how in the world am i only now learning that production of pennies stopped in february and the way i find out is by a sign on my grocery store's self-checkouts. we live in hell, man
Sign on a grocery store self-checkout which reads "The US Treasury has stopped production of pennies, which is now impacting supply. If using cash for payment, please consider providing exact change." Also the total on the register is $27.71 for 3 items because we live in hell.

a true lightness of spirit and a lightness of both wine and canned foods here in the south of france. you know how to make a good meal and drink, fellas, i’ll give you that
An open can of Monoprix brand canned raviolis with a fork sticking out of it, in front of a bottle of white wine. The whole scene is shot on top of my “walkin’ around” aloha shirt I bring everywhere because I’ve been having too much fun in France to get a scenic shot in daylight for the background this time. The wine is horrifically cheap but tastes great. The raviolis are very light, maybe too light to be a meal, but taste great.

high marks for austria. beautiful scenery and a nice rich sauce on this canned ravioli. low marks for this photo’s light balance
A great big can of Austrian canned ravioli with a fork sticking out of it, in front of a typically-European-cheap-but-good bottle of wine. The background of the shot is a narrow city street framed by buildings that are like 500 years old.

hey great job on the ol’ discover feed there @bsky.app i knew i wanted to see a hundred of the same post by different people all with no likes or reposts
Two identical skeets of what are presumably bots sharing an article about data centers in Brazil on the Discover feed. There were about sixty more of the same as I scrolled down.

visiting my parents and they mentioned offhand they had a bunch of my old bionicle sets in pieces and a bunch of empty canisters. so, definitely just to save space in storage by assembling guys and putting them in canisters, i am partying like it’s 2002
The original Tahu BIONICLE toy and a Kohrak Bohrok, assembled in a field of loose BIONICLE parts on a carpeted floor. They’re in battle poses.

canada very nearly actually killing me will NOT stop my quest
An open can of Beefaronis with a fork sticking out of it next to a bottle of blended Spanish and Canadian wine. The shot is framed in front of an evening sky in Ottawa. I got my fork back. And I probably shouldn’t drink wine on painkillers but no one will stop my quest.

tesco’s finest
A can of Tesco beef ravioli next to a bottle and glass of “Tesco’s Finest” wine, sitting on a wood-panel radiator enclosure that’s probably older than I am. It’s not a fork sticking out of the can this time, it’s a spoon from the hotel tea set. The wine is honestly not terrible.

i think i’ve made this exact post before but i don’t care. i looove my dipshit’s frybread
Little crispy fried chunks of dough sitting on a piece of paper towel to let the oil seep off. They look like chicken nuggets from a local place that doesn’t have to make those very often.

very meat-rich canned dishes in germany you do not let me down
A fork sticking out of a can of German goulash soup next to a bottle of Austrian wine, framed in front of the Frankfurt skyline outside my window. It’s a metal fork. When I went back to the Cairns Woolworths, they had forks in stock. I’m being marginally more environmentally friendly.

all that remains of my years of drawing is making funny faces with nothing around them #makeaterriblecomicday2025
A comic where a disembodied face with hands wonders if it can draw comics again after not doing so for many years.

me listening to chopper rap released in a very large span of time: hmm this is great but i think a twista verse would do well in it

twista starting his guest verse: twista!

me, every time:
Stick figure pointing at something out of frame, agog with delight. Stick figure looking at camera, hands on face, looking delighted and saying “No way!”

hell of a selection at the cairns woolworths
An open can of very rich ravioli with a fork sticking out of it, next to a glass of red wine, framed in front of a cityscape ahead of mountains. It’s the last fork from South Africa. Woolworth’s had a place for forks but had none in stock.

germany thus far is the king of “volume of meat in canned pastas” and for this reason i must return
A big can of ravioli being held aloft in front of a piece of hotel wall art that says “Hamburg” because there’s not a good view from this hotel. There’s a plastic fork from South Africa sticking out of the can. In the corner of the view you can see Rails is watching German-dubbed SpongeBob for the laughs.

ahh ze beautiful south of france and its [checks notes] parking lots
An open can of French beef raviolis with a fork sticking out of it, with an IKEA glass mug of very good wine next to it. Framed in front of a sunset and a parking lot because I don’t have a good view from this hotel room. It’s also a big ass can of raviolis, unlike previous entries in the series. Thank you, France.

the joke was gonna be “ahh the legendary 🇮🇹 italian cooking 👨‍🍳 molto bene 🤌” with something horrible but the only canned ready-to-eat thing i could find was delicious stuffed peppers. and a 94-point wine for $4. you win this round, italy
An open can of Gefüllte Paprika stuffed peppers with a fork sticking out of it, next to a good-looking bottle of wine. The fork looks the same as the South Africa post because I bought a whole pack there and forgot it was in my bag for a month. The wine bottle is open but there’s no glass because there’s no glasses in this room and I’m just taking bottle rips like a heathen.

really sincere when i say that if this rack of bottles that only i touch either empties or goes up in price before this unpleasantness is settled, i’m dropping off the grid and growing sorghum myself
Two full rows of cheap baijiu on a shelf in a liquor store. The nearest bottle is dusty because only Rails buys baijiu here.

would you believe i couldn’t find a can of beefaronis in an australian grocery store
An open can of cold spaghetti, an Australian brand, with a cheap wooden fork stuck into it to make clear that the photographer is eating it straight out of the can in a hotel room. There’s a glass of red wine next to it that looks supremely out of place.
