I was happy to see cleaning supplies, tools, and cooking gadgets. Every time someone posts one of those 'I only own 12 things' posts, that's the first thing I think about/look for.
Oh, you just spilled a drink? Better call a cleaning lady because you don't even own paper towels.
Time to a cook a meal? Nope, can't. Better just eat out instead.
Something is broken? No duct tape, can't go over my 12 item limit, throw out the broken thing and buy a new one.
It all seems so impractical while also oozing of privilege. Must be nice to not have to repair anything or ever cook for yourself.

Actually eating at cafeteria is what least wealthy people, e.g. students, do. Buying food cooked in batch and sharing instruments is cheaper than maintaining your own kitchen and possessions.
- Miner49er 10y agoI don't think that's true at all. University cafeteria's are very expensive in my experience (at least in the U.S.).
- ycmbntrthrwaway 10y agoThe price there just reflects how much students are ready to pay. Cooking is actually cheaper when done en masse. Just look at how poor countries and army handles it.

- taneq 10y agoI spent two months in Thailand living off street vendor food and never had any issues. Then again after a misunderstanding I spent three days drinking the tap water (which even the locals won't drink) before getting sick, so maybe I'm just robust.
