Are you out of points? Are you sick of cooking for yourself? Do you just hate food right now? Well, then you should visit HowToBasic, a gritty document of one (apparently Australian?) man’s struggle to learn how to cook with his left hand while holding a camera with his right.

HowToBasic often veers even further than that venerable channel into the territory of the surreal. At one point, an egg is inserted inside a raw, whole chicken, and the chicken then mysteriously appears inside a toilet. This dreamlike lack of continuity betrays a sense of wonder about conscious existence, and the senseless ruining of food betrays just as strong an indifference to the fact that butternut squash (which the uploader calls a “pumpkin” in the video “How to Make Creamy Pumpkin Soup”) is probably air-freighted to Australia at great expense just so the video’s mysterious pair of hands can engage in some kind of fecal play with it.
