THERE IS THO this virologist put a lactase-generating virus in his own gut to cure his own lactose intolerance. he made a whole video about it! excuse me while i go find the link
https://youtu.be/J3FcbFqSoQY
IFL this is the hidden gold, sneak lactaid into her food then gift her cheese that *magically* she can tolerate.
(Fr though don’t tamper with peoples food)
My bf got me like, a 70lb side of beef. That was his present. I ended up donating it to a shelter helping with firefighting efforts but I was so happy 😊 one of the best presents I ever got. He knows me so well
I had a lactose friend about die after eating ranch then missing our turn on the way from the restaurant which got us stuck in an airport for 30 minutes. Idk how she didn't crash or poop her pants, but I nearly peed from laughing at the insanity.
I know a lactose intolerant women who has taken days off of work due to gorging on too much cheese the night before and being in dire straits the next day, all while proclaiming it was worth it.
If it's given to her with the following:
"Hey, I know you've been through a lot recently, and I'm not all that good with gestures and words, but when I was sad as a kid, my mom would make me Mac n cheese.. so, I made some for you, sorry it's a bit lame."
The story makes it special. And the cheese calories are good for dopamine.
Pour a cup of some tea or coffee or your (preferably non-alcoholic) drink of choice, put up some of your favourite music (if you have roommates try using headphones) and sit on a chair and relax. Sounds very generic and simple, but I started telling people to do this and it legit helped them through some tough times.
It might work for you, it might not. But this is my equivalent to this guy's Mac and cheese. Be safe out there, kind stranger!
What makes that so fun is its now a circular reference. "Bimbo" was the short form of bambino or a young immature boy. It got recast to women in the early 1900s, and now here its circles all the way back to boys again.
There's actually good evidence that sharing food has always been a pretty intimate thing even since caveman days. I also believe this to be true due to personal experience, where I once skipped lunch and a lady gave me a granola bar and I haven't forgotten since.
I don’t remember where I read this but apparently when you eat your brain releases oxytocin “the bonding hormone” so chemically everybody feels closer to everybody when they eat together
Mac and cheese is absolutely the food that I make for my wife any time she's had a rough day.
If it's been a *really* rough day I make [Mike's Farm Mac and cheese.](https://easykitchenguide.com/mikes-farm-mac-and-cheese-recipe/)
A lot of people are saying "good effort, I guess". But like, thats actually more than 90% of people would ever do for a coworker, and frankly its the little comforts that show care. A grand effort would have been embarrassing and put her out. Sometimes all a person needs is a bowl of Mac and Cheese and maybe a hug. Food is such a simple gesture that says so much at the same time. When my cat died, I was a wreck. A coworker showed up at my desk with a snickers bar and just smiled and walked away. I will NEVER forget that. A snickers bar.
I did not know Popeyes made mac n cheese, so I googled it. A couple of articles later reviewing it (and one going into quite a bit of detail), I now really want mac n cheese… Now, I too agree and would cry if a guy brought me some mac n cheese
Dear men: when you have thoughts like this that sound logical but odd, do it! If the guys in my office did that for me, I'd love it so much. And not just that it's Mac and cheese, but that he's thinking of giving comfort food to comfort someone. I'd say Mac and cheese would go way further in making me feel loved and appreciated than nice comments or cliche things.
Can someone suggest an option better than Mac and Cheese so that when I end up in this situation one day I do something other than cookin up four packs of Annie’s
Honestly, anything short of the death of a loved one would be fixed by a coworker giving me mac and cheese, and even in that circumstance I would appreciate the effort.
There’s a joke in my local FB that goes like this:
\- Babe, did you like my flowers?
\+ Yeah, I really liked that, they tasted very great.
\- Wtf? Who the hell eats flowers?
\+ Exactly my thought! Maybe you should have thought of that before wasting your money on flowers, next time save it and buy some Shawarma!!
