Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Wish full thinking but maybe now more products will use less sugar. A lot of brands use way to much sugar in all different kinds of food. For example most cakes we bake at home are at least as sweat as the ones bought for the store but have way less total sugar in them.

I have a theory those low sodium chips that have been coming out are just chips with how much salt is supposed to be on them and downsizing forced Lays to lay off the damn volume lol

“Supposed to be”. For health, or for taste? There is no doubt salt makes potato chips taste better.

I think the low sodium ones taste better.

They’ll just use more high fructose corn syrup

But sweat has natural salt, so it counteracts the sugar.

Seems like most products use corn syrup anyway. But there are some drinks I like that use cane sugar.

What's getting cheaper worldwide? Anything? I'd like to hear about those things sometime.

Computing power and storage! By the day. It's but a silver lining with regards to the price hikes of everything all around, but it's something

[–] avater 2 points 1 year ago

but for that you need power right, and the power prices are also rising...
