like a pound of butter at a regular shop is gonna run you at least 7-8$
<midfavila>
at a nicer shop you could pay almost 20$
<kris_>
yeah idk food just isnt here
<kris_>
like isnt expensive
<midfavila>
the highest i've seen is 17.85 for a pound of butter
<midfavila>
"chat is this a recession indicator???"
<kris_>
id say our food is about to get more expensive but we'll see
<kris_>
nothing ever happens or something
<kris_>
the only food that's expensive is shit like mcdonalds because for whatever reason people still buy it
<kris_>
though ive heard mcdonalds in the US puts addictive chemicals in their food
<kris_>
not sure how real that is
<kris_>
back in my day we got addicted to nicotine, not "hamburger" featuring "meat-like substance"
<midfavila>
just wait for all the ~political opponents~ IlLeGaLs to be ~enslaved~ put into ~concentration and labour camps~ care farms
<midfavila>
that'll bring prices down
<kris_>
i cannot wait to pay a horribly dumb amount for basic things because the workers all got put in jail
<midfavila>
enjoy the taste of FREEDOM
<midfavila>
caaaaaaaaaaaw
<midfavila>
eagle
* midfavila
makes machine gun noises
<kris_>
i wonder how big of a farm id need to actually sustain myself
<kris_>
that plus obviously hunting deer and stuff
<midfavila>
very little
<midfavila>
literally just grow potatoes
<kris_>
dude potatoes kick ass
<kris_>
that might be my favorite thing that you can just >grow
<midfavila>
fair
<kris_>
they're so versatile
<midfavila>
potatoes rock
<midfavila>
i'd like carrots more but they go bad so quickly
<midfavila>
:c
<midfavila>
i need to cook with gourds more
<kris_>
carrots taste so bad
<midfavila>
eh i use them in curry
<kris_>
our tomatoes are ok i guess
<midfavila>
carrots, potatoes, onions
<kris_>
at least carrots arent celery
<kris_>
fuck celery
<midfavila>
a little protein
<midfavila>
either lentils, or tofu, or some chicken or pork
<midfavila>
beef is way too expensive now, i can't afford it
<kris_>
people here have just been buying entire cows worth of beef
<kris_>
its cheaper to just buy a whole cow from a slaughter house or whatever compared to buy it at thes tore
<midfavila>
that works great if you have a car and a butcher friend and a freezer, or like twenty people to split the cost with
<midfavila>
i've just accepted i'll be eating out of tins exclusively soon
<midfavila>
i can't even do that though >.>
<midfavila>
spam and shit is super expensive
<midfavila>
a tin of spam is something like 6$
<kris_>
spam?? expensive????
<kris_>
WHAT
<midfavila>
yeah
<kris_>
bro i made a fried spam + pineapple sandwich the other day and in total my sandwich was like 50 cents
<kris_>
add a little more for plain potato chips
<midfavila>
corned beef is like 8-9$
<kris_>
okay yeah that tracks corned beef costs a lot
<midfavila>
it literally used to be poor food
<midfavila>
:c
<kris_>
everyone likes a good reuben man
<midfavila>
i've started eating tinned fish but apparently there's a fucking yikyak trend where these moron upper-class pieces of shit have been buying up tinned fish
<midfavila>
as a "luxury staple"
<midfavila>
and so the last fucking decent source of animal protein is now skyrocketing in price
<midfavila>
I CAN'T EVEN HAVE MY FUCKING SARDINES
<midfavila>
WITHOUT THESE RICH FUCKERS RUINING IT
<midfavila>
>:C
<midfavila>
seething rn
<midfavila>
like you used to be able to get a tin of sardines for maybe, maybe, 25c at most
<midfavila>
usually less
<midfavila>
and now it's like 3-4$
<midfavila>
for the same tin
<midfavila>
this isn't a lot either
<midfavila>
~120g after drainage
<midfavila>
yeah i just checked a 340g tin of spam is 6$
<kris_>
energy drinks are what cost a shit ton now
<kris_>
which directly impacts me
<midfavila>
inb4 shit ton is an extra 50c
<kris_>
nah sometimes i go into the gas station for 1 slim jim and two cans of monster and it's $11
<midfavila>
that's pretty normal here
<kris_>
there sure but that isnt normal here
<midfavila>
but ig that says something
<midfavila>
yeah
<midfavila>
i'm just so fucking angry at how rich people fuck literally everything up
<midfavila>
i was talking with a fren about how rich assholes are ruining bicycles
<midfavila>
the tech was all mostly standardised outside of super high end stuff out of italy and now there's like twenty million different standards for everything and shit is constantly breaking and everyone is marketing to these fucking retired dentists in their mid 50s who shove themselves into sausage casing to scream along at 20km/hr at best
<midfavila>
and it fucks over everyone who actually relies on that stuff because now it's "trendy"
<midfavila>
dogshit economic system
<midfavila>
*god*
<kris_>
idk i still just want an ebike man
<kris_>
zoomies
<midfavila>
ebikes are lame
<midfavila>
just get a scooter
<midfavila>
literally just does what an ebike does but better
<kris_>
but worse you mean
<midfavila>
no, but better
<kris_>
why is scooter better
<midfavila>
if you don't want to exert effort to move, just get a fucking motor vehicle
<midfavila>
seriously
<midfavila>
i'm not even throwing shade at that
<kris_>
i already have a car
<midfavila>
it's just not the right technology
<kris_>
problem is, nobody wants to deal with teaching me to drive
<kris_>
so its been such an agonizingly slow process
<midfavila>
yeah so get a 49cc scooter
<midfavila>
a little vespa or something
<midfavila>
it's fine
<kris_>
i thought about it
<midfavila>
or like a super cub
<midfavila>
they're dirt cheap
<midfavila>
i will permit e-bikes in one and only one capacity
