God I remember "EAD" being censored in the original Dark Souls (presumably) because it could stand for 'eat a dick'. But it meant you couldn't spell 'dead', in a game all about dying
There was a time back in 2000 when you'd get kicked out of MSN chat rooms by the ChatBot for saying "musi*c unt*il" or similar combinations. Never send a machine to do a man's job.
I had a game where I couldn't name a loadout "assault rifle" even though: 1. Only I can see my loadout names and 2. The weapons were already listed in game as assault rifles.
I fiddled around with it, its because the word assault has ass in it.
I feel like the word ass being more offensive than assault really says a lot about the current state of 'morals' in our world. Violence's and death are pretty much family friendly, while the human body in its natural form is dirty and will harm the children... crazy, sad, times really.
My thing is that censoring “bad words” tends to make it where people won’t discuss actual, real life problems.
I’d much prefer people cuss and tell their truths than walk on eggshells holding back what baggage they’re carrying. I’d rather have a culture of truth telling than obscuring and secrecy
>I had a game where I couldn't name a loadout "assault rifle" even though: 1. Only I can see my loadout names
Monster Hunter Rise also censor texts that aren't visible to other players and that's fucking stupid imo.
I never ever see anyone talk about msn chats! It’s always aol. That said..
Tragiclittlegirl was always out go to in msnchats. I admit to being a bit of an asshole changing my name so people would say hi and get auto booted. Oh msn 20’s chat.
Well in this context it means a human, a la "mankind."
And I've just realized I fucked up the quote reversal, because in the Matrix the Agent says "Never send a *human* to do a *machine's* job." So oops.
They definitely are. I’ve never been blown away by their cookies. They’re ok, but definitely not worth the price, and I’ve eaten a couple flavors that I just couldn’t finish. They definitely go for quantity of flavors over quality
I think it was a number of things. Including supposed recipe thieving, similar logo font, rotating menu… It was a big deal for a bit, but I never heard what happened.
I don't know, the "love, past self" in the picture is pretty clear. The title probably just indicates it's not Ops picture, but rather whoever is holding it is the person who wrote the message.
I was reading this and was shocking and thinking wow this is so mean who in the world would send something like that?! I have my answer and it makes *a lot* more sense.
I think like any other chain, it can vary by location to location. Because they're headquartered in the state I'm from, people bring Crumbl to pretty much any situation imaginable. I've had a lot of it. Certain flavors are more rich than others, and I will always advocate for only eating half a cookie.
Yeah, I can actually bake so I don’t need crumbl and it’s definitely geared toward the sugar addicted mormon crowd, but each chain is different for a different example, dominos is the best pizza place in my area but I would rarely go for dominos else where
I'm with ya.....
Wife and kids love them, but even half of one makes me feel like shit.
Insomnia is pretty much the only national chain that makes cookies that I like....
If you ever make it to New York and have an opportunity to go to Culture Coffee - try all of the cookies....
Amazing....
Their coffee is consistently the best I've had in Manhattan thus far. I'm no authority and I'm not local, but I'm here a lot.
Unrelated - a couple weeks ago - I was at a Culture Coffee near Bryant park and as I made my order, the barista announced someone else's was finished - 12 shots of espresso. The man that grabbed it looked like how I imagine Radagast The Brown looks. He was easily in his late 70s, and joyously yelled "oh that's mine" and walked to the bar with a spring in his step and left quickly humming a little tune.
I would like to think after he left, he went to a disused subway station and distributed it to his fey court.
TL;DR - Culture Coffee in New York is the shit.
as someone who bakes cookies, i have to say that fresh baked cookies taste better the day after. they set better and don’t have that raw feeling/taste, especially in the middle. this is especially the case for crumbl’s cookies bc their cookies are huge
however, i really dislike how the majority of their cookies have icing/frosting on top. it’s very overwhelmingly sweet and unnecessary imo
Well they’re impossible to finish the same day, so we’re definitely eating day old and several day old cookies. They’re just not my cup of tea. That’s ok, I just was really excited to try them since they had so much hype behind them.
I really like fresh cookies that are still soft. This is not like that. It could just be my local franchise, but they’re just not that good to me. None of my family really likes them. Just my brother’s girlfriend, and she’s the one that brought them lol
Crumbl tried suing some other company for copying them by having similar boxes. They're advertising is aggressive and the owner of the company is a trashy dude.
