I want a glass storage where the lid is also glass and can be used without a silicone gasket but comes with one that makes it a tight seal and the lid can act like a small container.
Those actually exist! But I have only ever seen them as tall, round vessels for storing pickles and stuff.
never thought about using these kinds of things but basically the same idea but with the bowl kinda tupperware way of making things. stackable and ideally sized so that if it has pasta, stew, rice type dish it would be a heaping serving. Like 1.5 meals were you are a bit of a pig to eat the whole thing.
What is wrong with the silicone/rubber rings? It lets you seal them better. Got some chutneys I made in clip top jars. Also clip top bottles for the mead.
Is it drawn on Post-Its or are you the unfortunate owner of the world’s most painful bathroom?
and then you get to a point when you try to make your own furniture and find joint weight counterbalance fascinating.
Was going to vehemently dispute this and then realized I’ve attempted several pieces to varying degrees of success over the years. How quickly I suppressed the memories.
after you finish one that doesn’t fall apart immediately - it is worse than coke. it is easier to quit smoking than quit woodworking
“Alao you generally don’t need to ask for permission to go to bathroom anymore.”
I reached age 40 and I just disagree with anything in this comic. Low energy, furniture and plastic crap are for other people.
You’re still old and even if you think you’re cool, all young people secretly roll their eyes at you.
Eh, when I grew up there were cool oldies you wanted to hang out with so who knows, maybe that’s the commenter? xD
They do this openly but thats probably one of the job perks when you are a barista.
Your fellow olds also roll their eyes at you, behind their bifocals.
Some boomer Karen can roll her eyes all day, I hope they get stuck
Well you can always cover yourself in tattoos and piercings, then people will believe you’re young!
What a life hack, no I don’t want to look like my boss.
I would not know in terms of motives and piercings what do they even mean?
I take it, you don’t have kids?
No, that ship has sailed
You left your kids unsupervised on a sailboat?
Yes
Did you give them a sack lunch at least?
It’s never too late. But yeah the comment should have probably said “parent” instead of adult 😅
Haha you think I can afford new furniture??!
Totally right about the containers tho (though I use glass containers and I have two favorites but they serve different purposes)
I bought a new water filter today I’m very pleased with it as it’s slightly different to the previous filter.
But yes I’ve definitely become a lot more interested in Tupperware then I would have previously thought possible. I think that’s just because when I was a kid things just happened, and now I actually have to make them happen I realise how convenient it is to have storage containers rather than just putting bowls and plates in the fridge and messing around with crappy plastic film.
My thing is linen. Holy shit, a good sheet is AMAZING! Yes, I am old. What gave it away?
No
Building furniture can be fun and cheap too!
You will also get angry if they change the layout of your supermarket.
I wouldn’t mind it as much if they weren’t specifically doing it to fuck with us
ah, but you see…our marketing department says people spend 10% nore when they’re forced to spend 30% more time wondering around our store.
Fkn Walmart near my house just did this. Bunch of batards.
One of my local Walmarts rearranged months ago but still hasn’t updated the signs and I get so annoyed every time that I have to steal something
A supermarket near me has reorganised and they’ve had to put up signs telling people where everything now is. So what was the point in reorganising it?
I think there should be legal definitions of where things are and what aisles they’re on. I don’t understand why sometimes eggs are considered dairy and other times they’re in a completely different part of the store. I actually don’t care which one they pick but I would like all supermarkets to be consistent. One place near me that has a dairy aisle, for all dairy except yogurts, which are on a neighbouring aisle. Every time I want some cheese I always go down the yoghurt aisle and get lost.
Adults are just bigger children who:
-
Peer pressured themselves into stop playing. (optional)
-
Know when it’s appropriate to be silly or have to act serious. (Recommended)
-
Understand the concept of consent. (Should be mandatory but somehow isn’t)
Am i glad video games and lego have gotten normalised for adults at least.
