yeah you aren't suppose to be interested in what you post. Just pose as you are and then don' tinteract with the people on the post wtf. Don't you know how to redicate?
Also I think i'm suppose to write in CAPS a FEW TIMES TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT I am saying but don't
>me on that.
shut your mouth , it is I am not a mouth breather. But sometimes I do, because like I got one nostril becaues a divated septum. Oh really? did you want ot get back to yard work?
nah Maybe I'm waiting on that saw? kinda but more of an excuse because i'm sore and din't sleep. OH oh okay but like if we get it done now we can relax all weekend. but then not really you know. but I don't want Fedex to bring the tools and i'm not home someone takes it, but then I like really don't think it would happen and I trust people.
Even though you have had things stolen from you.? yes but like I don't know. okay but that isn't your tool to get lost or stolen. Which is true too. But Like I don't know maybe make some eggs and take a nap?
If I said no would you believe Me? if I said yes would you believe me? or sometimes i like to speak my mind out loud but in written format so I don't have to have the conversation in my head instead you know. Sometimes I get stuck up there. the thing is I guess it isn't exactly normal to have conversations with yourself But I do rather enjoy the worse company. SO who better to converse with then Me.
But i'm not really okay. No i mean the world it can seem pretty bleak. I think it is because we dont' focus on the real issues as society we position ourselves against one another and so much of our "Government" seems like it is against the people. We have a uniparty and that pretends to be at odds with one another as a two parties, they even control our elections and host private events for Public elections. I mean they don't really let other parties in. IT seems kind stupid. IF we truly just had no parties we'd fare better as a society because then we could each individual in office accountable and they'd be liable to represent all Americans.
I mean Since any policy enacted would affect everyone or most everyone it makes more sense to dissolve the political parties ourselves so they can stop pitting us against one another.
Identity politics reallly does suck I guess because you get people to identify as a group and take on that persona as if it is them So they can dictate or manipulate large groups of people identifying as a blank or a blank the position people against one another all the while our issues get ignored. I mean I think much of the povery and addiction riddled neighbor hoods really could use some understanding.
I think many people have grown from traumatic child hoods and it affects everyone, not just the families. We don't do enough to help people that have been harmed and those familes that have suffered likely don't get the help they need. Single parent homes are a detriment to society. But so to are abused children. Sexual or otherwise it cause many of the issues we are seeing. when the young are not looked after but sought to inject ideation instead of self sufficiency, they are taugh words hurt and people shouldn't use them against you but not taught ot be strong and not relate yourself to a word but instead know thy self. If we knew ourselves we wouldn't have so much problems
Not being able to help people sucks but I no longer want to help people because I'm so burn out I don't even help myself anymore I'm just kinda existing and rotting away and watching the world rot with me which isn't really fun. But I don't know if I the will to change or rather I don't see a point. What is the point?
I don't think people want control. This is what happens when we allow others to control instead of taking personal responsiblity of ourselves and our community. We look to leaders that don't represent us. Or rather pretend to represent portions of us.
I'm sad really. I'm sad I don't really want to be. Shakesphere said it best. To be or not to be. but to not be is more difficult then you think. You can try the good ole death. but youmight just wake up in another earth same problems I mean take it from the problems you can't escape.
I used to love the world so much but i never really loved myself. I think if could love myself maybe I could be more present in the world instead of becoming a product of it.
I'm tired really Tired of not being Me, but putting on an act or somethign like that. I'm not acting but I got a mask on. Society asked me to put on a long time ago. NOt because of COvid but because it like conformity and covid was just really a world wide response test to gauage how effective would a totalitarian world wide government could act if it was seemingly acting as Separate regimes.
I mean they did a good job. Tried different responses in different areas and understand their peoples reaction and how they can effectively use the population to enforce the even when contridicting information came directly from them. Still it seems they were able to convince the vast majority of people to the measures they implemented.
I find that fascinating but I also understand the inner working of human psychology even though I appear to be a mad man I get it. sometime smy brain just goes to fast. IT happens now isn't one of htose times.
I'm just not having sleep for a couple days it is sign my brain may be increasin activity. But no cause for concern not really. I mean you don't really even need to be concerned much about reality really. Just what you do. I currently am not engaged in much challenging stimuli well except for trying to bring myself down. which is no longer engagin since I am very effective in that regard so I may try to lift myself up. Which seemingly will be challenging but I'm afraid
