It is near impossible for a consumer in the US to waste food.

This is because the massive amount of waste that’s produced by grocery stores makes any conversation of consumer waste a moot point.

In this instance, for example, if he didn’t use that Nutella, odds are it would wind up in the dumpster a few weeks later, still completely sealed and untouched by anyone.

A workday was also like 4 hours or less in biblical times though.

The idea that people in the past worked long, grueling hours due to lack of technology is a myth. People had way more free time in those days.

This is just what they’ve publicly released. I’m sure they have even smaller drones.

I only learned about it from the “Well There’s Your Problem” podcast. Can’t believe my school never talked about it. We did hear all about Challenger though as well as a few other disasters where the lesson was “If you cut corners, or take chances, people can DIE”

Ah yes, the people literally smearing shit on the walls were certainly just looking for a nice, civilized argument with their representatives.

I work in a manufacturing company that was owned by the founder for 50 years until about 4 years ago when he retired. He disagreed with a lot of the ideas behind lean manufacturing so we had like 5 years worth of inventory sitting in our warehouse.

When the new management came in, there was a lot of squawking about inefficiency, how wasteful it was to keep so much raw material on the shelf, and how we absolutely needed to sell it off or get rid of it.

Then a funny little thing happened in 2020.

Suddenly, we were the only company in our industry still churning out product. Other companies were calling us, desperate to buy our products or even just our raw material. We saw MASSIVE growth the next two years and came out of the pandemic better than ever. And it was mostly thanks to the old owners view that “Just In Time” manufacturing was BS.

There needs to be a lot more studies on obesity and why it’s gone up so much. I don’t buy the “more sedentary lifestyle” argument. Our mobility hasn’t changed THAT much in the last 50 years, at least not enough to explain the absolutely skyrocketing cases of obesity.

There’s a big link between poverty and obesity. People in poverty tend to be more active due to more physically demanding jobs, so it feels like the cause has to be from cheap food. While a lot of people might immediately look to high fructose corn syrup, I’m not sure it’s that simple. Obesity rates are rising even in places that don’t use HFCS in everything. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some additive or preservative that started to get heavily used in the last few decades that’s had horrible, unintended consequences.

Are you sure about that? With the advances to AI in the last year, something like that seems trivial

Have you not been paying attention to AI over the last year? It can easily go beyond just translating word for word. This isn’t Google Translate anymore.

You mean exactly what the dingus in OP’s post is trying to do?

The real answer is that bathroom scales have god awful precision and accuracy.

When did we switch to that instead of CP?

If Elon Musk did not exist, would SpaceX still exist? You know the answer. The guy is a chud, but he has his place in history.

It’s amazing how all these countries set weak goal

It’s can kicking. Make a promise for something 25 years in the future. Who cares if the country can’t meet it? You’ll likely be out of office or retired by that point. That’s the next person’s problem.

It’s really grocery stores fault. They sell them right next to each other and often have like 8 different brand choices of one but only 1 or 2 of the other which is nestled somewhere inbetween the others.

Are you suggesting there was even the remotest possibility that Ukraine was going to invade Russia? Cuz I’ve heard some dumbass takes, but my God.

I notice none of those are located in the area labeled Russian Federation.

I’m sorry no. Every time someone tries to say “oh well Russia was just pressured by NATO” that’s all they leave it at.

How?

No really, explain. Explain how the only option for Russia was to invade their neighboring country and steal land. What negative effects would Russia be feeling right now if they hadn’t invaded Ukraine?

“Well NATO was pushing up against their borders”

So fucking what?! Just because your country is so shitty that your neighbors choose to ally with someone else is not an excuse to invade them!

So if you’re anti-war, why do you support Russia who started the war and has shown they are adamantly pro-war?

Bank of Canada urges

I’m gonna go with “Bank of Canada doesn’t actually give a shit and just released a boiler plate statement about defacing currency.”
