I think

If a program just got lasered into the User world, with no experience of drinking or eating User food

(only drinking the system’s “liquid energy” and otherwise getting charged on the system’s power)

that program would have the most fuckin voracious sweet tooth

Oh you get all your energy through your mouth? Okay so how do you turn this stuff into power? Lemme research what’s in it… Holy hack this is complicated

Ok but this sugar stuff? glucose, etc… this is what converts to energy most directly for you, right

This is your way of consuming energy. Ok good to know

ALL the candy in the house. ALL the syrup, yes just the syrup don’t bother with the pancakes

I’m supposed to charge myself on about 2000 “calories” of your energy daily. Got it. Buying this extra large milkshake and I’ll be good for the day… AAAAA. Why does my body feel so bad later. I GOT ENOUGH POWER

Energy drink? Yes please – OH HOLY GLITCHING GRIDBUGS THIS IS NOT ENERGY. it is… power-intensive malware that makes you use up all your energy faster and then crash??? Mixed with something that TRICKS you into feeling like you’re getting sugar but you’re not?? I WILL DEREZZ WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THIS

I love all of this 🤣 they so would

Also eventually after an explanation of “spread all your calorie intake over the day, most do it in three doses using foods that will release the energy gradually so you don’t use up your entire store of it in one go”… someone finds out about cake.

They’re skeptical as all hell because it’s not pure sugar, but they try some and it’s??? Good??? Sure processing it’s a little less efficient but. Well. Icing for immediate release energy. Lots of sugar and carbohydrate in the cake itself for storage and use later (because carbs are a slow-release energy source). Healthy sugars (not that they know the difference) in the jam filling. Perfect food item, 10/10. Every meal is cake now.

Also they find out about Lucozade or other glucose-based sports drinks and just. Go absolutely wild. Now THESE are energy drinks 😃😃 you can keep your caffeine fake energy ones, these are much better.
