You make SOUP with chicken !? Man, I really have no idea what carnivores are actually eating x)

Eating chicken IS expensive ! It also happens to be immoral, but that's not relevant here. Vegan is cheaper unless you live in some sort of hellscape where only hyper-processed food is available.

It really depends where you live. Strawberries should be a luxury in places they don't grow locally ; I can't give a worldwide opinion on the price of strawberries.

Fruit in general should not be a luxury, but fruit from far away or fruit that require a lot of resources to grow should be.

I am much more inclined to trust TeamSpeak, but personally I'd rather move personal smaller groups to Matrix, and bigger public communities to Discourse or Lemmy where they are properly indexed and searchable.

I do exclusively eat grains, potatoes, carrots, and beans ! (and other vegetables, fruits, and legumes)

Eating even the cheapest chicken I could find at LIDL (a little over 10€) would at least triple my food budget.

I think also Americans live in a different world pricing-wise, I have seen some people respond to me with some prices I didn't think existed.

So I guess the universe where it is expensive is called "Europe".

Exactly what I though. Good luck trying to find a whole entire chicken for 6.45€ anywhere in the EU ; last time I checked LIDL, the cheapest they had was a little over 10€

I didn't know they sold it for this cheap. But does that price include taxes ? Still a little pricey IMO, but tolerable (only if taxes are included).

$13.99 is a very high price for something that gets you 2 days worth of meal tops. Maybe I'm just a cheapskate though ?

Last time I checked a whole chicken was like 10-15€ or something (and I was at a discount store, so that's a low estimate). That sounds real expensive to me, my meals only cost me around 1€ each usually. And I'm pretty sure you can't stretch a single rotisserie chicken across 10-15 meals ?

To be fair, I have never bought or eaten meat as an adult, so I have no frame of reference for its price.

For-profit companies cannot be relied on for this kinda thing (for anything at all). TeamSpeak is good now, maybe, but there's nothing actually protecting it from turning to shit the very instant management changes.

has a very mild run-in with one singular community's admin "That's it, I'm done with the entire platform !"

To be fair, avocado toast is an actual scam and can be made home for cheap, while rotisserie chicken is legitimately expensive rn no matter how you get it.

But also, it's still a lie. None of us that aren't rich douchebags are "splurging" on food 😂

Idk if it's perfect but I really like the "literate programming" version of wc
