This is possibly probably the worst recipe I've ever found on the internet

 

Here's the contributor's self-description.

I am a psychology student who loves to cook and create new, cheap and fancy recipes for every tired college student who wants to try something new.

 

As a psychologist, I'm embarrassed for my profession. S/he's still a student, though, so there's hope s/he'll find a new major soon.

I nominate Alex's post as perfect!

Yesterday (Saturday), The Guardian ran a story under this this headline.

Wild chimpanzees filmed by scientists bonding over alcoholic fruit

 

Good for the scientists. I hope they enjoyed their bonding over alcohol. I like a bit of alcoholic fruit. Preferably grapes.

 

But what were the chimpanzees doing?

I'm not sure if this qualifies as crappy food writing or just plain crappy food but a while back emails from Allrecipes started showing up in my mail. Being naturally curious I started reading and I decided to keep it. I'm also easily amused and it provides my laugh of the day. And a couple times a year there might be something that is actually worth making.

Last week they sent this one. 100 of the Easiest Meals That We've Ever Made.

I've chosen the three that I think are the worst. The first two could be mastered in 10 minutes by a hungry 8-year-old. Basic Air Fryer Hot Dogs and Grilled Cheese Sandwich, and the third would only be attempted by a starving college student. Cheesy Ramen Noodles.

Then a couple days later there appeared in my inbox a chocolate dessert recipe to top off these wonderful meals.

The most disturbing thing of all is the rave reviews that these recipes get. Have our tastes really sunk this slow? And does no one ever use spell check anymore?

Laughable, @Tropicalsenior !

On top of that, in Firefox, only the first few paragraphs can be read. As one rolls down the menu page, the cursor pops back up to the top of the page.

Fortunately, in this case, as I really don't want to read any more about the chocolate dessert.

I've never used Firefox but in my case I use either Samsung internet or Chrome. Samsung came as the default browser on my phone and I've just never changed it. For my computer and tablet, I use Chrome.
