Soooo.uhm...yeah(heh)

gay

Before you were born

i just watched a video about tmt and want to sound epic: the post

at the end of the day, if your life philosophy involves getting angry/upset at anyone or anything for stupid shit like taking pictures of their food, you're probably spending too much time caring about stupid shit in general

Since Anthony bourdain lowered the bar for foodie hipster bullshit.

when I felt like looking at my food later

But you do...

i like looking at the before and after

>please give me attention
Granted

>problem glasses
>beanie
>plaid shirt covered by a teenager's hoodie

Fucking dropped.

human memory is not lossless
shocking, I know

Sometimes I snap a picture of something that has a great presentation. Someone put work into that, and it's going to be devoured, unlike a painting.

I'm basically sharing and preserving someone's effort and continuing to send people back for a good experience. It's why I look at Yelp photographs instead of reviews, so I can tell what actually has some effort put into it.

I think it's a sign of everyone having access to smartphones now

>tfw to intellegent

can't complain b/c i like looking at pictures of food

Taking pictures of food you didn't even make to post them online no less for strangers to see is the most basic bitch thing in the world
At least hot girls show their boobs a bit, we get it, you can afford a burger, you can stop now.

I think it's a sign of a culture that hates itself
Think about it, those people who grew up in a turbo liberal city never really connecting with anyone, never being able to grasp at anything to form an identity. All they know is that they hate society and since there is nothing to define themselves as something apart from society that means that hating society is hating themselves.
So what's left? Looking for the next stupid frivolous thing to Instagram, they go to school to learn nothing and get a job were they don't work, they date other people that are exactly like them, they choose other people to have sex with in a catalogue.
People only born to play a role and consume, truly disgusting

Fuck you all. I once took the world's most perfect dessert pic and I'm glad I did it. I'd fucking do it again you mother fuckers.

Fucking behold.

That brownie looks really dry, at least it has ice cream and syrup on it

It looks like an octopus with a skull head.

>i retire now to my vulgarly lavish home, a respite from the cruel obscenity of the world

>that glisteningly moist browny looks really dry

yeah ok

Am I a bad person?

What's wrong with documenting pretty food? Someone took a lot of thought and time to make that.

I know not everything is worth capturing, but that's the point: the exceptions, no?

>that time you ordered the octopussy antipasto

If you take pics of food I absolutely despise every ounce of your being. You can spend your days rescuing cats from trees and reading to kids with terminal cancer, butI don't give a fuck, I want you dead, you piece of shit.

>I know not everything is worth capturing
Pic related?

Is that sticky date pudding?

Good pic but underwhelming food

Acceptable but not that marvelous of whatever that is... fried chicken?

This dish looks good and interesting but the weird filter and lines suck. Also, I feel like it was taken with a flash.

I dont know but i usually shit when i shitpost so i dont touch my phone after i wash me hands to eat.

It is chocolate cake, with ice cream. When it is brought to your table they drizzle hot fudge over the whole thing.

It's at a steak house near me. Sometimes the wife and I just dip in for this dessert.

My mum and I send each other pictures of our dinners if we make something special. She really enjoys it.

Fried chicken sandwich with some sort of sage aioli, iirc.

You cannot tell from the picture, but the fried chicken was perfect.

I do this too with my mommy. And a really close best friend who is also a total foody.

It's a nice way to share the human experience with a loved one.

Fucking nice user. What did you shoot it with?

>foody
>share human experiences
>>>/reddit/ Seriously

>on an image board
>"our culture is too mediated by images"

No, user, you are the Spectacle.

Yep I only take pics when traveling.

This was 10 dollarydoos in Prague.

Best carpaccio I ever had

my friends take a pic of every single fucking meal they ever eat and it drives me crazy.

>eating some shitty breakfast
>send pic to the group chat

>we go out to eat
>post pic on snapchat and instagram

>eat chinese food or some other fast food
>have to tell me about it in group chat

>Work at a restaurant
>On a bunch of teens snapchats giving them their shitty burgers and pizza and snazzy liquor drinks with light up cubes when I drop it at the table

ugh

For some people that feeling like you're a celebrity and that people care about every stupid ass thing that comes out of your mouth is an addicting feeling, and social media only enables and encourages that

Looks good famiglia

You're still doing it, and you're part of the problem.
Socialism is dead, get a life.

>feel alive
I don't know, self-absorbed people feel all sorts of things.

Get a real hobby.

