Got_Bent,

Willy Wonka is furiously amending his payment contract with the oompa loompas right about now.

Won’t somebody think of the chocolate factory and its shareholders?

diamonddust1,

not forget the $8.7 Billion hedge fund pumped in ft.com/…/563227fe-edfb-40bd-bea9-dc2822ba4f27

trslim,

I’d be ok if we ditched chocolate as a society.

SuperSpruce,

So this is why a candy bar is now $2.69?

I used to buy chocolate candy all the time but they’ve seemed to double in price in 10 years, so I turned to pretzels instead, which are still cheap

Ashe,

Overlooking the whole child slave labor thing, yeah I suppose so

Mango,

Yes, but also copper tastes terrible.

BigBananaDealer,

thats your opinion not the rest of us

lemmytry,

yes, I love the taste of pig

echodot,

Yeah but it makes rubbish wiring.

nonailsleft,

Coppr can go succ it if wants more of my money

afraid_of_zombies,

Ok billion dollar idea: selectively breed yeast until it can make it. I leave the details as an exercise for the reader.

Unpigged,

Yes, let’s use AI!

afraid_of_zombies,

And blockchain

k110111,

Woah woah, we don’t want to overproduce it

Liz,

Cocoa isn’t a single compound, if you extracted the pure chemical everyone claims is chocolate, you’d be very disappointed. Your goal is still theoretically possible, just a lot harder than the usual yeast and E. Coli synthesis targets.

afraid_of_zombies,

Would it help you solve the problem if I acted like one of those tech “visionaries” fired half your coworkers, posted problematic stuff on social media, stole your credit, worked you to the bone, and then micromanaged your output at the last moment?

Cause I am just saying I already own a black turtleneck and wear glasses.

Liz,

It’s certainly worth trying!

afraid_of_zombies,

That’s the kinda synergy team player attitude I like. I will have a temp worker contact you about onboarding after the first round of venture funding. Thinking a billion.

RememberTheApollo_,

Try Cardamom. That stuff is getting ridiculous, ~$20 for a small standard grocery store spice rack jar. Apparently climate change is affecting the production. I was making some Indian food and ran out, went to the store and was shocked at the sticker price. A quick calculation seems that it’s about $15,500/US ton, ~50¢/oz bulk market cost, whole allspice.

Thassodar,

What common recipes use cardamom? I haven’t made anything that uses it.

Forne,

I add it to rice every time I cook. 4~6 capsules per batch for 3-4 people.

phdepressed,

Cardamom is a pretty common spice in Chai. It is also used in certain styles of biryani and various curries. Various indian sweets can also contain it. The Swedes apparently use it in cakes and pastries.

Daxtron2,

Many Indian recipes

Corkyskog,

Cardamom carrots are really good.

aggelalex,

Semlor!

PumaStoleMyBluff,

Swedish cardamom rolls (like cinnamon rolls but way better)

RememberTheApollo_,

The Basmati rice recipe I was making called for it. Might have been another dish, but I forget.

afraid_of_zombies,

Indian food. Rajma and naan is how I survived uni and it uses a fair amount.

AFaithfulNihilist,

I put it on a lot of things sweet and savory alike. It goes with the rosemary, pepper, salt and coriander when I roast potatoes. It also goes into snickerdoodles or a half dozen different kinds of cake. It also makes a really good additive to soap if you make your own soap.

It’s such an underappreciated spice, at least in the US where nobody seems to know what’s going on despite enjoying the food.

The only time people don’t question what the flavor is, is when I make Indian food.

Buddahriffic,

Is it the one that smells like fruit loops?

MyNamesNotRobert,

Fine, I’ll put copper in my coffee since it’s cheaper.

SkybreakerEngineer,

Emotional allomancers hate this one weird trick

ColeSloth,

But you can’t afford the coffee now, either.

You notice the bags of coffee beans went from 16oz bags for around $10 five years ago to now 10oz and 11 oz bags for $12?

werefreeatlast,

And I drive the baddest Prius out there! My Prius does 5billion in just 3!

lengau,

Ea-nāṣir gonna be getting complaints about the quality of cocoa

Zehzin,

Ea-Nestlé

chalupapocalypse,

Great now they are going to start stealing all the cocoa out of new construction

werefreeatlast,

Where would they even sell it? The cocoa recycling centers won’t take any cocoa without a wrapper and a receipt!

Linkerbaan,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Which means they are paying those plantation workers fair wages now

Right…

FiniteBanjo,
huginn,

Headline should be: copper cheaper than you thought

Cocoa being more expensive might be better paid workers and better living standards right?

umbrella,
@umbrella@lemmy.ml avatar

…right??

Rai,

I was stunned at how cheap copper is after being linked BigStackD on YouTube and watching him melt copper into a bunch of copper bars that ended up totaling like 35USD

Dudewitbow,

copper in the context of itself is actually pretty cheap. the problem copper has is that copper is reletively expensive when compared to other common metals, hence why in some industries, copper usage is being cut back more (e.g heatsinks, as copper is commonly used for its great heat transfer coefficient, but reletively speaking, is more expensive than aluminum, while cheaper and lighter, doesnt conduct heat as well as copper)
