Comment on YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power.

  I would guess it would mildly annoy people in power, but TBH this isn’t a way to save money. If it really was, it would be common practice already.

  Bidets are a cheaper, well known, better way to clean your asshole after taking a shit, yet the common practice of Americans is still to choose to smear their own shit around their asshole with dry disposable paper cloths.

  The flaw in your argument is that you think people, Americans at that, wouldn’t ignorantly continue to pay more for the convenience of not having to think where to buy their produce, because they can get it from the local Walmart 15 minutes away, instead of saving $20+ and driving 2 more minutes.

  Americans are notoriously lazy and stupid, as evidenced this past November.

      I got one cause of how my friend put it to me when she told me to get one. She asked me “if you get shit on your hand, are you just gonna wipe it off with a paper towel and go about your day, or are you gonna wash your hands? Now when you take a crap, why are you just smearing it around instead of washing it?” And it stuck with me and I’ve bought bidets from then on out. A 12 pack of TP lasts me a year, and I only use it to dry my ass. It’s the best thing in the world.

      I laughed at friends and family during covid, cause I had a nice clean ass, and everyone else was fighting for toilet paper.

  Can’t speak to the cost, just found my local place and their FB link is offline.

  I cannot overstate how dumb Americans are about shopping. The local Publix (expensive) just put the Winn Dixie (medium prices) out of business, just because the Publix is newer and prettier.

  Meanwhile, there are 8 other groceries that are cheaper than either. Even the Aldi isn’t busy.

  Been in a few big box stores lately, prices stunned me. “People pay for this shit?!” Dude on here posted his fish tank purchase. Spent loads buying: little rocks, sticks, big rocks. I just decorated a terrarium for nearly free.

  I buy almost nothing new, hell, I find a lot of my stuff. We had to get a new washer and fridge last year, paid $400 for both off FB Marketplace, nicest I’ve ever had in life, minimum $2,200 at the hardware store. Not going to listen to Americans whine about high prices when they’re complicit.

  Apologies, you triggered my Rant Card.

    As a fellow American, I can simplify this (Americanize it) even further.

    I cannot overstate how dumb Americans are about shopping.

    Apologies, I’m just pissed off in general about my country, as I’m sure you are too.

    American here. I love finding a good deal. My ex-wife, however, was put-off about buying used, she was more worried about how others saw her than actually saving money.

  I’d pay more just to cut out corps.
