  Also FYI hotdogs roughly contain about 2% human DNA in them.

    However, it was unclear whether this report was peer-reviewed or published in a reputable journal—Snopes found no record of either. The report also did not provide details about how the authors came to their conclusions, such as how they tested the hot dogs, what kind of hot dogs they tested, and whether they considered the possibility of cross-contamination affecting results.

    It’s achingly frustratingly clear that the dumbasses at ClearLabs accidentally contaminated their samples. This is horseshit.

  Isn’t ultra processed crap like that normally pretty expensive though? I find its always cheaper to make a cheese sauce and some pasta myself and doesn’t require ultra processed ingredients.

    You’re forgetting time. Cooking from scratch takes time that many ppl can’t afford. I think we forget how closely linked freetime and wealth are

      This probably takes about as much time as hamburger helper out of the box does. And yes, I know not everyone is going to have those ingredients on hand, but most people who keep their pantry stocked with the basics are going to have everything.

      Never really been convinced by this. Even when I was on apprenticeship wages (way below regular UK minimum wage) along with also having assignments to complete, I still had enough time to cook food every day.

      I certainly wasn’t wealthy but if you are poorer than I was you would be working so few hours that you have loads of free time. UK specific of course but I hear the same argument here all the time.

      I can see how having only part time/zero hour contracts sucks financially, but that is because you have too little income from not being able to work enough. At least you do have a lot of free time in this situation though, so you have the time for cooking.

    I don’t know why, I’m pretty sure hotdogs are more expensive per pound than ground beef at my local shop.

    I think this labelling is just marketing. Given the name of the product contains “hamburger” they can assume anyone buying it already knows they can add ground beef. I think they just added hotdogs to the label to give people ideas about other proteins they can use.

      I mean the CS skin market tanked today so I still think I’m on to something.

      It’s wild that trading skins for a video game had a market cap of 3 billion. It’s ridiculous that speculative trading has infected videogames.

  if you are looking into something to do, i will advice AI data labeling, here is what you gonna do ,you’ll need a verified U.S. profile account to access most of this tasks. Without it, opportunities are limited. If you can’t create one, you may need to buy a verified account. I use a Labelbox U.S.A profile, switch the location to the U.S.A using your proxy or vpn then add your payment methods PayPal,Stripe wall. Tasks are usually paid weekly, every Friday. With focus and consistency, it’s possible to earn $800–$1,000 per week. Do your research if you’re new to freelancing it will help you before getting started and do not rush to it
