    1. Cut the cake into portions equal to the number of attendees. Maybe a couple more if you want to save a few slices. Everyone gets to enjoy cake at the party
    2. Grab a fork, and eat it alone. At a party. All the attendees just watch as you gorge yourself on far more cake than one person should consume. Take the rest home and freeze it so you can continue to be the only one to enjoy it

    Capitalists see nothing wrong with option 2.

      I prefer option 3: Everyone brings some cake to the party, and everyone gets to enjoy the variety of flavors, because we all pooled resources.

          The sheer fucking amount of cake that would be leftover at the end would make me sick.

          I mean, I’d eat it all, so therefore, I’d get sick.

          But most people usually bring too much to a potluck, and with cake it would likely be even more. So much leftover cake.

          I used to do potluck pie parties, because people are happy to go savory with pie. Chicken pot pie, tamale pie, beef and onion, etc. It’s all about tasty with a crust.

          I’ve been to a few low budget weddings that did this. It was awesome. No $10K dinner bill for the newly weds, just a shit ton of homemade desserts.

          A panluck? God, I would be so in. And you could really get experimental with the cake if you knew it wasn’t the only one there.

        Or option 4: everyone brings some ingredients, or skills, and we all bake varying cakes which are then enjoyed by all, because it’s a cooperating group that doesn’t give one asshole all the cake that’s baked.

        Pfftt, amateur hour. You’re not a real capitalist success story until you’ve hoarded enough wealth to afford hiring a poor person to do your fork-stabbing for you.

        Capitalist version:

        CUT MY CAKE IN NO PIECES

        THIS IS MY SOLO TORTE

        IT’S JUST FOR MY

        OWN EATING

        DON’T GIVE A FUCK IF IT MEANS THAT I’M GREEDY

          Cut my cake into pieces
          I’ve eaten my solo tort
          All for me, no sharing Oh did you think I’d be sharing?
          Do you even care if I die eating?
          It would be right, it’s always right
          To hog the cake to myself
          Let the proles eat what they might
          All the cake is out of sight
          And I’m contemplating a second plate

          Cuz I’m eating my cake, Eating my cake
          No one else is eating my cake
          Eating my cake, eating my cake
          No one else even needs a plate

      Of course each attendee in scenario 2 will give you two cookies for participating.
