    And muesli is a superior version of overnight oats, and you should give it a try because it adds fruit and a lot of different nuts.

    Toss in some Greek yogurt, maybe some honey or maple syrup for flavor and sweetness, and it is freakin' delicious.

    And if you're interested, it'll make you regular as all hell.

    I'd be a little careful about what you add in the evening. Some things, like sweet stuff or milk yoghurt, might do more than just soak overnight.

    But yeah, I used to eat muesli this way: Grind up a mix of grains, and soak it.

    When did fuckers forget the word 'porridge'. Oats are an ingredient.

    Overnight oats are bad now? I think it's way superior compared to more expensive options like cereal.

    Its not "bad" its just got a similar ingredient list to "gruel" suggesting we've just rebranded feudalism in the 'grind culture' sphere. It fully depends on whether people are eating them by choice or financial necessity.

    That's just dumb. Peasants got WAY more days off.

    Because they needed those days for labor on themselves to not die. Like preserving food, making soap/candles, and doing things around the house.

    Thanks to capitalism, all of that time can now be spent toiling for your masters lords owners stake holders!

    Edit: Late edit to clarify that industrialization isn't capitalism, and that's what actually made it possible.

    If you eat overnight oats to save time to get to work, then you are a tool.

    If you eat overnight oats because you like the taste or because it saves on energy, then I don't judge.

    What's wrong with "saving" time? I'd rather make overnight oats and have a more chill morning rather than rush to make a meal.

    And low key overnight oats are way tastier than most porridges people make. Make it with almond milk and yogurt, smush in a banana, add cinnamon and honey and before eating sprinkle on some cashew nuts. Absolute god tier breakfast.

    No no no, sorry. Saving time is not the problem. Life is meant to be enjoyed and if it makes your morning more enjoyable and chill, then I am all for it. The problem is the corporate grind culture which proritizes work over life e.g. "make over night porridge so you don't waste time on breakfast to get to work faster"

    Raw porridge basically. Add some nuts and raisins, let it soak overnight. 😚👌

    Less slimy than cooked porridge imho.

    I don't like cold oats, BUT I do really like Steel Cut oats, in a slow cooker with a light timer attached to it on low.

    Mix it all up in the evening, light timer turns on 3 hours before I wake up, turns on crockpot, light timer turns off 30 minutes before I wake up. Nice hot, fully cooked breakfast in the morning.

    Do not listen to people who say it’s slimy. Idk what the hell they are putting in it for it to be slimy.

    My go-to is milk, brown sugar, and steel cut oats overnight. In the morning I’ll add diced strawberries and blueberries or banana. Awesome breakfast that’s extremely healthy. If you want even more sweetness you can add some maple syrup.

    Tiny homes and overnight oats are not the problem. Tiny homes can actually solve a lot of issues with the affordability crisis and are great for single people or couples. I am very satisified with my 600ish sqft house. Its about as big as most apartments i could rent anyway. Plus tiny homes have smaller bills to pay and less space to keep clean.

    What many people call a "tiny home" would have just been a regular home 50 years ago. We dont all need 3 story detached houses with 3 car garages and 2 acres of depressing monoculture grass lawns.

    Tiny homes are a problem. They are a bandaid to make people feel better. We need more Medium density housing that allows people to live with dignity instead of cramming them into dollhouses. And no a tiny house is not the same size as a regular house in the 70s. It's 400sqrft compared to 1500 sqrft , get real

    The official definition of a tiny home is 150-400 sqft but in practice i find people refering to something the size of a mobile home or smaller a "tiny home". This is typically anything under 1000 sqft which is plenty for singles or couples. It's still below the average home size, but the average home would also be housing 3-5, people rather than 1-2.

    I agree that medium density housing is also desperately needed, and those medium density units could still come in a range of sizes.

    Why does it have to be mixed? I'd rather dump a couple of instant oatmeal packets in a bowl, add a cup of microwaved water, then eat a banana, yogurt, egg etc alongside. Something I never got about the breakfast smoothies either.

    Smoothies are more portable than what you have described. It is also good for people trying to gain weight because liquids are easier to eat than solid foods. Most smoothies or overnight oats will also be healthier than instant oatmeals.

