I discovered yesterday that they no longer sell 16 ounce containers of ricotta cheese. They're all now 15oz or 30oz. So if you have a recipe that needs four cups of cheese you have to either adjust the rest of the recipe down or deal with having a 1/4 cup less cheese than you really need.

Fuck capitalism.

bobs_monkey,

They’re doing the same thing with sauces and broths. Assholes.

humorlessrepost,

I’m an old and remember when smoked sausages were a pound. Then 14oz. Now 12oz.

GreenMario,

This is literally “buying gems” in free to play games never amounting to the cost of a typical item, slightly under or over.

EmoDuck,

Someone gave me a Hello Fresh gift code. It doesn’t fully cover the large meal plan so I have the choise of paying 5 bucks extra or taking the smaller deal and leaving money in the table

onion,

Ask them to refund the rest

Karyoplasma,

You’re not leaving money on the table if you take the smaller deal. If you buy the large meal plan, you were successfully manipulated into buying something you wouldn’t have considered otherwise.

The good old hot dog dilemma.

Decoy321,

You can always just have more or less cheese in the recipe. Or use the leftover cheese for something else later.

I’m not defending capitalism here, just defending cheese.

connaisseur,

less cheese leftover cheese

I see those words but I don‘t understand any of them

Make your own with whole milk and vinegar/lemon juice.

Edit: downvotes from scaredycats who think cheese grows on trees

Num10ck,

that makes buttermilk

Catoblepas,

That’s basically the process for making paneer, plus draining and pressing.

SpaceNoodle,

Queso fresco, too. It’s all the same cheese, just different levels of moisture!

ArmoredThirteen,

You can sorta make cheese with just acid but yeah rennet or a rennet replacement is the way to go

Cornelius_Wangenheim,

No, it makes acid-set cheese, of which ricotta is a type. Buttermilk is the liquid leftover after you make butter.

Gork,

You could buy 240 containers of ricotta cheese and 60 cups of cheese that way you’ll have the exact amount you need.

This is the Hebrew National 7 hot dog to 8 hot dog bun pack solution.

I mean, the Garfield movie did just come out so there’s gonna be demand.

Plus it’s a good holiday meal you can keep in the freezer and reheat when you have company.

asteriskeverything,

Wouldn’t using that pre shredded stuff not be good for recipes though because of the added anti-clumpimg agents though?

poppy,

Ricotta isn’t a block cheese that you can buy pre-shredded like cheddar. It’s a pretty wet cheese and is usually sold in tubs in your basic markets, kind of like cottage cheese.

asteriskeverything,

Lmao oh yeah hahah now I remember it XD

Duranie,

I’ve made obscene amounts of home make macaroni and cheese over the last 20+ years and haven’t had a problem with it. I know it’s a funny place some people get passionate about, but the “anti-clumping agents” are typically some form of vegetable starch or fiber. If I’m making a cheese sauce I’m already using flour to help thicken and stabilize it anyway, so I don’t think the trace amounts really matter.

asteriskeverything,

I’ve made obscene amounts of frozen Mac and cheese and that’s it. Thank you!

Legge,

It matters more, in my opinion, for stuff like pizza because there isn’t already flour. The melting is noticeably different between shredded mozz and a block of low-moisture you cut or shredded yourself. But for cheese sauces and stuff I agree there isn’t really a difference

Death_Equity,

Fluid ounces or ounces?

Semi-Hemi-Demigod,
@Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social avatar

Fluid ounces

Gork,

This is why we need an ISO Toilet Paper Standard.

velox_vulnus, (edited )

Or just buy a bidet spray. Simple to install, no waste of paper and you can control the angle without having to touch the crevices.

eletes,
@eletes@sh.itjust.works avatar

Are you walking away with wet butt? I have to dry with at least 2 squares post bidet

velox_vulnus, (edited )

Bidet towel? Just clean the bottom real good and all you have to do is just pat-dry it. Am I going to meet more people who aren’t aware of this?

tryptaminev,

Many more people yes. Bidets and their concepts are not well known in most of western countries.

Death_Equity,

You have a towel covered in poop just chilling in your bathroom and call it normal.

velox_vulnus, (edited )
  • The jet spray from a bidet removes shit thoroughly from the ass cracks. Since bidets are effective at cleaning, it should not leave any poop stains.
  • You don’t use them while sitting. After you’re done with ass-washing, you get up from the toilet seat and dry your butt.
  • You’re not supposed to rub it, unless you want a bloodied, dangling rectum. It is used to absorb water, because the debris has already been dealt with by the bidet.
  • People shit only once or twice per day. The towel is replaced after 12 hours, or sometime even after every use, so what’s exactly wrong with it?
  • It isn’t supposed to be shared. I mean, you wouldn’t share a hanky or a body towel with someone else, would you?
  • Most people from around the world, especially in Europe and Asia, do this, so it is normal?
  • Eco-friendly? No paper is being wasted. Also no jammed toilets.
joenforcer, (edited )

Sorry you have to hear it this way, but a butt towel requiring a wash in detergent and even more water than you just flushed is less eco-friendly than two squares of toilet paper.

velox_vulnus, (edited )

I think you should give this a read. This should convince you to switch to a bidet towel. What I’m surprised about, is that you fail to see how regenerating forests is more difficult than regenerating water. It is very hard to repair the uprooted ecosystem. And no, new trees can not solve climate crisis. You can substitute an eco-friendly detergent. You can clean multiple bidet towels together. Forests, however, takes years to grow, changes in the eco-system can lead to ecological disturbances, and it has to be monitored carefully. This is not the case with water being contaminated with detergent - excess phosphates can cause eutrophication of algae.

