As part of a ~*life-changing food hacks Twitter Moment*~ that came to life Thursday, Mabel Ye’s Feb. 4 cereal tweet (above) re-emerged. In it, Ye demonstrates, if you pour your milk separately of your cereal and douse the latter in the former spoonful by spoonful, you avoid a soggy mess completely. Upon first viewing, some might think, Oh, shit, or, That's so smart. For some, though, this was Just Too Much.

Some simply did not have the time.

Some did not care to make the effort.

Some could not wrap their heads around the logistics:

Some thought it was all just really fucking weird.

Others* didn't care and just wanted to eat their goddamn cereal.

Do you remember 2015 when our biggest concern was people who put ice cubes in their cereal? Those were simpler times. Those were better times.

*Me. It me.
