    Fun fact, the 5 stages was developed as a general pattern for people with terminal illnesses coming to terms with their own death, not for people grieving the death of those close to them.

      That’s true, but it became clear that others would experience similar emotions.

      Also according to the Wikipedia, the author regretted writing them in a way that suggested they’re a linear progression of steps. I’ve only actually heard the steps used as a sitcom plot point (Monk, Scrubs).

      Also, grief doesn’t happen in stages. Someone can have accepted something one day and are then upset over it the next. They haven’t gone backwards, that’s just how grief works.

    Not sure who needs to hear this in a shitpost, but the Kübler-Ross “5 stages of grief” is pretty much discredited.

    It’s historically significant because Kübler-Ross was the first one to really investigate and publicize the psychology of dying. We wouldn’t know what we do now without her. But one of the things we know is that the 5-stages model is wrong.

    I can’t remember the one I saw that was the worst, it was like “you’re gonna wish you bought butter” or “you’d hope for butter, but you’d be wrong”

    If you go to Omega Mart in Area 15, they have some products on the shelf that say “who told you this was butter?”

    Where I live, Margarine has to have a fat content of at least 80 % otherwise it is not allowed to be called Margarine. Guess what happens? Even there companies try to cut costs and oversell less fatty water as kind of Margarine.

        If you don’t think you taste the difference even just on toast, then you should get your tastebuds checked.

      That should get them tagged for deceptive advertising. “We put a little buttermilk in with this water and vegetable oil emulsion and advertise that higher than the two primary ingredients.”

    I know it’s a meme, but I do honestly prefer I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter over most real butters (nothing beats Kerrygold) and other margarines.

    It tastes and feels enough like butter to me to work well on bread and such and it doesn’t have the strong smelling milk proteins.

      “Yeah! Margarine doesn’t have cholesterol!”, said the mess manager while pocketing the savings.

          You can just keep the butter outside the fridge for a few minutes.
          Doesn’t work?

          Works pretty well for home-made butter made using non-toned milk.

          Also works for the brand that I tend to buy.

              Best way, use a knife and slice it thiin.
              Then just place it on the bread.

              If the bread is the slightest bit warm (why would you eat cold bread !?), it melts right away.

              But of course, for that to work, you need to be offered the larger face of the butter instead of the little side, that people tend to slice.


              I tend to apply it on toast (i.e. toasted, sliced bread) in that way, which I toasted with a few drops of groundnut oil or Ghee, and it melts (enough to spread by just touching and dragging the spoon/knife) by the time I am ready to eat.

            Absolutely doesnt work for me for whatever reason, even the small flakes just stay as they are as I destroy the bread trying to spread them

              What kind of bread are you using? You’ll need real bread for this, not toast or wonder bread. There’s a world of difference between a real bread loaf and sugar in toast form.

      taste-wise butter is like, slightly better? but the price is so hilariously not fucking worth it in the least.

      Plus, you can get margarine with added omega 3! As someone who fucking hates fish, that’s pretty nice.
