Time to start drinking copper
I prefer my copper with a teaspoon of microplastics.
And stealing chocolate from the walls at construction sites.
And I drive the baddest Prius out there! My Prius does 5billion in just 3!
Headline should be: copper cheaper than you thought
Cocoa being more expensive might be better paid workers and better living standards right?
I was stunned at how cheap copper is after being linked BigStackD on YouTube and watching him melt copper into a bunch of copper bars that ended up totaling like 35USD
…right??
copper in the context of itself is actually pretty cheap. the problem copper has is that copper is reletively expensive when compared to other common metals, hence why in some industries, copper usage is being cut back more (e.g heatsinks, as copper is commonly used for its great heat transfer coefficient, but reletively speaking, is more expensive than aluminum, while cheaper and lighter, doesnt conduct heat as well as copper)
Fine, I’ll put copper in my coffee since it’s cheaper.
But you can’t afford the coffee now, either.
You notice the bags of coffee beans went from 16oz bags for around $10 five years ago to now 10oz and 11 oz bags for $12?
Ok billion dollar idea: selectively breed yeast until it can make it. I leave the details as an exercise for the reader.
Yes, let’s use AI!
And blockchain
Woah woah, we don’t want to overproduce it
Try Cardamom. That stuff is getting ridiculous, ~$20 for a small standard grocery store spice rack jar. Apparently climate change is affecting the production. I was making some Indian food and ran out, went to the store and was shocked at the sticker price. A quick calculation seems that it’s about $15,500/US ton, ~50¢/oz bulk market cost, whole allspice.
What common recipes use cardamom? I haven’t made anything that uses it.
Cardamom is a pretty common spice in Chai. It is also used in certain styles of biryani and various curries. Various indian sweets can also contain it. The Swedes apparently use it in cakes and pastries.
Indian food. Rajma and naan is how I survived uni and it uses a fair amount.
The Basmati rice recipe I was making called for it. Might have been another dish, but I forget.
Cardamom carrots are really good.
I put it on a lot of things sweet and savory alike. It goes with the rosemary, pepper, salt and coriander when I roast potatoes. It also goes into snickerdoodles or a half dozen different kinds of cake. It also makes a really good additive to soap if you make your own soap.
It’s such an underappreciated spice, at least in the US where nobody seems to know what’s going on despite enjoying the food.
The only time people don’t question what the flavor is, is when I make Indian food.
Semlor!
Coppr can go succ it if wants more of my money
Yeah but it makes rubbish wiring.
So this is why a candy bar is now $2.69?
I used to buy chocolate candy all the time but they’ve seemed to double in price in 10 years, so I turned to pretzels instead, which are still cheap
Overlooking the whole child slave labor thing, yeah I suppose so
I’d be ok if we ditched chocolate as a society.
not forget the $8.7 Billion hedge fund pumped in https://www.ft.com/content/563227fe-edfb-40bd-bea9-dc2822ba4f27
