The Pancake Paradox

The planet is... pretty much screwed, I'd say. Fifteen years ago, the RSLR (rapid sea level rise) event wiped out the Arctic glaciers. and within a year, almost 50 percent of the world's land mass was submerged. A desertified planet, a society in shambles. I was demoted from my job, estranged from my best friend, and my life was going nowhere. In fact, I was saved, by a certain person... ...but forced to take the saviour with my own hands. No, maybe that's not a good idea, maybe I should just make some pancakes. After all, it's theoretically impossible to make the perfect pancake.
