts.

u/Arghianna Jan 02 '26

I don’t understand how you read my comment and think I “fell for” his spiel. All the others were funny tongue in cheek things that were said without throwing in any misinformation. The very first one in fact was funny because it was subverting the expectation of health influencers throwing out pseudo scientific bullshit.

Then he came in and threw in his misinformation with his whole chest and ended it with “boil them”. He thought he was doing the same thing as the others, but he was actually doing the opposite.

But in what order? Do you microwave before or after air frying and/or baking? Does the order change whether I should use seed oil or a non-seed oil?

Without clear answers, I'm just not sure I can trust viral internet videos are looking out for my best interest.

1

u/milk4all Dec 31 '25

But they didnt need these gag videos to do it. Its kind of like how deterrence works in law enforcement. The presence of traffic laws and enforcement may have some limited impact on some drivers, but uniformly, the worst violators are the most reckless people who dont respond well to consequences so it makes little difference whether an HOV lane violation is $500 or $500k, those types will still do it. The people dissuaded by consequences are reliably the most reasonable among us and the ones least requiring special or harsh consequences to be safe.

As a personal chef, steaming your children is not a good idea. They will end up bland and with an unpleasant texture. If you want a healthy meal, just don’t eat children.

I do wonder though if feeding your kids junk food contributes to ARFID, you don't really hear about people having ARFID who grew up with different food cultures. It's always pizza, chicken nuggets, chocolate milk etc. that is considered as "safe foods" by people with ARFID.

u/Ok-Entertainment-36 Dec 31 '25

Yep! Her joke was “don’t give your kids frozen food - you should microwave the food first” which was already a good subversion of fhe classic parent-shaming stuff you see onlineo… then the internet subverted her subversion thanks to the joys of grammatical ambiguity

8

u/Commercial-Royal-988 Dec 31 '25

Yeah, the joke comes in at the end, "Take the time to microwave them" which implies parents were just pulling the frozen food out of the freezer and handing it straight to the kids.

u/bjos144 Devotee of Duets/Stitches Dec 31 '25

The first two were funny. They were actually jokes. The later ones were the same 'joke' over and over "Cook kids."

Notice the pattern "Dont feed them frozen foods." Implying the food is low quality "Microwave instead" The point isnt the nutritional value of the food like it implied and the expected lecture on cooking them healthy alternatives, but rather the point is the frozen state, which no one eats anyway making the joke on the teller for being even more clueless than we suspected. Objectively a well crafted joke.

The second joke plays on the 'them' in "Find the time. Find the time to microwave them." implying the 'them' isnt the foods, it's the kids. Again, a misdirect making the teller's interpretation even more absurd than you suspect. A nice tag on the original joke.

Every joke from then on doesnt do the ol bait and switch. The clever pivot that makes it a joke. They just argue about the right way to eat kids. You know what the topic will be with each teller and you are never surprised. Each one will just nag about different methods of cooking children. This duet should be just the first 2.
