I discovered yesterday that they no longer sell 16 ounce containers of ricotta cheese. They’re all now 15oz or 30oz. So if you have a recipe that needs four cups of cheese you have to either adjust the rest of the recipe down or deal with having a 1/4 cup less cheese than you really need.
Fuck capitalism.

This is literally “buying gems” in free to play games never amounting to the cost of a typical item, slightly under or over.
- Gork ( @Gork@lemm.ee ) 25•11 months ago
You could buy 240 containers of ricotta cheese and 60 cups of cheese that way you’ll have the exact amount you need.
This is the Hebrew National 7 hot dog to 8 hot dog bun pack solution.

They’re doing the same thing with sauces and broths. Assholes.

This is why we need an ISO Toilet Paper Standard.
- Senseless ( @Senseless@feddit.de ) 54•11 months ago
There are several:
- DIN EN ISO 12 625-4: 2005 (Dry tear resistance and perforation resistance)
- DIN EN ISO 12 625-5:2005 (wet tear resistance)
- DIN EN ISO 12 625 -9:2005 (Puncture resistance)
- DIN EN ISO 12 625-3:2005 (Paper thickness in use)
- EN ISO 12 625-8:2004 (Water retention capacity)
Yet there seems to be no standard for the size or number of sheets in a roll.

Or just buy a bidet spray. Simple to install, no waste of paper and you can control the angle without having to touch the crevices.
- poppy ( @poppy@lemm.ee ) 18•11 months ago
I like my bidet, but I have no interest in letting my labia drip-dry so I will continue to buy toilet paper thank you.

You don’t have a hair dryer in your bathroom? /S

Hmm is the average toilet paper roll empty?
- Nailbar ( @nailbar@sopuli.xyz ) 5•11 months ago
If you account for all rolls that ever existed, it’s pretty close to empty

I normally buy Charmin ultra soft at Costco.
I was at target and we were low, so just grabbed some there.
Turns out the rolls (cardboard tube and all) were like an inch less wide. For some reason that extra inch makes me comfortable, and I’ve been so angry at the Target rolls while I try to use them up. I have big hands… this kind of shrinkflation can get messy.

We need a new metric standard. Introducing the 💩.
112.6 standard rolls = 1k💩

This is why you always have to show your units!

Doesn’t the price tag on the shelf usually have a break down per sheet or sqft?
- edric ( @scytale@lemm.ee ) English4•11 months ago
Yeah. I just look at the price and how many layers (i.e. 2 ply, 3 ply) there are, and decide from there.

I find it scary that some people are afraid to do simple arithmetic and the most basic geometry…

Do you not see the made up measurements?
- Mega Plus
- Rolls
- Double Plus
- Super Mega
- Regular
You’d have to sit there for 8 minutes converting all of the “measurements”, figure out how much is in each package, and then only after doing it for all rolls and brands, you’ll be able to compare.
Easy math, but takes time. No one said it’s hard. It’s just time consuming.
