While I’m sure there are people too lazy to spin a fork, keep in mind people like this person who may be suffering from arthritis or a neurological disease or nerve damage or a thousand other conditions that might impair their ability to do things as simple as spin a fork to eat spaghetti.
These are used with people who can’t grip well:
This is for Parkinsons’s:
For people who can’t even bend their joints:
Here’s a product that guides your hand from your plate to your mouth
This one holds a sandwich
Like I get it. I used to see things like the fork and think “that’s fuckin’ lazy” or that product that holds a gallon and you just tip it and pour. But then I started working around the disabled and impaired and found out that these products aren’t meant for lazy people, they’re meant for people who need help.
So maybe next time you see something, instead of thinking “Wow, are people that lazy?” just be grateful that you’re able to do the things you do every day and take for granted, like being able to feed yourself and wipe your own ass because you have enough coordination and bendy joints to do it.
This isn’t specualtion either; the majority of products from commericals that we think are funny or silly are autally MEANT for hte disabled.But they are marketed towards the abled because the disabled aren’t considered a viable enough demographic on their own.
the Snuggie for example? Created for wheelchair users.
This is actually really nifty.
oh my god of course the snuggie was for wheelchair users
The fact that anyone buys these products besides disabled people drastically lowers the price of them. These would normally cost hundreds if not thousands if dollars. Because if spent time and money creating it, the company wants to get more than that back. And they can’t do that if they sell and market these primarily to disabled people for $20-$40 a piece or whatever. They’d lose money on production. If they can sell hundreds of them to everyone, they can lower the price drastically and therefore disabled people don’t die while trying to scrape up the money to buy these things and be a bit more independent.
I never considered that last part and that’s actually genius
All three of these literally give the means of production back to the worker. You’re literally using your own capital and making a profit.
Also under communism, you wouldn’t get a choice in any of that. Last I checked, I still have the option to not be an uber driver or rent out my house but I’d also be compensated if I chose to participate.
7-10$ for a bottle of cheap alcohol of your choice at your local liquor store.
However much you want to spend on frozen fruit, juice, and yogurt
Alcohol takes longer to freeze than water, but most home freezers can get down to around 15-20 degrees F, which is where you want to aim.
Fill just over half your blender with frozen fruit
Slop some yogurt on top, idk like a half cup?
Pour wine into the blender until the ‘fill’ line is about a quarter-up.
BLEND THAT MOTHERFUCKER LIKE IT INSULTED YOUR GRANDMA.
You want the texture to be pretty thick (thicc), because a thick smoothie will usually harden beautifully in the freezer – forms a nice solid popcicle.
If its too thin, add more fruit.
Pour your new slurry of goodness into your popcicle molds
If there’s empty molds, repeat above steps for more delicious sludge. Maybe switch flavors?
Stuff into the freezer. Make sure freezer is set to ‘really freaking cold’ (alcohol freezes at a lower temp than water)
Wait a day or two.
(Eat the leftover smoothie)
VICTORY
If you’re not into alcohol, just replace the alcohol with a red or white juice and you’re good to go. I don’t recommend citrus fruits/juice because they can interact badly with dairy. You can leave out the yogurt and replace with half a banana or avocado if you REALLY want to use citrus and want to keep the smoothness.
You can also google delicious fruit smoothie recipes for ideas on fruit combinations.
You can also just use chocolate ice cream and coffee with bailey’s and kaluhua to make a fantastic chocolate popcicle.
Wine is only 11.5%–13.5% alcohol, so splashing a bit of vodka or rum (usually around 40% alcohol) can EASILY get the mix to have ‘more alcohol than a glass of wine)
It’s not millennials killing an industry. It’s capitalism. That’s how it works. Price too high? Someone is going to find a way around it. Either through a competitor, self, etc.
Opponents of the free enterprise system often denounce it as a system that revolves around money. I disagree with this appraisal but allow me to pose this question: Is a system that revolves around forceany better
