Sorry, I just added that so people don’t assume I pay for animals to be subjected to a lifetime of torture cause I’m a weak selfish removed.

A beautiful orange Cousances cast iron roasting pot from the 60s, used to be my great-grandmother’s. I mainly use it to make vegan mac and cheese, or enormous batches of vegetable soup whenever I get a flu.

The oldest object in regular use however is an old dowry chest, a light wood painted black, that my other great grandma kept all her and her son’s belongings in when they fled from the red army during WW2. I keep some bulkier tools, a box with sandpaper, and a ton of bubble wrap in it lol

I love natto, but never met anyone else who liked it. Used to have it every day for breakfast and ferment it myself sometimes. Should get back into that actually.

Boiled to mush broccoli and brussel sprouts are kinda nice though…

Corporations are notoriously democratic.

RE-OPTIMIZED

I don’t believe in dumb people. Measured intelligence is a pretty useless concept that does more harm than good.
I think everyone spends their cognitive capacity, what they choose to care about and pay attention to in different ways, and then we as a society place more value on those qualities that are deemed useful from a perspective of productivity - and label those ‘high intelligence’.
The overall variance between healthy (non-brain damaged) human adults in ‘mental processing power’ for lack of a better term seems negligible to me though. Some people just use theirs to advance quantum physics, while others use it to organize their garden or draw Sonic the Hedgehog porn.
