Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Not really if you know how to cook.

It's more expensive in time and energy, though.

Same answer as to CXORA above. From my experience quality food is usually more expensive. You can also compare something healthy you cook vs something unhealthy you throw into microwave.

It's still going to be cheaper to cook whatever it is from scratch than buying it pre-made. Unless you're intentionally buying expensive versions of every ingredient.
