You should do it. It's fun and beneficial

It probably would have saved my sister from maiming her hand when she tried to cut a block of parmesan with a non-serrated chef's knife.

She was a teenager so the stupidity of it can be slightly forgiven on her part, but damn.

depends on the child

You made this thread with the same image like two weeks ago

Picture = cringe

you mean "derpend"

Oh, so this particular user shouldn't teach the children locked in the back of his van to cook.

knowing how to cook = higher quality of life

not knowing how to cook =
dependent on fast food
dependent on prepared frozen food

It's important and done in all schools in developed countries. Japanese elementary schools teach kids how to descale, skin, fillet their own fish and make miso soup and basic meals from scratch from 5th and 6th grade.
4th grade they show they how to hang a dead octopus to be dried for jerky.

You = faggot

he is right tho

It's really too bad the parents don't do it. That way the schools can focus on other things.

Now I'm thinking of "Jiro dreams of Sushi"

where they had the guy who had to beat on the octopus all day long

I've only tasted octopus once when I was young. It was in some chinese food someone ordered and I literally chewed it for 5 minutes and couldn't make any progress. It was like chewing on a tire.

What's cringe about rage comics?

the person posting them

Source?

How old are you?

24.

you should obviously go ask reddit or 9gag or wherever the fuck it is you came from

It's a compilation of played-out and dead memes. It's not even post-ironic anymore. At this point it's either a purposeful shitpost or a sign that you kind of missed the boat due to age or ignorance.

If you're above the age of 9, you better have the mental capacity of a 9 year old if you think rage comics are anything but cringy

Certainly! It builds hand-eye coordination, concentration, and healthy eating habits. Kids are more likely to eat things they helped make without bitching. You'd be surprised what kids can do-- a five-year-old I babysat could pour muffin batter just as cleanly as I can.

Just don't give them the sharp knives before they have fine-tuned coordination. Eleven to be safe. That being said, my mom gave me adult kitchen scissors to use on veg when I was five and sharp knives when I was eight. She figured that if I could control my pencils for art class, I'd be fine.

If you honestly hate something because hating it makes you feel "adult" then I feel bad for you.

Holy Fazoli's!

you're obviously ignorant of what you're doing so i'll just tell you that you will not get different reactions on this entire website (and probably many others likewise) and that if you want actual responses you'll need to stop

Not at all! I'm shitposting right before I get my cardio in on a swing set. It's nice weather today.

I just don't think rage comics are funny anymore. Sometimes, jokes are overused and played on until they're dead. It's sad when it happens, but that's how human brains work.

Calm down, lad.

No, I don't like them because they're 1) childish. If you can relate to situations in rage comics, you're WAY behind the curve emotionally, mentally, and intellectually. Do you think the Teletubbies are funny too?
2) they're fucking retarded, like you.

I can't relate to them. They're just stupid and funny.

they know what they're doing, don't fall for their ruse, look how vague the OP was, they just wanted to post rage comics.

I don't see it as a strict necessity, but it sure is beneficial that they learn to be self-sufficient in every possible way, the earlier the better

What would you cut parmegiano with?

>cut parmegiano
i'm not even sure if i should reply to a tripfag. but you don't cut hard cheese, you grate it

Not the tripfag, but I like to eat slices of hard cheese, especially the rind.

It's good with dark toast and black coffee. This is my favorite lazy lunch.

I use a good serrated blade, personally.

Very true but I will go one step further and argue that in addition to preparing our own food we need to teach our children to grow it and preserve it to reduce as much as we can our dependence on corporate overlords. You really want to be essentially a feudal serf sucking at the tit of your master?

When I see the amount of wasted vegetable growing area in the US suburbia it makes me sick. You can't even imagine the amount of food that can be grown and preserved from 1/8 acre. And most suburban plots are 1/4 acre.

Curing meats and cannnig are skills that everyone of us should be implementing. Why don't we? The only reason I can think of is a lazy self-complacent gluttony.

of course, at least make sure they're not as much of a fuck up as the rest of the world.

i buy it in bulk and cut it down to manageable proportions

If you can't figure out how to cook on your own, you're the biggest doofus ever. It's instinctual, I don't know how you could mess it up. What did you do the first time you talked a girl into taking her clothes off? I never watched porn or masturbated before I lost my virginity, I just knew what to do, it's in your blood. You don't need that explained to you. And cooking is like that. I never had anyone around to cook for me, so I did it. It's not hard.

wow, you really took the time to type this shitpost? not sure if i should be impressed or sad

I post for fun, it's called funposting. I don't know what galaxy you're perceiving my posts from. Btw, it was eight sentences, not exactly an Ayn Rand novel.

This one's pretty funny.

kill yourself already

I'd tell you to do the same. I'm not a monster or anything, I just know you'd be incapable of it without someone explaining it to you, so it's okay.

So how long did it take ya to figure out how to make a grilled cheese sandwich for the first time. genuinely curious

you madman

I'm a mean alcoholic like my father and his father and so on so if I had kids i would probably just beat and berate them constantly until they grow up to be complete losers who have dead end jobs and never cook anyways. I got a vasectomy to break the cycle

Good man.

Every child should be taught how to cook. Even the most basic meals.

Absolute necessity.
Even basic things, a simple base pasta sauce, how to make basic porridge, carrot soup. Even beyond that, just a basic understanding of how to prepare things, like how long to boil certain vegetables, or how to measure out rice. I learned my shit largely through poor-college-student level experimentation and some internet sought recipes but my parents did teach me enough of the basics that I was able to not cause any fires, slice off any fingers nor burn half of my face off. Which is almost as important as cooking something that tastes acceptable.

>needs to be taught how to cook without maiming himself

Gee whiz, user

Nah, I just lived with idiots who regularly caused collosal fuckups.
I'm talking burned potatoes, oil splashes to the face, grabbing hot baking trays with their bare hands.
It's partly why i hate middle-class hippies so much now.

Uh-huh....alright Buddy, whatever you say.

Start with this if you have a big ole block

Get it down to a manageable size and then cut with your regular knife if it's sharp enough. If not use a serrated one
