    well that’s very specifically why you’re having a panic attack in a grocery store: we’re evolved to handle occasional clearly defined threats like hungry lions, so when we’re then instead exposed to constant low-level threats that we can’t do shit about, our brains frazzle out.

        The modern wolves are the corporations responsible for shrinkflation, and causing us all decision fatigue by offering too many different brands with too many different meaningless-but-slightly different options.
