  • The cheapest available option can differ a lot due to different animal welfare regulations. Caged eggs are the cheapest but they already are or will soon be unavailable in Europe and a few states in America.

    The second cheapest is perchery eggs, which is probably available everywhere, so it’d be better fora direct comparison even if the specific regulations differ somewhat.


  • The European deposit protection is fixed at €100000 pr. customer instead of a percentage. They are not allowed to use customer savings for their own investment or loan outs. It’s handled completely separately…

    Regardless of guarantee, the bank earns a lot more on loans than deposits, so their advisors will always try to push their loan products even when you have money in the bank. They want the customer to be in debt to them. That’s how banks earn money and always have.

    The idea that a bank is some kind of piggy bank where they use customer deposits for investment is a bedside story. They loan money to loan out and then take a cut. It’s loans all the way. Banks have no interest in plain deposit accounts except for being a point of contact to the customer so they can sell loans.

    don’t force open, hit “cancel” or whatever

    I don’t think the timer on the microwave at my job has ever been reset. People just push the “start+30” button and jank it open when they’re bored of waiting. It never reaches zero and nobody presses stop.
