Talking about bathing in pasta, there's a famous singer in Brasil called Junior, part of the duo Sandy & Junior.

He famously posed naked on a bathtub full of pasta. However the studio didn't have enough money neither for a bathtub nor for that much pasta. So they did this:

Junior, naked, on a small plastic basket filled with Miojo, a cheap brand of instant noodles

Sadly I couldn't find a good photo

EDIT: He did this for a magazine picturing all capital sins. His was glutony

    I've got a friend who was drinking 3 shots of coffee a day just to not melt from exhaustion, if not more. He decided to stop completely, sleept horibly for a week then he was great. Now one cup of coffee gets him really eletric.

    I've been almost a year without drinking considerable quantities of alcohol and it feels pretty good. In fact now I dislike drinking. Recently I drank half a shot of vodka and almost threw up.

    I'd think it's not about going to 0 coffee and staying like that, but about building a better relation to it. Like medicine. Take it when you need it, don't overdo it.

    How would abolishing work? Just delete the company and fuck the clients?

    I, too, hate monopolies and centralization, but that just seems inconvenient

    Like, Valve's steam has reached past 15%, would everyone lose access to the games?

    I think forcing interoperability between similar services would help with this. No more company-specific printer ink. No more "exclusive" chat services.

    If a service is bad you can just change it without having to change who still use it/what uses it
