Have you tried making your sandwiches at home?
Hooray! The ingredients cost 30 dollars and I get to eat sandwichs everyday for a week or watch the ingredients spoil. Wow greatest country in the world.
The ingredients spoil?! Either you don't have a fridge or don't have a clue how to cook. Or maybe turn your fridge temp down?
Lunch meat lasts a month, easy. Cheese? Multiple months. Bread? Depends. 1-day to 2-weeks, forever if frozen.
I get ham slices every trip. Any idea how many things you can do with those?! Fry them for eggs benedict, with melted cheese on a bagel, ham and cheese melt, part of a charcuterie board, 20 different kinds of sandwiches, and more.
All of that only talking about one of the ingredients you have bought. Learn to cook or pay someone a premium to do it for you. That's how it works.
If you save $12 every work day, you save 50%. And you can buy cheaper stuff that lasts longer.
Oh goodie, first world problems. Never get sick of hearing ungrateful privileged people act the most oppressed by their super easiest problems to fix.
sounds like a fucking good time. i love sandwiches.
The avocados keep going bad though
I had this problem. If it helps, avocados keep for a good deal longer in the refrigerator.
This only really works when you're at home.
Then we can afford housing!
Game changer!
well but also just born in time to live the golden age of computer games as a teenager. oh man those gorgeous manuals of 1990-2000 era games
As I read your comment, I could smell the manual, hear the gentle crack as I broke the hymen of a new manual, it's semiglossy pages revealing the secrets of button layouts to me.
Uhhhh phrasing
The joy of using red filters to find keywords to start those games.
The golden age of computer/video game manuals, sure...
But if you think video games have gotten worse overall, then you are playing the wrong games. For one, "indie" games didn't even exist.
indie games didn't even exist indie games did not have to exist. indie game level of passion for the game you are creating was generally the norm back then. once the process is turned into an industrial pipeline you sacrifice aesthetics for output volume.
Have video games gotten worse overall? On average yes. What percentage of the games being produced now can you say is on par with what you would call a creative and good game "back then". We are basically swimming in a sea of garbage and indie games are a reaction to that. That can not, not be a problem but it also does not mean good games still don't exist.
Civ2 manual was probably the biggest book I'd seen as kid apart from Bible
If you're on board with puzzle games and a bit of Souls-adjacent combat, you should check out Tunic. It is very relevant to the thing about manuals, even as a digital-only game
My local sub shop has great sandwiches for $8
Same. People need to stop buying from giant corporations. Everything they sell is cheap shit sold at a ridiculous price now because investors expect a 30% profit margin.
And cups of yogurt go from 25¢ to $1.50 while also going from 8oz to 5.5oz.

6.99 a sub for any sub was the last deal, until I went almost ordered 4 subs and it was fucking $40 still. Somehow $28 worth of subs wound up costing a little over $40. Fuck that shit, those are capriottis prices and id much rather have caps.
I blame Hardee’s normalizing a $6 burger mid 2000’s, oh and greed, a fuck ton of greed.
They couldn't even offer the $6 Burger for $6 longer than a month or so. They were almost immediately $7 or more. They were also supposed to be comparable to a sit-down restaurant burger. Somehow they cost more and are lower quality. It's cheaper to get a burger at Denny's than it is to get a burger at any fast food place these days, and it's a better and bigger burger.
At least where I was, when it came out it was $5 for the 'six-dollar burger', almost immediately after they threw in a bunch of other 'big' burgers. Odd that they tried to makr a 1/3 pound burger seem huge when McDonald's (at least in America) had been offering double quarter pounders for longer than I can remember.
You can still be a middle-aged Tiktok star complaining about the high prices compared to the good old days.
That option remains. Seize it. Dominate the airwaves. Organize a rebellion.

It used to be born just in time to order LSD off the Internet. I am sure this is still somewhat possible.
Yeah you can, you just need XMR instead of BTC and the markets have new names.
And if you were to find this out...
We're not getting rich in this economy may as well do drugs
Saw a canister of alive oil going for almost $50 the other day, tsk
Alive oil comes from the fountain of youth. For a canister that's a great deal!
Rofl good catch
Climate change fucked the harvest, and probally will continue to do so.
Arby's had a five for five roast beef....
