"What is jam? What makes something authentically jam? Can bacon really be made into jam?
It was all very Existentialist.
The answer to those questions is a bit complicated and non-definitive. The U.S. FDA has defined jam and jelly in very specific and mathematical terms (such-and-such percentage of juice to fruit to water to sugar = jam/jelly); it also uses jam and preserve interchangeably, for the most part. While interesting, the FDA’s definitions did not matter much to me because the FDA wasn’t really using the terms in the way that we usually use the terms. Also, the FDA wasn’t comprehensive in its definitions. It didn’t tackle other fruit spreads like marmalades or curds, for instance.
The more I looked into, the more I thought, dude, this information would make a good infographic."

actually……1 more thing because I realised I haven’t posted this yet. the best & worst piece of art I’ve ever made - 3D shark called biscuit that I modelled for a class a few years ago. toiled on him for hours, cried over him, went on a journey with him. still failed the class. he haunts me to this day

Oh wow, do you have a recipe you could share for that apple marzipan cake? It looks perfect for my dad but I haven't been able to find a good recipe!
Sure! This is the recipe I use:
Ingredients:
250 g (all purpose) wheat flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 75 g sugar 3 eggs 225 g butter 75 g ground almonds ½ tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. vanilla ½ kg apples (4 apples) 200 g marzipan 75 g powdered sugar
Preparation: Mix 150 g wheat flour, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 75 g sugar, 1 egg yolk, 75 g ground almonds and 100 g cold butter cut into small cubes into a dough. Roll out 3/5 of the dough to cover the bottom of a greased 26 cm springform pan, form a 2 cm high rim with the remaining dough.
Mix the finely chopped marzipan with 125 g of softened butter. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, 75 g powdered sugar, 2 eggs and 1 egg white. Stir 100g flour mixed with 1 tsp baking powder into the mixture. Put in the peeled apples (cut into wedges) and fill the mixture into the springform pan, smooth it out and bake on the middle shelf at 160°C (320°F) convection oven for approx. 45-55 min.

hi! social media app here. we were just noticing, you've turned off some of the settings that would normally allow us to intrude into your life even more than we already do. obviously you didn't mean that, right? here's a handy button to turn all those settings on for you. oh, you don't want to press the button right now? that's okay, we'll ask you again every other week for the rest of your life, just in case you finally come to the realisation that you actually want notifications about nothing sent everywhere all the time.

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing
Eating while on shift is not permitted, staff are told. “If the system detects no keyboard stroke and mouse click, it will show you as idle for that particular duration, and it will be reported to your supervisor. So please avoid hampering your productivity.”
A training video about the webcam system, seen by the Guardian, says it “monitors and tracks real-time employee behaviour and detects any violations to pre-set business rules, and sends real-time alerts to managers to take corrective actions immediately”.