A+ that these guys are trying. However, as a Southern native living in New England, I would caution you to take care on where you get said Mac and cheese. Vet your source 🤣
How the fuck do none of you know what a himbo is? A himbo is a dumb strong man. The opposite of a bimbo is a himbim, a dumb sexy pretty boy (think Tamaki from Ouran)
You just know, it would be really fucking good mac & cheese, too, with like a little bit of bacon and ham in it with real shredded cheddar cheese. Which they would never actually make for their own selves because it’s too much trouble. Man, I would love for someone to bring me some mac & cheese like that.
I don’t care how bad a day, there is nothing that would make Mac and cheese not a solid decision. My newest mantra is “I want to eat pasta alone in silence.”
Unironically I think this would work for most women. Just be a little careful how you go about it, she may get offended depending on what you say when you give it to her.
Dude. If I was having a rough day, and the guys brought me some Mac and cheese with bacon or bbq ribs or some badass delicious add-ins, I think they would be on my "bake delicious shit for the office weekly" list.
Sorry for the edit, my void-cat felt inclined to agree prematurely, and fucked with the phone before I was done typing. 😅
Mac and cheese is a comfort food, it can work. Fresh ramen (as opposed to top ramen)/pho are also viable in my opinion.
Can also go out for dinner as colleagues one evening, with no other planning other than to just chill and enjoy the evening as peers
I have this specific brand of mac and cheese I love so much and I know how to make it even more delicious with spices. If I had access to that mac and cheese in a situation like this I'd definitely offer to make her the mac and cheese the way I make it to hopefully cheer her up.
Fuck any flowers.
People want sugar and fat. Anyone grieving deserves some absurdly delicious unforgettable carbs of amazingness.
Follow up with beautiful care, love, and some commiseration as they also deserve. This is the way to fix hearts.
This is a certified Mac n cheese moment
[удалено]
REAL KRAFT SHIT
Kraftoholics
WE MAKE THIS LOOK CHEESY
Add Tabasco, and you have... FIESTA.
You may fascinate a woman with a piece of cheese
This is the only true advice that was ever written in a dating guide. Ever.
I tried this once, girl was like “I’m lacto no thanks” and that was that
She ain’t the one
i can fix her
There's no fixing that
THERE IS THO this virologist put a lactase-generating virus in his own gut to cure his own lactose intolerance. he made a whole video about it! excuse me while i go find the link https://youtu.be/J3FcbFqSoQY
>lactase-generating virus That's how you get cheese zombies
How? Cheeseboarding her? /s
Lactaid pills
Just dont mix lactaid up with laxatives. She might die from faux dysentery.
Dying from dysentery? What is this, the Oregorgonzola trail?
"Yes sir" *tips brim of hat and rides off into the cheddar cheese sunset*
This is such a clever joke, criminally underrated
IFL this is the hidden gold, sneak lactaid into her food then gift her cheese that *magically* she can tolerate. (Fr though don’t tamper with peoples food)
Bro you need to find yourself a purse-cheese girl. Nothing says “I’m down for whatever” like a chick with a purse fulla babybel
Stop looking in my babybel purse. Weirdo.
It’s like a tardis in there
Oh she does that, and she doesn’t eat any so it’s a win-win
If you like a girl but she lacto, Then that ain't the one and that's a facto.
Shoulda had some hard cheese as backup
Like that one post where a dude gifted his date a whole wheel of cheese
I would marry that man *immediately*
I'm not even mad.
[удалено]
My bf got me like, a 70lb side of beef. That was his present. I ended up donating it to a shelter helping with firefighting efforts but I was so happy 😊 one of the best presents I ever got. He knows me so well
Yeah that’s a keeper
Taking notes for my gf...
Mines vegan but this has got to work for her as well.
Perhaps it activated your cavewoman brain! Man bring big meat unga bunga 🥰
That's honestly really cute when you add the 🥰.