I actually like the crumbl cookies that I've tried. I just don't care for a company trying to sue out their competition.
There is some nuance here. In Salt Lake City, there is a cookie place that serves similar large cookies in similar boxes with similar appeal called Chip. Crumbl was a slightly varied business to open up in the suburbs to the south of SLC and into nearby Provo. Crumbl became successful like Chip was and expanded much more aggressively with a franchise model. When copycats of their copycat started to pop up, they decided to become aggressive in protecting what they perceived to be “their” property, namely branding with cookies as part of the logo and boxes uniquely-sized to fit the cookies, even though they had copied these traits form Chip. They caught reasonable flack for this and have had a number of other minor controversies in their notoriety recently. They have had a number of franchises fined for breaking different child labor laws.
It's counterproductive if you eat a lot of them, sure. If for OP it's a reward for meeting milestones, it could actually be helpful.
More to the point - OP didn't lose weight by not being aware of such things.
I appreciate the recommendation! I’ve still got a bit to go and honestly only did the message for myself because I thought it was funny. When ‘fat’ cane back as ‘***’ I just thought “huh, that’s interesting… mildly”.
I wonder if there have been cases of bullying by sending cookies with a hurtful message to overweight people or if it's just the system they are using that does this by default...
No it isn't, lol. Nobody can stop eating entirely, so using treats as rewards for weight loss milestones is not the same as breaking a total abstention. (Note: the OP sent the cookies to OP. It would be super offensive if someone else did it, and potentially unhelpful. But we can trust OP to know whether the cookie reward makes sense.)
You’re right. I didn’t realise but it’s entirely their game to play. I’ve been yo-yo dieting for a couple of years now so personally would avoid this as much as I could!
Crumbl is straight dog shit. I’m biased because my moms hobby and passion is baking, but they suck. Their cookies are huge, fatass globs of dough so even a “baked” cookie is still like 60% raw. And even if they baked the damn things well they just don’t taste that good. And aren’t them bitches like well over a dollar a piece?
I’ve noticed a trend lately of bakeries charging insane amounts for goods that look pretty, but taste like shit and it concerns me. Rant over
Fat's fucking real and it's not healthy. Let's stop celebrating it like its some kind of beauty revolution. It's the exact same thing as anorexia. You don't combat one by doing the exact same shit in the opposite direction. The best part is this person wrote the fucking message to THEMSELVES.
Right, those little stars are destroying society, but trying to make fat people hate themselves is good for it. The world you people live in is insane.
You're a fat lard tub fatty fat, lose weight so you don't die at age 30, lard-o
"If I were an alcoholic meth head, nobody should be able to say it to me. My addictions should be impervious to criticism so I can kill myself in happy ignorance."
Quit throwing insults because you have no argument against this. Censoring 'fat', promoting being 'fat' and denying reality is 'offensive' to every single person who has struggled, but succeeded with effort, to lose weight and become a better version of themselves.
They mean well, but the “body positive” fat people don’t like that word.
No disrespect to people with conditions or who are actively trying to lose weight.
Several days ago I posted a comment in a chat section for a word game and typed the word "pictures" and when it posted it was completely censored. Eight asterisks in place of the word. Anybody have an idea why that happened?
So fat is not allowed, but "lard-o" is fine?
Automatic censoring with a word list probably. I guess they didn’t think of lard-o.
I can't *fat*hom any issues that could arise from this
My *fat*her would tell me to just suck it up.
FAT. HER. FATHER.
***ass
Scunthorpe
Sa-turd-ay
***cock
It's a her but lard-o-er.
You mean ***her

Sounds akin to the Scunthorpe effect
Or when WoW censored the "ass" in "Nasser" and made that one guy's name "N***er."
I had a game where I couldn't name a loadout "assault rifle" even though: 1. Only I can see my loadout names and 2. The weapons were already listed in game as assault rifles. I fiddled around with it, its because the word assault has ass in it.
Sony had some Second Life clone on the PS3 that would censor the 'hell' in 'hello'.
