Flax Seed Bread - sh.itjust.works

“I find that a duck’s opinion of me is influenced by whether or not I have bread. A duck loves bread, but he does not have the capability to buy a loaf. That’s the biggest joke on the duck ever. If I worked at a convenience store, and a duck came in and stole a loaf of bread, I would let him go. I’d say, ‘Come back tomorrow, bring your friends!’ ― Mitch Hedberg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYQEf93tZO0 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYQEf93tZO0]

But don’t actually feed them bread, it’s bad for them!
If you do want to responsibly feed ducks, frozen peas, frozen corn kernels, or bird seed are all affordable and OK for them to have in limited amounts. Be sure to never overfeed, because excess food is bad for the ducks and can also attract rats that prey on eggs and ducklings!

Now we need the clip of the black comedian who said he took receipts for everything, even a simple cup of coffee, so he always had an alibi in case the cops wrongfully arrested him.

Two very different perspectives on life in America.

DO NOT feed ducks bread
Came here to read this.

From what I’ve seen, this is mostly because white bread is junk food for them. A more natural bread like this is better.

Also the concern with giving ducks junk food is that they’ll fill up and not go for other foods, but I remember reading somewhere that that’s not the case. At some point they do lose interest in bread (though the leftover bread in the water brings its own concerns.)

Plus bread in a pond or water system will eventually rot, adding bad bacteria and upsetting the water cycle. Plus it is also bad for the fish:

Boo bread, boo!

Can Fish Eat Bread? The Surprising Truth Revealed - Fishy Features

Have you ever wondered what types of food fish can eat? Many people assume that bread is a safe and nutritious option to feed their aquatic pets. After all,

Fishy Features

From what I’ve seen, this is mostly because white bread is junk food for them. A more natural bread like this is better.

No, it is the carbohydrates. “Natural” bread contain as many carbohydrates as industrially produced bread.

Carbs alone don’t make junk food. It’s the absense of other nutrients that make it junk food.

If carbs were inherently bad for beings in a survival situation (as ducks and other animals generally are,) we wouldn’t think they taste so good.

Fundementally, compared to eating vegetation and high protein insects/fish, bread is absolutely junk food. Feeding them nothing but uncooked whole grains would likely be considered junk food as well, for them (outside of winter).

I wish I could build a chitin exoskeleton.

Damn kids these days, no appreciation for their skeletal system

Just some nice hard points and maybe a big pair of chitin gliding wings. Keratin protein is cool and all, but wouldn’t it be nice to get some extra features from eating ice cream instead of just having to store it.
I think whole expensive whole grain bread is just fine. White bread is bad because they fill up on it and it has no nutritional value.
I watched a YT vid about why American whine grain breads are trash, too. If I can stay awake long enough after my class is over, I'll try to find it. Please remind me, as I've got 2 minutes to be back in class and everything went wild this week.
Not OP but I’m interested, so here’s a reminder

Bread is $10 a loaf. If I were the wife i’d be fucking pissed.
lol where are you shopping?

That was the price of “Mikes Killer Bread”, like… Tuesday this week?

So its the expensive-ish bread. And that was at the cheapest grocery store in town.

Wait, do you mean Dave’s killer bread?

probably? idk I don’t really eat bread, my wife does. Like mile or jakes or maybe daves or something. I’ll post the pick she showed me when I can find it.

9.99 a loaf.

Dave’s is right down the street from where I live, I should check it out someday.
That’s a little more than double than that brand costs here. I am going to guess it’s maybe a the doubly pack you are looking at? That or you live somewhere that has an abnormal amount of costs sunk into shipping, like Alaska, or and Island, or something?

Yep, island.

Still… Before pandemic maybe we pay 1-2 dollars more for some items. Everything was more expensive but uniforrmally so. Now everything is 2x. Everyone knows it’s just gouging, but nothing can be done.

