lemons getting ready to go bad (would be a shame if they went to waste as these will be the last lemons purchase of the summer for me and i can only drink so much lemon water), onions are on their way out, i have been sitting on leftover bag of split peas for months. time to make some sort of variation of lemon soup. i am on my own personal episode of chopped.

You squeeze like 6 lemons once a week, 2 if you live alone. you have a jar of fresh lemon juice to put towards stuff like salad and lemonade and canned tuna and anything delicious. it’s the highest form of meal prep because it’s actually just accommodating future cooking. Also (yet untested) pre chopping onions? Because it’s so annoying to chop 1 onion but if you chop like 4 it’s like the same amount of energy.

Always have, if nothing else, a few lemons in the home (in a bowl on the table) because they come in handy for: salad dressings, water, tea, cocktails, beer, cola in a glass, avocado toast, fish, chicken, potatoes, broths, cayenne cleanses, stain removal, smelling nice.

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one.
a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment.
b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions.
c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people!
i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and that’s the beauty of it all.