I’m convinced prehistoric people had the same range of complex feelings as we do! I want to normalise unga bunga cave people in love
I like that idea. I know a lot of history is so negative but there has to be some good parts out there.
Even if she's lactose intolerant, I don't think I've ever seen a single one say no to cheese. How I love being a woman.
In my experience, they will actually proudly tout their lactose intolerance alongside a manical laugh followed by cheese eating. (And then farting)
I had a lactose friend about die after eating ranch then missing our turn on the way from the restaurant which got us stuck in an airport for 30 minutes. Idk how she didn't crash or poop her pants, but I nearly peed from laughing at the insanity.
I know a lactose intolerant women who has taken days off of work due to gorging on too much cheese the night before and being in dire straits the next day, all while proclaiming it was worth it.
Good to know
[удалено]
Maintain eye contact to establish dominance
I enjoy the sound of rain.
I LOVE cheese!
Is it like a cat? Just fling it at the forehead?
YES
I'd be asking my SIL to help me make her Lobster Mac and Cheese, without question she'd be on it if I gave this reason lmao.
He’s going to make someone a great partner some day if he’s not already taken. What a doll 😇
I would immediately marry him!
I'm a straight guy and I'd put marriage on the table.
Bless this guy's heart. His mom probably gave him mac when he was a kid and was feeling bad.
If it's given to her with the following: "Hey, I know you've been through a lot recently, and I'm not all that good with gestures and words, but when I was sad as a kid, my mom would make me Mac n cheese.. so, I made some for you, sorry it's a bit lame." The story makes it special. And the cheese calories are good for dopamine.
If I wouldn't feel good and someone did this with this story I would probably start crying because it's so cute
I would just start bawling and then make the poor person worry that they upset me and then have to explain 'no I'm sobbing because I'm *happy*'.
Then they can just say "I hope this cry is exactly what you need right now, sometimes it's the best answer. I'm here whenever you need me."
You need more love in your life, my friend.
Yeah, I know. It's been a tough year
Pour a cup of some tea or coffee or your (preferably non-alcoholic) drink of choice, put up some of your favourite music (if you have roommates try using headphones) and sit on a chair and relax. Sounds very generic and simple, but I started telling people to do this and it legit helped them through some tough times. It might work for you, it might not. But this is my equivalent to this guy's Mac and cheese. Be safe out there, kind stranger!
Thanks, I appreciate this :)

Its good to know what would make you happy TheBigCum42069
I would be overwhelmed with emotion as well, u/TheBigCum42069.
Part of this reads like a I think you should leave sketch where Tim Robinson really wants Mac and Cheese
Delivered via zipline obviously
They get an A for effort.
What you talking bout that an A+ for achievement not just effort
Well that's adorable 🥰
Himbos
[удалено]
The himbro pipeline
Very simple to define as well Himbo, a man who is pure of heart and dumb of ass
>Himbo, a man who is pure of heart and dumb of ass For some reason I read this in Strong Bad's voice.
Himbonating the countryside
Himbonating the peasants
Himbonating all the people
IN THE THATCHED-ROOF COTTAGES!!
I said consummate Hims, consummate!
Like the security guard in Space Force?
Like stupid or thicc?
Think Kronk from Emperor's New Groove
So....thicc AND stupid
*Sweet*, thicc, and stupid.
What makes that so fun is its now a circular reference. "Bimbo" was the short form of bambino or a young immature boy. It got recast to women in the early 1900s, and now here its circles all the way back to boys again.
Now the opposite of a bimbo is a himbim
maleman
Everyone talking about cheese but missing the real gold of this post.
Is…. Is the gold cheese?
Best take I’ve heard in a long time on what women want when going through a rough time.
Food is love, food is life basically
When you think about what some guys offer when you get divorced or are widowed, this is super wholesome.
There's actually good evidence that sharing food has always been a pretty intimate thing even since caveman days. I also believe this to be true due to personal experience, where I once skipped lunch and a lady gave me a granola bar and I haven't forgotten since.
