  • Soybeans as a commodity can be cheap, but that doesnt mean that an end product made out of soybeans will also inherently be cheap.

    The market for soybean based meat alternatives is not that huge, so one of the more expensive aspects of trying to have an end product in an actual brick and mortar store is going to be getting space on the shelf in the first place. Packaging design and maybe some marketing, not to mention creating the actual product itself. All that stuff is expensive even if its mostly soybeans that the end product is made from

    Laundry detergent is like 95% water, but it costs far more than if it was actually 100% water

  • How many other fruits do you know with their own namesake version of the French language?

    Exactly, thats what I thought

  • 10-15 years ago was 2011-2016 amigo

    There was plenty of that stuff in the American porn scene by then

    The “what are you doing stepbro?” joke originated in that period, which inherently necessitated market saturation of that type of porn to work as a mainstream joke

  • I think medical collections is one of the few things that has no impact on your credit score, if I remember right.

    Either way, your credit score can pretty easily turn around from being absolute shit if your financial situation turns around. I used to have a score of like 400 and now its 700. A lot of creditors still deny me based on the stupid shit I did as a teenager that sent it down to 400, but once it gets back towards 700 (assuming you have income to back applications) theres always some place that will give you a loan on decent terms. For a while there I was shit out of luck on that though and couldnt get a loan from anyone that wasnt predatory

  • In the US you can buy alcohol in flight, but its against the law to drink your own personal alcohol if you brought any onto the plane

    If you fly first class, you typically can get a complimentary alcoholic beverage while everyone else is boarding, and then also get another once the plane is in flight.

    Thats why on occasion if theyre offering first class upgrade for like $80-$100 Ill do it, especially as a tall person. The extra space is great, and if youre already planning to drink in an airport bar during a layover then its basically moot. Airport bars charge like $20 for a watered down cocktail with less alcohol in it than the drinks an attendant will make

  • I think the legs were supposed to be crossed, but somewhere along the way that was forgotten

  • Its Florida, so Im going to assume they think the oranges wont grow because gay people exist

  • He bombs you when youre sleeping

    And also when youre awake

  • Work for like one half hour, two half hour

    Then for lunch, maybe something cool like a cigarette

  • has an endurance of up to 6 minutes

    Now we can dream that one day hoverboarding will move beyond being the premature ejaculation of recreational activities

  • He has a full load, according to the schedule, but he might be able to sneak you in somewhere

  • Imagine the grandchildren of those guard members regaling the tales of how grandpa spent hard-fought months at war with the dandelions of DC

  • I know my Fischer-Price is good, I’m the one who buys it

  • rule

    Jump
  • TAiS

  • I highly doubt that, but even if it were true, it literally takes one nuke to change the entire course of humanity

    The second one gets shot off, everyone pointing one at each other shoots them off.

  • remember: you have dementia

    Who keeps putting these stupid notes in all my shit?

  • I believe only Delta has said they will eventually use that kind of pricing, but I dont think they actually started yet. Ive tried checking the price of airline tickets on different devices that are both mine or not mine, and the prices are always the same whether they know its me or not.

    The only thing “dynamic” about airline ticket pricing is that it changes over time, but that is not personalized pricing where people get charged different amounts at the same time. The article is conflating those two things

  • How many other department head jabronis can even do a proper hegstand?
