#the dorito effect

[limbinda]

I’m reading a book called The Dorito Effect about flavor and how foods have lost it over the years. Food is now made to look better and be more plentiful, but at the cost of how it tastes. Chickens are bigger and grow faster, but they are slaughtered young and younger meat is bland. Same goes with cows and pigs, animals are killed when they are juveniles and thus don’t taste as good as they might have 75 years ago when the animals were mature when slaughtered.

Fruit and veggies are grown to produce more and look bigger and more luscious, but engineering them to be this way has increased the water content in the plant and sacrificed flavor and nutrition. As a result Americans are turning to flavoring to make food taste better. This means dips, sauces, spices and rubs etc… 75 years ago a fried chicken recipe only called for salt and pepper because the chicken flavor was strong, but now a good recipe calls for a dozen different ingredients to just make the chicken taste good.

The book also goes into how labs develop flavors to be put into foods, specifically ultra-processed foods. What types of chemicals they use to imitate natural things like vanilla to produce a cheaper product that still tastes like a plant based ingredient. It’s a fascinating book. Unlike the other nutrition books I read it doesn’t tell you how to eat one way or the other, but simply writes about the evolution of flavor in the western diet.

In a timeline where Civil War didn't end in divorce and everyone lives in the compound:

Steve, walking into the living room: Don't worry Buck I think you'll really fit in around here. Everyone is super nice

Peter: Oh my god you're living here too?! Can I please look at your arm? Please please please please please-

Bucky: *turns around and leaves*

-

Clint: So... wanna test if your spider-sense defeats my perfect aim?

Peter: Oh my god do I ever

Tony & Steve: NO.

-

Peter: Hi. Big fan. Y'know we're like a spider duo. Crime fighting spiders. Arachnid pals

Natasha, staring blankly:

Peter: Web friends? SPY-ders?

Natasha:

Peter: Spinneret associates?

Natasha: Leave.

Peter: Yes okay sorry ma'am

-

During a meal:

Bucky: *glaring at Sam*

Sam: Ay Rogers come get your dog

Steve: Bucky, leave it

Bucky: *glares down at soup instead*

-

Peter: Mr. Rogers could you help me with my homework?

Tony: What the hell kid, I'm right here

Bruce: I have... so many degrees

Steve: Hey I know a thing or two myself. Sure Queens, what do you got?

Peter: Great! I'm just gonna ask some questions for my essay. What would you say the role of war propaganda was in your decision to enroll in the military? Was being poor a factor? Actually, how was the Great Depression for you?

Steve: Less depressing than this conversation.

-

Steve: Take a jacket, it's chilly

Wanda: Okay thanks dad

Steve:

Wanda:

Peter: Ha! That's so embarrassing, it's like calling your teacher dad

Wanda: Shut up Peter, you call Tony dad all the time

Peter: Yeah but I do it on purpose so it's not embarrassing. I'm very open about my daddy issues

-

Tony: I wanna punch you in your perfect teeth

Steve:

Tony: Looking at me with your angelic blue eyes, like a freak

Steve:

Tony: Stupid Dorito ass build. Making me wanna take a bite

Steve: I feel harassed but I'm not sure what kind

-

Natasha: Hey bird brain!

Clint and Sam both turn:

Natasha: Hm, that's a problem. You have thirty seconds to decide who gets bird brain. The other will be feather head

Clint and Sam: *start arguing*

Tony: I can't believe they're fighting to be called an insult

Steve: She has that effect on people

Peter: Aw man, I wish the Black Widow gave me a nickname :(

-

Peter: Hey old man

Bucky:

Peter: I'M SO SORRY SIR MR. WILSON MADE ME DO IT PLEASE DONT KILL ME

Sam: *cackling in the background*

Bucky: *stands up and turns to Sam*

Sam: Oh shit- kid you're not getting the money if you're gonna snitch!

Peter: That's okay, I'd like to think my life is worth more than twenty bucks

-

Bucky: I need your... help

Tony: Sure, what's up?

Bucky: *glances back at Steve who stands in the doorway and nods approvingly*

Bucky: Arm.

Tony: Ok... this conversation is killing you isn't it?

Bucky:

Tony: Say please

Bucky: Nope can't do it-

Steve: Do I need to get out the get-along shirt?

*Bucky and Tony share a look of alarm*

Bucky: Please fix my arm

Tony: Yep of course no problem buddy

♡‧₊˚ Babydaddy!Chris x Sweetheart!Reader - Licensed Driver

(not me posting this a week before Chris told us he got his license😭)

“I fucking did it!’ your boyfriend shouts throughout the house as soon as he opens the front door. The boys had been gone the last few hours, failing to tell you what their plans were since you in a dead sleep on the couch when they decided to leave.

