  • Curse a lot. Think of how google’s AI summary won’t appear if you include the word “fuck” in your search, or how everyone on social media is self-censoring naughty words for fear of The Algorithm. The internet has been carefully curated and manicured to be marketable to every possible demographic, so they can milk data from everyone; from the six year old watching Fortnite videos to the pearl-clutching suburbanites worried about the Gays corrupting their Family Values. Become unmarketable by swearing like a sailor. Make communities with your fellow potty-mouths. Rebel against censorship by saying “fuck” a lot.

Fortified bread meant your kids could get their essential nutrients. Any kind of vegetable could be found in a can - no more reliance on whatever was in season. Everything a housewife could need was pre-packaged, condensed, powdered, canned, or frozen. Processed food was advertised as tastier, healthier, and easier to prepare. Food companies would publish recipes like this, which were basically just “toss a can of this and a can of that together for an easy meal!”