SeducingCamel,

Hey man I know it’s generally accepted that bidets are cool and amazing, but actually I just feel like you’re wrong

Karyoplasma,

I would share a body towel, there is just no necessity to do so.

Death_Equity,

I challenge you to get poop on your finger, wash it off under the shower head, and then rub your eyeball directly with that finger. Your towel has poop residue on it.

variants,

I use a bidet daily and sometimes theres still some poopy left after a few long sprays, I use toilet paper to dry off and do a check and then if its clean Im good to go, otherwise I hit it with some more sprays and check again. a few sheets of toilet paper is a lot better than no bidet but Im still not convinced a bidet by itself is good enough. at least here in the states bidets are simple bolt on squirters not a separate thing that might do a better job

Kusimulkku,

You’re supposed to clean your ass first, my friend

variants,

im not going to risk a towel in case I need a couple more sprays haha

Kusimulkku,

You could put the towel in the wash if you’re initially doing poor job of cleaning.

Simbomba,

Many people ain’t aware oft bidets and most of those who do know them assume they only exist in Japan or in Japanese toilets

Potatos_are_not_friends,

My fancy bidet air dries.

I mean, I still wipe but I just wanted to flex over my bidet that blasts warm air all over my booty hole.

whereisk,

Sounds like fecal particulate matter everywhere… if flushing spreads it, can’t imagine what an air blower does.

Eufalconimorph,

You use the cleaning function first, then the dry function. Don’t just dry the shit on there (well, maybe you would, but everyone else washes first, that’s the point of a bidet).

whereisk, (edited )

Woosh…

The point is that since flushing alone creates aerosolised particles.

Spray wash, then blow dry, would probably multiply that.

I mean we know that hand dryers are terrible.

QueriesQueried,

Yes I’m sure the multiple countries that use them don’t have a fixation on being clean or anything at all, and are very pleased with blasting shit particles around. ^^/s

whereisk, (edited )

Lol.

“I’m sure all these people sacrificing goats to the gods haven’t seen their prayers answered all the time and are wrong - can’t you see how successful the Greeks and the Romans are, you idiot? /s” << you are this kind of person.

“Multiple countries” that “have a fixation” - therefore it can’t be - hahahaha!

Are you against scientific evidence?

I gave multiple sources, you gave arguments from incredulity, popularity, and your personal perception of reputation of whole countries - collectively.

QueriesQueried,

Did you by chance edit those in? I had only seen the one link about hand dryers, so either my app bugged or you edited 🤷‍♂️

poppy,

I like my bidet, but I have no interest in letting my labia drip-dry so I will continue to buy toilet paper thank you.

Droechai,

You don’t have a hair dryer in your bathroom? /S

OneWomanCreamTeam,

Bidet has reduced my toilet paper usage, but it’s absolutely not a replacement.

Senseless,

There are several:

  • DIN EN ISO 12 625-4: 2005 (Dry tear resistance and perforation resistance)
  • DIN EN ISO 12 625-5:2005 (wet tear resistance)
  • DIN EN ISO 12 625 -9:2005 (Puncture resistance)
  • DIN EN ISO 12 625-3:2005 (Paper thickness in use)
  • EN ISO 12 625-8:2004 (Water retention capacity)

Yet there seems to be no standard for the size or number of sheets in a roll.

1 mega plus = 4.5
1 “roll” =4.55555556
1 double plus = 2.26666667
1 super mega = 6.

Sorry for formatting I’m on mobile

Double space (at the end of the line) = line break

Easy, regardless of the device you are using.

bl4ckblooc,

Hmm, doesn’t seem to be working. Might be specific on the apps maybe

Son_of_dad,

All these brands talking about how much length of tp there is, but they’re cutting the width. So now tp rolls are stumpy and small

DrMango,

Just floss your cheeks, bro.

KrummsHairyBalls,

Bro, rolls are TINY now. They used to fill up the width of my holder, and now they fill up less than 60%. They’ve just cut off 40% of the product lol.

Restaldt,

Hmm is the average toilet paper roll empty?

nailbar,

If you account for all rolls that ever existed, it’s pretty close to empty

Rustmilian,
@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

It’s just meaningless marketing.

paysrenttobirds,

It usually says price per total area, but this whole thing is why I just buy the recycled ones. If someone’s going to cheat me it may as well be for a good cause.

Thteven,
@Thteven@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah but then the store uses different measurements on all the price tags so you need a fuckin calculator to actually compare them.

Imgonnatrythis,

Paper towel crowd is just as evil.

Bene7rddso,

Toilet paper is just small paper towels that don’t scratch your butt

TurdMongler,

Now splinter free!

DanglingFury,

I usually just buy half a roll or so at a time from the guy behind the mcdonalds drive through.

shasta,

Bidet

coffee_poops,

Just pick the ply you want and look at the sq.ft. of the roll. Odds are you want the most length per roll.

Blackmist,

We need a new metric standard. Introducing the 💩.

112.6 standard rolls = 1k💩

Zink,

This is why you always have to show your units!

Cjwii,

I can show you my unit ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

uphillbothways,
@uphillbothways@kbin.social avatar

Doesn't the price tag on the shelf usually have a break down per sheet or sqft?

scytale,

Yeah. I just look at the price and how many layers (i.e. 2 ply, 3 ply) there are, and decide from there.

Decoy321,

Even if it doesn’t, all these packages have the total area listed somewhere on the package. If the $/area isn’t listed on the price tag, you can still calculate it manually.

instamat,

Who do you think I am? Einstein??

sarmale,

What does this even mean, I buy them separately

brianorca,

It means they either roll it more tightly (more layers per inch) or they make the roll bigger (hope it still fits your roll holder) to stuff more paper on each roll. So they are advertising the package as “72 regular rolls” when it’s only 12 physical rolls.
