Gig economy
Gig economy
What's wrong with overnight oats? I really like them.
I read it as cutting through the spin. We use contemporary words like overnight oats, instead of words like gruel that have strong connotations of poverty, for essentially the same food, to obscure the fact that we are the same working class as medieval peasants were. There's nothing wrong with gruel; and we're just not as far removed from peasantry as we've been led to believe.
Some people get a kick out of making you feel bad about anything and everything you enjoy by reframing it in the worst possible light.
Oh, you bicycle to work? Enjoy breathing in all that carbon monoxide from the cars passing you and a greatly increased risk of dying due to a driver not thinking that you're a human being. Hope you don't cross a street and inconvenience a driver you selfish prick!
Oh, you eat primarily vegetarian with only a little bit of meat? One, meat is still murder, you're a prick. Two, of course you would mention it. Three, fuck you and your entire family and your entire gene pool you piece of shit.
I could probably keep going but you get it right? Don't let the things that you enjoy be taken away from you by people who are chasing clout and will say anything that they possibly can in order to get it.
Way to miss the point. It's about some people acting like these are choices rather than "this is the best I can do". Would you really prefer the inconsistency of the gig economy if well paying consistent jobs were available? Would you eat rice and beans for every meal if you actually had the choice? Wouldn't you prefer just a few more square feet in your tiny home(maybe in the kitchen or bathroom)?
Acting like people are making all of these choices out of genuine desire and not a good helping of "this is what I have to do to survive" is what the meme is criticizing and what you on your high horse up there failed to see.
For some people eating oats = poor, people with money eat bread and eggs and bacon and cereals in the morning...
I put some oats in water last night to finally try oatmeal🥺
Tiny homes are fine if that's all you need or want. I don't know it overnight oats are. They're right about the gig economy though, that's some terrible bullshit right there
Its just your standard rolled oats with the other goodies and your preferred liquid stuck in a jar overnight, ready to go right out of the fridge in the morning.
Personal favorite is cinnamon roll flavored! There are some great recipes out there.
I think it's the combo, but definitely the tiny home pulled it all together
I build a few tiny homes over the past 10 years. I think they are cool and all and it's usually people who are often away for skiing, surfing, mountaineering. These kind of people. What's the point of a huge house that you don't want of need. My biggest problems with it is that they are not actually super cheap. Or at least not proportional.
I make overnight oats nearly every night.
I use steel cut oats in the slow cooker over night, add dates, apple, cinnamon and chia seeds.
It is ready for me before I leave for work at ~6:10, and ready for the rest of the family when they have breakfast at 7:30.
What is not to like.
Not getting to eat breakfast with them
I get after school activities with them.
Hot overnight oats? I always made them in a mason jar in the fridge. My favorite was 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup of milk, all in a jar and then fill the rest of the jar up with frozen blueberries and strawberries (cut ones). Close, put in fridge, eat cold the next morning. The oats will have soaked up the liquid and gotten soft. It's a nice cold cereal and quick to pour into a bowl, stir a bit, and chow down.
i wish i was a peasant
peasants had the church that would feast them like 100 times a year for saint days and shite liketh that
i are a serf
I mean, if you tithed, so they were feeding you with your own food. Also not a real feast most of the time.
And while the church wanted a tithe, the manor lord required you to work one or more days per week on his field, using your own tools. This was rent. There might've also been monetary rent in addition to work rent. And in addition to the church tithe, the manor lord wanted a tithe too. You couldn't choose to rent somewhere else, either - while the manor lord didn't own you, he owned the piece of land you lived on, could dictate your terms, and you'd have to pay a fine for moving away to another manor lord's service. If he sold the parcel of land, you'd have to do all the same to the new landlord. If you could manage to hide in a city for a year + one day, you'd be free. But if you got caught, you'd be imprisoned until your lord came and picked you up.
These were the general rules in my area, others would differ. Obviously they changed over time and so on. And much of this is from the chronicles and those were written by the Order, so the real situation might've been worse even.
There's plenty wrong with our current situation and we seem to be sliding back towards serfdom, but serfdom is definitely worse than what we have now and we can NOT afford to go back.
you can criticise the world without resorting to past = bad which often hides things we have lost.
Also oats are nutritious, delicious, and efficient.
How about pointing out how hard you work to afford food that is often thrown out lest it undermine keeping you slaved to "the economy" etc.
No actually I'm not done. Wanting fewer material things is good actually. Opulence need not manifest in terms of the aquisition of territory and things. What if you have a tiny home and breakfast gruel but you get idle time, community, gorgeous views, freedom etc.
the problems with society aren't that you can't eat figs every meal and stroll around your estate, it's that mere subsitence demands your soul.
Aside from debating oats, peasants had more time off than we did.
Beat me to it 😛
OP has upset the peasantry.
Lotta cope and seethe in here as they flay the messenger for bein so rude in handin' em a mirror they don't like the look of. I get it yeah? But they're mad in the wrong direction
Overnight oats are really good for my digestion and diet. What, you want me eating steak and eggs?
It’s more mocking the rebranding from something terrible, to something more appealing.
Meanwhile, I have a black coffee for breakfast to help concentrate my hatred in order for me to get through the day..
If you eat overnight oats for your tummy troubles the post clearly isn't for you. If you eat it because you can't afford other meals it is.
Well if you eat it because youb can't afford anything else you're quite bright as it's quite the savings comparitively, most would spend more money on a worse meal!
Not surprising, our gut flora love the stuff. My old microbio lecturer used to always get his class to run an experiment where people would test the growth of different types of good bacteria found in the gut using different food sources. Some would be random foods, others would be bio active drink made for the task and, ever present, was porridge (about the same thing). Porridge always won.
It also has one of, if not the lowest glycemic index of all carbs.
Gruel is top tier
And they're amazing for your diet in general. M-F such an easy no brain option for a meal. Make individual containers Sunday night. Food for the rest of the week.
Without a call to action, this is just an insult.
make your own call to action, decide for yourself. you don't need random strangers on the internet showing you the directiosn. they already showed you where you stand, go and make your own path.
I feel like my oats have been disparaged. The peasantry demands an apology.
I mean, yes but have you had good overnight oats? So good!
Oats are fucking awesome.
I hate it 😔
Put dried fruits and spices from around the world in mine I eat better than emperor's
Just a victim of capitalists.
