cooking

In the age of Postmates, Seamless, and Uber Eats, it's okay to be a sh*t chef. Realistically, we can't all have master cooking skills after all. This Twitter meme has people making fun of their own lack of kitchen chops, and we're here for it.

It's certainly a (potentially true) stereotype that the Millennial generation hates cooking and loves ordering Postmates every night, but for those of us who do enjoy an exotic cooking excursion, these Tumblr posts (and these memes) really hit home.

And if you're someone who can't stand cooking, let our friends at eBaum's World help you out.

Ladies, do you get horrible period cramps? That sucks, but think about how your poor husband feels when you're not there to cook and clean for him because you're "in too much pain." He's waiting for his dinner and he doesn't know how to boil his own water for pasta, dammit.

In all seriousness, clearly this narrative wouldn't fly today, but the mid-twentieth century and before was a completely different story. Scroll down and see for yourself.

Practically any time people start posting near-thirst trap photos of themselves on the internet in droves, they have to expect that the rest of us are going to roast the absolute crap out of them. This particular Twitter meme makes fun of people doing just that, next to an image of the food they cooked and the caption, "The Cooking, The Face." 

Now bring on the roasting, no pun intended.

If you've missing Mr. Meme of Stonks and surreal meme fame, you're in luck! The smooth-faced character is back in these amusing "Shef" memes that roast people for thinking they can cook when they're basically only capable of typing numbers on a microwave. While we totally understand being too tired or even just hating cooking, these memes elicited a few hearty chuckles from our weary bodies. 

We love a good cursed food pic, but sometimes you need a little humor mixed in with your cringe. That's where the Instagram account @boyswhocancook comes in. They're pumping out the perfect mix of abhorrent culinary disasters and hilarious food memes, so depending on your mood you'll either wretch in horror or chuckle at McChickens. Here's a selection of their latest and greatest posts, but we urge you to give 'em a follow so you're never left wanting. 

These cooking fails - some technical, others...intellectual - are pretty freaking horrifying. There's truly nothing worse that attempting to make a meal for ones self and mucking it up entirely. You're left hungry, embarrassed, and often without some seriously integral cooking tools. 

In case you thought you were a bad cook...think again. These people really f*cked up their attempts at cooking so badly that you'll feel really good about your own cooking skills, even if you can't cook for sh*t. Like really, how hard is it to boil water for pasta? Is this some kind of Millennial phenomenon??

We gotta take this time to show our appreciation for all the line cooks out there who work tirelessly to prepare our delicious food with little to no gratitude. Like, damn you guys are badass and most of the time you don't even get tips or health insurance! Our hats are off to you! 

(And honestly we wouldn't really blame you for spitting in a rude customer's food.)

Oh look, Millennials are back at it ruining everything! A new survey conducted by Porch and tweeted out by Now This News claims that Millennials might be the worst generation at cooking ever, and that nearly 40% don't even know what a butter knife is. Additionally, only about 40% know how to carve a turkey. The horror.

Porch surveyed 750 people of all ages, asking them if they considered themselves to be "good cooks" - just over 60% of Millennials answered yes, while well over 70% of Baby Boomers said the same.   

Many on Twitter have pointed out that the reasoning and methods used by the surveyors is heavily flawed - it's almost like hating on Millennials is all just a big marketing ploy to distract us from real problems! Lol nah, that can't be it...
