I have never once ordered take out to pick up. Never once ordered take out to have delivered and haven't eaten in a restaurant in over a decade. If I'm too busy to cook I'll make a hamburger. Or I might have cheese, bread and some grapes or a pear. A whole can of deluxe mixed nuts and an orange.

Who is going to tell him that "making a hamburger' is cooking? If you dirty a pan. If you dirty a cooking surface. If you are a spoonie and use spoons that's cooking cookie.

Just saying it takes almost no time or effort. It would be more trouble to go pick one up. Of course if a person "wants fries with that" it's a different matter. Making fries at home is a pain in the ass.

That’s why I make roasted potatoes to go with my burgers.

I make fries at home but it isn't quick at all. You have to cut the fries. Boil them until nearly done in water with vinegar then let them dry on a towel then fry. Requires close watching and you end up with a big pot of oil you may use twice but you have to let it cool, and transfer to a bottle.

Yeah, frying is a real art and just not something I want to do anymore. I’m old.

I mainly reserve it for donuts.

now i want donuts. damn you, patrick.

You know. That thin outer layer which has a crunch. It can never be achieved in a donut shop. You have to be there in the moment. I actually want to open a shop which sells nothing other than plain cake donuts cooked to order. The fryer is going. The dough is ready. The order is placed. Two minutes

bastard!!

Dip them in chocolate frosting that melts all over the top and I’ll visit your donut shop. 🍩 😂

It’s a real thing. I am a major practitioner because I have two young adult boys in my house who order delivery for nearly every meal and complain that I only keep food in the fridge that requires (gasp) preparation (e.g. eggs).

“Mom! We don’t have any food. Just…INGREDIENTS!”

I think my kid has used that exact phrase. I was a latchkey kid and have zero sympathies for this argument.

I checked with him and yes, the accusation was that "This is an ingredient household," but he also said that I was right to nudge him to eat less crap and stop ordering delivery every day and has just deleted DoorDash from his phone.

My argument against the apps was pretty heavy on the labor angle and this fell on deaf ears with my kid because he works food service and the more assholish delivery guys are his nemeses (assholish-slash-anxious to pick up their orders so they don’t get down rated and dinged by our tech overlords)

I keep doing this to myself. Only ingredients in my house. :(

Purity culture lives on, on Bluesky!

I'm not responding to them, they're stealing valor from people with real problems

New phrase I read on Bluesky “ Nazi Influencer “ Yes it’s real

The "shaming" makes it sound more fun and less stupid than it actually is

I will never understand the people who are proud of their unwillingness to function as adults. By all means, some people genuinely cannot, and they deserve help. But there’s a special breed out there who simply think that the natural state of man is *to be served* and they aren’t.

It’s mostly men who belive womens work are beneath them and that some female should be doing it for them for free. That’s why they complain over the cost of DoorDash.

Wait until you find out about grocerybros

This seems like a wise move. Go forth and spite them by posting more of your delicious looking cooking from the other day!

I’m a grocery-pilled cookcel myself

Take the beanpill. Easy fresh salad: 1 bunch parsley, 4 cans rinsed and drained beans, 1-2 cups Italian dressing, diced red onion

hold up. ima shame you for not cooking your own beans. . .

Oof I respect your hustle, saving $0.35

4 cans? That’s a lot of beans

It is!! Yowza. 👀

I muted burrito taxi months ago and at one point had to mute groceries. Why does this app keep coming back to this discourse?

It's not like we all have to eat multiple times a day. Food shaming has no place in any society. Fed is best.

Sounds like something a Fed would say..

Yeah, my brain also went to THAT kind of fed.

ACAB

All Calories Are Beneficial!

@cttrekkie.bsky.social What's the deal.

All Chefs Abuse Butter

This is vegan coded and I actually hate it.

You don't have to be vegan to think that mashed potatoes maybe shouldn't be 1/3 butter.

That's why I said vegan coded. But if you swap the third of butter with roasted garlic, we can ditch the butter.

