> Only Based cooking.
Can someone shed light on what "based cooking" is? It's rather tricky to Google for and am unable to figure out what the site's author means by that.

The owner of this website is one such person; the use of "based" is meant to be a (not so) subtle nod to his knowing audience.
For example: anarcho-monarchism is based. It's a ridiculous ideology, and I wouldn't support it, but it'd be cool to meet someone who actually believes in it.
I think it was something with Lil Wayne a long time ago.
Most slang I can suss out but I don’t think I ever had any idea what it meant to be based then or now.
Grounded?
“Should we split this out into microservices?” “Only when we’ve identified an acute need for the increased complexity in our architecture.” “Based thinking”
To be based is to have a certain effortless confident, self-assured fearless character and disposition towards the world. Someone who's based doesn't care if what they say is controversial, because they're too cool to care, but they won't say controversial things for the sake of it- attention-seeking is cringe, it's the act of a weakling who has to scramble for whatever power he can filch off others. The Based one simply says what he believes to be true when he wills, irrespective of social norms. He could pretend, but has no need for pretense, because he does not fear reprisal.
Being red-pilled is something else; it's a certain kind of enlightenment, a disturbing revelation about the nature of the world. When you take the red pill, you're throwing aside comforting lies and confronting the hidden/evil truth.
What exactly that enlightenment is varies from subculture to subculture- the imagery of the red pill has been used by lots of people, and there's a whole range of pills now; the bluepilled are normal people who still accept the lie, blackpilled people are redpillers who have fallen into despair and hopelessness (where it's implied that the red pill usually implies a call to action, the black pill implies apathy- 'just let it all burn', and blackpillers view redpillers as naive in their desire towards action, which will be pointless at best and counterproductive at worst), the white pill which is a hopeful rejoinder to the black pill, the iron pill which says you should work out more...
A lot of these pills act as revelations to previous revelations that recontextualize the previous pill's lessons and worldview, and in the face of all this uncertainty and flux, you can imagine there's a lot of anxiety.
This is where 'based and redpilled' comes in. The based attitude quenches the neurotic anxiety of the pill-seeker's revelation, while the information in the revelation itself- paired with the confidence, self-assurence, and courage to act on it- lets the Based and Redpilled avoid the pitfalls others fall into, and stride forth as more than their peers, as the union of chad and virgin, as the guy who says the n-word on twitter and doesn't get fired because he's his own boss.
Honey Boo Boo is not based.
If you are worried about whether you are cool, you aren't.
I do understand words have multiple meanings and people interpret things differently. I'm willing to accept that other people interpret 'based' as 'cool', but that is not what the word means to me, or to a lot of other people, I'm sure.
As far as I can tell from on the usage of based I've seen, it means cringe/unpleasant/racist (depending on context).
Again, you need to separate your feelings about the things being described as “based” with the meaning intended by the people using the word. If I hate hippies and think anything they call “groovy” is really ugly and uncool, that doesn’t mean I get to just declare that “groovy means ugly and uncool”. That’s what you’re doing.
Similarly, “based” is used to mean the opposite of “cringe”. It just so happens that most “based” content is what others might call cringe; the video I posted above is satire of exactly this. However, it doesn’t change the meaning of the word, and in fact the joke falls apart if you redefine it this way.
Words have multiple meanings. Clearly based is one of them.
An example would be:
"I think you should be able to shoot sales people for ringing your doorbell"
"Based"
But what online subculture? A cringe subculture? Isn't something that is positive to a cringe subculture cringe to everyone else?
Then again, there have been based vegetarians! So go and contribute your recipes!

> Being "redpilled" means you've come to accept some reality that differs from the mainstream interpretation, but is the factual and correct one. This can range from more serious issues ("there are only two genders") to more shitposty/comedic ones ("The Room is a cinematic masterpiece"). Whereas "bluepilled" is the opposite--you failed to understand the true reality of things and are stuck believing a false idea.
> Redpill and Bluepill are just another way of saying "My personal opinion is objective fact and what you think is objectively wrong"
It still seems like an odd adjective ('objectively correct') for cooking though, to me.
"The quality of having an opinion without regard for what other people think, often a controversial opinion but not always."
In this context, not having ads or unnecesary javascript is based.
