  • As someone who’s only read the title, I don’t think I’d like this book.

    I’ve made bread before, a lot actually. Many kinds with different flours.

    But I’ve used yeast for years because I couldn’t have added phosphorus due to kidney failure (which baking powder has in it). I’ve also had other less commonly used raising agents like cream of tartar and yogurt. I also made it by hand because could not afford a bread machine or had the space for it. It’s extremely messy.

    That said, if you’re using baking powder and a bread machine, you might as well just get bread from the store. You’re just doing the same as a factory does really. And I’m some cases maybe worse since some factory bread is made with yeast instead anyway.

    If you want fresh bread, you can in most cases just go to a bakery section too these days, from what I remember when I lived in the USA. In EU basically every store has a bakery section with bread made daily tho.




  • Chickens always gave a lot of eggs. That’s why they were popular since ancient times. As long as they had surplus food, they start laying eggs. A dozen a year is just misinformation - that’s only in the wild, during spring because that’s when they have a surplus a food. If humans feed them every day, then they lay eggs because they always have extra food.

    We raised free roaming wild chickens. The hens had a high up coop we’d close to keep safe from predators that they’d return to on their own at night.








  • My mom led horror movies but was too scared to watch them alone.

    For some reason she thought kids don’t really remember things until around 6 years old.

    So with her I watched hellraiser, IT, Freddy Krueger, Chuckee, The Thing (Carpenter version), Amytiville horror, Pet Sementary, Alien, the exorcist, and some others when I was 4 and 5.

    Only ones that really freaked me out as a kid was Chuckee, and that hellraiser movie where pinhead comes out of a screen specifically (the third hellraiser I think?). Alien and Amytiville were my favorite ones.




  • Yes Prep Southeast campus (charter school does 6th - 12th grade).

    The school decided to experiment with separating the boys and the girls in 6th grade.

    The result was the 6th grade boys started a secret fight club with money involved in the restrooms, and some high schoolers were managing it. It was found out after a boy’s head broke a sink.

    The girls got very slightly better grades though.

    Other than that, the usual also happened; corruption, fraud, teachers doing pedophilia and ephebofilia, etc.