Don’t let trolls tell you how to live your life. You are harder, better, faster, stronger.

There are so many different flavors of “shaming” yet from my 70 year perspective, there have never been so few who feel actual shame for truly bad acts.

Met the quota I see...

This discussion is designed to assign blame to people who don't own all the food companies.

My hottest take is that western culture is that being protestant / Nth European or UK/Ireland is the norm, but it's actually the reverse - the protestants are devoid of culture, family & food, which makes them think that needing to prep a meal is an attack.

For everyone else, it is the norm.

uber defeats i guess

Oh that's a choice, closing the app. Good to know. I usually just bang my head into the wall.

We got rid of HomeEc and shop classes because we thought parents were functional and gave a shit about raising functioning adults. Not only are the parents reading at a below 6th grade level, they cannot teach their kids how to do basic cooking and repair.

The current school building do not have the space needed for these things and teachers are not qualified to teach them.

The teachers could easily teach it but you are right about the facilities. We spend too much time on STEM at the expense of other important topics.

Tell me you have never tried to teach 26 12 year olds how to cook something without telling me.

I teach high school. Middle schoolers are unreachable for any subject as far as I am concerned. But I could teach my students to cook.

NO decent teacher, on any level, uses the word "unteachable".

Good thing I didn't use that word. I also said "for me". I don't have what it takes to teach middle schoolers. It's not about them but my own limits.

You said kids a specific group of kids are "unreachable". That means you are a shitty teacher, and I guarantee your colleagues and students think the same thing.

I would be a shitty middle school teacher. That's why I don't teach middle school. But I am a damn good high school teacher. You know nothing about me or my classroom (which you would probably love). Why are you so committed to attacking a stranger you know nothing about?

Again you clearly do not recognize the red flags, because you are flying them high. The shittiest teachers I know, the ones the kids cry when they find out they have them, as the same teachers who think they are the best in the building.

Thank you telling me that you are a bad teacher.

You can't be serious with this. Judging someone this harshly based on a comment that you misread? Would you tolerate your student's behaving like this towards each other?

Again, you are telling me you should not be in the classroom.

Why because I don't fly off the handle like you do? So far, you are the one behaving poorly. It's not too late to apologize.

Again, proving the toxicity.

Experienced teachers recognize tells. They hear the same shit out of bad teachers for decades. We all know what we are looking at and if you do not know what I'm talking about, you are the person people recognize.

Like what? That different levels of school are different and not everyone is suited to every level? You think teaching high school and elementary school require the same skills? Or are you just too proud online to admit an error?

No decent teacher calls students unreachable. As a person who HIRES teachers, that would be an automatic NO , and the resume would go into the wastebasket. This thread is just reinforcing the fact that you are most likely a bad teacher whose ego drives them instead of the desire to help kids.

Yeah but my 10 year old does know how to microwave their own corn dogs ... AT HOME, is this good or bad?

Home Economics, woodwork, electricity, plumbing/mechanics and print shop. The middle 3 are the classes I wish I had paid more attention to rather than to do just the minimum to get a good grade on the written tests.🤫

Haven't seen that yet, I think. What is meant? Or is it literally shaming someone for ordering takeout?

🤣🤣🤣

Is that shaming someone for getting takeout, or is it when you are in the mood for shaming but don't have the energy to do it yourself?

perhaps the rallying of moots to ratio someone's hot take you consider unsightly?

Hmmm... I'm gonna see if I can drum up a few million VC dollars to make that service a reality.

Oooooh good question! We could be on the ground floor of a nascent “shaming outsourcing” industry.

I just thought that was Facebook

Hmmmm … [checks notes]

ShameDash for when you just don’t have it in you anymore.

Shaming as a Service 💰💰💰

It gives SaaS a new meaning.

That would honestly be an absolutely brilliant marketing campaign.

I know, right? @sparklingice1776.bsky.social you’ve struck gold here.

Maybe I need to change my name while there’s time!

Claim that domain!

Trademark that!!! 😂😂😂

It's an offshoot of Mamdani's government grocery stores. It's the anti-trans talk of kids being provided with litter boxes because they identify as cats.

We live in the stupidest timeline.

But then you would miss this thread, which is fun and has lots of cool links! (And lots of the eminently blockable.) bsky.app/profile/adap...

They can come to my house & cook for me then lol

DoorDash donated lots to dump

I saw the term "grocery-bro" yesterday and I... ? What? Lol

At least it’s not “delivery shaming” so I’m ok🤗

Wow take shaming too.

What sucks is most of us home cooks want to help them overcome the early difficult part of learning and understand that the current restaurant landscape is not sustainable. We want to be of service!

Learning to cook isn't difficult. Get a recipe and follow it. One thing many people don't understand about cooking is how easy it is to cook the sort of things most people ordering take out or delivery order. A hamburger being a prime example. Going to pick one up in a car takes more time.

A problem with "follow recipes" advice is that newbies are left not knowing what to do with extra ingredients. This in fact drives much of the discourse I've seen: "cooking for one is wasteful". I'm not sure how to teach "throw stuff together" confidence.

I agree that with practice, it becomes easy and actually relaxing. I was stressed at the farmer's market and to chill out made this breakfast burrito using fingerling potatoes I just bought, no taxi needed.

Yeah, but you have to know things that recipes don’t tell you, like that all the vegetables you put in your lasagna have to be CHOPPED TO EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE or some of the pieces won’t actually cook. Some of us are unskilled at cooking, so I stick to tacos. And spaghetti. And smoothies.

Spaghetti with jarred sauce or tacos are a great example of something that counts as cooking when you do it for yourself. And a great step up from dependence on someone to feed you! Next step is to add some dried herbs or fresh ones if you can handle it. It is possible, you got this!

These are the things I can do. I make my own sauce (from canned paste & stewed tomatoes), so I season to my liking. But once you get past my skill set, the quality varies like my aforementioned lasagna failure. Or my scrambled eggs vary in quality because I’m not sure which heat setting to use.

Making sauce rules! I made some yesterday with heirloom tomatoes that didn't survive a bike ride home in good shape. Medium low and slow for eggs. Easier on gas than electric for me.

And my dogs love irregular-cut vegetables if they are cooked.

If any one wants to try becoming a home cook I have a great one-pot Pasta y Lentici recipe! All you need is half a bag/pound of rigatoni, a can of tomatoes, 3/4 cup of lentils, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and some spices to taste. 45 minutes or less!

Only difference from this is using 4 1/4 cups water and a 14 oz can of tomatoes when out of season or stressed: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/past...

My gross paper copy:

This is a good idea, thanks. I'm always looking for new lunch recipes. I like to cook on Sunday afternoons

As someone who's been eating too much takeout lately I would definitely like to see this recipe!

Same!

Wait, I thought we all voted for the guy who campaigned on "Mind Your Own Damn Business"?

Yeah. The one that gets me is "poverty deniers"

Probably said by someone who just cooks their own food and doesn't grow the ingredients themselves.

Or someone who is able bodied & can grocery shop & cook.

THIS EXACTLY!

Bluesky shaming?

And get takeout? 🙂

Just ordered take out biscuits and gravy. #resist

If you're taking it out, you probably should be shamed Wait, wut

Will someone take me out shaming?

As restaurant meals become ever-fussier concoctions of flavors that just drown each other out, why on earth try to hold home cooking to that ‘standard’? Imo, fine home cooking is a hobby (or for occasions). Basic home cooking is affordable & healthy. Takeout is fun / quick - and essential for some.

No shame if you tip well.

I understand trying to shame nazis but let people enjoy their lives any way they can because right now the world is breaking. Love those around you or just yourself but let people have what they need. For me it is quiet and I am grateful to have it.

This! 1,000 times, this. 🫂🏆👏🪷🧘‍♀️

This discussion is making me hungry.