Your morning sickness was starting to ease up, only enough to make you feel like you're somewhat functioning. The last few months consisted of nothing but vomiting, off-and-on fevers, and sweats and shakes, making it nearly impossible to get anything done. You were happy your constant state of nausea was finally wearing off.  Chris, being the big help he was, always made sure everything was squared away for you.

“Put your keys away, baby,” he jokes as he bounces around the corner, holding up a laminated square card next to his face with an ear-to-ear grin. You let a gasp roll off your tongue, standing up from the couch. Before you can say anything, Chris is already putting his feet in motion, “ya babydaddy is a licensed driver,” he beams, not letting his smile drop one bit. His comment makes an oh-so familiar redness creep to your cheeks, and you press your lips together, fighting back a smile. It was obvious he still had the same effect on you as he did the day you met. Clearing your throat to make no words get caught, you take the license from him to admire his picture, “you look so cute,” you coo at him. 

Chris hurriedly snatches it back, “my picture is bogus. I had hat hair,” he admits before you snatch it from his hand, “hey!” astonishment laced around his words.  “Chris, I’ve literally seen you with bedhead, I don’t care about your hat hair,” you snort before taking another look at his license, “why didn’t you tell me? I could’ve came with you!” 

“I wanted it to be a surprise,” he tells you, sitting down on the couch and picking up a bag of Doritos you had abandoned an hour earlier. You sit down next to him, watching as he shoves a few in his mouth, “I don’t want you driving to all the appointments with how baby bean’s been making you feel lately," his voice muffled by the crunching of chips. You knit your brows together, indicating you could barely understand him. Once Chris finishes chewing, his words become more clear, "I don't want you go out late at night on snack run either. People kidnap pregnant ladies, y'know," he tells you before sitting up to take a sip of his Pepsi, oblivious to the fact he had just unlocked a new fear for you. You weren't leaving the house anytime soon by yourself.

“Yea, now he can stop asking me to get all the disgusting food combinations that kid wants,” Matt chimes in as he strides over the opposite side of the sectional, plopping down with a playful smirk plastered on his face. His comment earns a bellowed laugh from Nick who was sitting at the kitchen island, “It's Chris’s kid, what do you expect?” his voice laced with sarcasm. Chris lets out a heavy sigh as he tosses the bag of chips in your lap, “wow, no congratulations?" matching the same playful energy as his brothers, "I got a kid on the way, and I just got my license. Shows how much you guys care,” he pouts, crossing his arms over his chest. 

Matt turns to you with the same shit-eating grin Chris had smeared across his face a few moments prior, “looks like you’re gonna have two babies on your hands in the next couple months, huh?” 

“As long as you babysit,” you shoot back, and he follows it with, “you fucking wish," quickly after.

I love how I came up with this fic a few days before Chris got his license 😂😂

If I gave the amber skies cast access to well known modern day chips (Doritos, Lays, Pringles, Sun Chips, ect) who would prefer what?

Student: Takis. Not the shitty European versions either. The real shit. Her strain is virtually immune to the negative effects of capcasin so it's all flavor.

Sorcere: Doesn't eat.

Teacher: Salt and Vinegar feels "humourous" being ingested into her organelle structures.

Kali: Baquari can't have too much oil so she'd be a fan of those like, roasted pita chips.

Nico: Can't really eat chips but would destroy gas station beef jerky. Slim Jim's would be a guilty pleasure.

Marin: Always gets Doritos because they're the popular meme chip. Tries to point out that he's eating Doritos as if that fact in of itself is funny.

Kip: BBQ flavor lays only.

Lunine: Obsessed with those like, weird "healthy chips" made of pretzel dough or kale or whatever. Gets mad when Marin points out that they have just as many calories and preservatives as the Doritos.

Silence-Between-Strikes: loves a good restaurant corn chip but they get stuck in her jaw etchings so she can't have them too often.

Six: Ridged lays, because they're ideal for dip.

Pre Workout Ramble.

I really didn’t feel like running this morning but it helped to just put my clothes on and my earbuds to prepare. Now I’m all ready so I have no excuse not to go. I also texted my husband to tell him my route and estimated time of departure and return.

I finished The Dorito Effect during my last jog so this time I’ll be listening to An End to Cravings by the same author (Mark Schatzker). He’s not a doctor but his books were recommended by a reputable scientist, Dr. Chris van Tulleken, who wrote Ultra-Processed People. That’s why I decided to get Shatzker’s publications on Audible. The Dorito Effect was really interesting, so I am hoping this next book will also be good.

