In case this is serious, this move isn't a bad one. This sub has become the "is this cooked?" subreddit instead of the post-processing subreddit

So what? I’m old and even I know this is like the most common word young people are saying these days

Ok, no offense, but your age is showing.

Overcooked / Cooked in this subreddit just means that the sliders were pushed too far to the right.

Cooked (the slang word) is not being commonly used in this subreddit.

Edit: I'm gonna put some receipts in here. I ordered the posts in this subreddit from the top month by most upvoted. I came across all these posts while scrolling down for a bit before I encountered a second post using cooked in the slang sense (there was only one singular case using it as slang at over 1k upvotes)

Some people in this thread seem to think the issue being addressed is the slang word. It is not. It is using the words cooked/overcooked in the post processing sense.

And a bonus thread from two days ago complaining about cooked/overcooked in the post-processing sense just in case anyone still thinks the slang word is the issue:

Yeah, so? Not wrong to point it out. Words can have different meanings and understanding those differences is important.

If I insisted there was no difference between cooking (culinary) and cooking (post processing), everyone would think I'm crazy.

There is a difference between cooked (slang) and cooked/overcooked (post processing) and not understanding that doesn't make it untrue.
