  • First I thought, that doesn’t sound right so I tried to read it too. Then I thought, well shit I’m reading the same thing but it can’t be right. I googled it, sure as shit you’re right. The book was originally German and old so I’m assuming it’s an old German thing that doesn’t translate well. Here’s an alternative cover I found with the same quote.

    How much of that is also survivorship bias. Why is it that if appliances were better back then people ended up buying new ones? Most people tend to only buy new appliances and furniture if the old one breaks regardless if there’s a new model. At least that has been my experience with the vast majority of people I’ve known at more than an acquaintance level. Most people aren’t privileged enough to be able to afford new stuff just cause.

I don’t get it, I love food and watch street food videos often as background but I don’t understand wanting to watch someone else eat insane amounts of food. At least with street food videos you’re only watching as someone prepares some good looking food, and for me, I use it to get new recipes or ideas for stuff to cook.
