      …i just want to point out that you havent needed to power off a videogame console to change games since the original playstation in 1997 (or whenever that was, my memory of the Before Times is hazy)

        It’s not about money - I get them free from the local weekly charity giveaways - it’s about the environment. Did you know that PlayStations contain more plastic than half a toothbrush? And manufacturing ten of them uses more energy than five perforated toilet rolls?

        Every time you throw away a PS5, another penguin dies.

    Typical big box shopper. My local farmers market only carries Nintendo Switches. Can easily keep your grocery bill under $400.

      If that pisses you off, you should come to the store I work at. I shit you not, they sell INDIVIDUALLY PLASTIC-WRAPPED potatoes.

      Wasteful dicks.

      Honestly I need to start doing that. Most of the time when I buy a whole bunch of like 5 or 6 bananas, the last two end up brown and gross before I can eat them.

        I’m talking about buying them separately in contrast to buying them connected(no matter how many you get). If you will peel them before they get too bad, you can chop them up short ways or put them on a stick whole then freeze, they make good ice cream substitutions.

      Here’s a trick: bring a small knife to the supermarket. Separate the bananas you want to buy and nip out the tips where they were joined. This will remove 3 grams of banana that you would have paid for. Every self made billionaire knows this trick.

        That’s not milk, that’s white colored water…

        🙄

        “If the milk has all the proteins that make milk useful but doesn’t have fat, it isn’t milk!”

        Don’t skimshame! There’s nothing wrong with perverts drinking whatever they want!

      He’ll run out of milk halfway to next grocery trip. Some people really be living on the edge

    The issue here is you buy 3 bananas instead of a bunch or two, it’s cheaper that way.

      Is it? Where do you live that bananas aren’t just sold by the pound (or insert other regional weight measure)?

        Yeah for me they’re usually sold as “each”, so the bundle is just proportionally more.

        The PS5 box is the original disc drive model. It’d be black if it were the digital drive-less model

    The font on the teabag box is the font I would expect to see if a multiplayer game added a “you’ve just been teabagged!” notification feature

    You’ve been had. For that price the jif should either have transparency or be animated.
