There is no objective taste reality, so there is no false reality. Taste is a complex experience of actual taste, aroma, texture, memories (your grandma used to cook that way), setting, hunger (ever been hungry on a long hiking trip?) - what ever combination gives you pleasurable experience, tastes good for you.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
