God look at all that slop, looks like food stamp day at Walmart

>>18579837
she's paying by check, sir.
I wish you little ghetto rats could read.

>>18579842
He was commenting on the quality of food nigger
He only said food stamp day because that’s what niggers with food stamps buy on the first of the month
Learn what context is you stupid double nigger

>>18579842
>looks like
>is
These are two different things btw

>>18579837
And yet people were still thin back then, how?

>>18579870
Yeah? well, see you in 3 days jackass

>>18579878
they used sugar and wheat instead of HFCS and soy

>>18579820
>paying even $1 for goyslop
You do know where that money is going, right?

>>18579900
Palestine, in the form of rockets?

>>18579820
the women also looked a FUCK TONS better than today's "woman"

>>18579878
Corn syrup hasn't been added to everything yet.

>>18579878
That's a year's worth of junk food, by 70s standards. People eat more of that shit now because they're unhappy.

>>18579878
They smoked and drank more than they ate

>>18579820
Nice

$96 in 2022 money

>>18579878
They simply ate less calories back then; increased consumption of added fats (cheep seed oils for the most part) have made up the bulk of the increase in calories people eat over the last few decades.

>>18579820
My bank still offers paper checks for a fee. Should I order some and use them like a Boomer, /ck/? How much does it annoy the cashiers when someone busts out the 'ol checkbook after being told the bill?

>>18580811
Most grocery stores don't accept them any more because idiots kept writing checks that would bounce. Even if they did, the wagie would have no idea what to do with it.
It's honestly more hassle than it's worth. The checks won't clear for like a week so you have no idea how much money you have available in your account unless you balance your checkbook often.
I still use them to pay my utility bills because those fucks charge a 3% fee to use debit or credit

>>18580782
shitty visual. the variance in ring sizes distorts the data. would be much better as segmented bar graph.

>>18580811
I write my gardener paper checks.

>>18580811
>only one checkout open at most post pandemic since groceries store all added more self checkouts
>some asshole whips out a check book
>zoomer cashier doesn't know what to do
>assistant manager comes over
>he doesn't either
>oldest manager on duty comes over and figures it out
you will make everyone in the store hate you so do it to troll if you want I guess

>>18580811
>My bank still offers paper checks for a fee
Bro they arent phased out of existence lmao. I just had to order some more for the first time since i opened my bank account 15 years ago. They gave me like 6 check books to start with

>>18579820
I'm so happy we fucked everything up for these insufferable zoomers, makes me laugh how they twist and whine all day

>>18579878
Smaller portions
You can actually measure this pretty accurately using the McDonald's menu
Back then a big Mac or 6 mcnuggets, medium fries and soda was an appropriate meal with maybe a soft serve cone if you were going all out
Now people get 3 mcdoubles, 10 nuggets, fries and soda or one of those massive burgers meals
Sure people did barbecues and potlucks but the people who did that also spent all afternoon playing football

>>18580811
I realized I'm getting old when I stayed at an AirBnB with some friends, I wrote a check to the person who paid for the house and he laughed at me. Yeah most younger people use venmo or whatever else now to transfer specific amounts of money but I dont want that shit, not everyone has venmo but everyone can cash a check.

>>18581219
If you have a smart phone(its 2022 everyone does) then you have venmo. Stop being a fucking slow ass boomer

>>18581197
This, old people still eat small portions, when I visit my grandma she acts like we're still in the great depression
also refuses to use a bank so when im leaving ill snag some twenties from under the bed for smokes kek

>>18581315
Not him but im not filling my phone with a million stupid apps. You want my money cash the check

>>18581355
>>18581315
Use cash you freaks

>>18581315
kys chud

>>18581355
>refuses to install 1(one) useful app
>prefers to carry around a checkbook and pen
where the fuck do you even put it lmao?

>>18581383
Can you guys not transfer using a banking app? Why do you need a whole other app for it

>>18579878
Because that would last them a month instead of a couple of days like todays fatasses.

I use my card, I don't trust the smart phone shit

>>18581315
>just feed the botnet
>it's 2022
>everyone is doing it

>>18579820
it's kinda crazy how similar that looks to a modern day shopping trip, lots of those products are still around and the packaging is all nearly identical. I guess food has peaked.

Wonder how much those two cans of Pringles were or the bag of Fritos

>>18581517
I wonder if that Tony's frozen pizza was good.

>>18581315
>>18581383
Venmo is owned by Paypal, and it's highly probable Google Pay will also start fining people for wrongthink

>>18579926
Proof?

>>18579820
NOTICE LITERALLY ALL OF THE LABELS ARE POINTED TOWARDS YOU.

>>18580782
i don't like this chart

>>18581315
>If you have a smart phone(its 2022 everyone does) then you have venmo.
I do not have venmo.
the banks here do cash transfers without the need for third party apps.

>>18579820
>>18580782
>>18580811
>>18581549
that will be 17 and 4 shillings

>>18581383
Retard i have cash i carry around and just write a check for anything over 500. I dont carry around the checkbook i know if im gonna be writing a check so i fill it out at home and take it to my friend

>>18581562
>£17/4s pre-decimalisation
That would be worth £314.45 in today's money, that bint's being ripped off.

