250 years ago, pineapples used to be so expensive that people would rent them for parties for guests to look at and say "wow, you can afford a pineapple?" They often wouldn't be eaten until just about rotten.

    well they belonged to someone, but I came in in the morning one day and heard all the cluck cluck so I went through the door I heard it from and there they were, some chickens in boxes next to some lockers. Later on in the day i guess people complained so they moved the chickens outside

    ...I can see PC, mouse and keyboard. Where's screen? Do they hide it under the desk when not present?! Is the pineapple a screen?! Do they rely on blind accessibility aids via phone to navigate the PC?!

    Oh, that’s a thing now… If I ever start worrying about plastic, I may have to consider buying one of those.

    Now that I looked it up, I found that there’s also a model made of glass. It’s way cheaper, and should get the job done. One made of steel would be more durable though. Oh wait, it’s an American product. Well, it was a fun idea while it’s lasted.

    yeah for a long time my aeropress was my only coffee maker, for both home and camping. I really like that it fits in a little travel pouch along with the beans and grinder. A few months ago I bought a drip style coffee maker and its not great but its convenient to just put a scoop of beans in, and hit start and walk away, since it has a large tank of water and everything. its not as good but makes it easy to make a cup of coffee during the nightshift of watching our newborn

    After I changed jobs my Aeropress got relegated to the camping supplies.

    Once or twice a year it gets used and every time I say “damn, this is coffee is better than what I make at home”. Exact same beans.

    Yeah I didn't like coffee until I worked at a shop and had to commute on a train to get there around 5am. The morning coffee started to smell good and then the ability to poop on command before we started work was great

    I never liked coffee. Thought it wasn't for me.

    Then I found a good blend. And I didn't want the hassle of making a coffee and Aeropress makes it super easy. Now I drink a lot more coffee.

    True story.
