Riddalin: the all-purpose cure
Over in [info]cooking, health-conscious user [info]changeopresto has a bone to pick. You see, the United States is currently being ravaged by an obesity epidemic, and she has made it her personal mission to change that. Thus, she humbly requests that all "non-healthy" recipes be placed behind a cut.

Other users quickly point out that she is in a general cooking community that accepts all types of recipes, and that it can be hard to objectively define what is and isn't healthy. And of course, she is not a mod and should just use the scroll button.

The wank takes a turn for the truly bizarre in that last thread. [info]ladyartemisa points out that what is healthy varies from person to person - for example, her husband has hypertension and must cut down on salt, while she is pregnant with low blood pressure and must load up on salt.

[info]changeopresto is confused. "Ok well I don't know what doctor is prescribing a low salt diet for hypertension. I thought they gave people riddalin for that."

[info]obfuscate brings the snark which immediately leads to [info]changeopresto uttering the comment of a million lulz. Protip: The 'H' is ADHD does not stand for hypertension.

Bonus lulz: Pastry is not real. Also, butter.

400+ comments, so there's plenty more wank to be found. And of course, [info]changeopresto edits the original post with the mandatory, "GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!!"

ETA: If you find something through otf_wank you really should resist replying.

ADHD stands for Attention Deficity HYPERACTIVE disorder. It means having trouble concentrating.
No- Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

They mean healthful, not healthy. Healthy implies it won't poison you or make you sick.

Well my little brother had Attention Deficit Hypertension Disorder and they gave him riddalin.

Occasionally, it's actually worth it to follow the links to the wank.

obfuscate: That's like joining [info]porn (not actually a community, apparently) and asking if people would be so kind as to post images of or references to penises behind a cut because you're a lesbian.

changeopresto: Ok well I WILL ask for an 'amen' from someone on a) penis pics being put behind cuts in this community, and b)being a lesbian.

Recipes aside, you don't need to be insulting my sexual orientation.

What, do the recipes themselves contain calories that you absorb just by looking at them? Otherwise, I can't see the point of putting them behind a cut.

If you want to be exposed only to healthy recipes, don't join an all-purpose cooking community. That's like joining [info]porn (not actually a community, apparently) and asking if people would be so kind as to post images of or references to penises behind a cut because you're a lesbian.

I am so bookmarking this to link the next time the anti-incest/slash/BDSM/whatever crew shows up in an existing newsletter or fic community to explain why whatever they're shocked and horrified by this time should be banned.

Well, I did eat quite a lot of imaginary cake this Easter, and take Ritalin, so....

No, I got nothing.

(The imaginary Easter cake is a true story. The only small child I know to like Doctor Who more than I do fed me tons of imaginary cake made on, not in, the cool pail that was her Easter basket at our fake-Grandma's house.)

Is it just me, or does the OP's literacy waver in weird ways? I mean, there are comments with perfect grammar, and then ones with bad spelling and obtuseness. It's giving me the troll vibe. Well, that, and my hope for humanity.

Because, seriously, bringing up healthful eating is one of the easiest way to stir up shit in a food community on LJ. Well, that, and the origin of bread.