>>18579878
Goyslop hadn't been perfectly formulated yet.

>>18581407
Either kill the demons or shut the fuck up. Being a retard who just goes NOPE NOT DOING IT until you’re forced to cuck out doesn’t count as resistance you fucking moral coward.

You’re like if the Unabomber was doing nothing other than wandering around making fun of people who watched television.

>>18579837
ruffles are good, fuck you

>>18581219
I know a guy like you. He refused to use his credit card for anything besides utilities so he tried to get me to buy a gpu for him while we were at an electronics outlet. I knew the autistic fucker would try to use the opportunity to give it to me through a check so I refused and he tried to write the check to the outlet which the zoomer manager refused.
Sale was over by the time he got his girlfriend to order it online the next night. Deserved. You stupid fuckers always cry zoomer when nobody wants to use your obsolete money transfering method.

>>18579820
>Not a single vegetable on sight
Oh so that is why americans are the way they are...

>pay by phone
>get new phone
>it randomly doesn't work or I have to try 10 times for it to work
>have unintentionally annoyed probably hundreds of cashiers
>old (Chinese) phone worked perfectly every time
FUCK SAMSUNG

>>18579820
Yum tonys

>>18581219
Sure anon, I will trust you that this piece of paper is real money, take time off work, get in line at a bank and if anything goes wrong, surely you'll just cover the cost in cash later, yes? Sounds reliable and convenient

>>18579878
How are those same Americans now?

>>18579820
Yah and the median income was 11k vs 50k today. Whats your point?

TO THE ANONS LOSING IT OVER THAT IMAGE. IT'S FAKE, THE TWO WOMEN ARE MODELS BEING PAID TO POSE IN THAT PICTURE, ALL THAT FOOD IS FOOD THAT AFTER THE PHOTO IS TAKEN IT CAN BE PUT BACK IN THE SHELVES THAT'S WHY THERE'S NO MEAT, VEGS, ICE CREAM OR ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES REFRIGEREATION.

>>18582802
you can deposit checks through your bank's phone app
yes, you can

>>18580811
>>18581045
I know the local Walmart near me still takes checks; they just run them through a little scanner/printer thing at the register and it processes the check as an electric payment. You do not even have to write anything on the check itself, you confirm the amount on the pinpad & sign on that. It takes only slightly longer than a debit card transaction. And of course lets Walmart avoid bounced checks.

>>18582895
You say there is no food that requires refrigeration yet there is clearly a frozen pizza in the picture. Curious!

>>18581839
I don't get it. The store didn't accept cash or EFTPOS? Your story makes no sense unless he was trying to bounce that check.

>>18579878
Real cane sugar and Tallow and lard instead of HFCS and SNEEDGOYLS.
No shit...
YWN eat a hostess fruit pie fried in tallow ever again.

>>18579820
So many carbs!

>>18581070
It's also bullshit.
This is some kind of coverup for just how shitty the replacement ingredients starting in the 80s really are.
The SOURCE should tell you everything you need to know.
>Economic Research Service
I was a 70s kid. There was TONS of fat and sugar in many prepackaged foods--It wasn't all that rare to get a bag of chips that had a puddle of oil in the bottom. It wasn't the norm either.
While it's true that we were much more active as a society then too, the change in "Sugars and Fats" has made all the difference in the world.
CICO is BULLSHIT.

>>18582841
Dead and skinny

>>18579878
goyslop wasn't invented yet. No HFCS, they still used whole grains in a lot of things, seed oils while increasing were not at the levels of today.

>>18582984
Also, the use of seed oils coincides with the low fat craze that happened in the 80s. Durrrr fat will clog your arteries, just buy lowfat goy!

why do dumb fuck zoomers not understand inflation?

They read that boomers built a house for 200k 50 years ago and think "omg that's so cheap, we got fucked over!!!".

Like other people have pointed out, that $17 was more the equivalent of $100 back then.

zoomers are retarded

>>18583055
Wages haven't kept up with inflation relative to actual purchasing power.

>>18583062
ppl used to work for $1-2 an hour, where im from i can make $25 an hour working any shitty job, you're retarded

>>18579820
>And it only cost $17.48!
That's like $120 today

>>18583062
Back in the day people could barely afford to eat, buying a fridge or some shit was a big deal that meant you had to scrape and save for months, maybe years, people didn't go out or do drugs because they literally couldn't afford it.

Now you make enough excess money to buy any video game you want and blow the rest of the money on drugs and other stupid shit and take a holiday every year, houses are stupidly overpriced but for everything else you had way more money and purchasing power than ever before.

>>18583055
>They read that boomers built a house for 200k 50 years ago
In the early 70s, a suburban house would sell for 30k, which is like 175k today. Pretty hard to find the equivalent today. The interest rates were pretty high though.

>>18583083
For the moment

>>18583083
>you had way more money and purchasing power than ever before.
>more inflation =/= purchasing power
Fuck head, dumbass boomer.

