so imagine you're making ratatouille and you don't like tomatoes. you don't like the taste, the texture, the putting them in water and the peeling them-- ugh! so you say to yourself "lookit, this whole dish is nothing but vegetables, so what does it matter if i leave the tomatoes out?" a seemingly innocuous decision on the surface, but 2 hours or whatever later when you're done cooking, you open the oven to find a complete mess! just a pot full of baked vegetables, none of them congealed or somehow unified. what happened to your beloved ratatouille?! so you take to google and find that the tomatoes are an essential ingredient of ratatouille, as they forma a "sauce" of a certain kind that makes the whole thing work. and so a seemingly innocent decision has destroyed the very foundation of the established order with disturbing ramifications towards the whole. in this essay i will examine how martin luther's 95 theses lead to protestants being more boring than catholics.

why that analogy in particular
WHY WOULD YOU MAKE ME IMAGINE RUINING A PERFECTLY FINE RATATOUILLE

... I'm not sure what it says about me that I'd still read that hypothetical essay though

yet
although in the above thread i am kinda curious what would happen if you used blood. it looks like tomatoes but it doesnt have the right consistency so i don't think it would work...but perhaps it'd be a good meal for vampires?
ANYWAYS if you liked it, now you can continue writing the essay yourself! be the change you wish to see in the world!

Yeah, the consistency would probably be all off, but now I'm going to actually wonder about that. This may call for potentially questionable internet searches.
Pfft, okay, no, I don't do essays outside of required ones for class, but this might persuade me to fall into the rabbit hole of research for a little while.
