I'm getting too fucking old, the fucking etymology on this is hurting my brain. I guess I grasp the concept, but wtf does a cake have to do with it. Why can't you just say you find someone oddly attractive or w/e.
The "cake" is a literal cake, and the concept is printed pictures on sticks or straws that you put into the cake as you mention or explain the unconventional person. It's just a "viral" online trend, a random fun thing friends do.
That sounds terribly inefficient.
It's for content. Not for coherence.
'Mum, I've got something really important but slightly complicated to tell you. Give me three days to do some shopping, design some graphics and build accessories with them on, then bake a cake 👍'
And tasty.
I think they meant "hear me out" crush
It's a meme apparently. NerdyShades has the answer, but if you Google "hear me out cake", Forbes has an article about it.
We're all officially old!
I shouldn't be surprised. This seems normal by "skibidi toilet" standards.
How old are you? Beef cake has been used to describe an attractive muscular male body for decades. Not that far-fetched to see the connection.
I feel like it might have been a typo of "case."
Or maybe "take?" But yeah, "cake" being there briefly made me feel insane.
