3* "Your cookies are rewriting the fundamental laws of the Universe". The buildings before the cookies start rewriting are fairly mundane if excessive: farms, factories, mines, and grandmothers. After this happens, you get a FantasyKitchenSink to bake cookies with, and can make cookies using interstellar travel, alchemy, inter''dimensional'' travel, time travel, antimatter-to-matter conversion, light-to-matter conversion, you name it. The cookies rewrote the laws of the Universe to make all this possible. This also explains why every scientific advancement is used just for making cookies-the cookies are the ones making them.
4** Then again, MINING cookies and GROWING cookies are ridiculous already.
5** A recent update features Chancemakers, which ''materialise cookies from nothing out of sheer probability.''
6** With the 2.019 update, now the cookies can access the ''the very code used to make the game itself'' to make more cookies.
7** if that wasn't ridiculous enough, the 2.052 update allows you to buy YOURSELF (clones of you anyways) to produce even more cookies.
8* When buying the "Season Switcher" upgrade, five cookies appear as upgrades; one for Halloween, one for Christmas, one for Valentine's Day, one for Easter, and one for Business Day. The latter is called "Fool's biscuit", for two reasons: First, it's the April Fools cookie. Second, unlike the other season cookies, which allow the player to get many new upgrades, the Business Day cookie will not allow you to unlock anything; therefore, it's pointless, and if you buy it, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin you are a fool]]. The game itself says such.
9** Beta version 1.9 adds a prestige upgrade that makes golden cookies more frequent during Business Day, making the fool's biscuit a [[LethalJokeItem much less foolish purchase]].
10* Remember how '''Grannies''' mutate into these nightmarish monsters during the "Grandmapocalypse"? Well, that's because they're turning into '''[[{{Pun}} Elder]]'''[[EldritchAbomination itch Abominations]]!
11* You know how your buildings and upgrades get ludicrously more expensive as you progress into the game? Yeah, it's simply because having trillions and trillions of cookies produced EVERY SECOND simply causes a massive inflation. It's about as profitable as trying to sell dirt nowadays. Especially since they've been turned into a currency people get PAID in.

15* Even without the Grandmapocalypse, you have things such as a time machine that steals cookies from the past, cookies becoming such SeriousBusiness that they become the lifeblood of the world economy and showing allergic reactions to them brands you as a social outcast, devices that convert antimatter into cookies, and producing so many cookies that every last molecule in the universe turns into cookies!
16* All of these horrible and creepy things happen ''[[{{Greed}} just so you can build a massive cookie empire.]]'' When you snap out of it, you will most likely never eat cookies or approach elderly women (''especially'' your own grandmothers, if any) again for a long time.
17** Also, the Elder Gods are still seeing the Player as an interdimensional criminal. They are likely to sacrifice themselves to the Elder Gods immediately and allow them to completely erase them from existence. And this is IF THEY EVER SNAP OUT OF IT AT ALL. That is not likely to happen, ever.
18* The fact that ancient baking artifacts are discovered on distant planets. The terrifying implications are that ''[[EvilerThanThou something made the Grandmatriarches in all their creepiness]]'' '''[[EvenEvilHasStandards leave]]''' before you called them back.
19** Which begs the question; ''what the hell could be '''worse''' than them?!''
20* The Ascension system, which lets you [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascend to a heavenly plane]] to buy special upgrades before returning to the mortal world. Given how the planet was transformed into a CrapsaccharineWorld during your lifetime, the inhabitants probably felt relieved that the power-hungry cookie magnate that ruined the world finally died and they could begin recovery efforts. ''Nope''. You come right back, more powerful before, to re-do the whole nightmare all over again. And you do this ''multiple times''.
21** Some of the heavenly upgrades involve celestial beings boosting your CPS while the game is closed. Given how power-hungry and greedy you were during your lifetime, only demons would be willing to help you out, right? Wrong. Angelic beings, including '''{{God}}''' Himself, help you out in that area as well. Which begs the question: How [[GodAndSatanAreBothJerks messed up are the heavenly beings]] if such a greedy, callous human being can get their assistance?
22*** Remember, the Player Character has managed to turn all the molecules in the universe to cookie dough. It’s entirely possible that a being that powerful could brainwash angels into helping them, no matter how evil the being was.
