No funds? Have you considered refraining from eating as a means of saving money?

If the article matches the clickbait title, fuck anyone involved with it being written and published.

If the article doesn't match the clickbait title, fuck anyone involved with it being written and published for using a clickbait title like that.

If the article is published in the wall street journal, fuck everyone involved with that toilet paper disguised as news organization.

Iโ€™d expect nothing less from Rupert Murdoch's little periodical.

Humans can live without food for up to 2 months, so to save even more money, just eat food every 1 month and 29 days!

frothingfash: "The WEF wants me to own nothing and be happy!"

porky-happy: "You will own nothing and be happy."

frothingfash: "Oh sorry, of course I will own nothing. There is nothing wrong with literally everything being a luxury good. Hell, make me work for free. Porky knows what's good for all of us!"

Does Texas not refrigerate their eggs?

[โ€“] Krachsterben@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Americans refrigerate eggs?

[โ€“] HandwovenConsensus@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

Yes. If I understand correctly, it's because the eggs are washed, which strips them of their natural protective coating and causes them to require refrigeration.

Here's a nice (non-paywalled) breakdown of the original article and reactions to it. I just managed to get the first few sentences of the WSJ thing (despite disabling Javascript), but between the article and the breakdown, it seems the author picked a baity title to an otherwise uncontroversial (if lacking) analysis of food price inflation.

[โ€“] BigNote@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Journalists don't write their own heds. It would have been an editor who wrote it. Your point stands otherwise.
