Started posting lil clips from my gaming escapades. Follow me if you like watching frantic split seconds decisions that always end horribly. Sometimes horribly good, most of the time horribly bad.
@fluffycrypt I have a much easier way for you to turn $200,000 I to $64,000. It involves cash app, and never contacting me again after you send it to me.
Those "grill scrapings" are what happens when ground beef hits 450°F steel and the proteins undergo the Maillard reaction at maximum surface area.
A spherical patty sitting on a grill touches maybe 15% of its surface. A smash burger pressed flat against a plancha touches 90%+. That means 6x more beef surface is simultaneously converting amino acids and reducing sugars into hundreds of new flavor compounds. The browning you're looking at is roughly 500 to 1,000 distinct molecules that didn't exist before the meat hit the steel.
The crispy lace around the edges is rendered fat that seeped out under pressure, hit the hot steel, and fried the protein strands from the outside in. Those thin edges are essentially beef chips. They shatter when you bite them, which creates a textural contrast against the still-juicy center that a thick pub burger physically cannot produce.
The flat geometry also solves a heat transfer problem. A thick patty has a massive temperature gradient from surface to center. You either overcook the outside waiting for the middle, or pull it with a raw center. A smash burger is thin enough that the entire patty reaches optimal temperature within 60 to 90 seconds per side. There's no gradient to manage.
George Motz documented over 300 burger restaurants for his book and found that nearly every legendary regional burger in America, from the Midwest butter burger to the Oklahoma onion burger, uses this exact technique. Thin, pressed, maximum contact with a hot flat surface.
The ones that look the worst on camera consistently taste the best. The visual mess is the flavor.
JUST IN: Afroman drops a banger before the lawsuit against him goes to court Monday in Adams County, Ohio.
Afroman just released “Batteram Hymns of the Police Whistle Blower” a day before the lawsuit heads to court.
Adams County sheriffs are suing Joseph Foreman for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress for featuring them in his music videos from the night they raided and vandalized his house and allegedly stole $400.
In the new song and video, he calls the deputies out by name, packed with videos photos from the raid and some AI to make it comical.
Pretty ballsy.
Watching Gary Oldman crack up at fart sounds dubbed into his own scenes and laughing until he’s in tears might just be the purest joy you’ll see all day.
This gag of Jake just carrying an egg around the whole episode is so dumb I really love the payoff of Jake crying in joy at the miracle of life this is just the kind of ultimately meaningless thing you'd expect him to do it's so in character lol

In 2021, Jim Lang, the composer of Hey Arnold!, came across a cover of “Look Up,” the song from The List episode, on Instagram by a fan named Manouchca Joseph. He reached out to her and asked if she could send him the recording. He added a piano part, shared it with Craig Bartlett, the creator of Hey Arnold!, and this beautiful video came out of it ✨🎵
