June 12th, 2025 – “Lava Cakes, Anyone?”

Written by  on June 11, 2025 

Hello Hackers!

This month we are joined by Drakespirit who will be presenting their talk “I had copilot offer up some titles because titles are something I suck at [sic]”:

Can you make lava cakes at home? Yes, but can you make lava cakes at home with only some brownie mix, ice cream and pudding mix? Possibly, but you need an advanced degree in hackery with a reckless disregard for your own safety if you’re going to engineer something of this magnitude. Join us as we take an in depth look at what makes a lava cake a lava cake, and what kinds of gastronomic alchemy we will need to barter with to create a lava cake that’s as much party trick to make as it is to eat.

Bio: Short for biology, of which DrakeSpirit is purported to have. So much biology, more -ology than bio at this point really. They are known for use of -ology where ever possible, and especially when the use of hats is involved. All stalling for time and attempt to pad out the bio not withstanding, there is not much to say. DrakeSpirit is a (mostly) carbon based life whose knowledge base is obscure at best and eclectic at worst. Sneakiest “ah~ha” moment I’m willing to cop to: Figuring out that an oven that can hold a constant 250 temp is perfect for making caramel, and terrible for the diet.

Meeting will be on Discord. If you need an invite, look no further.

Talk starts at 6:12 PM U.S. Central, but feel free to hop in early and chat.