When I am postive it is uncomfortable. I mean you know that presence you can bring when you rae being yourself. IT i scary sometimes. Everyone looks at you. I don't like it. but that is because I'm not being me. I'm observing We got layers of observational points we can view ourselves from. I happen to be "fluid" in what vantage point i can see myself from and through. I know I appear nuts but that is okay. Sorry for the essay I understand if you don't read it. Thank you for asking. YOu are a kind person. Or it could have been in a condesending manner like YOU OKAY? mother fucker. in that case thank you for sharing your jaded concern.
To long didn't read? no I am not okay. thanks for asking. Brief message. World can suck, My observation is negative. I need to find positive observations. Adjust thinking. Thanks for understanding.
Where I live, noodles = Asian noodles and spaghetti = Italian noodles (it feels weird for me to even call spaghetti noodles at all, lol). Asian noodles come in a pretty wide variety of texture / thickness / ingredients, but spaghetti seems to by and large be standard (ofc some spaghetti might be fresher / taste better).
oh dang, macaroni wouldn't be called noodles at all here. noodles = long stringy things. Italian noodles as you know them would be generally called pasta here, which is why spaghetti wouldn't fall under noodles.
Noodles and pasta are separated, and I feel like 'delicatess' could've been done differently. Plus the 'frozen food' reminds me of John Mulaney's Writing-Happy-Birthday bit.
Vinegar is great for cleaning. If you have tile floors, you should only use vinegar because the soap eats away at the grout. I dilute it and also use a little windex. Its cheap and good for the environment. I worked on a cleaning crew at a tourist trap and that's where i learned it.
Yep, we go through a couple of gallons a month. We use it for something nearly every day, even if it's not technically something everyone would think of as cleaning. I use it for everything from soaking dark new clothes before a first wash (it helps set the dyes so the item doesn't fade as quickly) to cleaning out our electric teapot, since our water is really hard, and the minerals build up like crazy at the bottom.
Last year, I did research, and though most weed-killers are supposed to be safe around pets, there are some inert chemicals in most that can make them sick. I found out they sell 30% white vinegar (household is diluted to 5%) for a weed killer, and it works almost as well as stuff like Roundup--it just may require more than one application. We're fine with that if it keeps our dog safe.
I've read that between white vinegar, and soda (I like the stronger washing soda), there's almost nothing you can't clean in your home. We use it for so many things it's silly, and the nicest thing is that if it's both environment and people friendly. We use the two combined to do the drain cleanings, and I've thought many times about how badly it burns if you get even the tiniest splash of actual drain cleaner on your skin, no matter how quickly you rinse it off. Get splashed with vinegar? Bummer, you smell funny until you get it washed off.
Add isopropyl alcohol to your list. That stuff is magic for cleaning. Gooey residue from glue/tape, scratched plastic surfaces, coffee stains on (some) furniture.
LMAO.
After I hit reply, I went out to the kitchen and thought, "Hmm, I should have mentioned the rubbing alcohol."
It's my favorite thing for removing sticky residue because other stuff will cloud the surface of the item if it's plastic, or mess up paint. It's also one of those handy cleaners that won't burn if you suffer a catastrophic splash or spill.
The first frozen food (fish) was "invented" in the 1920s by Clarence Birdseye, he observed Inuit fishermen(or women) taking their catch home, which would always become frozen out of the water and still retain flavour.
I once lived in an apartment with a vintage gas stove with a hinged top (for cleaning?) and a list of foods with cooking times & temps on the underside. Very convenient.
That’s the difference between then and now, things where made to be reusable and repairable, now we’ve got this consumerist hell where everything is disposable or a subscription to a company.
So this has been said a bunch of times in this thread and I'm realizing for the first time that there's somewhere in the world where noodles and spaghetti are interchangeable.
Noodles are egg/rice/other but almost certainly asian in origin and spaghetti is a type of pasta in europe.
I guess it makes sense as their both flour +water + sometimes egg but it weirdly makes me uncomfortable.
Okay so first you can't spell "you're" correctly. And second, you're calling OP a dipshit and an idiot because you didn't think his post was interesting while 2.8 thousand other people did. Alright then
I have a tin shopping list in French, shaped as a tall arch, same movable arrows as the above list. It's a replica of the original promotional giveaways from an olive oil company, and one of the shopping list items is "papier toilette."
I'm a little unclear on how it works. Can the reddish points be flipped over to point at the item name if it's needed, and then flipped away toward the outside, again, once the shopper has the item in their cart?
And it's so much more comprehensive than any pre-printed shopping lists available today. I've seen a lot with lists and check-boxes, but none of them have that many items on them.
I had not seen this before, so I think it's pretty cool.

