Capitalists see nothing wrong with option 2.
I prefer option 3: Everyone brings some cake to the party, and everyone gets to enjoy the variety of flavors, because we all pooled resources.
Cake potluck for a birthday is a dope idea!
The sheer fucking amount of cake that would be leftover at the end would make me sick.
I mean, I'd eat it all, so therefore, I'd get sick.
But most people usually bring too much to a potluck, and with cake it would likely be even more. So much leftover cake.
I used to do potluck pie parties, because people are happy to go savory with pie. Chicken pot pie, tamale pie, beef and onion, etc. It’s all about tasty with a crust.
You just blew my mind...great idea!!! First though, it's time to get friends...
Awesome. We had wedding pies instead of cake. Who doesn't want 10 kinds of pie to choose from?!
I've been to a few low budget weddings that did this. It was awesome. No $10K dinner bill for the newly weds, just a shit ton of homemade desserts.
A panluck? God, I would be so in. And you could really get experimental with the cake if you knew it wasn't the only one there.
Maybe if we say which cake we will bring....otherwise you end up with multiple of the same type, or maybe the exact one if not home made.... Which sucks.
Or option 4: everyone brings some ingredients, or skills, and we all bake varying cakes which are then enjoyed by all, because it's a cooperating group that doesn't give one asshole all the cake that's baked.
How many hours is that supposed to take?
It usually takes an hour to bake the cake, but since there are 10 of us it only takes 6 minutes.
As little as needed. No reason to force people to sit around acting like they're baking cake.
This should be a thing
Don't forget to stab people with your fork, if they get too close to your cake.
Pfftt, amateur hour. You're not a real capitalist success story until you've hoarded enough wealth to afford hiring a poor person to do your fork-stabbing for you.
The post is about the Police.
Nah, Just claim you'll give them enough to one day hope to have as much cake as you, then only let small crumbs fall so the government has to step in and feed them for you.
You can also have them go out and stab those who try to make they own cakes and cut you out of the equation.
CUT MY CAKE INTO PORTIONS
EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF PEEPS
MANY SLICES
SO YUMMY
THIS IS THE BEST PARTY
Capitalist version:
CUT MY CAKE IN NO PIECES
THIS IS MY SOLO TORTE
IT'S JUST FOR MY
OWN EATING
DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF IT MEANS THAT I'M GREEDY
Cut my cake into pieces
I've eaten my solo tort
All for me, no sharing Oh did you think I'd be sharing?
Do you even care if I die eating?
It would be right, it's always right
To hog the cake to myself
Let the proles eat what they might
All the cake is out of sight
And I'm contemplating a second plate
Cuz I'm eating my cake, Eating my cake
No one else is eating my cake
Eating my cake, eating my cake
No one else even needs a plate
I can't even think about this song without Angry White Boy Polka playing in my head lol
Perfection
CUT MY CAKE INTO PIECES! THIS IS MY PLASTIC FORK!
The cake is a lie!
Of course each attendee in scenario 2 will give you two cookies for participating.
But I don't like cake. Please don't make me eat it all.
That’s the beauty of capitalism, it’s your cake. Do whatever you want with it.
Cake fight
Cake farts
Where I live we just cut portions as we go
Option 2 is 100% somebody's fetish.
I had this intrusive thought and now you have to too!
Hey there, pal! Gotta say, I respectfully disagree with your take on taking a slice of cake under capitalism for yourself and not sharing it with other people. Now, I'm not here to rain on your parade or anything, but let's dive into this and have a little chat about it.
Now, you mentioned capitalism, and boy, oh boy, that's a whole can of worms right there! Under capitalism, my friend, you gotta work to eat that slice of cake. It's not just handed out willy-nilly. I mean, think about it – in a capitalist society, resources are distributed based on productivity and the market's demand. You work, you earn money, and then you can reward yourself with that scrumptious slice of cake.
Sure, it might seem unfair to some, but it's the system we've got for now. So, instead of complaining about not getting your cake without doing anything, why not channel that energy into working hard, improving your skills, and securing your own slice? It might not be the easiest path, but it's the one that capitalism lays out for us.
Now, I'm not here to push any specific ideology on you, but it's essential to understand the underlying principles governing our society. And as someone who majored in Economics, well let me just aay i feel I am certified in this field. So, my friend, let's strap on our work boots, embrace the capitalist game, and earn that slice of cake together!
I choose to believe that you're being facetious.
Exquisite
This is a beautiful shitpost
