This is a dumb question, but I can't take this anymore. I have to ask.
What's with all of these weird craft videos online and why are they like that? Is this some sort of satire I don't get because I haven't been here long enough? Who is this for?
I mean, baking an entire multi-colored cake only to cut a slice and freeze it in resin... That's got to be some kind of joke I'm not getting, right?
[Guess who somehow managed to end up in a horrible clickbait rabbit hole at 3 AM?]

I'm kind of torn.
Some of those videos looked to be made by people who do this kind of thing for a living, so this is as much a form of advertisement for them as it is for entertainment, right?
You'd think they'd pick something that was made to look like it tastes good too. Unless that isn't the point of the business either?

like how tv stations sell ad space, maybe these videos do the same.
you get so engrossed in how surreal the spectacle is, and the next thing you know......
it's 3am.

But it's nice to know I'm not the only one getting caught up in these.

i like to think im a rational person who wouldn't get sucked into this kind of mindless crap.
maybe i should just close my eyes until i fall asleep.

Does that normally work for you?