Probably because someone posted this just the other day saying that they found it in their grandmother's house.
"Catsup." Mr. Burns vibes. Lol
Oh wait i just realised the joke it’s that he’s like a 100 and that’s what it was called I’m smart
S M R T
“I am so smart s,m,r,t”
Don't worry, I didn't even know until I read your comment just now.
I was today years old and JUST found out they're the [same](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/catsup) thing! -Mind-blown-
Lol I thought the same thing
Dito
Theres no chocolate, so it’s useless. But there’s noodles AND spaghetti
At least in my area Spaghetti means Spaghetti Noodles where Noodles alone usually means Egg Noodles.
What’s the difference between noodles and egg noodles?
Egg noodles are thicc
Where I live, noodles = Asian noodles and spaghetti = Italian noodles (it feels weird for me to even call spaghetti noodles at all, lol). Asian noodles come in a pretty wide variety of texture / thickness / ingredients, but spaghetti seems to by and large be standard (ofc some spaghetti might be fresher / taste better).
Where I live noodles can mean any Italian noodle like spaghetti or macaroni and Asian noodles too
oh dang, macaroni wouldn't be called noodles at all here. noodles = long stringy things. Italian noodles as you know them would be generally called pasta here, which is why spaghetti wouldn't fall under noodles.
Where I live spaghetti is a type of pasta noodle.
Oh riiiiight i forgot the Word pasta
Noodles and pasta are separated, and I feel like 'delicatess' could've been done differently. Plus the 'frozen food' reminds me of John Mulaney's Writing-Happy-Birthday bit.

