2 Chainz is releasing an Instagram cookbook, so let’s look through his personal food porn

Prepare yourselves because this is a sentence you never thought you would read: Rapper 2 Chainz is creating an Instagram-based recipe book titled #MEALTIME.

Julia Child is rolling over in her grave crying.

Yes, that’s right, the man behind hits like “Girl You’re Freak” and “I Be Goin’ Hard” is a big time fan of food porn and he’s going to put all that posting to work in his new book. Those who buy the deluxe edition of his upcoming album, B.O.A.T.S II will get a digital copy of #MEALTIME.

Now I know what you’re thinking – actually, no I don’t. I have no idea what I’m even thinking about all this. It defies coherent thought behind “whaaa…?” But if you’re leaning toward the cynical side, I can’t blame you – all I can do is tell you that the menu and photos actually seem legit. According to HipHopDX, 2 Chainz suffers from ulcers and acid reflux and is a health-conscious eater. 

Recipes for Crab Cakes With Mango Salsa, Garlicky Green Beans, and Beer-Steamed Snow Crab Legs are just some of what you can expect to see in #MEALTIME – but feel free to check out what 2 Chainz’s himself is personally eating and Instagramming in the gallery above. Now that I’ve finished this slideshow, I am going to go empty the contents of my refrigerator to try and reproduce brunch a la 2 Chainz.

How to create multiple profiles on a Facebook account

Facebook (and, by extension, Meta) are particular in the way that they allow users to create accounts and interact with their platform. Being the opposite of the typical anonymous service, Facebook sticks to the rule of one account per one person. However, Facebook allows its users to create multiple profiles that are all linked to one main Facebook account.

In much the same way as Japanese philosophy tells us we have three faces — one to show the world, one to show family, and one to show no one but ourselves — these profiles allow us to put a different 'face' out to different aspects or hobbies. One profile can keep tabs on your friends, while another goes hardcore into networking and selling tech on Facebook Marketplace.

Facebook's Feed is designed to recommend content you'd most likely want to see, and it's based on your Facebook activity, your connections, and the level of engagement a given post receives.

But sometimes you just want to see the latest Facebook posts. If that's you, it's important to know that you're not just stuck with Facebook's Feed algorithm. Sorting your Facebook Feed to show the most recent posts is a simple process:
