      At least they aren’t packaged each with the plastic wrap.

          I do not know if that is better or worse, but that is something definitely.

            Definitely worse-- Japan has a huge problem with waste, and a ton of that is because of their culture around packaging things.

              I’ve noticed this and I’d like to learn more about it. I’ve always appreciated the careful thought they put into packages or containers… But does it gotta be plastic?! Agh.

      They would go bad instantly. I would assume these would be only suitable for banana bread. Reminds me of prechopped veggies that are way overpriced.

          Oh that makes more sense. But they should wrap the bananas individually so they don’t brown as quick

          Edit: wait, if someone with a disability can’t peel a banana, how will they open this package?

            I think you’re coming to a realization.

          Please stop with justifying things that are terrible for people and the world. If these items are needed for people with disabilities, you don’t take a natural container, remove it and cover it in plastic. The solution would be to create something that is created once and does the job required indefinitely.

            You may not think it’s not popular and a waste,but that’s because the people who need and buy these items are generally doing their shopping when you’re at school/work.

        I think falconry is a pretty smart way to hunt in Mongolia when you don’t have any tech.

    My high school mandatory epilepsy training for teachers and staff because the art teacher stepped over me while I was seizing on the floor during class. Other students had to carry me to the nurse because I couldn’t walk right after the seizure. Teacher wouldn’t even call the nurse to let her know what was up

    Specific models of dumpsters found in national parks. Apparently making sure that the smartest bear can’t get into a dumpster while making sure the dumbest person can is a grey zone.

      There have been national park visitors who have asked at what time the animals are let out of their cages and put back in them. Then again, that might be an education issue rather than a stupidity problem. Would it be ethical to experiment on these people by suggesting “we’ll tell you if you can get that dumpster open”?

      Caveat: Having never seen those dumpsters, I have the nagging feeling that I could well be outsmarted by the bears.

        Caveat: Having never seen those dumpsters, I have the nagging feeling that I could well be outsmarted by the bears.

        There’s another factor though: The bear will keep trying over and over if it smells something in there, for hours if it feels like it. Tourists, meanwhile, might not even try again if they can’t get it open right away.

          1000%. It’s a miracle when someone uses the trash cans or pack in/out at all.

          Leave no trace isn’t common knowledge, nor respected by lots of people, especially the less experienced or invested. Even the slightest inconvenience can be the difference between the can and the ground.

        That first can very well be a mixup between zoos, those parks where you can drive your car through and look at animals and national parks. I can fully see people getting it mixup a bit. So I would put that under education miss.

        And regarding the dumpsters I have been outsmarted by a child proff container so I will show respect to the dumpster.

      JC Penney went through a period where they did away with their perpetual “sale” and normalized their pricing. Their sales tanked as a result. Apparently a lot of people who shop there are idiots.

        The one time I went while they were just offering low prices was awesome. Just $8/shirt, no coupons or sales to turn a $20 shirt into a ln $8 one. Most people really like seeing a big number then having to pay a smaller one though.

        I hate that “marketing” is just a science of bypassing peoples’ rationality to sell them on short-term emotion, then reinforcing and encouraging stupidity to keep the loop going.

        The former SVP of Apple Retail Ron Johnson, specifically. He actually thought the people who shopped at JC Penny were the same as the people who shopped at an Apple Store.

      this was my first thouht too lol

      i also feel that schools are made for people more willing to learn, so perhaps schools are moreso made for ‘smart’ people
