    That is so disgustingly and shamefully wasteful. Who’s fucking decision was that?

    I live in Europe and this would absolutely be considered socially unacceptable and inappropriate.

    The reason people don’t know how to do shit is that they don’t have to do shit, because we are living under a mode of production centered around chaotic whimsy rather than human needs. If there’s any possible way for a product/service to make a person lazier, it will be marketed and sold, and the news will talk all day about how this is what Freedom looks like

    I loved the special but I wish it delved more into the innate toxicity of a system that brands dependence as liberty. We were a lot “freer” as a people when we had useful skills, and we became less free when we decided to outsource every ounce of effort to multinational mega-conglomerates who decide to shrinkwrap a peeled banana for a 700% upcharge

      If the store sold only those pealed bananas posted they are pandering to the roughly .002% of the US population has Parkinson’s, or the larger universal blanket of 26% of the US with general disabilities, many of which can peel a banana. While they may be needed in specific instances, I think the joke still stands, “People today don’t know how to do shit anymore”.
