Whoops 🤭

The majority of brands are involved in a scheme where their products lead to more consumption of another product.

Deodorant makes your armpits smell worse, needing to use more soap and continue to use deodorant.

Shampoo makes your hair need conditioner, and needs more products to look nice again needing to wash more frequently…

Soda makes you hungry and don’t rehydrate, snacks make you thirsty and aren’t satiating.

Food isn’t nourishing, take these vitamins.

Clothing is getting made from materials that hold onto smells and wear more from washing, needing to be washed more often and washer needing repairs and buying new clothes.

Apps need more resources so you need the new phone to run them.

42 is the optimum human tribe size imo

I’ve had egg and pineapple but not on the same burger. I’m really not sure how I’d like the taste but there’s something aesthetically pleasing about the egg yolk and pineapple ring fitting together.

Look, underclocking (so next upgrade is just over clocking) the users PCs and stealing a little RAM for the Admin PC discreetly is the only way to get their new gaming rig test server and other work environment tools approved by finance

And then carpet the floor. Between the two, guests probably won’t stay long past the first bathroom break.

I’ve watched documentaries where they touched on it. I don’t think it’s a crackpot theory at all.

I used to have a friend that gardened (tbh it was weed) and he did a lot with mixing nutrients for his babies, commercial fertilizer doesn’t put nutrition back into the soil or the plants in ways we can benefit. They’re only designed to benefit the plants in ways that are profitable for them.

The most satisfying food I’ve had came from my relatives gardens that had healthy compost piles. On our own, my parents used chemical fertilizers and the results were lacking.

Real phone in my bag hotspotting for a burner I pull out in public is how I did things when I was paranoid.

I remember 50% vegetables, 30% carbs, 15% protein, 5% other from somewhere.

Another place (especially USA) we’re falling down is snacking foods, like prepackaged chips. They’re designed to make you consume more while not providing anything of value to our diets. And not so surprising, the wanting to snack constantly goes away when I’m able to cook and consume food made with real whole ingredients. Even jarred sauces or canned vegetables are lacking /something/ vital.

Frozen veg and a bag of potatoes has become a cornerstone of my cooking.

Certain produce like tomatoes I try to buy the multicolored heritage versions. Even produce is suffering from enshitification with the modern versions losing flavor and nutrition in favor of appearance, shelf life, ship ability, etc.

Anyway, I went on a high rambling rant. Sorry, I’ll go hit my pipe again before i start some aluminum origami

I used to love eyebuydirect, especially the replacement warranty. But their quality is lower and needs the warranty while Zenni is less expensive for higher quality 😁

The lather isn’t what gets you clean anyway, they even add stuff to make the detergents lather more because of the perception that it gets you cleaner. Any lather at all with a proper soap says you’re using enough soap to get clean.

Fair 😂 I focused on easy/low prep and availability in Germany which brought me to the german deli/bakery I used to go.

Charcuterie plates

Cold cuts, cheeses, fresh/dried fruit, vegetables/pickled vegetables, bread/crackers, etc.

Make whatever plate combination you’re in the mood for from a variety selection, i like to stock about 3 options from each category to feel like I have choices

I don’t even have a down vote button anymore and I low-key like it.

I would have chosen THRPI to make the lines match up :3

I don’t work in tech but literally just put stickers and opensuse on a refurbished Thinkpad I bought a few days ago 🫡

Pot Roast

• beef/pork roast preferred
• potatoes
• carrots
• celery
• onion
• radish
• seasoning packet/stock & seasonings

I rarely have all of the ingredients, and proportions depend on what’s on hand.

I could probably just say assorted root vegetables as one ingredient honestly.

People argue too much about definitions instead of just asking the other party to clarify when they’re using a slightly different definition.

Context is also very important.

Reclaim all you want, while respecting people’s boundaries.
