  • I'm not op - i eat cheap (outside of my going out for lunch at work meals for 10€) but unhealthy. I did a quick estimate based on my cc charges in the last month and I don't think I'm above 250€ a month, while eating out for lunch around 13-15 times a month... I definitely agree that 5€ per meal is a lot.

    Tbh I'm not nutritionally educated enough to know how relevant this actually is, but I was under the impression that some variety of ideally fresh produce would be required for optimally healthy food, and that is what seems to be expensive to me. Otherwise yea, aldi spaghetti for 80 cents and whipping up a sauce without much fat for maybe 5 euros max (high estimate) wouldn't be particularly unhealthy either and last a day, and much like your rice with beans example there are probably many meals like this.

  • Ban use in public in general. I don't want to be forced to walk through a cloud of cigarette smoke in front of a train station or waiting at a traffic light any more than in a restaurant. People can do what they want at home but constantly having to deal with drug addicts polluting the air around me shouldn't be accepted.

  • Tbh eating quality food is simply expensive. It's a thing where i wanna say you could easily save 10€ a day but it'd definitely be less healthy and eating unhealthily is ideally something people shouldn't be forced to do because they're poor.

    Personally I eat out for lunch whenever I'm in the office (3-4 times a week) for 10€ and I spend less than 15€ on food a day. My regular meals at home are like... noodles with store bought pesto where ~4€ feed me an entire day, or frozen pizza which varies from 1-3.5€ per pizza. Though with some effort i could easily make my own pizzas for a similar (or even less if i make my own dough) price and have them be not unhealthy.

    I also find 100€ for electricity to be pretty high (certainly not "very usage conscious") given that I consume around 80kwh a month, and 2 people shouldn't just double that since around a quarter is probably my fridge.

  • There was an article i saw on here a few weeks ago about a study linking microplastics to changes in the brain that have been associated with dementia.

    Mostly we have no idea though.

  • So I don't have to sit on a public toilet of questionable cleanliness. A small bit of splashback from my own piss is preferable.

    The privacy just has never been a concern bc no one is trying to look at other people's dicks while pissing.

  • It's a bit of an inherent issue sadly, if your goal is to multiply money why would you invest in a company whose profits stay the same over one whose go up? And you have no reason to care if the company eventually dies as a result, you just move your money into the next one.

    And most people investing money will be doing so with the only purpose of multiplying that money, as it's mostly banks and similar institutions. In theory if the main investors of a company want it to prioritize user experience over profits, the companies' duty to its shareholders would also be to ensure good user experience. But that's never going to happen.

  • The way carbon offsets currently are made available to people are often a scam. The concept is not (though it would likely be not feasible to offset all carbon everyone produces, so the comic still works bc better than offsetting is not producing in the first place).

    I can for example donate money to restore a local bog, and that will have a very real climate impact.
