How do we know it's a jam doughnut? What if it's a custard doughnut?

[–] afb@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Reddish tint around the mouth suggests jam IMO

Can I check which country you think the previous post was about?

Only bat-shaped gummies, i'm afraid.

Krapfen are the traditional snack in the time called "Fasching"/Shrovetide, which starts on 11.11. on 11:11am, and lasts until "Faschingsdienstag"/Shrove Tuesday.

Is this how COVID-19 started?

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 3 points 1 month ago

It was freshly made, so they couldn't help but take a whiff of that delicious smell. The rest is history.

Do you want a pandemic?

Because that’s how you get a pandemic.
