The apps are bullshit but the slower cycles take less water and energy, which is definitely a positive.
Idk why the speed is a big deal to folks, it's not like you have to sit there and babysit it, just hit play and go do something else

Turns out lugging millions of heavy metal boxes around is a tough thing to make climate friendly
I wonder if we were developing petroleum refining and engines now instead of them being established and subsidised, if we would also find them to be unfeasible. I know petroleum products are ludicrously energy dense, but the whole process to make it usable is pretty intense, the infrastructure needed to get it everywhere is extensive, it leaks, it burns, and it smells bad.
It would be interesting to see the modern day cost associated with building out and maintaining gas infrastructure for cars
Yeah when I start ranting about the government's cheese caves under Missouri people think I've finally cracked, but they're real. It started as a program to help farmers during the great depression, but by now it's just socializing the dairy industry and keeping prices artificially high. I don't think they sold it to fund the program though, they distributed it through food security programs.
There's gotta be better foods for the government to stockpile and distribute to the hungry than cheese though, it's tasty, but it's not great for you and it's not filling many nutritional gaps. Not to mention lots of people can't even eat it without getting sick
