    LPT: instead of throwing your playstation away after each game, try turning it off and on again to choose a new game.

      Then the Playstation gets dusty and soggy. Better to replace it after each use.

        You can put it in the fridge and It will be okay to play on for a couple more days.

            It’s absolutely safe to put your PS5 in the microwave.

              Good to know. I’ll put it in for a few minutes once it’s out the dishwasher. The dishwasher never quite fully dries my PS5, I usually have to put it in the tumble dryer afterwards with the silverware.

      …i just want to point out that you havent needed to power off a videogame console to change games since the original playstation in 1997 (or whenever that was, my memory of the Before Times is hazy)

        It’s not about money - I get them free from the local weekly charity giveaways - it’s about the environment. Did you know that PlayStations contain more plastic than half a toothbrush? And manufacturing ten of them uses more energy than five perforated toilet rolls?

        Every time you throw away a PS5, another penguin dies.

    Typical big box shopper. My local farmers market only carries Nintendo Switches. Can easily keep your grocery bill under $400.

      If that pisses you off, you should come to the store I work at. I shit you not, they sell INDIVIDUALLY PLASTIC-WRAPPED potatoes.

      Wasteful dicks.

            You can do that with bagged potatoes too. It’s called OPEN THE BAG, GRAB A POTATO, AND PUT IT ON A PLATE IN THE MICROWAVE. Lol.

            (Obviously wash it first.)

                (Also, for the record, in case you were serious, most potatoes tend to be sold in sacks or netted bags, so it’s the individually wrapped potatoes that are the odd ones out…)

                  I pick each potato like no one is watching and it may be my last then gently place it in a little thin non recyclable bag where it travels to a small dark cardboard box known as the house of the rising tater

      Honestly I need to start doing that. Most of the time when I buy a whole bunch of like 5 or 6 bananas, the last two end up brown and gross before I can eat them.

        I’m talking about buying them separately in contrast to buying them connected(no matter how many you get). If you will peel them before they get too bad, you can chop them up short ways or put them on a stick whole then freeze, they make good ice cream substitutions.

      Here’s a trick: bring a small knife to the supermarket. Separate the bananas you want to buy and nip out the tips where they were joined. This will remove 3 grams of banana that you would have paid for. Every self made billionaire knows this trick.

        That’s not milk, that’s white colored water…

        🙄

        “If the milk has all the proteins that make milk useful but doesn’t have fat, it isn’t milk!”

        Don’t skimshame! There’s nothing wrong with perverts drinking whatever they want!

            Sure! That’s why the perverts fine people who drink skim milk have to get that stuff elsewhere.

            I’m just saying don’t skimshame.

        Yeah for me they’re usually sold as “each”, so the bundle is just proportionally more.
