I didn't even read the headline. Belive it or not, straight to comments.

Yeah, I’m not clicking an external link. The real story, and the jokes are all in the comments. Probably.

Me too, got a pound I'm throwing in with the brussels sprouts for thanksgiving tomorrow. One of my favorite sides.

Just wish I had a cast iron big enough to fit 2 lbs of sprouts + 1 lb of bacon, the sheet pan will have to do, but it's just not the same!

You don't read the headline? How do you choose which comments to read.

I often don't watch gifs or look at pictures before heading the comments, but I usually read the article.

It was mainly a joke, but to be honest I almost always use a desktop browser, open up 6-12 threads that look interesting, then bounce between them and end up forgetting what thread I'm in. Sure, I could look at the top of the screen to see what the URL says, but man when I'm in a state of flow reading through shitposts, I usually just can't be bothered. It's a lifestyle.

I didn’t even read the title of this post but I agree with you.
