I discovered yesterday that they no longer sell 16 ounce containers of ricotta cheese. They're all now 15oz or 30oz. So if you have a recipe that needs four cups of cheese you have to either adjust the rest of the recipe down or deal with having a 1/4 cup less cheese than you really need.

Fuck capitalism.

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 95 points 10 months ago

This is literally "buying gems" in free to play games never amounting to the cost of a typical item, slightly under or over.

[-] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 31 points 10 months ago

Someone gave me a Hello Fresh gift code. It doesn't fully cover the large meal plan so I have the choise of paying 5 bucks extra or taking the smaller deal and leaving money in the table

[-] onion@feddit.de 11 points 10 months ago

Ask them to refund the rest

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 10 months ago

You're not leaving money on the table if you take the smaller deal. If you buy the large meal plan, you were successfully manipulated into buying something you wouldn't have considered otherwise.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 42 points 10 months ago

You could buy 240 containers of ricotta cheese and 60 cups of cheese that way you'll have the exact amount you need.

That's a lot of lasagna...

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

No, that's a prospective hustle that pays for your habit.

They're doing the same thing with sauces and broths. Assholes.

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I’m an old and remember when smoked sausages were a pound. Then 14oz. Now 12oz.

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

You can always just have more or less cheese in the recipe. Or use the leftover cheese for something else later.

I'm not defending capitalism here, just defending cheese.

[-] connaisseur@feddit.de 34 points 10 months ago

less cheese leftover cheese

I see those words but I don‘t understand any of them

This is why we need an ISO Toilet Paper Standard.

[-] Senseless@feddit.de 86 points 10 months ago

There are several:

  • DIN EN ISO 12 625-4: 2005 (Dry tear resistance and perforation resistance)
  • DIN EN ISO 12 625-5:2005 (wet tear resistance)
  • DIN EN ISO 12 625 -9:2005 (Puncture resistance)
  • DIN EN ISO 12 625-3:2005 (Paper thickness in use)
  • EN ISO 12 625-8:2004 (Water retention capacity)

Yet there seems to be no standard for the size or number of sheets in a roll.

Nah, ISO fucks and I fuck with ISO

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

hmm, this is more like realizing your preferred language doesn't have a word for a thing and deciding you want one.

[-] velox_vulnus@lemmy.ml 35 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Or just buy a bidet spray. Simple to install, no waste of paper and you can control the angle without having to touch the crevices.

[-] poppy@lemm.ee 29 points 10 months ago

I like my bidet, but I have no interest in letting my labia drip-dry so I will continue to buy toilet paper thank you.

Are you walking away with wet butt? I have to dry with at least 2 squares post bidet

[-] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

My fancy bidet air dries.

I mean, I still wipe but I just wanted to flex over my bidet that blasts warm air all over my booty hole.

Bidet towel? Just clean the bottom real good and all you have to do is just pat-dry it. Am I going to meet more people who aren't aware of this?

[-] variants@possumpat.io 15 points 10 months ago

im not going to risk a towel in case I need a couple more sprays haha

Many more people yes. Bidets and their concepts are not well known in most of western countries.

1 mega plus = 4.5
1 “roll” =4.55555556
1 double plus = 2.26666667
1 super mega = 6.

Sorry for formatting I’m on mobile

[-] Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 10 months ago

Double space (at the end of the line) = line break

 

Easy, regardless of the device you are using.

[-] bl4ckblooc@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Hmm, doesn’t seem to be working. Might be specific on the apps maybe

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

All these brands talking about how much length of tp there is, but they're cutting the width. So now tp rolls are stumpy and small

Hmm is the average toilet paper roll empty?

[-] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 8 points 10 months ago

If you account for all rolls that ever existed, it's pretty close to empty

[-] paysrenttobirds@sh.itjust.works 20 points 10 months ago

It usually says price per total area, but this whole thing is why I just buy the recycled ones. If someone's going to cheat me it may as well be for a good cause.

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Yeah but then the store uses different measurements on all the price tags so you need a fuckin calculator to actually compare them.

[-] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

It's just meaningless marketing.

[-] coffee_poops@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago

Just pick the ply you want and look at the sq.ft. of the roll. Odds are you want the most length per roll.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago

Paper towel crowd is just as evil.

I usually just buy half a roll or so at a time from the guy behind the mcdonalds drive through.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 13 points 10 months ago

We need a new metric standard. Introducing the 💩.

112.6 standard rolls = 1k💩

[-] Zink@programming.dev 12 points 10 months ago

This is why you always have to show your units!

[-] Cjwii@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

I can show you my unit ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[-] uphillbothways@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago

Doesn't the price tag on the shelf usually have a break down per sheet or sqft?

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Even if it doesn't, all these packages have the total area listed somewhere on the package. If the $/area isn't listed on the price tag, you can still calculate it manually.

What does this even mean, I buy them separately

[-] brianorca@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

It means they either roll it more tightly (more layers per inch) or they make the roll bigger (hope it still fits your roll holder) to stuff more paper on each roll. So they are advertising the package as "72 regular rolls" when it's only 12 physical rolls.