I generally just do whatever the fuck I want to. Idk it’s not that hard. Surround yourself with good people and things will be generally good.
we should all play and have fun and frolic
The self peer pressure is real, I think as an adult you start to take into account the effort it takes to do things so you are more conscious about what is worth doing or sacrificing time from other things to do which lowers the fun part of doing it making it less worth it

One spoon that you absolutely despise yet don’t throw away. So it just rolls around in tge drawer until the end of time
Ugh yes, I don’t even know how I got this spoon. It’s wide and flat, and has these sheer edges like it was just stamped from a sheet of metal and then fucked into a vaguely spoon adjacent shape by aliens who had heard of the concept of spoon and hated people. Somehow the metal is always kind of grimy looking, even when freshly cleaned.
This spoon will outlive me. It will outlive all of us.
For me it’s that one pair of socks
I’ve been taking mine on runs and long walks, trying to wear them out. 🧦 🔫 It’s the only way
You have pairs of socks?
Yes
It’s the emergency spoon
I thought I was the emergency spoon.
See you get it
For me it’s having forks with slightly bent prongs, I absolutely hate that but I also don’t really want to start throwing cutlery away because it’s metal and I don’t really know what to do with it. Is it recyclable?
It is recyclable, since it’s metal. If you have any recycling infrastructure around where you live, there’s probably some place or company or similar, that will take all sorts of stuff, as recycling it can be profitable. Have you already tried searching “metal recycling (your area)” or something like that?
You can unbend them
yeah, but they never go back to normal.
skill issue
Thank you for reminding me. I went ahead and tossed it out just now.
For some reason my partner prefers the worlds worst spoons, so we have our own sets and its so annoying to have to dig through 10 of the worlds most awful spoon to get to my good ones.
you know you could just use dividers right
Not really enough space for more dividers than are already in there to separate types of flatware. Very small apartment galley Kitchen.
yeah you gotta sacrifice the forks and knives being separate or something lol
{Twitches at the Thought}
easier to tell apart forks and knives than different spoons!
or maybe just agree to have one set of spoons facing in and one out in the same pocket, actually that’s better.
Nope. Tossed that fucker.
I’m an adult and I don’t get excited about of this crap.
Last month I bought myself 5 kilos of second-hand Bionicle parts for a total steal. Now that is something to be excited about!
That tracks
I just found one I like and bought 10 of it.
I don’t have tupperware, I have Glasslok, which I chose because fuck plastic it is the devil’s material.
Is it obviously superior? And that’s why you favour it?
Well yes, but it’s a set, not just the one tupperware.
Which is your favourite of the set?
I just keep old jars and put stuff in there. They come for free.
Fuck plastic! But man, can I not find a pure metal bottle. I don’t want anymore of that poison.
Aladdin makes stainless steel (and I think maybe even glass) bottles. I got one on clearance at Target like 8 years ago and it’s still going strong (though with a few dents).
Srainless steel is good, glass though…heck no.
Yeah I wouldn’t get a glass one. I’m just going based on pictures though so it might be plastic.
I mean this is what I found with a quick search: https://www.kleankanteen.com/products/plastic-free-water-bottle-27oz
With most of them you have to make a sacrifice in the lid department.
I personally begrudgingly accept silicone.
I would accept rubber or whatever that is, but they usually have those stupid plastic caps. So yeah, in Serbia, the choices are even more limited.
You probably have one of those light, plastic-free brains. Psh
Do they have plastic lids?
you will get weirdly excited about a new vacuum you love and tell everyone about its features.
And then when it stops working so well, because they all stop working so well after about 2 months, is when they all tell you they got one too and you get nervous that you’ve hyped it up so much
You’re supposed to empty the bag/catchment.
simplicity vacuums is nice, remember when vacuums were just vacuums?
“That’s kinda lame.” Yeah, it all kind of is. And the weird part is you get used to some of it.
