        Uh, in a kinda fucked up way ngl:

        RatX® coats the lining of a part of the rodent’s lower gut. This coating of the “fine hairs” in the lower gut, called villi, disrupts the messaging system to the rodents brain, causing it to stop drinking water. This leads to dehydration, blood thickening, kidney dysfunction, coma and eventual death. It also leads to a prcoess called “mummification”, which means the body of the diseased rodent will dry out, rather than decompose normally. This means a 95% reduction in smell.

          It should be noted that generally the suffering of dehydration is caused by the brain telling you you need to drink water, much like with breathing and eating. All in all it’s a lot more humane than a lot of poisons.

            Good to know, honestly was hoping it wasn’t that bad (all things relative). At least it’s not a glue trap 😅

      You have $3 to spend and can pick any combination of items. The items in the top row cost $5 each, the items in the middle row cost $4 each, and the items in the bottom row cost $1 each.

      Spoiler

      Since you only have $3, you can only afford to choose from items in the bottom row.

        Yeah that’s what it seemed like. I guess I just didn’t really get the joke. Maybe it’s an existing format this is playing off

    Good and cheap is a free cookbook based on the food stamp budget of $4 per day. It’s a free pdf from many sources including the authors website if you sign up for a newsletter or something and paper copies are very inexpensive.

      That’s based on 2024 prices. I’d say it’s probably $8-12 / day based on food price inflation.

      I’m sure it’s still a good book, though

        The food inflation isn’t evenly distributed across all groceries. I hit $6 a day with little snacks and workout oriented meals with greater caloric content and higher Q factor in a bunch of different ways.

        If you want to bring down your own grocery bill and go from zero to sixty on cooking at home I can’t recommend that book highly enough. You don’t have to suffer.

        E: oh yeah, the book title and premise are based on 2015 prices too.
