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.

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

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I prefer parsnips.

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

Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME

[–] artifex@piefed.zip 33 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

I heard submarines can take care of our problems.

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

A fine wine, with a vintage of 1789.

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

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

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

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

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] ShutUpWesley@piefed.zip 14 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] perishthethought@piefed.social 2 points 2 hours ago

Ha ha, Lemmy never forgets

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 hours ago

in this economy? eat your turnips plain and be happy

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Even the thrifty meat is expensive.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Turnips aren't even cheap where I live.

[–] Sunforged@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] Yew@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Just an idea but maybe remove tariffs on food?