    Overnight oats are amazing though. We always called them summer oatmeal, and make them so fancy. I had some last week with pineapple tepache (so they were fermented), yogurt, cherries and pineapple and shedded coconut, this week I am doing the same, with macadamia nuts & pepitas not cherries.

    Tiny house I do not. I don't think most of them are even made to code here, not gonna be safe in a storm.

    Gig economy - I know that if I had a business I would never treat my workers like that, it's evil. You cannot even say your business is successful if you need slaves to make it so. It's not.

    I go crazy for my overnight oats. My current go-to flavor is blueberry matcha. Heat your milk of choice in a small saucepan, throw in a teaspoon of matcha powder for every cup of milk. I also like to add a little turmeric and ginger powder for immune support. I'll add that to my oats, then top it off with mango-flavored yogurt and cooked blueberries. When I eat it, I sprinkle homemade granola on top.

    Best breakfast ever, I don't give a FUCK if I'm a peasant bro. They can take my oats from my cold, dead hands.

    or maybe someone who is just getting through life? god damn, why we judging people for choosing to live within their means, now?

    smaller electric bills, don't have to heat an entire 2 storey house with empty rooms you don't use.

    maybe they just like overnight oats. they're good for you. they give you good poops.

    maybe they also just don't like a 9-5 schedule. that's an option you can choose.

    this is just shaming someone for living their life.

    Because, we are all "just getting through life" while thr Epstein class rapes our children and kills our families. Instead of fucking around playing the capitalism "game", they should be protesting in the streets and voting with the rest of us.

    how do you know they aren't? some dude eating oats in his boxers in his tiny kitchen isn't going to enable the Epstein class any more than the middle-income family home is.

    why is he the only one that gets shit on?

    Sharon with a 3 story home and a den with a grand piano that nobody has ever touched isn't on display for shaming here. someone living within their budget is.

    so...fuck that person I guess?

    You left out the "gig economy" part which is the crux of the post. Gig economy peoole are major contributors to the "fuck you, got mine" additude that fucks the rest of us over. The people who say "pull yourself up by your boot straps" & "You're not grinding hard enough".

    The "gig economy" sets up the pretext for the overnight oats & tiny house.

    "gig economy" can mean any number of things. programmers who are independent are technically gig workers. chefs, construction workers, stockers, writers, artists, etc.

    you're attaching some attitude to someone who works on a job by job basis for no reason except some fantasy you've created. i have never heard anyone who works gigs of any kind to say anything about bootstraps or "the grind". those are terms you read on Twitter.

    again, you are just spreading out a huge damning blanket over everyone who works that way due to your own biases.

    Theres nothing biased about the inherit fact that people who choose to work gig are choosing to work anti-union, anti-human jobs.

    ...where did you pull that from? your ass? how did we get to anti-union? you have some extremely glaring and obvious biases here. nothing about working these kinds of jobs is "anti-human". i guess if someone doesn't work the exact type of job you deem "good", they're a piece of shit?

    you desperately need to get off twitter and talk to real people. you're arguing like some obsessive cynic who has a narrow view of what's acceptable as fair as living goes.

    I'm on lemmy. Do you genuinely believe in your heart of hearts that I would ever touch a platform like twitter?

    Have you seen the discourse in gig economy circles when a union is brought up? I have, and they scream at yell and kick at you that a union will ruin their income, that you should just work a "normal job" if you want a union.

    If you consider someone being isolated the entire time theyre working to be pro-human, I'd hate to see your social life.

    Living should be fun and workers shouldnt have to kill themselves to live.

    no, I obviously haven't. because I don't chill with people who are anti-union. and those who work gigs I know never sit around talking shit about unions. nobody literally said anything about that. nobody said anything about unions or anti-unions. you did. that was all you.

    it has nothing to do at all with what we were talking about.

    also, a lot of those on the autism spectrum work better alone than with others. and can get TONS more work done as a result and their social life does not suffer. lots of people can work much more effeciantly by themselves if that's just their personality. but thanks for lumping every single person into one category again. 👍

    every comment you are making screams of "I don't like it so its bad." or you're just pulling random topics and inserting them into a conversation with no real connection to the topic whatsoever.

    So because I know of the community around the gig economy, I'm "pulling random topics and inserting them into a conversation with no real connection to the topic whatsoever."

    because I responded to your comments with my own lived experience, it had no connection.

    nice job pulling the autism card on a person with autism btw.
