Most food doesn’t taste good enough to justify the calories

If you break food down systematically, there’s the amount of time you actually spend eating it, the pleasure you get during those few minutes, and then the calories you’re left with afterwards.

I recently did a whole food tour and tried donuts, pastries, burgers, tacos, gelato, pizza and a bunch of other stuff. Most of it was honestly just a 5–7/10 (pretty mid). You eat it, think “yeah, that was pretty good,” and forget about it ten minutes later. Meanwhile, you just ate anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories.

A lot of food also has a pretty obvious ceiling. Dough can only taste so good, no matter how authentic the pizza or expensive the pastry is.

The few things that actually felt worth the calories were the ones that got everything exactly right. The sweetness, saltiness, richness, acidity and texture were all perfectly balanced. For me, that happened to be a few creamy desserts and a couple of smash burgers, but it wasn’t really about the type of food. It was about every part working together without anything overpowering the rest.

I’m not saying food has to be healthy or low-calorie. I just think that if something has 800 calories, it should give me an 800-calorie experience. Most food doesn’t.

Najlepšie dezerty v Brne?

Mám teraz týždeň diet break, tak to chcem využiť. 😄
Bol som v Mlsná Holka, Dezertina, Kobliha Brno a Profík & Trolík

Počul som, že Carlini stojí za to.

Viem aj o dezertoch od Terézy Pachtovej, ale tie sú asi skôr na objednávku.

Máte ešte nejaké tipy na top dezerty v Brne?

Pixel 7 vs iPhone 17 Pro selfie, finally my skin tone doesn’t look washed out

Coming from a Pixel 7. first time iphone user.

First photo is from the iPhone 17 Pro, second is from my Pixel 7.
One of the biggest differences I noticed is the skin tone. On the Pixel 7, my face often looked a bit pale or washed out, while the iPhone 17 Pro seems to capture my actual tan much better.

Also, the photo preview before taking the shot is incomparably better on the iPhone.

New haircut, I feel like the top was cut a bit too short. Thoughts?

I asked for the top to be left longer so I could style it forward into a fringe, but I feel like too much was taken off. The sides are fine, but the top feels too short for the look I wanted. The last pic is what I had in mind.