I remember getting those big matrices of Arby's coupons like once a week, and they were actually decent.
Used to love me a Big Montana. Back before 99% of fast food turned to shit and went up in price by 10x
They say it's all about the timing.
I really can't wait for TikTok to get shut down because the CCP refuses to sell.
I was amazed a McRib combo is only 8 dollars... ONLY 8 dollars..
And that's still too rich for my blood, fuck you McDonalds, I curse you and mourn that I took the Dollar Menu for granted
Who tf pays $15 for a sandwich? Y'all motherfuckers need to learn how to cook.
Literally
Oh yeah apartment rentals/living in a vehicle are known worldwide for their spacious cabinets for pots, pans, cups, dishes, bowls, mugs, knives, forks, spatulas, spoons for eating and cooking, cutting boards, flour, sugar, yeast, oven mitts, thermometers, and sinks to clean up and counter space to cook and dry all that is needed for "learning to cook."
Happy Thanksgiving.
Yeah y'all need to learn how to be self-sufficient! Look at the people surviving during the Great depression. That's how we all need to be.
Yes let me just grow all the food I need and raise a cow for milk and a sheep to get wool for making my own clothes on my 4'x8' balcony at my one bedroom apartment.
Not all of us, and I'd argue very few of us proportionally speaking, have all kinds of land to be able to do shit like that. Check your privilege, dude
The average sandwich made of bread, meat, cheese, done vegetables and various condiments goes from 3 to 8 dollars
What kind of sandwiches are those?
Just a constant reminder that gen z home ownership by individuals is up. But who cares, let's be doomers all the time. The economy certainly didn't have any effect on anything important like an election or something.
Up compared to what, where, and by how much?
Millennials and on par with gen X. Also top third as a country.
Economist put together a nice article or you can dig through the omb data. https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2024/04/16/generation-z-is-unprecedentedly-rich
Gen Z is just coming of age, so it makes sense that their home ownership rate is rising.
Data without context is meaningless.
https://www.redfin.com/news/homeownership-rate-by-generation-2023/
undefined
26% of adult Gen Zers owned a home in 2023, little changed from 2022. Meanwhile, the homeownership rate for millennials rose to 55% from 52%, and the rate for Gen X climbed to 72% from 70%. Still, most adult Gen Zers are tracking ahead of where their parents were at the same age. That’s likely because many Gen Z homeowners were able to buy when rates were near record lows.
but what about new home owners? certainly no one can afford them at this prices?
Turns out bloomers trying to gaslit people about how "actually the economy is great!" wasn't an election winning strategy.
Fuck gen z. Millennials have had it way worse and have been beaten to death by the economy since our late teens.
Also it’s mainly mommy and daddy buying them houses.
They didn’t graduate into the worst economy since the Great Depression, and then when they finally regained their footing get the rug pulled out with covid. And the cost of housing quadruple. Nah. In fact wages skyrocketed under covid if they were lucky enough to get a work from home “job”.
Hey, graduating Gen Z here, where are those mythical high-paying remote jobs? Hell, where's somewhere that will actually look at my resume? People that got hired during COVID got laid off and now we're competing with people who have 2-4 years of experience for a junior position, inflation is significantly higher and paying for college and rent didn't exactly get easier. How can you look at the current situation and say we have it easy, just because you also had it rough?
Also it’s mainly mommy and daddy buying them houses.
How else can you afford a down payment? I'm a home owning millennial and I'll happily admit my house down payment was covered in large part by what was left in my college fund. No way I'd just have $50k laying around at age 30, otherwise
And that was ten years ago, when housing was half the price it is today.
This is a super shitty comment you wrote here dude. Gen Z isn't having life handed to them any more than we millennials did. If anything it's worse for them because inequality isn't getting any less striking.
I'm a millennial who has a remote, work from home job, go ahead and shit on my career. Gen Z are our friends and allies in the end, they understand pretty well what we went through and they'll almost certainly go through worse because gestures vaguely at the state and trajectory of everything. The pain Olympics suck and someone's suffering doesn't invalidate yours.
We gotta use the empathy the boomers didn't, we need to be better and not continue generational infighting or the only people who win are the rich.
I demand my right to COMPLAIN! How insensitive of you to infringe upon my right to constant butthurt!
