Jokes on them, I love turnips(especially roasted with parsnips, carrots, and sweet potatoe)

Guys, don't worry. I've been told we're all in the same boat.

sweet potatoe

Dan?!

I heard submarines can take care of our problems.

Well there goes my shot at the Whitehouse. Guess I'll go practice my Dean Scream

Just an idea but maybe remove tariffs on food?

I bet we can commission a lot of ones from Ocean Gate at a great price!

I do cook basically everything at home from scratch, it is way cheaper, but turnips? They’re flavorless and gross and frankly not that cheap why buy a turnip when you could buy a beet or carrot or potato for the same price? f tier vegetable

I'll just trade turnips with Elijah Wood like god intended.

Turnips aren't even cheap where I live.

Ha ha, Lemmy never forgets

in this economy? eat your turnips plain and be happy

Even the thrifty meat is expensive.

Turnips are an under rated food. One of these days they will be trendy again.

No cake?

I've got a few old MadCatz controllers knockin' around here somewhere I can donate to the cause!

As with most things, the French have a solution as well

Maybe they're healthy? I wouldn't know, I hate them too.

I dunno about where you live, but price per weight turnips are usually the most expensive vegetable even when in season. And they still manage to taste meh when roasted and seasoned

A fine wine, with a vintage of 1789.

Can still get cheap raw whole chooks for about the same as tomatoes or apples here in Australia

When will rich people learn do with less?

We've got billionaires and mega millionaires stinking up the place like dragons sitting on their hoards. Seems like there are some easy fixes that don't involve turnips.

Well Jerusalem artichokes are probably not very popular now, there's a free slot

I prefer parsnips.

I'm so mad that oxtail, cow tongue, and skirt steak cost the same as the rest of the beef. Chicken hearts are still cheap as hell but I don't like chicken hearts.

Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME

Parsnips are good too.

Swedes (rutabaga) > turnips.

I could definitely find a way to involve a turnip with what I assume you're inferring.

Eat The Rich

I developed a pretty impressive list of possibilities within five seconds of reading your comment.

Are you trying to make turnips into the next fad food thus increasing their price dramatically like kale or bok choy!?

People like to meme on the Logitech controller but that was honestly one of the smarter decisions made in that sub. Decade of development, hundreds of plugins, thousands of support threads for integration issues. It honestly sounds better than a custom control solution that probably would not get enough test cycles to check every possibility.

I mean we could hollow them out and freeze them and put a little Chinese seasoning inside them

I got one going

Elon Musk definitely had a massive pile of turnips for dinner.

The Boomers legitimately do not comprehend that they largely did not teach their children how to cook.

They'll complain about it, and belittle you for not knowing how, whine about your door dash habit... but it never registers in their neuron scented lead compartments that they were the ones who failed to pass on skills like cooking, and values like frugality.

But I mean that's par for the course. Narcissists elect a narcissist rapist president, that's your problem to deal with now bucko, just accept it, life's tough, blah blah blah I'm completely allergic to acountability, the world exists to worship me, wheee!

Eh, I taught myself. You have to learn to take care of yourself at some point, whether it's fair or not.

Especially with the internet and youtube, there's very little excuse not to learn how to cook.

A lot of us grew up with shitty parents, had to figure out survival on our own as teenagers. I don't blame them. People fuck up tons of important things, especially being parents. They're just other irresponsible people that don't have their own lives figured out. You win by being better than they were, figuring out your own shit and living better lives. Sometimes you just have to get out at 18 and figure shit out for yourself. It's not the end of the world and people have been doing that for a very long time.

Chicken and bean soup: 3 cans of Great Northern Beans (or any white bean) rinsed, 2 12 ounce cans of chicken breast (or a 1lbs of uncooked chicken breast that you cook and shred,) 2 carrots diced, 2 celeries diced, 1 yellow onion diced, 2-3 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon smoked parika, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp rosemary, 1 tablespoon bay leaf, salt and pepper to taste.

Fry the diced onions in olive oil to soften them up, add the carrots and celery. While they simmer for a bit to soften up open and rinse the beans. Rinse them good till the water runs clean this will help with reducing bean farts. Toss those beans in a crock pot set on low. Open the cans of chicken and drain and toss them in. Add a bit of water to the mix. Then throw in your veggies. Stir. Add your seasoning. Taste. You'll probably add a good amount of salt till it's yummy tasting. You can also add a bit more of the spices if you'd like. Cook in the crock pot for a few hours.

This is a cheap (like $10) meal that will provide something like 6-9 servings of breakfast soup. Super easy to make.

Need new clothes? These potato sacks and flour bags make excellent dresses!

They’re not any more healthy than any other vegetable I listed, they’re definitely not as healthy as beets.

I live on the edge of an agricultural valley and they’re usually about the same as beets

The logistics of doing this reminded of the time my brother sent a picture of him bleeding a deer to the wrong family group chat

Would your last name happen to be Schrute?

There was a wired model available, but he used the wireless with known connectivity/battery issues. It's just another dumb decision driven by hubris at the end of the day.
It definitely is a great controller, until it's not.

I was just thinking of parsnips as a very tasty root vegetable

A turnip would suggest desperation. Also, with the deportations blowing away (some) the help in the fields, what veg will show in the supermarkets? The root veg will probably be okay since you can pluck them with a tractor, I believe?

This reads as exactly the kind of thing boomers complain about: That young people complain how it is someone else's fault instead of simply fixing it themselves.

Swedes are so much nicer than turnips. I subbed out a swede for turnip in my root veg rosti recipe and it ruined it. I also once nearly sliced my thumb off when trying to cut a swede. That's the only thing I don't like about swedes.

Turnips aren't nice, I don't get why anyone likes them. They're really only good for jokes.

!Now I feel sorry for the turnips for being mean to them.!<

I also taught myself, yes, not being taught something is not the same thing as having no responsibility for learning that thing, and yes, taking control of your own life and making up for the defecits of your parents as best you can is a good idea, often vital.

But the point I am trying to make is that at scale, not everyone eventually teaches themself... and teaching your kids how to cook is... or at least was, one of the most important, oldest, traditional elements of being a parent to children. It is one of the most fundamental essential life skills to pass on.

And Boomers just largely decided they just didn't need to do that, at a broad scale. And they are abberant in this respect. They are the first generation in at least US history to just assume that things they were taught or had the opportunity to learn ... were simply universal and innate.

The spoiled narcissist generation broke a literally ancient human tradition, because they're terrible at nurturing.

They also tend to just mock people who don't know skills they know. Psychologically, what that does is make people feel like incapable idiots... many people who are consistently discouraged are less likely to believe they even can learn a new skill.

The 'kick the kids out at 18' is also largely a phenomenon widely popularized by Boomers... before them, it was much more common to have a multi generational household, or at least to house the kids untill they had their own capability to move out on their own.

Boomers cause problems and then blame other people for having to deal with the problems they caused... they can't figure out the cause and effect, they can't be responsible if it means acknowledging that they caused the problem.
