  Again, depending on where in the world you are, you may not have the equipment nor access to ingredients necessary to make these properly. You might be able to approximate, but it won’t be as good, which is the entire point of my comment.

  American pizza requires a pizza oven or regular oven with a steel/stone (or dish for Detroit-style pizza), specific types of cheese, and depending on your preference, specific toppings; these may not be available abroad. In some countries, ovens are not considered standard kitchen equipment; good luck making decent pizza on the stovetop.

  Similarly, really good BBQ requires special equipment that even most American homes don’t have, and requires a good deal of outdoor space (otherwise you risk smoking out yourself/your neighbors).

  Mexican food is more flexible in terms of equipment, but ingredients may be hard to source (especially spices).

  For ice cream you might struggle to find the right add-in ingredients depending on what flavor you’re trying to make, but again, the biggest issue is equipment. You can make ice cream at home without an ice cream maker, but it seems like more hassle than it’s worth and still requires some equipment and decent freezer space (fwiw I’ve never done it before; maybe it’s easier than it sounds).

  Obviously this is entirely dependent on where you’re moving to, but I struggled to find the following when living abroad:

  • good (American-style) pizza
  • good Mexican food
  • good BBQ
  • certain ice cream flavors (like cherries jubilee/cherry garcia)
  • wide open spaces completely devoid of people
  • large-group events of a boisterous and goofy nature
  • certain types of museums/educational facilities (such as good zoos/wildlife rehab open to the public and interactive science museums)

  Haven’t seen this mentioned yet so:

  The honey may not expire, but the container you store it in could. I’d be very concerned about plastic disintegrating and/or leeching into the honey. Glass would be better for that, but it’s also really heavy compared to plastic, so you’d need more, smaller containers instead of one giant tub.

  Those devices absolutely need regular cleaning, because they will get moldy and will spew dirty air everywhere.

  Log was absolutely a part of my American high school math curriculum, and while it may not make its way to everyone, many if not most Americans were exposed to it in school. But people have terrible memories when it comes to what they leaned in school, doubly so regarding math, quadruply so regarding higher-level math. Regardless of their level of educational exposure to math concepts, I certainly don’t expect the average American adult to be able to reliably do any math they learned outside of elementary school, myself included, because after a few decades of not practicing, not even thinking about those concepts, that knowledge is almost certainly gone or at least covered in a very heavy mat of mental cobwebs.

  Interesting idea, but it would need to be heavily moderated against scams and such that have pervaded other online “handmade” shops.

  Cruises are an environmental nightmare; we really should not be promoting them for any reason.

  While I appreciate the effort, how is this not an inevitable losing game of whack-a-mole?

  At no point has Gmail ever said “we’re no longer allowing you to send/receive emails to/from Hotmail” or has Yahoo said “we’re maintained by a single volunteer who because of real life stuff can no longer continue so we’re discontinuing our email service.”
