When did you realize that companies don't give one fuck about you and that every single food product you buy has been designed in a way which maximizes profit? I'd like to think this is common knowledge, but I have a feeling it isn't.

they probably did a study on how these screens prevent people from opening doors to handle stuff
grocery store freezers use an incredible amount of electricity

if they cared that much about energy use they wouldn't have open fridges in the dairy and meat aisles.

heating and cooling uses a surprising amount of electricity when compared to lighting and computing and whatnot

>> No.16145909

>>16145871
cooling uses a lot of juice because there are a lot of things moving in the whole system, which is also why maintenance on it is a pain
compared to screens it’s not even close

How is any of it "wasted"? Do you happen to be poor by any chance?
>>>Absolute control over the 'shelf space' presentation to push highest-profit products

those are also being phased out if the setup allows for it

And I bet it'll turn out a lot of people, older ones especially, will open the doors so they can see the actual product and it'll end up costing way more electricity.

When I was about 20. So some years ago. Companies put the cheapest ingredients and lot's of diffrent kinds og them so the food isn't bland. But nutritionally it's shit and the ingredients are shit also in other ways too

Yes. Technology has made screens extremely energy efficient. As far as I know there have been no major advancements in the field of refrigeration for many decades.

economics 101 my friend

as soon as there is at least more than one product of the same kind the manufacturers either build a cartel or need to compete in their products quality to get more sales.

the fun stuff happens when this race for product quality meets a level where the customer is not willing to pay the resulting price of the product - thats when the sawdust and granola bars meme happens

Yes.

90% of the energy used to power a home goes directly towards heating and cooling. Who would have guessed extracting energy from the environment was extremely energy-intensive.

You basically need to have an innate psychological resistance to common marketing tactics to not think that way anymore. Companies spend all their money on trying to trick you into thinking they're your family so that you will turn into the perfect fanboy, and it works on I would say an outright majority of people.