This app is like my late mother, who always gave advice, even when none was wanted or needed. And like her, I still love it, over its more toxic relatives.

I don’t care if anyone gets takeout, I just don’t know why they feel they have to defend themselves by saying it’s cheaper. It’s not, but it doesn’t matter. The internet is weird.

I'm even okay with them saying it's cheaper - whatever they need to tell themselves to sleep better at night! That discourse lost me when it veered into "and who needs kitchens if we are all getting takeout anyway, frugally"

we order takeout which we pick up 1-3x a week. never use uber eats or doordash. have used pizza delivery but drivers are employees of the restaurant. we cook 1-3x a week & combo frozen meals (lean cuisine or indian) with a salad other days. should i be ashamed? i certainly don’t feel ashamed.

(Q-Tip voice) Takeout shaming Miserable framing It's the people who import Twitter Who I am blaming

I like takeout..... Mmmm Hmm (~);}

I prefer my shaming delivered.

Nah, delivered shaming is never as satisfying as homemade shaming. I find delivered shaming lukewarm and, too often, inaccurate.

The thing about homemade shaming is you need to use a scale. If you don't weigh your ingredients you'll never get the rise you're looking for

They always get my shame wrong!

And it’s so expensive!

Would you rather take your shaming RAW?

I ate a meal at a restaurant yesterday. Im basically fit for the guillotine

There you go again, Blueysky Discourse Shaming.

🎯

Wait, first what is takeout shaming?

It’s a popular way to be loudly ableist while claiming to stick up for the working class

Dead serious, it’s two groups of people having two totally different conversations and absolutely freaking out about it.

Sounds like something Ebthen would accuse somebody of

Yeah I’m into takeout shaming, I’m shaming all of u for not being like me & not getting a sausage, egg & cheese McGriddle w/ the spicy egg McMuffin sauce on it for breakfast. Get on my level u herbs

I think I’m going to do some takeout shaking, come to think of it

Well, unnecessary ruts are a shame. By all means change up.

Context?

Burrito taxi. Motte-Bailey fallacy. I just learned all this. DoorDash is thrown around in that too.

lol, we are a sensitive people 😂😘

I don't tip when I takeout. If that's the topic. It's usually the owner handing you the food at the cash register. They don't need a tip.

I cap takeout tips at $1-2 depending on meal size. Some friends who were servers said they sometimes get stuck handing out takeout instead of serving and getting paid decently. No way would I tip 10% or something like I’ve seen some people claim

Right. If it's an employee, I'll leave $2. Easy to tell who the owner is.

I'm outright refusing to even attempt an understanding of this particular subdiscourse, just let me eat in peace.

The discourse is so vast I can't decide if it's "shaming people who spend more on UberEats than most people have money" or if it's the more standard "shaming people who don't want to cook a farm fresh meal every six hours"

Why not both?

Yeah. The financial illiterate who posted the delivery candles list deleted their post, so the argument has drifted away from that to whataboutism and a huge variety of increasingly hilarious scenarios and scolds.

It’s the latter, with a side of shaming the poor for making bad food choices in a food desert. Or shaming the disabled for not getting up off the couch to prepare proper meals. The latter two are the MAHA specials of the day.

It's also been shaming people who claim it's cheaper than to eat out than to cook for themselves.

Yes go back to sleep

my spicy take is that if you want to use delivery apps, you should do that. if not, don't do that

How DARE you!? 😁

Purty simple eh?

You are wise, and I should have done that yesterday 🙃

Hugs. I curate what I look at *so hard*.

People are on the weirdest shit about minor lifestyle choices of themselves and others. People can just do their thing and stay the fuck quiet. A lost skill. Instead every preferred shoe tying method is a moral choice with self help books, newsletters, and weirdos ready to go to the mattresses.

Oh, but there are so many different ways to tie shoes! www.fieggen.com/shoelace/tyi...

Im still stuck on bunny ears

No, you heathen! There is one orthodox method of tying shoes, and any other method is blasphemy!