If it’s not a nation island, it may be cheaper, in the long run, to move to the mainland.
Yeah but then you live mainland.
For anyone interested in why you don’t feed ducks bread, its called “angel wings” where their wings deform and feather stick out all over the place and they can no longer fly. It’s also said to be very painful for the ducks also.

Goddamn I thought it just caused them to starve to death that’s fucked

Well so is them starving but still

Wtf why would food do that? I thought they just couldn’t process it not mutate them.
We recently started making our own flaxseed bread at home. Adding almond milk makes it more fragrant, and toasting + butter makes it taste good. Very heavy on the stomach too so it helps with keeping yourself full longer.
Are you implying that it doesn’t taste good without butter?
We don’t add any sugar to it so it does taste bland (which I assume is what the meme is implying), so a little butter helps.
Don’t get me wrong, I love butter on bread. I think butter elevates good bread to one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. But I also think (good!) bread has awesome and plentiful tastes on its own. But I’m happy that you love bread as well :)
For a minute I thought they were saying “tank, yo” and it was some kind of gen alpha slang that was too cool for me
Don’t bother ringing it up, it’s for a duck. I got six ducks out there, and they all want Sun Chips!

man, I used to dislike whole wheat breads with seeds and stuff but… Dave’s Killer Bread Good Seed is fuckin’ amazing. BLTs, texas toast, quick sandwiches on the run - thin slices so not too bad on the calories, and tons of awesome <i dunno, bird seed?> content… highly recommend.

but cute comic.

And it’s still wonderbread.

Imagine what could be if you were to taste something like this :P

For non USAnians, this is Dave’s killer bread

😮bread in a bag?!?!
We have this in the US too, it’s really good

I cook a lot of borscht nowadays and I can second, Dave’s Killer Bread is actually killer.

The origin’s funny, also. He was a convicted murderer.

They hire ex cons (about a third of their workforce) and are working on some charitable causes to help reduce recidivism rates. They’re a solid company.
I agree. It’s nice to see pro-social organizations.
yeah the people calling it wonderbread don’t know what they’re missing. like, have standards for your bread, for sure, but don’t be a snob.
I’ll be honest, I don’t trust bread that looks that… preservable to taste good.
This may shock you, but in the United States, we have many different kinds of bread for different purposes. I can get bread like the top picture every day from the grocery store, from a couple of different, local bakeries. It’s wonderful to eat with good butter or jam, but totally wrong for a BLT.

BLT

Oh yeah, those go well in a rye-wheat mixed bread with slices so large that half a slice is big enough for a sandwich. Or in a lye roll, also perfect for hearty/salty sandwiches with veggies.

This is simply yet another reason to buy real bread and not that squishable sugar-laden machine-made amalgam marketed as bread.
Everybody talking about the ducks, but is no-one else absolutely jarred by the man hating on the tiniest improvement on the abomination that is American wonderbread? Like come on, be happy that you are going one step closer to salvation and actual tasty bread by buying soft sponge with at least some flax seed added. Flax seeds are delicious.
The Americans are leaking

Traditionally baked bread doesn’t “squish”. It had to be durable without all the modern conveniences. You just couldn’t waste calories.

Traditional doesn’t mean better. If it seems that way, then it’s because the more horrendous practices have been abandoned. I’m just saying, if it squishes, then it’s just “American bread” with seeds thrown in.

I eat a lot of bread.

In my opinion a crust is a must and traditional is better than American ¯⁠\⁠_⁠༼⁠ ⁠•́⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ ⁠༽⁠_⁠/⁠¯

If you’re happy with your state of things, that’s ok for you

in Germany “modern” bread is the same as “traditional” bread

There is a huge difference between the bread from supermarkets and that from bakeries like Hofpfisterei in Munich, that really keep traditions alive. You ever notice how much of the brown bread in supermarkets is not actually whole wheat? It’s colored brown with caramel.

If it says Vollkorn then it’s 90%+ whole-meat. If it doesn’t then it isn’t, your usual “brown bread” in Germany is a Mischbrot.
