    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.

      What’s wrong with “saving” time? I’d rather make overnight oats and have a more chill morning rather than rush to make a meal.

      And low key overnight oats are way tastier than most porridges people make. Make it with almond milk and yogurt, smush in a banana, add cinnamon and honey and before eating sprinkle on some cashew nuts. Absolute god tier breakfast.

        No no no, sorry. Saving time is not the problem. Life is meant to be enjoyed and if it makes your morning more enjoyable and chill, then I am all for it. The problem is the corporate grind culture which proritizes work over life e.g. “make over night porridge so you don’t waste time on breakfast to get to work faster”

    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.

      Tiny homes are a problem. They are a bandaid to make people feel better. We need more Medium density housing that allows people to live with dignity instead of cramming them into dollhouses. And no a tiny house is not the same size as a regular house in the 70s. It’s 400sqrft compared to 1500 sqrft , get real

        Most people in the world live in much smaller spaces like 50m² / 500sqft apartment incl. children. The USA has very low population density. But yeah we need higher urban density.