[gay-dorito-dust]

Giving Bill Cipher the princess treatment prompt or hc's? (Bill totally isn't threatening Reader's entire family if they don't princess carry him and call him babygirl) I love how you write Bill by the way!

Warning: unhealthy relationship stuff and threats from bill.

After everything that went down with sixer and his supposed ‘betrayal’ bill didn’t think he’d find an another puppet companion so soon until one day he came across poor unfortunate you.

Some half baked sob stories of his origins and looking through his fingers at you to make sure you were feeling sympathy for him later, and you were effectively under his thumb by the end of the week. The quickest he’s ever manipulated someone into feeling sorry for him yet!

Now you were stuck forced to carry him in your arms whenever he wished and calling him…baby girl…why you never bothered to ask as whenever you did raise things into question with Bill it usual turns out something like this:

You: don’t you think that’s a little extreme?

Bill: and here I thought you were suppose to be supportive of my dreams and aspirations. Oh well I guess you didn’t need your family that much if you’re quick to question me-

You: No! It’s a brilliant plan! No flaws at all! You’re so smart…baby girl…

Bill: *smirks when you fall back in line* good now I demand to be carried in your arms *he gives you grabby hands*

You: *sigh* yes baby girl *proceeds to pick him up and carry him for the rest of the day*

You’d even have to call Bill baby girl when your mad unless you wanted the corpses of your family to be piled up on your front door!

It was ridiculous but what could you do when stuck in a less than ideal relationship with a demonic triangle who could bring you to heel with a simple click of his fingers? You were doomed to be his servant for the sake of your family and even if you did go to anyone about it, who’d believe you? You’d be the new old man Mcgucket for certain.

So you only sigh and do whatever Bill wanted in hopes it will satisfy him enough to leave your family alone, even if it was brief.

The worst case scenario would be If bill saw that you weren’t being enthusiastic in your affection towards him, then that would be a harder thing to dig your way out of. It didn’t matter whether you were tired mentally or physically, if Bill wanted to be carried in your arms he will want you to do so with a complicit smile on your face.

Bill: you don’t look happy to be carrying me? *squints his eye*

You: *quickly puts on a fake smile* what?! I’m more than happy to carry my baby girl! It’s the only highlight of my day, nothing could ever compete with spending time with my baby girl!

Bill: good! For a second there I thought you’d have to be attending a family members funeral for a moment. Haha guess I must’ve been seeing things, right? *he stares uncomfortably at you*

You: yeah because how could I ever show you any other emotion other than happiness and love. *internally dying*

Bill: also don’t over compliment me, it makes you look clingy and I don’t like clingy.

You internally: as if you aren’t clingy yourself you fucking discarded sentient Dorito chip.

It’s better to keep playing his game until he inevitably grows bored of you, and god forbid if you ever encounter Stanford Pines ever, your family is certain for destruction if Bill caught you talking to his traitorous ex partner. (Potential for Stanford x reader?)

Needles to say if you were to ever be granted the ability to time travel, you’d go back and warn yourself to not trust Bill Cipher, not if you want your family’s blood on your hands just because you didn’t call him Babygirl first thing in the morning.

You: morning bi-

Bill: whichever family member your love the most will die in 5 seconds if you don’t correct yourself sweetie.

You: morning babygirl, what should we do today?

Bill: *pats you on the shoulder* that wasn’t so hard was it? And I don’t feel like doing anything that requires me to part from you for suspicious periods of time incase you do something I don’t like. *stares at you menacingly*

You: good choice! All day with my babygirl? I’m so lucky…so extremely….lucky. *looks over at the photo of your family and friends* blessed even…

Bill: you sure are! Now why don’t you carry me! *grabby hands 2.0*

Materntiy Chip Eclipse Au Information

This Au is based off of Foxy suggesting he and Monty put a maternity chip into Sun for views (video: “The Monty and Foxy Show gets Shutdown”)

In this Au they go with the plan, and make their own maternity chip, so things don’t get out of control. 

They wanted two things; Sun to be motherly to FC, and to be affectionate to Foxy. Sun’s main personality would not change, no emotions would be restricted. So Sun’s emotions wouldn't be build up, like Roxanne’s did. (I least that what I believe happened) They wanted to remove any possibilities of that from happening. The only behaviors that will change are the ones he feels towards FC and Foxy. After 20-30 minutes or a day, they would remove the chip. 