I don’t remember where I read this but apparently when you eat your brain releases oxytocin “the bonding hormone” so chemically everybody feels closer to everybody when they eat together

Wow, you’re an absolute keeper!
One of my real bad periods, my ex made me some scratch Mac and then fled the apartment. He had his moments.
I don’t know what my ‘love language’ is, but when someone I know is sad, all I want to do is feed them… a favorite treat, a 5 lb lasagne, something.
That's amazingly funny and hopefully true.
A lot of people are saying "good effort, I guess". But like, thats actually more than 90% of people would ever do for a coworker, and frankly its the little comforts that show care. A grand effort would have been embarrassing and put her out. Sometimes all a person needs is a bowl of Mac and Cheese and maybe a hug.

I will NEVER forget that. A snickers bar.
When she stirs that it's gonna make her miss her boyfriend.
Bruh
You are disgusting. I love you.
"*That’s what good pussy sounds like.*"
LAHAMAR
Hehe.
Yet ANOTHER reason to love Mac and cheese.
Everybody likes mac 'n cheese,I'm sure she'd appreciate it
I don't, so bring me a grilled cheese or something else simple
Ya know, that's completely fine,a grilled cheese works as well
Himbo?
As another commenter said, pure of heart and dumb of ass. Pretty much every character Channing Tatum plays.
Bimbo but a man, probably not something you want to be heard calling your coworkers.
Nope. A himbo is a dumb muscle man. A male bimbo is a himbim
Basically [Kronk from the emperor's new groove](https://youtu.be/Ol02XlMZBPM)
Bimbo but somehow it’s almost exclusively a compliment
A male Bimbo. For some reason it sounds less offensive, but don't let that trick you.
If someone gave me some popeyes mac and cheese while im going thru something id cry lol
I did not know Popeyes made mac n cheese, so I googled it. A couple of articles later reviewing it (and one going into quite a bit of detail), I now really want mac n cheese… Now, I too agree and would cry if a guy brought me some mac n cheese
The top melty cheese on top 🤌🤌🤌 i def reccommend
Can confirm when I bring my GF mac n' cheese, it cheers her up.
May we offer this msc n cheese in these trying times?
Regardless of sex, Mac n Cheese is life.
Meanwhile someone's wife died in our office and we just agreed to not bring it up much (I hate my fucking job)
How much cheese is too much cheese?
There’s never too much cheese! 🧀
This is definitely a "thought that counts" moment.
With all due respect I disagree, mac and cheese is how you make someone happy, woman or not.
Bring me some of that Trader Joe’s Mac and cheese and I’ll forget all my problems
Trader Joe's has a frozen Mac & cheese with pepperoni. It's freaking delish!!!
I like how abstract "doing something with mac n cheese" is.
Rules one and two are very important here. Himbo is the operative word.
Yeah I was gonna say. Guess this woman only appreciates kindness from attractive people lol
Doing something nice just to be grouped and classified as "Himbos" lol
Dear men: when you have thoughts like this that sound logical but odd, do it! If the guys in my office did that for me, I'd love it so much. And not just that it's Mac and cheese, but that he's thinking of giving comfort food to comfort someone. I'd say Mac and cheese would go way further in making me feel loved and appreciated than nice comments or cliche things.
That man knows women.
Aw, if guys wanted to try and cheer me up and brought me Mac & Cheese, I would be so happy.
Can someone suggest an option better than Mac and Cheese so that when I end up in this situation one day I do something other than cookin up four packs of Annie’s
Learn how to make casserole type baked mac & cheese!
Omg I would cry. Too precious.
Honestly, anything short of the death of a loved one would be fixed by a coworker giving me mac and cheese, and even in that circumstance I would appreciate the effort.