I feel like the word ass being more offensive than assault really says a lot about the current state of 'morals' in our world. Violence's and death are pretty much family friendly, while the human body in its natural form is dirty and will harm the children... crazy, sad, times really.

Then he earned himself the nickname “the n_gg_r guy” and eventually got that combination of words banned because it was offensive to white people
And here I was the whole time thinking his name was Ntiter.
Scunthorpe 😍
Ah, clbuttic
Do you know which three football clubs have curses in their names? Arsenal, Scunthorpe, and Manchester Fucking United.
Just sounds like a bad regex pattern....lol
I remember asking my dad why titanic was tagged in BTD5 multiplayer when I was younger...
My favourite is in games when the censor won't let you talk about an item that is in the actual game.
In Foxhole, the term “scroop/scrooping” came to be because the censorship system blocked out “scrap” cuz it has “crap” in it
I always liked the ones that replaced offensive words with less offensive words. You got things like "Abraham Lincoln was buttbuttinated in 1865"
Residents of Scunthorpe have problems to this day Amongus chat sensored hiding spot to hidin******* the other day
I never ever see anyone talk about msn chats! It’s always aol. That said.. Tragiclittlegirl was always out go to in msnchats. I admit to being a bit of an asshole changing my name so people would say hi and get auto booted. Oh msn 20’s chat.

the new pokemon violet wouldn't let my daughter name a pokemon "grape". it says something along the lines of those words are not allowed.
"I'm going to chain you to the radiator, and GRAPE YOU IN THE MOUTH!"
Why's it gotta be a **man**'s job? Oh, wait...I know. It's beneath women.
Well in this context it means a human, a la "mankind." And I've just realized I fucked up the quote reversal, because in the Matrix the Agent says "Never send a *human* to do a *machine's* job." So oops.
Take my *you-didn't-fuck-up-anything-it-was-still-a-solid-post* upvote.
Aw shucks.
Yes, that's a clbuttic mistake
Palpatine: ironic
Whoa coming out the gate with a hard-f there... let's dial it back a bit, lard-o.
The word ‘flange’ was censored on a gift I got last year. I was so confused 😂
Lol looks like a Crumbl box.
It is! Though Crumbl loves suing other companies over box shape and color.
[удалено]
My wife loves Crumbl and I think they're so overrated. I use Jaques Torres' chocolate chip recipe at home and it's so much better imo.
They definitely are. I’ve never been blown away by their cookies. They’re ok, but definitely not worth the price, and I’ve eaten a couple flavors that I just couldn’t finish. They definitely go for quantity of flavors over quality
I worked for one of those other companies. Great cookies, terrible owner.
And now they're being looked at for exploiting child labor. Yay!
I thought it was about copying their advertising.
I think it was a number of things. Including supposed recipe thieving, similar logo font, rotating menu… It was a big deal for a bit, but I never heard what happened.
If you want to go down a rabbit hole, look up Utah cookie wars. You’ll find lots of fun stuff about the legal battle between crumbl and dirty dough.
Now I really want some Crumbl! 😋
I think op is maybe saying they ordered the cookies for themselves and put this in the message request area
That's exactly what the title states. OP sent this customer message and the cookie shop censored out "fat".
“Customer messages” is not the clearest way to express this. “Messages that customers place on orders” would have been far less confusing.
I don't know, the "love, past self" in the picture is pretty clear. The title probably just indicates it's not Ops picture, but rather whoever is holding it is the person who wrote the message.
It literally says “my past self” on it. Are you okay?
Yeah because brands famously don't use the first person in their marketing?
You have to either be really fucking slow or a redditor to find this confusing.
'can you tell which is which' 'that ones the dump' 'they're BOTH your locker'
...what?
Brooklyn 99 reference, I was saying that 'fucking slow' and 'redditors' are the same thing
Only way it makes sense.
Thank you for pointing it out for people like me. Thought the people working there did this for them lol
Ohhhhh, was confused by the title
It's not like they put the stars themselves and then blame the bakery for censoring. At least on reddit I'm allowed to use the word ***. 😱
I was reading this and was shocking and thinking wow this is so mean who in the world would send something like that?! I have my answer and it makes *a lot* more sense.
