Is that a block of butter or frozen mashed potatoes, I can't tell

there's been a big spike here in the states over the last decade where people have become massively invested in the visual "presentation" of food and it's sharing on social media.

my read is that some take photos of somewhat half-assed meals to poke fun at that trend, or be ironic. because I'll be honest, when I am making something just for myself and cutting a few corners, I don't care how it looks.

I find these sorts of pics funny as hell and appreciate them more than the curated "elevated" ones shared in the unironic foodie genre.

I also don't know exactly what any of that stuff is, but I would totally, excitedly eat all of it so long as it was warm and didn't smell like diarrhea on two turds next to a block of off cheese.