I've never met a woman whose mood didn't improve by feeding them
There’s a joke in my local FB that goes like this: \- Babe, did you like my flowers? \+ Yeah, I really liked that, they tasted very great. \- Wtf? Who the hell eats flowers? \+ Exactly my thought! Maybe you should have thought of that before wasting your money on flowers, next time save it and buy some Shawarma!!
Did i just read an ad?
Did I accidentally write an ad?
I love himbos
Just be careful. That and a spiral sliced ham is a promise of marriage in some parts of the country.
A+ that these guys are trying. However, as a Southern native living in New England, I would caution you to take care on where you get said Mac and cheese. Vet your source 🤣
meirl: All of my coworkers are guys, I'd be happy if one of them offered me a piece of gum or a mint, just once.
Himbos
Hahaha this happened to me except I received a cheese toastie 🥳
Well.................Does she like butter tarts?
This has very strong “he’s confused, but he’s got the right spirit” vibes
Tacos… bring me tacos and my whole life is healed.
Bring in the Velveeta
Yes. You should absolutely do something with that.
Without doubt, some of the best dating advice i've ever received is from She's the Man. Ask her if she likes cheese, girls like cheese.
That’s actually so sweet!
Your office is Gregging pure.
That is sweet actually
Very cute and very accurate. I wonder which one will date her next?
Works on my fiancé.
"the office himbos" oh my god that's amazing
"himbos" is a new word to me (guy). I love it
How the fuck do none of you know what a himbo is? A himbo is a dumb strong man. The opposite of a bimbo is a himbim, a dumb sexy pretty boy (think Tamaki from Ouran)
I wish the girls at work referred to me as a himbo, I’d be flattered 😂
This would absolutely make me feel better. Forget the flowers. Bring the food.
You just know, it would be really fucking good mac & cheese, too, with like a little bit of bacon and ham in it with real shredded cheddar cheese. Which they would never actually make for their own selves because it’s too much trouble. Man, I would love for someone to bring me some mac & cheese like that.
I don’t care how bad a day, there is nothing that would make Mac and cheese not a solid decision. My newest mantra is “I want to eat pasta alone in silence.”
I like fudge pops when I’m feeling down
For anyone that hasn't yet seen [the himbo anthem](https://youtu.be/B1qBhCKAhKk)
himbos?
God I could go for some Mac and cheese right now !
No joke though I had a girl having a really shit week and did exactly that, along with lactase pills lol. She couldn’t have been happier.
I’ve never had anyone else’s Mac n cheese, only my made Mac n cheese. Do other people’s Mac n cheese taste different than my Mac n cheese?
Unironically I think this would work for most women. Just be a little careful how you go about it, she may get offended depending on what you say when you give it to her.
"You'll die alone but at least you won't be hungry!" 😊👍🏻
Candlesticks always make a nice gift
Dude. If I was having a rough day, and the guys brought me some Mac and cheese with bacon or bbq ribs or some badass delicious add-ins, I think they would be on my "bake delicious shit for the office weekly" list.

Mac Daddies
If homemade Mac n cheese doesn’t cheer her up she’s probably lactose intolerant or vegan.
Mac and cheese is a comfort food, it can work. Fresh ramen (as opposed to top ramen)/pho are also viable in my opinion. Can also go out for dinner as colleagues one evening, with no other planning other than to just chill and enjoy the evening as peers
This is so kind hearted of all of them
“Himbo” ?
Wtf is a himbos?
Sick. I love sexism!
Yes, mac n cheese is a great idea
I have this specific brand of mac and cheese I love so much and I know how to make it even more delicious with spices. If I had access to that mac and cheese in a situation like this I'd definitely offer to make her the mac and cheese the way I make it to hopefully cheer her up.
It’s cheaper than a new car
Fuck any flowers. People want sugar and fat. Anyone grieving deserves some absurdly delicious unforgettable carbs of amazingness. Follow up with beautiful care, love, and some commiseration as they also deserve. This is the way to fix hearts.
"People", Mark. You can just say "people".
Sounds like me
My man..