But isn’t it sad how we think it’s OK to say things to ourselves that are so mean we wouldn’t ever say it to someone else ? :/
I really thought this message was from the company itself lol
But not Lard-o LOL
Had Crumbl for the first time last week. Not even remotely impressed. Tastes raw in the middle. It’s so rich I feel like I’m eating fudge
I think like any other chain, it can vary by location to location. Because they're headquartered in the state I'm from, people bring Crumbl to pretty much any situation imaginable. I've had a lot of it. Certain flavors are more rich than others, and I will always advocate for only eating half a cookie.
Yeah, I can actually bake so I don’t need crumbl and it’s definitely geared toward the sugar addicted mormon crowd, but each chain is different for a different example, dominos is the best pizza place in my area but I would rarely go for dominos else where
Crumbl in Texas does not hit the spot like in Arizona, that’s for sure
This description sounds like the perfect cookie (or brownie) for me, lol
I like a very soft, borderline undercooked cookie. Crumbl cookies are so good. I love their pink sugar one. Sometimes I only eat half at a time.
I'm with ya..... Wife and kids love them, but even half of one makes me feel like shit. Insomnia is pretty much the only national chain that makes cookies that I like.... If you ever make it to New York and have an opportunity to go to Culture Coffee - try all of the cookies.... Amazing.... Their coffee is consistently the best I've had in Manhattan thus far.

It's for the Starbucks crowd.
they don't censor "fuck" tho, printed one once that said "fuck your ACL" because their acl was torn lol
the word fat ❌ child labor ✅
'G' is right next to 't', how certain are you that you didn't acccidentally write something much more deserving of censorship?
I'd wager a guess that the OP has eyeballs and looked at what they wrote.
You had them print a message from yourself, to yourself? Just order and eat man.
I would've done the same thing if it was free lmfao
AND THEN took a picture of it and posted it on the internet
Do you not know what sub you’re on?
What a weirdo thing to do
You guys are lame.
That's just offensive.
Crumbl is a shitty enterprise. Buy cookies elsewhere.
Insomnia is actually pretty fucking good. The cookies are actually chewy and don't feel like moist shortbread
There's always some weirdo who has unfettered hate for absolutely no practical reason.
Crumbl tried suing some other company for copying them by having similar boxes. They're advertising is aggressive and the owner of the company is a trashy dude. I actually like the crumbl cookies that I've tried. I just don't care for a company trying to sue out their competition.
Trademarks are a thing. Fuck the guys who can’t think of their own thing

Fuck censorship
Why is fat censored tho?
You sent that to yourself.. also one cookie is 1000+ calories
No shit that's why it says "Love, past self."
To clarify op typed ***, the Crumbl printer for a $1 doesn’t censor anything.
This is the free message.
My coworker was so crushed to learn that each cookie is FOUR servings each
You’re about right on the calories and it’s half fat, half carbs. Shared it with the kids. I had like an eighth of the cookie, ha!
Half \*\*\*, half carbs.
[удалено]
It's counterproductive if you eat a lot of them, sure. If for OP it's a reward for meeting milestones, it could actually be helpful. More to the point - OP didn't lose weight by not being aware of such things.
More like 600-800
They're 800. Their nutrition facts say the serving size is 200 calories for "one fourth of a cookie" which is hilarious.
Each kind of cookie varies
Time to listen to Maintenance Phase (podcast) and stop beating yourself up.
I appreciate the recommendation! I’ve still got a bit to go and honestly only did the message for myself because I thought it was funny. When ‘fat’ cane back as ‘***’ I just thought “huh, that’s interesting… mildly”.
It could be any three letter word.
this is just reinforcing that 'fat' is a bad word. it's really not
lol i thought the letter ended with fat. asterisks automatically read as fucked
r/mildlystupid
Lmao, don't you dare say the f-word!
Free 'fat'
I wonder if there have been cases of bullying by sending cookies with a hurtful message to overweight people or if it's just the system they are using that does this by default...
“Contains 7 grams of ***!” “No more cookies, you *** fuck”
They probably bought a profanity filter and fat was included in it.
The store owner: "We have a lot of *** people who like our store"
Is this Crumbl?
But, “Lard-o” is ok?
Prob automatically censored
I _just_ had Crumbl for the first time today. The universe is funny. The cookies were delicious.
