    If you eat overnight oats to save time to get to work, then you are a tool.

    If you eat overnight oats because you like the taste or because it saves on energy, then I don’t judge.

        It’s a cold version of porridge where the oats are soaked overnight instead of being heated fresh.

        I don’t like cold oats, BUT I do really like Steel Cut oats, in a slow cooker with a light timer attached to it on low.

        Mix it all up in the evening, light timer turns on 3 hours before I wake up, turns on crockpot, light timer turns off 30 minutes before I wake up. Nice hot, fully cooked breakfast in the morning.

        Do not listen to people who say it’s slimy. Idk what the hell they are putting in it for it to be slimy.

        My go-to is milk, brown sugar, and steel cut oats overnight. In the morning I’ll add diced strawberries and blueberries or banana. Awesome breakfast that’s extremely healthy. If you want even more sweetness you can add some maple syrup.

          They use quick oats instead of rolled oats or steel cut oats. Turns into depression paste. Don’t do that. Also check to make sure your rolled oats are not “quick rolled oats”, because apparently that’s a thing

        Because life is more important than work and anyone who claims otherwise is a tool.

      Because they needed those days for labor on themselves to not die. Like preserving food, making soap/candles, and doing things around the house.

      Thanks to capitalism, all of that time can now be spent toiling for your masters lords owners stake holders!

      Edit: Late edit to clarify that industrialization isn’t capitalism, and that’s what actually made it possible.

      And muesli is a superior version of overnight oats, and you should give it a try because it adds fruit and a lot of different nuts.

      Toss in some Greek yogurt, maybe some honey or maple syrup for flavor and sweetness, and it is freakin’ delicious.

      And if you’re interested, it’ll make you regular as all hell.

    Tiny homes and overnight oats are not the problem. Tiny homes can actually solve a lot of issues with the affordability crisis and are great for single people or couples. I am very satisified with my 600ish sqft house. Its about as big as most apartments i could rent anyway. Plus tiny homes have smaller bills to pay and less space to keep clean.

    What many people call a “tiny home” would have just been a regular home 50 years ago. We dont all need 3 story detached houses with 3 car garages and 2 acres of depressing monoculture grass lawns.

    Overnight oats are bad now? I think it’s way superior compared to more expensive options like cereal.

      Its not “bad” its just got a similar ingredient list to “gruel” suggesting we’ve just rebranded feudalism in the ‘grind culture’ sphere. It fully depends on whether people are eating them by choice or financial necessity.

    Overnight oats are amazing though. We always called them summer oatmeal, and make them so fancy. I had some last week with pineapple tepache (so they were fermented), yogurt, cherries and pineapple and shedded coconut, this week I am doing the same, with macadamia nuts & pepitas not cherries.

    Tiny house I do not. I don’t think most of them are even made to code here, not gonna be safe in a storm.

    Gig economy - I know that if I had a business I would never treat my workers like that, it’s evil. You cannot even say your business is successful if you need slaves to make it so. It’s not.
