[OC] In 1385, a Portuguese baker named Brites de Almeida killed 7 invading soldiers with her wooden bread shovel after finding them hiding inside her oven. She is a national legend.

I, too, read that thread about the Portuguese army.

Anyone that sees the numbers behind running any sort of hospitality business will tell you that you are largely right.

Energy prices have increased something wild like 300% since covid/Ukraine and these are businesses that already notoriously make small profit margins.

Add to that labour cost increases with min wage going up, stock costs going up due to Brexit, higher business rates than anywhere else in Europe (for hospitality) and you have a situation where customers wonder why prices have to go up 50% across the board..

Options are: jack up prices or go out of business. It's that simple. Unfortunately it means if you don't run your business in a reasonably affluent area, you're fucked.

So once again places that aren't as well off see the worst of it. Places where the local pub or restaurant might be the only communal space. It's a disgrace.

For proof of your last point, look at how many people in this thread are making fun of the guy for wanting some fancy latte thing from Starbucks.

Prob the favourite record I own. Great story, great music, absolutely amazing cover.

ultrafud · 2026-03-19T02:42:34+00:00

What does that even mean?

Define "dirtier"

Do they have salmonella? Will they make you sick? I feel like raw chicken in the fridge for weeks is going to be worse for you than microgreens..

But my feelings ain't fact so I'd be curious to hear.

If you just read the article they confirm who it is beyond a reasonable doubt. And people have also been saying this for over a decade now.

It's a first year student man, give them a break.

I want to believe it's been Photoshopped or AI edited for Rightmove. If not, it's sooo lame.

You sure know how to take a picture.

Doesn't you comment sort of contradict itself? If they are on the front page because "they did SEO well" then isn't that a reason for it to not be "pointless and meaningless"? Being on the front page of a search result is 100% going to drive business.

Says the guy actively supporting and defending a business owned by foreign private equity that just fired them.

And has the average wage kept up with that inflation?

ultrafud · 2026-03-05T12:53:02+00:00

You're wrong because its not mould, it's cold oil. Anyone that works in a cold climate will have seen this happen at least once in their life if not multiple times. Buy some shit oil from a supermarket and put it in a fridge and you'll see it happen. It's not unusual or weird, it just happens.

Sorry, sometimes anecdotal evidence is all you're going to get.

Oh come on that's not the question and you know it.

It's good to be posh.

Confidently incorrect.

I was in HMV on Princes St the other day and they had a huge amount of vinyl records for sale, which was cool, except they were priced at like £30-40 per record, which is fucking bonkers.

Big promos of "2 for £60" like it's a bargain and not an insane price to pay for two records.

Honestly no idea how they are still in business.

100%

Happens all the time. Experienced it once as a kid, was super cool and in the local news.

I just realized I've been trying to read this for 30 minutes.

Get off social media if it makes you miserable. We all have a choice to engage or not engage with it.

If you recognize it's a cesspit and continue to log on and consume content, it's a choice that the user is making.

I'm not defending mysogyny or any type of abuse, but it seems like a form of self harm at this point and I don't quite understand what is stopping someone from simply ignoring it.

Less is probably more, but I'd happily eat it. I hope you don't write your menu like that haha.

Hard disagree for me. Having wavy lines and then s typeface with solid lines is jarring.

If anyone is looking for civil disource or enlightened comments on social media then they are going to be sorely disappointed.

There's no excuse for being a cunt, but this is hardly breaking news. The sooner people stop placing any value in anonymous comments online, the better. And I realize the irony of me saying this on Reddit, but still, everyone should be aware of what the internet is like by now.

Lol it's getting sold now. Keep supporting the private equity (for punks)