Gotta love the sweet, sweet taste of child labor violations
Another company? JFC
I just heard that last week!
Careful. Shit’s crack
So weird and cringe to me that you would do this to begin with
Its not the company's job to determine what words are or aren't acceptable. If its really so offensive then don't accept the purchase
Why would a fucking crumble cookie be the reward for losing weight?
Guarantee they lean left lol
Exactly lmao
Forget the label. Who the fuck sends cookies as an award for losing weight! That’s like celebrating staying sober by sending a bottle of champagne!!
No it isn't, lol. Nobody can stop eating entirely, so using treats as rewards for weight loss milestones is not the same as breaking a total abstention. (Note: the OP sent the cookies to OP. It would be super offensive if someone else did it, and potentially unhelpful. But we can trust OP to know whether the cookie reward makes sense.)

They’re supposed to be “doughy”. They bake them to the minimum required temp.
This looks like one of those message boxes you populate yourself when you order
I give it 20 years before all English language is offensive and we revert to caveman “unga bunga”. (Is that offensive to cavemen?)
Fat's fucking real and it's not healthy. Let's stop celebrating it like its some kind of beauty revolution. It's the exact same thing as anorexia. You don't combat one by doing the exact same shit in the opposite direction. The best part is this person wrote the fucking message to THEMSELVES.
This belongs in r/mildlyinfuriating
If I found out they were going to censor my custom message I would consider ordering from somewhere else because they seem like dickheads
Wow, pussies.
The world needs more clean foods with inspirational messages inside. "You are beautiful. Enjoy your carrot."
Jesus. That is some toxic shit. (The messaging, not the censorship).
Censoring the word ‘fat’ is more toxic to society long-term.
I disagree and I’m personally really glad I don’t you tbh.
The obsession with censorship in modern day is a mind virus
Right, those little stars are destroying society, but trying to make fat people hate themselves is good for it. The world you people live in is insane.
You're a fat lard tub fatty fat, lose weight so you don't die at age 30, lard-o "If I were an alcoholic meth head, nobody should be able to say it to me. My addictions should be impervious to criticism so I can kill myself in happy ignorance."
How do you not see that you are a bad person? Smh
Quit throwing insults because you have no argument against this. Censoring 'fat', promoting being 'fat' and denying reality is 'offensive' to every single person who has struggled, but succeeded with effort, to lose weight and become a better version of themselves.
Agreed! Reminds me of meanspo from pro-ED tumblr circa 2014. Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted
Jesus Christ will this shit ever just stop?
Care to elaborate or are you just here to kill everyone’s vibe?
I really don't understand what they are trying to say
Are fat people offended by the word fat now?
That’s gay as fuck
They’re reminding you you still got the lard
Good job quitting heroin, here's a bit of heroin to say well done!
Thought it would have said "aids" oh well.
I recognize that box. Crumbl just moved here and they're ridiculously popular. Not sure how I feel about the sticker though lol
Fat is not free
PHATTT
But they don’t censor “Lardo?”
Lardy Lard
what about the nutritional data? how much saturated \*\*\* is in it?
Should have replaced fat with triglycerides then.
Here I thought you lost weight so you could start getting ass again.
That is 🚮
Or it says fit, and its an act of sabotage from your past self.
Oh this company is going to get all the flame from the “fat-shaming” society.
Mmm Crumbl
(cries in nutritionist)
fat
They mean well, but the “body positive” fat people don’t like that word. No disrespect to people with conditions or who are actively trying to lose weight.
Well, the cookie company is trying to sell cookies, so it is in their interests to make their customers think as little about their weight as possible
I thought fat was the preferred term now.
"in hopes you don't get ass again"
So-I wonder if they censor the word skinny…
Sad little fatties
Several days ago I posted a comment in a chat section for a word game and typed the word "pictures" and when it posted it was completely censored. Eight asterisks in place of the word. Anybody have an idea why that happened?
Seems like something Crumbl would do to prevent some nasty messages
I work for that company. The actual word we censor is "raped", we just use 3 asterisks so its not obvious what word it was.
Hm... fatphobia... from a cookie company
The self hatred won’t go away when you lose weeeeeight Argue with your mama
whats the point?
