did you google translate that? Cuz um... I wouldn't call the music in grocery stores good. Also, wouldn't you speak in Russian if it was communism?

Du meinst, wir sollten nicht nur auf Russland schauen, wenn wir über Sozialismus sprechen? Das ist wie bei einem Kuchen: es gibt viele Rezepte, aber nicht alle sind gleich süß.

Why? Russia was only one of *many* countries that practiced socialism with an eye towards eventually becoming communist. They just happened to be among the more authoritarian practitioners, and the subject of an insane amount of CIA propaganda.

It's apparently a bot anyway, I shouldn't have interacted.

Also, the cake is in fact a lie brought to you by a bot.

Perhaps you are a bot? The cake is NOT a lie. Not only was there a cake presented in the final cut scene of Portal 1, there was a sphere *that recited the recipe* (which would 100% kill you if you were insane enough to eat it). In portal 2 you saw the remains of dozens of cakes.

Fair

but who showed you the cake? Was it trustworthy?

Cake was shown in a final cutscene that was external to Glados, so within the narrative of Portal 1 it should be considered to exist. And in Portal 2 the remains of the cakes were found in a place Glados itself couldn't go. Also, why would the recipe sphere have a recipe at all if it didn't exist?

Valid questions, but who baked the cakes? Where were those rooms? Sounds more like it was pictures from one of those sad office parties.

All of which GLaDOS would have access to, or just off of the internet. Ya been botted.

Glados totally baked the cakes. That was made clear. But the cakes were rendered as 3D, with the first being part of a dynamic cutscene (the candle flame moved, amongst other things), and the cake remains were part of an interactable environment.