📌

Agreed. Except, rolling TP from the top is definitely a moral choice not a minor lifestyle choice. I'm going to die on this hill.

Bro humans are hilariously weird. Maybe I could introduce you to the entire world of sailing and other kinds of rope rigging (no not just the kind you have to pay SWers to be introduced to). People care a lot about knots. It’s a bizarre but useful human obsession. The world is gloriously weird.

I have very strong opinions in favor of the doubleknot.

Two bunny ears or rabbit around the tree?

Why does this remind me of the scene with Archie Bunker and "Meathead" on how to put your socks and shoes on? A sock and a sock, then a shoe and a shoe OR a sock and a shoe and a sock and a shoe? If you've never watched "All in the Family" please disregard this post. 😅

It’s sock, sock — shoe, shoe. Right, left Right, left

That was one of *the* funniest scenes in the shows history. 😂

I still think open derision is the way to push morons back into the shadows. It worked then, it can work now.

Nailed it!

Sometimes the best opinion is no opinion.

In many ancient cities, including Rome, the people were apartment dwellers, and the apartments didn't have cooking spaces. The people used street vendors for meals. Only the wealthy had kitchens-and kitchen slaves to work in them.

But I don't live in ancient Rome. How do people in modern Rome obtain nutrition?

Via nasogastric tube like everyone else in Italy, obs.

Now you’re making me wish for doner kebabs &nyc halal chicken carts

We don’t live in ancient Rome and most of us manage to prepare food for ourselves without kitchen slaves

That’s the point they were making. The tweet Janelle is referencing was claiming that eating takeout everyday was good and virtuous because tenement-dwelling Romans without stoves had to do it

Im sure you can appreciate that I might not have known that

Just providing contexts for those reading the thread 😇

Ok but there's plenty of reasons someone might rely more on delivery. You can mock the people whining about delivery costs when they're ordering $80 worth of Chili's 5 days a week without being an ass to a disabled person who can't really cook for themselves.

Hiding behind those people as an excuse for poor time and money management is being an even bigger ass.

Yeah there is something ugly about able-bodied people claiming that anyone questioning their treats is being ableist. No-one’s even trying to take the treats away! They just can’t bear the lack of affirmation

But aren’t people allowed to have poor time and money management? I mean, we are all differently skilled. Some ppl read really well. Or draw. Others clean more quickly. Some are financial wizards. Others are naive. All are legit human beings.

Skill issues, all of them. The amount of mastery for all of those that's required to successfully navigate life is very low.

But it's usually not a "can't," it's a "won't."

Low for you, maybe. For some, it’s difficult (at least in my experience). Or their situation requires them to put effort elsewhere. I too would love to see greater competence in many things. Such as media literacy. But in the end, I’m just saying that people are equal but not identical. That’s all.

Cooking is not hard, or all that time consuming. If someone wants professional results, they should expect to pay for it, not complain about it when they do, or make excuses about why they require it.

Agree 100% with second paragraph. I think mileage may vary on the first.

It's not, I'm not a good cook nor do I particularly enjoy it. I do it because it is more efficient overall

Cooking is not at all hard - if you can stand in front of the stove for long enough. I have degenerative disc disease, a not-terribly-rare issue. I can't stand up for more than about 5-10 minutes at this point, and there are times when I'm just too tired from pain to do anything. So, takeout it is!

Does sitting on a kitchen stool work for you? (My usual no-spoons-left food solution is microwaving frozen or canned stuff, but that's usually for a lack of brains rather than pain issues.)

Which of course I wasn’t actually doing

I think the only legitimate scorn I saw about this was over people who do takeout / dine-in a lot and don't know how to shop reasonably/frugally AT ALL or cook for themselves AT ALL. Like yeah, that's bad, kids. (barring disability / etc, sure)

I'm not advocating or criticizing take out, just find it fascinating that what we think of as modern is just how people lived for thousands of years in population dense areas. We're not all that original, nor is how we live now a constant.

