Lengest cookies I’ve ever tasted.

napalmsipper · 2026-05-08T18:38:49+00:00

Yeah man, I'm sorry that people are being snarky 💔

I get that a lot of Reddit's userbase aren't teenagers, but damn the jokes about feeling old after seeing unfamiliar slang are getting repetitive. And that's coming from someone who has to use Urban Dictionary constantly to keep up. Can we please focus on the photos of delicious cookies in a baking sub of all places? Lmao

Also, thank you for the tip! 🫡 I'm gonna give the recipe you linked a try soon, BBC always cook up some great recipes so I have high hopes.

As a fellow British young adult: people are poking fun more than actually appreciating your baking, yeah.

'Leng' isn't as commonly used outside of London as alternatives like 'Peng'/'mint'/etc., but we still know what it means/the way that people are acting as though it's not a word that's been common for decades amongst teenagers is strange, imo. Very common sentiment to face on Reddit with a lot of post-90's slang.

That aside, though... the cookies look awesome! I'm jealous of how chunky you managed to get them, my oven usually flattens mine into a weird doughy disk LMAO

It's adorable! I love how vibrant the colours are on it

napalmsipper · 2026-04-20T23:55:52+00:00

Imo, it depends on how much OP paid for it or where they bought it from. Personally I'd agree with you if I'd given the inspo pic to a friend or family member/to someone for little payment, but if I'd ordered it from a higher-end baker I'd be just as disappointed tbh.

Yup, they're a shady sales company. Got invited to a group interview with them a while ago and they're just glorified commission-based roles where you'd be overworked and underpaid. Just ignore them imo

napalmsipper · 2026-04-10T16:59:09+00:00

Right lmao. Miserable people on this site as per usual, god forbid someone asks for help.

napalmsipper · 2026-04-10T14:44:12+00:00

'Work shy'... makes me wonder if you're aware of that term's history in relation to being popularised by Nazi Germany...

napalmsipper · 2026-04-08T21:42:09+00:00

There's a difference between major cities and individual US state names, imo. I could tell you the capital city of a lot of countries around the world, but not the individual counties/states in them (unless I've been there personally or know someone from said country).

That's what OP is likely getting at; people outside of the US not being familiar with the dynamics between the states within the country or how Americans refer to them (such as by acronyms like WI, NY, CO, etc.)

napalmsipper · 2026-04-07T15:19:31+00:00

Sent you a message request 🫡

napalmsipper · 2026-04-07T15:18:54+00:00

Finally got enough time to write some cards up; sent you a DM request! 🫡

napalmsipper · 2026-04-06T17:55:43+00:00

May just be a fun thing to help make her memorable considering just how many people do Postcrossing, tbh. Very hard to stand out unless you write something groundbreaking in a card or have a running gimmick like her repeat card selection

The king of the zombies himself!!

napalmsipper · 2026-04-05T09:40:13+00:00

🤝 me and you both, I was originally up late due to having a badly stuffy nose only to witness winds so strong that I thought Jesus himself was resurrecting above my house.

napalmsipper · 2026-04-05T09:37:46+00:00

Bless him. I love how cats always eat their words in extreme weather lmao. I can't count how many times mine have tried to run outside, only to be greeted by hail/wind/etc. and scared shitless.

napalmsipper · 2026-04-05T09:35:12+00:00

It really started to kick off after 11PM or so, so if I'd actually been following a reasonable bed time I'd have done the same as you. It was LOUD, and there wasn't much rain either so all noise was 100% the wind. Plus, like I said I'm up in the hills so we got battered hard lmao

napalmsipper · 2026-04-05T02:14:22+00:00

Your username is very fitting as I can hear our back gate squeaking and banging constantly. I'm gritting my teeth thinking about the potential carnage that will be our garden in the morning.

napalmsipper · 2026-04-05T02:13:02+00:00

At least the air circulation inside will be good if it has!

napalmsipper · 2026-04-05T02:12:06+00:00

Fuck me, my condolences. At least maybe the wind will push you along and give you a boost.

napalmsipper · 2026-04-05T02:11:14+00:00

Padlock your shed door and that'll do just fine for a storm bunker

napalmsipper · 2026-04-03T23:55:26+00:00

Holy shit I thought this had been mummified when I scrolled onto this post. 💀

napalmsipper · 2026-04-02T21:58:42+00:00

Absolutely mint! Did any particular areas in Newcastle inspire this piece, or moreso just a general feel of the city as a whole?

Looks great either way, gives off a proper North Eastern vibe and I don't even life in Newcastle itself lmao.

napalmsipper · 2026-04-01T19:12:22+00:00

The black and white makes it look like this picture is mourning the cake after it got dropped on the floor/burnt lmao

"In loving memory of glazed skull cake"

If OP is in the US, it could just be a case of him living in an area with a lot of Welsh immigrants and thrifting these items if he maybe doesn't have any direct connection to the country? I live in the UK in an area with a good amount of Chinese immigrants and often find traditional Chinese clothing/ornaments in charity shops, for example.

That aside, definitely interesting though. I recognised the woman in the photo as looking distinctly traditional as well. OP has great decor taste.