>>18583083
>people didn't do drugs
>in the 70s
Man are you for real?

>>18583078
>be man in 1930s
>make $1.50 an hour
>some zoomers reads somewhere that houses in the 30s "only cost 20k" and complains it's "unfair" how things back then were so cheap!
>doesn't realize those "houses" were more like 2 bedroom shacks with no water/plumbing/heating modern infrastructure etc
>thinks he is "getting screwed over", meanwhile has enough money to buy all the drugs, alcohol, food, video games, fashion, gifts subs to streamers etc

zoomers are fucking retards

>>18583091
Those "homes" were literal 2 bedroom shacks that were basically 4 cardboard walls that didn't have plumbing/gas/water etc

again, you're fucking retarded, because you cannot comprehended that things were not always the way they are now.

>>18583104
the weed and acid were free
one you can grow in abundance for free the other was made in such large quantities that it was also abundant and given out for free

there's a reason hippys weren't drunks and they stuck to weed and acid, it didn't cost them a thing

>>18583099
What a fucking retard you are for missing the point so obviously.

Back in the day you could not afford to take a holiday every single year.
Back in the day you couldn't afford to buy a new tv every year.
Back in the day you couldn't afford to spend the equivalent of $100 a week on drugs/alcohol
Back in the day going to see a movie or any minor splurge was an absolute luxury.

If you think people back in the day had more spending power and excess money to spend on frivolous crap than you do now you're actually fucking retarded.

the best thing about checks is you can overdraw $20 and never go to that store again

Point remains that zoomers like op don't realise $20 then is the equivalent of $120 now

>>18581839
>your obsolete money transfering method.
>muh obsolete
anon, this is very much not a good thing. the attempt at forcing cbdc's into use are an enslavement tool to ram through a chinese styled social credit score tied to your access to your wealth and other services. why the fuggin hell would you want a bank to moral police you when their one and only job is to transfer money between parties? its not just banks, its your phone company, your social media host, your watch, your car, hell even your internet connected fridge that monitors you reports you to your profile and can lock you out of everything on the whim of a mentally ill trannoid thats diversity hired to be (you)r political officer, no matter what, and with no appeal system. its evil, and muh outdated-ness attitude is co-signing it. use cash as often as possible. its easy, it keeps transactions secret between you and the vendor, bypasses the bank jew needing to clear it (and record it), and incentivizes it stays in mass use. learn to conceal carry if you're that worried about niggers deciding to jump you over it..

>>18580811

I had to get a check book after years of not having one, as the shitty company my apartment complex uses for direct debit payments kept under billing me by $2-3 every month and I'd get DAILY emails saying I owed them money, The apartment manager would apologize and call the company who said they'd fix it then the next month, I'd be under billed again. Finally I said "fuck it" and got a check book and now the apartment manager has to deal with cashing check like it's 1970.

I'm watching the X-Files for the first time, and early in the 2nd season Scully paid for $12 worth of groceries with a check. Why are women like this?

>>18579878
The picture is from 1975. Ancel Keyes' Seven Countries Study linking saturated fat to heart disease was published 1977.

home depot only has one cashier/self-checkout stand that will let you pay with cash, and you better know they have cameras and facial recognition all around that thing.

Woah a white cashier

>>18583125
>Those "homes" were literal 2 bedroom shacks that were basically 4 cardboard walls that didn't have plumbing/gas/water etc
In the 70s, in America? You really have no idea what you're talking about man. My maternal grandparents lived in a 3 bed, 2 bath house with a full kitchen, a garage, and my grandpa's workshop in the basement, with a decent sized yard. Nobody was paying 20k for a shack with no plumbing.

>>18583138
I know alot of old stoner types, people paid for weed back then lol. Cocaine was getting big in the 70s. People also drank more on average.

>>18583156
>you couldn't afford to buy a new tv every year
Nobody should buy a new TV every year anyway
>going to see a movie or any minor splurge was an absolute luxury
Completely false. Just taking 1972 as our model year because that's the one in the OP, that's the year The Godfather came out. It sold 78 million tickets that year alone.

>>18581070
>variance in ring sizes
that represents the overall increase in caloric intake
the segment areas may still be wholly representative but im not 100% sure
you can pick on it if it is inaccurate but this is still be an effective way to portray the data if done right

>>18580811
Former cashier here. Didnt give a shit because the machine we used for taking checks was the same machine we used for cashing coinstars. So we used it pretty often and I was fanilair with it. The keys you had to press on the register was different for checks but it wasnt disaterous. I didnt give a shit about rushes because I could always do 40-45 items per minute and I'd help bag all the grocceries too. So in my experience, I didnt give a shit if you paid with check.

my phone sits in my drawer most of the week.
all i use it for is music while walking to places, they're just mp3 players that receive annoying messages you just ignore.

>>18579820
The pretty 30 year old cashier in a chic pantsuit seems odd.

>>18582726
They grew all that at home in gardens if they lived in any rural area in the 70s.