Their plan was simple. Foxy was to jump on Sun and install the chip while Monty disabled the lights, so Sun would be disoriented for a few seconds. Unfortunately Foxy jumped the wrong Sun model and Eclipse was hacked instead. Truly a wrong place and time moment. Comic

As said the chip was only supposed to amplify Sun’s maternal instincts towards FC, and make him attracted to Foxy. It did the same to Eclipse, but also accidentally increased his maternal instances towards his creations. Other children do not have the same effect. Though he is more considerate about them. It's only FC, Lunar, and Bloodmoon he truly sees as his children (I’ll draw those scenarios at some point). The maternal codding is more naturally placed, so it doesn't feel wrong for him to be motherly towards his children. Even though one of his memories is of Lunar betraying him, but he'll just ignore that, it’s fine.

And since his personality wasn't altered, he’s still the same spicy Dorito everyone knew him as, and will still continue his main goal in canon, he just has children to take care of now.

[fizz-pop-thwip]

Oh Steve and Bucky's physicality? Why yes, I will deep dive into that, only if you insist 🙂‍↕️

The serums lead them to where they are now obviously, and the serums are DIFFERENT. Steve's was refined, the og. Its not just a biological feat beyond most people's understanding but what Erskine created was an ART. Utterly refined, working and 'super soldier-ing' in the most efficient and effective ways possible. Steve obviously had the MOST physical change, something Hydras serum wouldn't have achieved even if Bucky was Steve's original size when he got it.

Steve is lean (Not truely lean but leanER then Bucky.) his serum had the power and engineering to rely on the SUPER half for most of his strength. Does he have the correct muscle mass to be able to lift a bus? No. But does he have the super strength to make up for that? Yes. If we can take ANYTHING away from this over a decade old fandom, Steve is shaped like a Dorito, broad shoulders and smaller waist and lean, powerful muscle.

Bucky on the other hand, his serum wasn't so well crafted. To catch up with Captain Americas strength, hydra had to rely more on muscle mass and real strength. Bucky is bigger, wider, more raw muscle, obviously still with super strength but just less, not as much to make up for less muscle. Bucky's more rectangular, he's less then half an inch shorter then Steve, if that, but everything else culminates and makes you THINK he would be taller, you know?

I believe in general Bucky's weight fluctuates much more than Steve's ever would, (With Steve's serum being how it was, I doubt MUCH change is happening to his body, point blank period.) maybe Bucky's skinner when he's first starting to heal. He has muscles, there's no changing that any time soon with the serum in him but hes not really eating properly and hes been so sick. He's just paler and feeling weaker overall. And later when he's more healed, less nightmares, less stress, he puts on a bit of weight. With him not being as active as an assassin might be and adopting better eating habits, he gets some tummy on him.

Steve ADORES it, goes crazy for it but he goes crazy for Bucky always so maybe that doesn't say much. He just loves how healthy it makes him look, how it represents his progress in a way.

I think Steve also just naturally forgets he's technically the taller one. They're practically the same height really anyway but Steve carries himself differently around Bucky, not to mention their history. The natural feeling is just that he's smaller and that results in a lot of accidental knocking heads.

Anyway this is my copium for the evening, goodnight😴

[seat-safety-switch]

When you can't sleep, it's crazy how many fears enter your mind. At around four o'clock in the morning, even the slightest thought can get a grip on my consciousness and work me into absolute fear. Did I really wire that lightswitch properly? Is my tax withholding correct? Have I neglected the investment potential in my home's equity? To solve this problem, I've invented an alarm clock that can't read four o'clock.

When the witching hour of fear approaches, it simply switches to 5 o'clock. At 5:59AM, it merely goes back to 5:00 and proceeds throughout the day as if nothing had happened. Really a very simple process, if you're the kind of person who rewires alarm clocks for fun already.

This might seem simple. In fact, to some of you, it might seem delusional. Surely, four o'clock still exists? And yet, we are dealing with an irrational series of late night fears. If I roll over, stone awake, and see that it is 5 o'clock, the brain does not immediately produce a bunch of bullshit fears. Instead, it goes "oh shit, we need to go back to sleep. Have to get up for work soon." I haven't slept better in years, and it's all thanks to my invention.

At sleep-theory conferences, where I present this magical device to thunderous applause, some sleep scientists ask me if just removing the clock altogether will have the same effect. No, because then the alarm doesn't go off, and I don't get to work on time. Then I eat an entire bag of Doritos for breakfast when I get up at 2:30 in the evening, and stay up until 4:00 in the morning. This is a more comprehensive problem, and is easily solved by getting an alarm clock that doesn't work very well.
