You Don't Matter, Give Up.

Welcome to "You Don't Matter, Give Up."

This community is inspired by the concept of text that conveys opposite messages when read in a different manner. While it shares similarities with [email protected] and [email protected] in that all of these play with the idea of misreading text, YDMGU specifically focuses on phrases that can be read in both directions, with each interpretation being valid and opposites of each other.

Important Note: This subreddit is not a place for discussions about suicide or self-harm. If you or someone you know is struggling with these feelings, we urge you to seek help. Please visit [email protected] or reach out to appropriate resources for support. You matter, don't give up.

Rules

  1. Stay On-Topic: All posts should relate to the theme of YDMGU-style text. Content should convey antagonistic messages when read in different directions.

  2. Be Respectful: All members should treat each other with respect. Harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks will not be tolerated.

  3. Quality Content: Strive for creativity and originality in your posts. Low-effort or repetitive content may be removed.

  4. No Misinformation: Ensure that any messages or themes shared are not misleading or harmful. The intent should be to uplift, even if the wording is ironic.

  5. No Spam or Self-Promotion: Avoid posting spam or excessive self-promotion. This includes unrelated content or links that do not fit the community’s theme.

  6. No Rule Lawyering: Moderators have the final say in all decisions regarding content and rule enforcement. If you disagree with a moderator's decision, you are welcome to discuss it in [email protected].

The unintended second message is probably closer to the truth, anyways.

This is honest marketing.

This seems to be a honest brand. I pulled the nutritional value from their website:

Well it didn't list any apples, so they are very honest! /s

But yeah that's actually pretty good. Except for some of us that need to control our sodium intake. 750mg/100g is reasonably high.

This product should be called No Added Apple, Salt Cake

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

but hold on, literally 0g sugar? "no added sugar" is one thing, but surely there should be sugar from the apples, or something? a cake with literally 0 sugar sounds.. incredibly unappealing..

TIL what a polyol is.

I want a sugar pack that is labled "Only added sugar"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Now with 100% PURE ADDED SUGAR

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

but also "no added sugar"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I read 'no added apple sugar cake' and thought 'is apple sugar cake a common additive?'

FYI these are pretty good for diabetics and taste decent.

My favourites are the muffins and the fake peanut M&Ms

You can also get packs for cheap near use by date, on apps like Too Good To Go

48g of carbs per 100g is not low carb. It's about the same as any other cake.

Also, whatever they're considering a 'portion' is not what people eat. It works out to about an ounce.

FWIW I'd need 5-10u of insulin to cover a normal size portion. There's probably enough fat in it to trick a glucose meter at the two hour mark, which is really faulty data for a type 2.

Edit- strike that last part, probably not enough fat or fiber to trick a meter.

Sorry I should have elaborated I meant "as a type 2 I can have their products and not spike", also not specifically tried the shown item.

That packaging is confusing to you?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

See above , this instance is for "text that conveys opposite messages when read in a different manner."

It's not necessary for it to be confusing, just conflictingly readable.
