I'm getting too fucking old, the fucking etymology on this is hurting my brain. I guess I grasp the concept, but wtf does a cake have to do with it. Why can't you just say you find someone oddly attractive or w/e.

The "cake" is a literal cake, and the concept is printed pictures on sticks or straws that you put into the cake as you mention or explain the unconventional person. It's just a "viral" online trend, a random fun thing friends do.

I think they meant "hear me out" crush

It's a meme apparently. NerdyShades has the answer, but if you Google "hear me out cake", Forbes has an article about it.

We're all officially old!

I shouldn't be surprised. This seems normal by "skibidi toilet" standards.

How old are you? Beef cake has been used to describe an attractive muscular male body for decades. Not that far-fetched to see the connection.

I feel like it might have been a typo of "case."

[-] bilb@lem.monster 10 points 1 month ago

Or maybe "take?" But yeah, "cake" being there briefly made me feel insane.

Yeh it was eye opening how far I have drifted from the zeitgeist when I had to decode so much additional context to even be able to parse the sentence let alone see the humour of it. Feelsbadman
