Tomorrow’s headline, “Millenials are single handedly killing the breakfast industry”.
They act like most of us even have time to make breakfast like we’re living in some 90’s sitcom
It’s people like you that make me look like an asshole. Every morning I wake up at 3am to squeeze orange juice, make sausage gravy, biscuits, waffles, 5 omelettes, 40 pancakes, 6lbs of bacon, hash browns, buttered toast, and right after my son comes down the stairs, puts his ball cap on, grabs a single piece of bacon, heads out the door in a rush, I chase him down with a PB&J he inevitably always forgets. But it’s not like I want to waste 40lbe of food per day. Some days I just want my son to sit down and eat the 40lbs of food I prepared. He may think I’m overbearing but I’m really overcaring.
The headline is as valid as “just stop being poor”
Here’s a nice (non-paywalled) breakdown of the original article and reactions to it. I just managed to get the first few sentences of the WSJ thing (despite disabling Javascript), but between the article and the breakdown, it seems the author picked a baity title to an otherwise uncontroversial (if lacking) analysis of food price inflation.
“Instead of seeking happiness, save money with misery”
“And while you’re at it, do you really NEED to sleep?”
"In fact, do you even NEED a home? You can just sleep at work like a good little corporate slave! "
There’s a webcomic about a world where almost no one sleeps anymore thanks to a new drug. And they work 16 hours a day.
16 hours a day in a world where no one has to sleep seems wildly optimistic
Seriously though skip breakfast
Yeah, I rarely have it unless I have to travel for a while and won’t have a chance to take an early lunch. I don’t usually get up til 8:55 though. I have to be at work by 9.
Life’s more affordable when you’re dead, plus it’s the only way out of your student loans.

I mean, it’s valid, if not for the incorrect reason. I personally fast past breakfast all the time , mainly because I’m not a huge fan of it. Otherwise, yeah…
I hope whoever wrote this trips in their bathroom and gets a severe brain injury.
News sites will do anything to get engagement and attention. ANYTHING.
Same but for the editor who chose that headline
AIs don’t have a bathroom, or even a brain.
Can’t get a brain injury if I have no brain…
taps head
If you don’t have enough money for bread, buy cake instead!
I mean, intermittent fasting is legit but not to save money… Ffs…
Thanks, Bezos. Thezos.
Maybe fuck that, the stores should take a hit so we can eat.
Like, why even have a government, if it can’t feed, clothe, and house the people? Shouldn’t that be priority #1?
I agree 100%
Cool, maybe we can start a club or something
