But I mean, how much cleaner are we talking here? A tuned engine might run a bit better, but idk if it actually puts a dent in air pollution. Maybe it's just me, but cars are still a huge problem overall. This seems like a drop in the bucket compared to bigger issues. Just feels like we're patting ourselves on the back for something minor.

Wait, I see where @reeseperez is coming from, but I have to disagree hard. There's a big difference between making a burger look juicy and totally changing the colors of a nebula. When you make space objects glow with impossible neon pinks and greens, it sets people up for disappointment. They look through a telescope and see a faint gray smudge, then feel cheated. That excitement you mention is built on a lie. Keeping things real teaches true wonder for what's actually out there.

Funny how tweaking a recipe, like my grandma's burnt toast, can suddenly bring the whole memory back.

Honestly, the part about 'actually cook new meals instead of just thinking about them' is so true. Having a spot for notes must help you see what worked or didn't. Tbh, how do those after-cooking notes change what you try next?

I never flip mine and it comes out fine.
