Actually no, but we have had "campers" where I live destroy several parks and heritage fruit orchards.. You know, the farm house is gone but the trees remained, til those cunts started climbing them and breaking the branches to get at the fruit. The community used to get together and harvest the fruit every year, some for the pickers but most for the food bank in town, but no more... Pear trees, apple, cherry, Some more than 100 years old. Fuck the campers, and fuck you for suggesting "foraging".

I'm a zoomer and I had it real easy. I spent most of my life browsing the internet and playing video games, yet still achieved almost perfect grades all the way through college because of how much it's been dumbed down. I got a marketing degree which took literally 0 work, and found a job in advertising (specifically: digital media planning) about a month after graduation. I skipped around a few times and now I work in software support for a major B2B tech company in the digital advertising industry. I make six figures and will buy a house soon. And the thing is, nothing I do or have ever done was very hard. It feels like opportunity and money is just thrown at me the same way people accuse boomers of having it.

€10/kg for high-quality butter, 8000 kcal.
€5/kg for the cheapest-shittiest cheese (either young cheese or kraft singles). which is at best 50% cheese, and 3000 kcal.

So Butter is way cheaper per unit of energy (which he is going for).

Also don't be a retard and understand which product would cost more:

1. Start with milk and yeet it until it's butter.
2. Start with milk and add shit, leave it for a week, heat it, cool it until it's cheese.
Gee I wonder which one would be cheaper.
