  • For example, in Europe McDonald’s French fries contain 3 ingredients (potato, salt, oil) and in the US there are around 20 ingredients… The US adds all that extra shit to make the frier oil last longer, to make it easier to clean, etc. and fuck you for being poor if it gives you cancer.

    That’s actually a very poor example because the US and Europe have very different regulatory frameworks. The US actually requires more details when listing ingredients than Europea does.


  • My dishwasher doesn’t even have a proper screen, just an LED timer, some buttons, and a few status LEDs.

    It stopped working about a month ago and I was livid when I learned why.

    The tech who came to fix it, said it probably needed a software update, removed the toe plate, plugged a wifi hotspot into a network jack I didn’t know about, and the thing started working fine 5-10 minutes later.

    I didn’t even know the thing had software to update.










  • A couple months ago, my dishwasher stopped working. When the tech showed up to look at it, he said it may need a software update. He then unscrewed the toe plate, plugged a wifi hotspot into the newly revealed network jack, and let the update happen.

  • Specifically, you’re making a claim and working backwards from there, buttercup. The science is completely unkown to you. You’re no different than the antivaxxers. You cherry pick what you thinks supports your preconceived notions and ignore the context of what you’re looking at.

    You’re ignoring that we’re not Europe. We don’t do dental care the way they do. If you want that, that’s fine, but you don’t get to ignore the reality of how it currently works here.

    And let’s see you provide that alleged research about tapwater avoidance, champ.
