These parents failed their kids. I have been cooking for myself since I was tall enough to get to the top of the oven. It's just showing how useless they are at everything else. If you can't follow basic instructions to cook food you probably cant do that in a office job either.

From the post:

>Nearly two thirds of Gen Z adults admit they lack basic cooking skills - with around 61 per cent of those surveyed saying they do not know how to cook an omelette. A study by dating app FindingTheOne has revealed that young adults aged between 18 and 28 prefer eating at a restaurant or takeaway because they do not know how to cook. The poll surveyed 1,500 participants across different age groups and showed a growing number of young people who are useless in the kitchen. Nearly 64 per cent of Gen Z respondents said they prefer dining out because they 'can't cook'.

If your omelet has only one ingredient, your not doing it right either. An omelet needs at a minimum a punch of salt and some cheese and to be gently fried in butter.

My omelet typically also includes pepper, finely cut spring onion, tomato and ham as well a a clove or two of black garlic and optionally some jalepinos.

Yeah, honestly I don't really consider it an omelet if its just egg. Who does that? Also, imagine the phycological breakdown they would have trying to add other things to a dish that they already feel too overwhelmed and stressed out to make.

I mean, come on. This is what the short form content / social media has done to these people. Having to pay attention to something for more than 30 seconds is stressful for them.

Unfortunately I've witnessed 20+ year old zoomers being unable to fry eggs or even grill sausages. Not only unable, but unwilling to learn. Not all are like this, some are extremely smart and competent, but their generation indeed might be worse than millennials when it comes to average.

It's 100% parents faul, they had no interest in raising kids so they outsourced parenting to reddit.

That is so very depressing. I actually enjoy cooking sometimes. I don't understand why people think its so damn hard. You just follow the instructions in the recipe exactly for anything you have never made then if you want it to be different, you alter it over time and record your changes. It's not rocket science.

You probably could get them to do it if you convince them if they make tiktok videos of "zero to chef" that they will get viral/famous even if they never really learn how to cook well.

I like cooking too, and you can call yourself a man if you can't cook. Every man should strive to self sufficiency.

I don't understand men that say "I don't cook" or "I don't clean". Well, do you just eat goyslop and live in a shithole?

Even married men should be doing those things. Teamwork is important. According to "the internet" women really dig men that know how to cook and their houses/apartments don't smell like a old gym bag.

Something stupid simple I make are sandwiches since I lived off of mostly that for a long, long time. My wife claims that I make them better than anyone. She might just be sweet but she claims that making it even how I have shown her they still are not as good. It's a simple thing and if it makes us both happy then why the hell not?

Thus why people make a lot of money driving for Uber eats and Grubhub.

Oh! I forgot the incredible sorry state of most restaurants. These places suck! They cater to the same people.

I see more and more places like restaurants employing pakis and similar illegal aliens as cooks and delivery drivers and often wonder how people trust these places to eat or have them deliver food at their home.

This deserves much more attention than it looks. There are more stuff similar to this, but cooking is a skill of high importance. No, "50% can't find ___ on a map" but something to be used in everyday life.

Just reading the stats are shocking.

To be fair, that egg looks way better than any egg I've ever cooked. Sad.

Imagine what their grilled cheese sandwiches look like.

I think that statistics failed to examine the ratio of men and women in those numbers.

I make an omelette for myself literally every day that I have eggs. Fucking idiots.