If you wanna talk about food as an art form, then the food's intent by the "chef" is supposed to capture something fleeting. Capturing your food to look at later is pornographic and vain.

No one said that job would be glamorous.

This.

The only time I'd take a picture of food is if the presentation had a wow factor to it

...

If someone taking pictures of food makes you feel so negatively, your life must be shit

Subjective

Yeah, and your point being?

My life is fucking awesome.

>wow this guy cares about something?
>ill show him

I love food, I'm a foodie.

my point being just because you think a plate is shit doesn't mean it's shit to everyone

He never takes pics of food except that one time with the Bocuse goose and also this morning on Instagram

Why are you serving teens alcohol, user?

Not user, but the drinking age is 18 in Québec and even lower in other parts of the world, my man

Cuisine, "high culture" and the organized worship of ephemera in general is degenerate.

ISIS destroying museums is one of the last few genuine acts of vitalism.

Oh, yeah, I agree with that. That's why I don't really give a shit if people take pics of their food. They see something they like, so fuck it.

Then why are you so mad?

welcome to the internet, my dude. It's just shitposting. If I feel like angry posting I angry post. If I feel like cute posting I cute post. If I feel like retard posting I retard post. If I feel like gay posting I gay post.

Now get out of here before I grab your dick, faggot.

what if you take a photo of food and don't post it online? like you just keep it in an album.

>If I feel like angry posting I angry post. If I feel like cute posting I cute post. If I feel like retard posting I retard post. If I feel like gay posting I gay post.

Why would you do any of the above? Seems silly.

Because I like silly posting :P

>Have Asian friends
>If I mention I went out and don't deluge them with pics, they get pissy and won't speak to me for a week
It's easier to just let them see, OP.

>Taking pictures of food BEFORE you eat it.

Fucking casuals

For some reason the singularity believes that eating freaky deaky ethnic foods and traveling out into the sticks (in foreign countries) constitutes some kind of enriching or life-affirming experience.
Since there are surveillance cameras built into most devices they feel the need to document whatever irrelevant shit they see and do. Because what's the point of doing something if it isn't going to earn you some social capital in the process?
There you go.

Effectively, the "experience" it's a product now.

When Millenials became of age.

They got a hold of cameras and were like retarded kids in a candy store.

When I was growing up, everyone had a camera, but they would use them to preserve memories on special occasions. Nowadays everyone uses them to takes pics of everything to show off to their followers on social media.

>hurr I'm bitter about everything

And had filthy body art implanted on their skin for some insane reason.

Better than taking pictures of food after you eat it, no? Or was that the "joke".

I'd tend to agree. I really don't know how food could be photographed without reference to the skill that created it. That's intrinsic to the document of the photo.

Food, kitchens, chefs and eaters are all fleeting. Nothing vain about recording some of the nicer parts of it.

This is a fucking fantastic shot, user.

Projection and meanness.

You user MUST be trolling, teehee!

I did it once at a fancy restaurant and I was made fun of. Never again

DIY leeks

Cheer up, user. I once had a table of Boomer queers laugh uproariously when I finally took a bite of my food after shooting a couple angles and generally learning how to use a camera. They thought they were bravely defending some pre-technologic culture but really just came off to me as a new version of urban idiots.

It's always old people that think they're so clever and wise to admonish our addictions to electronics.

I hope they get pancaked by an UberXL and die wondering what that is.

>I love food food food food

Food I do adore

Turkish yum yums

people get triggered when people take pictures of food now.

when are people gonna get triggered when people take pictures during their vacation?

>this means you need to take a picture of every little fucking insignificant thing.
If you can't remember it, it's not good enough. So it's not worth having again. No need to bother taking a picture of it.

I think it's more to do with everyone having cameras in their pockets, user. not that complicated.

What if you seek out the remarkable and don't settle for the unmemorable?

Then you'll remember it. No need for pictures.

You twat, if nobody ever took pictures of their food, this board would have nothing to talk about.

"I made a cake"
"cool show a pic"
"uhhh i can't it's a sign of our culture's growing narcissism and decadence"

Went 'out' for the first time in years.
>Bunch of people I don't know included
>ALL of them whip out their phones and take like 5-10 different pics/angles/settings of their entree.
Went for a shit and didn't go back, I'm not old fashioned, I just don't want to pay more for the 'ambience' and socializing if it's literally just fucking facebook IRL.

How desperate are people to show off the fact that they went outside?
