Looks like it's not the same then! I stand corrected.

It's called 'oliebollen' in Belgium and the Netherlands. They also have derivatives with apple inside and some other ones.

Not sure which came first though ( us or be/nl ).

Roasted butter does sound better than the literal translation from dutch ( oil balls ).

Edit: the wiki page references them being invented in the us. The wiki page for the Dutch/Belgian variant mentions Spanish/Portuguese Jews when fleeing the the Netherlands from the Spanish inquisition.

At least I think they're the same as roasted butter

I like the timer and the error icon on a fail. I can't recall how often I think: damn this is taking too long. I should've timed the command

It's kind of like Instagram, but it picks a random moment during the day for you to take a picture. ( When you're awake normally ).

When the app goes off you have 1 minute to take a picture. If you miss it you can't post a picture anymore.

It's a bit of a reaction against the perfect pictures you see everywhere and people having amazing lives all the time. You'll see pictures in your feed from friends/family just chilling in front of tv. Sometimes it'll be nice timing ( oh wow! Just when we're at and other times it'll be when you're having a movie night with your SO.

I say friends/family because AFAIK you need to be friends with somebody to able to see their posts.
