Democracy doesn't work when you're a dummy!
I've been on this huge baking/cooking kick these days - a sure sign that I am either depressed or.....fluffing myself up for the winter because I'm apparently a bear about to go into hibernation.
In any event, I like trolling the internet looking for new recipes to give me ideas, and then I try them and fix them and make them extra awesome. However! What I've noticed in my travels, is that a lot of people don't understand the concept of voting and rating. Recipes are usually rated on a scale system by whether or not it's good, and that will dictate where it falls on a list of say thousands of recipes. What I'm finding is that people will rate recipes and give it 5 stars out of 5 and leave a comment like "I haven't made this, but it SOUNDS delicious." But then people who have made it already are giving it like 2 or 3 stars....because the recipe tastes like kitty litter or something. Well...come on! Lots of things SOUND good...but are they good when you put them together? Ice cream sounds good. Grilled salmon sounds good. Does that mean grilled salmon ice cream is a good idea? NO! IT ISN'T!
WTF, people?? How do you vote on something if you don't know anything about it? It's like...voting in an election and knowing nothing about platforms/issues/etc. but because you like someone's name.
And the ironic part is that baking/cooking is something I do to calm me. Unfortunately when it's another round of Woot's-Adventurous-New-Recipe-Day, I come across idiots online and by the time I get in the kitchen, I'm just a bigger angerball than when I started!
Man, people piss me off!
...They all need an ass full of pipe wrench.
