    One of the food delivery apps labeled something “long distance delivery” at five miles. I could walk that. I didn’t, but I certainly didn’t pay someone else to drive it.

    While there is nutrition value to some bugs, most grasses pass undigested through the human gut. We are not ruminants Also if you leave bugs for a chicken to eat, you can have eggs instead.

    It’s remarkable how much people will complain about delivery fees and refuse to cook themselves, or even go out and buy premade food

    if an 8 minute round trip saves you $15, then you’re essentially paying yourself $112.50/hr to be your own delivery driver

      Yeah that’s some pretty insane cost/benefit for time.

      It’s one of those things I like doing to encourage myself to do things. “OK so if I do this thing by myself, what am I ‘getting paid’?”

      …and then I compare that to the number of hours I’d have to work to earn the same amount of money (after taxes).

      They probably mean a 4 minute drive, which would be like a 30 minute walk, assuming you can cross the 6-lane monstrosity of a road that the pizza place is on without being smushed by a lifted F-250.

      Right? If they didn’t order 25 dollar avocado toast every day, they’d be able to afford a house by the time they’re 70.

        I mean you can but back in the olden days (the 90’s) take away pizza was a treat not dinner every night and before the 90’s going out to a restaurant was a treat there was no delivery

        He’s also 4 minutes away from the pizza shop, just go out and pick it up ya fatty
