Not wishing to be rude but this feels like it’s missing a section on the benefits of eating oatmeal sometimes.
There’s a favourable comparison to the protein/fibre/arsenic content of white rice, but I don’t eat a lot of white rice so I am left unclear on the motivation for substituting something I do eat with oatmeal.
Yes, on one level that’s part of the joke. But also, following the above instructions, it can be a low-cost complete meal with nonperishable ingredients that can be fixed in <5 minutes of work and <10 minutes of waiting.
Ah, perils of text-only communication and my own mild deficiency in social senses; didn’t catch that it was a joke.
Has nonetheless got me thinking about whether some toasted oats would be a good addition to any of the recipes I already like. Lil bit of extra bulk and texture, some browned nutty notes—there’s not nothing to that.
there is this standard legend (which even makes it to many oatmeal labels) that the presence of soluble fiber in the oatmeal is particularly beneficial for vascular health
I didn’t catch on at all that this was humor, and as a result made a point to pick up oatmeal next time I was at the grocery. I do actually like oatmeal, I just hadn’t thought about it in a while. It has since made for some pretty good breakfasts.
This whole sequence of events is either deeply mundane or extremely funny, I genuinely can’t tell. If it’s funny it’s definitely at my expense.

Seems like a bad joke, and accordingly I have decreased trust that bhauth posts won’t waste the reader’s time in the future.

that’s certainly quite tempting, if true

Good news: the post is both satire and serious, at the same time but on different levels.
