this feels so specific but in like 2013-14 the main way i saw "life hacks" was searching that on google images and finding toptext-bottomtext adjacent images with mug recipes and random cleaning stuff and the like. and later i watched youtube videos about them but it was still in the format of one or two people testing them. like i Remember the shift that happened to buzzfeed troom troom whatever else

#posts #i was 11 or 12 then so idk how long those images and videos were happening before i found them #anyways im thinking abt this because i remembered a mug cake video i watched where they mixed the batter in a bowl and then poured it into #the mug. and thats such an interestingly small but telling shift in the method #where originally those recipes are like. one-pot recipes. designed for convenience #mug cakes by which i mean Microwave recipes are so cool too. but they look Prettier for a youtube video if you mix the batter like normal #and then wipe off any spots that happened on the inside of the mug while it was rising. less important/more understandable action but it #really like. completed the image of Ah i see this is like. performative. which feels like a wild thing to say about a mug cake video but do #u feel me...... bc of course this video was made at the height of the mug cake Trend. the only reason that video exists was because it was a #trend. and they made it a prettier version #anyways. again it feels wild to get deep about mug cake video. you know what i fucking loved from 2014? galaxy. we need to make everything #galaxy again