That's a good sign that BlueSky is making it mainstream: the obnoxious "discourse" folks are starting to call it home!

What does it matter if someone wants to order take out, have dinner delivered, grocery shop & cook at home, or grow an enormous garden and eat all plants? To each their own! What I eat, and whether I cook or not, isn’t causing harm to anyone else. Shame away!

actually every single meal you eat requiring someone to bring it to you in their car is pretty damn negative for society/the world at large. that does not fucking scale.

Well we destroyed the community, multi-generational homes and made everyone work 60+ hours to survive and you expect everyone to cook for themselves all the time? "Takeout" also doesn't mean uber eats or even delivery. American Leftists need to cut it with the purity tests.

everybody doesn't have to work 60+ hours to survive, among many other things. Very few people work anywhere close to that much.

About 18% of Americans work 60+ hours according to Gallup. That number is way too high. Here in Aus it's even higher, but mostly because our housing crisis is even worse than the US. With median house prices recently crossing 900k and bugger all availability.

the % of self-reported 60 hour work weeks is substantially greater among salaried employees, who tend to be *higher* earners. Still not a good or healthy thing (especially when coerced by employers) but a far cry from putting in hours to survive

Yeah and that's probably true in the US. In Aus we have high minimum wages, but due to decades of conservative governments and contracting economic diversity, professional salaries in Aus are abysmal. I worked 80hr weeks in a job that paid 85k p/a because there were no other positions available.

hey dildo if you get in your car to go pick it up, it's the same fucking thing

Or, you know, you're driving home from work and pick it up on the way home. It's fucking telling that you assumed a working class person was at home ordering food. Enjoy the concentration camp you end up in I guess? I'm sure you'll reflect on this as time well spent.

Really loving the juxtaposition of saying that if you tell me not to involve a car in every meal you’re doing a purity test and their bio saying we’re all dead from climate change in 25 years

If they actually read IPCC 6 they'd know The Cool Zone is in the 2038-2045 ballpark 🙄

My door dashers are always on “bikes” (uninsured Nissan Altima)

We need to Keep It in the Ground but also gas should be cheap enough to make burrito taxi super cheap

nihilism is the 21st century's actual greatest challenge and it's upstream of everything else

i dont even expect people to cook for themselves! there's nothing wrong with like jar sauce and pasta, or even a $15 ready made lasagna from the grocery store, but that's not what any of these people are justifying!

Cook here, and I still think people who make pasta with jar sauce count as cooking. Not disagreeing with the rest.

How I got started in college! Pasta and jar sauce, pre-cooked sausage, pre-grated cheese. Plus simple salads and sandwiches. Gradually branched out or got more complex. (Make my own sauce! cook raw sausage! grate my own cheese!)

This is the exact answer. 💯 agree.

So dogshit food with no nutritional value? Got it, no wonder Americans can't string a coherent thought together.

What do you think the nutritional value of most takeout is

Well I'm Australian and when I eat takeout it's usually Pho and rice paper rolls, or good Banh Mi. In fact most of our takeout is good, cheap asian cuisine, Middle-Eastern cuisine and so on.

You know thats not what most people's takeout is

So, you're saying that just because it's an Australia it's better, so Australia is some magical world where the exact same fucking food is suddenly more nutritious?

Australian restaurants aren't exactly aiming for health food there, why are you being so profoundly weird, go make a friend

he can't make friends, he has them delivered

What are you talking about? We have some of the best in the world?

I have been to Australia multiple times and can testify that that claim is absolute nonsense.

An immediate problem with climate change is that it’s too hot outside for weirdos to go touch grass

Everyone in America consumes an unsustainable amount of resources

Actually eh?

Every time you eat it's a negative for society. Yeah, guess what, living involves consuming resources. Crazy.

I'm rewatching The Good Place and am nearing the end after they've discovered that modern life is too complicated for the point system, as every choice has a ton of side consequences and that seems relevant here.