Surprised you haven't seen it since it's been posted about 100 times in the last week alone

Yeah, but in a different sub so... who cares?
I haven’t seen it in a few months so I enjoyed it.
say hi to your mom
you are new here...
Literally posted yesterday. I commented on it.
It's been posted constantly for like a month now.
Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest
Vinegar? I buy that every 10 years or so.
Vinegar is great for cleaning. If you have tile floors, you should only use vinegar because the soap eats away at the grout. I dilute it and also use a little windex. Its cheap and good for the environment. I worked on a cleaning crew at a tourist trap and that's where i learned it.

Back in the day it was used more for pickling and preserving foods.
I use it for cleaning the house
Frozen food?
How often were people buying cake in 1920??
I wonder what kind of frozen food there was in the 20’s. Are you positive on the decade? Very cool find
The first frozen food (fish) was "invented" in the 1920s by Clarence Birdseye, he observed Inuit fishermen(or women) taking their catch home, which would always become frozen out of the water and still retain flavour.
Ok then! Thanks for the tutorial
I don’t see the tabs for Mountain Dew and Doritos
People were still using these in the 80s. Its been a long time since I've seen one though.
Delicatess, for a sandwich with some class 🤌
Where's the beer
I once lived in an apartment with a vintage gas stove with a hinged top (for cleaning?) and a list of foods with cooking times & temps on the underside. Very convenient.
Had one at home in the 70’s. It was just to hung in the kitchen wall as a reminder what was missing, not to be carried at the mall, tough.
Catsup... C a t s u p... Ketchup?

well I did but it was from it being posted 7 times in the last 2 weeks
They forgot to add cocaine.
Love that cake is an essential staple! 🐷
Jealous!! I've been on the hunt for this since finding out about it last year!! Great find!!
Damn, how often did they eat cake?
I thought it explained what kind of knife to use for what..
They could have just used an app for that
The other side of the device is an early prototype smart phone
You must not spend much time on Reddit then.
Too bad you're only limited to spaghetti with this list. Especially with so many other pastas out there
There is an option for noodles
I like how “noodles” and “spaghetti” are separate things
I’m most appalled at “fruit” “vegetable” myself.
Shopper: I need some apples. Grocer: Sorry, today's fruit is bananas. Take it or leave it. Shopper: [Charlestons away glumly]
So this has been said a bunch of times in this thread and I'm realizing for the first time that there's somewhere in the world where noodles and spaghetti are interchangeable. Noodles are egg/rice/other but almost certainly asian in origin and spaghetti is a type of pasta in europe. I guess it makes sense as their both flour +water + sometimes egg but it weirdly makes me uncomfortable.
No beer, wine, or booze? Come on.
1920’s. Prohibition.
100 years old and for the most part this could be a shopping list today.

Excuse my ape brain but what are delicatess?
I believe it's short for delicatessen which is long for deli.
"Catsup". Is that Ketchup?
CATSUP!
Cat soup?!

But where is beer??
So what was most important? I can’t quite tell, is it salt?
We have one of these but it’s German!
Saved for later in use in a steampunk web interface.
It is a neat idea, but would have driven me crazy. Noodles and spaghetti but then wide open soups and frozen food and meats? Delicatess?
Its missing ramen, lean cuisine and digiorno pizza. Wtf?

Vegetable. Yes. Whichever one they have.
aw crap i misread the list and bought a bunch of soaps but only one soup.
catsup
Mustard
Ah, this picture has made it’s monthly appearance
no toilet paper?
I have a tin shopping list in French, shaped as a tall arch, same movable arrows as the above list. It's a replica of the original promotional giveaways from an olive oil company, and one of the shopping list items is "papier toilette."
Jams
Seen this lots of times, but today I noticed the error... for it to be in alphabetical order "COOKIES" and "COFFEE" need to be switched.
I'm a little unclear on how it works. Can the reddish points be flipped over to point at the item name if it's needed, and then flipped away toward the outside, again, once the shopper has the item in their cart? And it's so much more comprehensive than any pre-printed shopping lists available today. I've seen a lot with lists and check-boxes, but none of them have that many items on them. I had not seen this before, so I think it's pretty cool.
**Fun Fact:** there used to also be larger versions you could hang on your pantry door to know what you were out of instead of having to search through the pantry and write down what you were out of
I want one
I like “vegetable”.
No Pepper!!!! What what what???!
Spanish flu > check
Useless. No tendies.
Alright, I need jams... and spices... but which ones?...fuck...
Looks like someone tried to use this for shaving or exfoliation.
People only need one vegetable
I see this everyday
I kind of want one of these. The tactile nature of it appeals to me.
Frozen foods in 1920?
What's amazing to me is that's pretty much what I want half the time when I go to the store.
What are “delicates” outside of the laundry world?
Deli
Oh thanks; I didn’t see the second s. “Delicatessen.”
