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

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!

I read it as monkey, and it didn't make any sense.

[โ€“] itspcp@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

You need less monkey if you skip breakfast. What's not to understand?

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.

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

Does Texas not refrigerate their eggs?

[โ€“] Krachsterben@feddit.de 12 points 2 years ago (13 children)

Americans refrigerate eggs?

[โ€“] HandwovenConsensus@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years 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.