Did I say I had every meal delivered? You’re shaming me without even knowing if I eat out, pick up carry out or cook at home.

i'm not shaming you i'm pointing out that your logic is dumb as shit and many of those options are in fact harmful to society at large if people do them at scale. it's not just about you.

Wow, seriously? How does grocery shopping and cooking at home, growing a large garden and eating plant based or picking up carry out on the way home from work harm anyone else? Should we just not eat then? And you are shaming without knowing a thing about what I eat or if I cook.

xie specially called out "requiring someone to bring it to you in their car"

You never know someone’s reason for ordering a meal to be delivered. Not everyone does it daily or to purposely harm the environment. The person could be recovering from a surgery, going through cancer treatments, exhausted after a long work day and have kids to feed. Have some grace.

Those are special cases. Not everyone doing it all the time, "at scale", which is what xie was calling out.

Moderation is key (in all things)

Hasn’t thrift shaming been around for a thousand years

Doing the Homer Simpson goods and services joke but for “that tasty burrito could be made at home for 75% of the cost and you can probably make several”

Check your cook-at-home privilege

Inspired by Sweden’s “flight shaming”, which really was mostly just right-wing hype.

I don’t have a clue what any of this means, but if jamelle is exiting, so will I.

Day 2 of any discourse is when the real toxic stuff happens

Is that a good or bad thing?

Good for the laughs, horrendous for your well-being.

My first thought upon reading "takeout shaming":

🤣🤣🤣

Thank goodness drive in shaming isn’t a thing so I can still go to Sonic.

How dare you criticize me for whining that my luxury expenditure costs too much money! Next thing you'll be shaming me for the $3600 a month I spend on candles!

Yes, but also it has led to some threads about food prep throughout history and me getting to see a neat 3D reconstruction video of a Pompei quick service storefront. So, yknow ... Bluesky is a land of contrasts.

“Grocerybros” nearly ended me

I’ve screamed and written Shame!, Shame!, Shame! at Tea Party MAGA Republicans over the past many years that I am almost ashamed to have done so. Almost.

On here, you could say 'I like to use Hemoglobin to transport oxygen around my body' and someone's coming right back with 'why do you hate Hemocyanin?!' Because I am not a mollusc, you tool!

People are being shamed for stimulating their local economies? In this economy??

No one should be shaming tooken out food…

This has inspired a lot of shaming

Wait, is this about the guy that spent 25K on Uber Eats last year?

That as a specific example of the generalized Treatler phenomenon.

And he died last year. Dead people tell no tales!

I’m not going anywhere, but everything they say about Bluesky is so true

It started on Twitter so it's not a Bluesky thing.

Sometimes I think I must be very good at blocking, but mostly I think that having half as many followers as you and a hundredth as many as Mr. Bouie has its advantages.

The fact that "GroceryBro" is now apparently a thing is further proof of our failure as a society.

Grocery bros are why I now get my groceries delivered. Fuck those guys and their vanilla flavored protein powder.

Or it's just a convenient piece of ragebait that worked well and isn't really relevant to our daily lives, as all things from Twitter are.

I need a grocery bro t-shirt

Would buy

Fuuuuuuccckkk

Dare I ask what a grocerybro is?

I'm delipilled man, I'm in my bulk bin era, I'm producemaxxing out here in these aisles

And grocerycel was right there too. Sometimes I wonder about people

Grocelery

I can’t expect a person experiencing the degenerative cognitive effects of malnutrition thanks to eating nothing but Chilis to be mentally astute enough to. One up with a catchy term, to be fair

InCelery?

Soy(sauce)jak

The what now? Afraid to ask what they call people who shop the perimeter.

Is this for real? Can you point me to this thread or context? I evidently have a primal urge to absolutely ruin my Saturday morning that cannot be ignored. I need to know.

Turnback before it's too late. The end is nigh....

Pretty sure it’s a screenshot from the guy who spent $25k on Uber Eats last year.

I'm content in never knowing what this phrase means
