Whats a montana?

Is that some city in Brazil?

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

It's montania !

Perhaps they are bees?

[-] imadethis@fedinsfw.app 1 points 3 hours ago

If this is real, it looks like they're stocking a storm closet, or 'emergency supplies' if you'd rather. Stable grains (even if the cereals are eewwugh, they're still sealed tight and easy to eat), water for a few days, light sources with the fuel/power (batteries, it looks like) for them, the mac&cheese for the kids who would probably whine and need some form of 'comfort' food, and cleaning supplies. "Water and sugar" is almost exactly what you'd want if you were isolated by a storm for a short period of time. If they're not using a wood burning stove (or gas, I'll grant you, if it doesn't go out), having food (the "sugar") that doesn't need much cooking is perfect.

I would guess the laundry solution there, and maybe a few of the other things that are hidden and you can't quite make out, would be placed in normal locations for regular use in the house.

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

And that's fine. But it's proposed as a normal grocery run. If this is normal for this household, then I have questions about the health and sanity of the family living there.

[-] imadethis@fedinsfw.app 1 points 3 hours ago

I suppose you could see it ("groceries") as "a normal grocery run," but to me groceries just means 'what you bring home from the grocery store.' That includes random things like storm prep. So the phrase "40 euro worth of groceries in montana" still fits.

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I think I'm over thinking a shitpost.

[-] imadethis@fedinsfw.app 2 points 2 hours ago

Lulz. We got sucked in.

Speaking of sucking...

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

speaking of sucking

I had to delete my response because nsfw.

[-] GodyGade@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

How is this a shitpost?

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 39 points 11 hours ago

I'm surprised that euros buy anything in the US at all

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Cash probably won't be accepted, but if you're paying via a card, tap to pay, etc. your card issuer usually will convert payments automatically.

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 11 hours ago

Assuming 40Euro is like 80usd...

Bunch on of literal water, pack of paper towels, some gas+sawdust, some cheapo lanterns, and then maybe some snacks, food and soap.

So, yeah, sure. 80 bucks can get you some water, cereal, laundry detergent, some $5 lanterns without fuel or batteries, and some firelogs.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 9 points 11 hours ago

A euro is 1.25 dollars so it'll be 50 bucks

[-] CrimeIsLegalNow@ani.social 7 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

It's an unsourced shitpost.

That you gave it any thought at all is embarrassing.

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Oh no I'm so embarrassed

Like literally, who gives a shit

[-] 0x0@infosec.pub -4 points 6 hours ago

You do, making multiple comments in this post

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Wait, I posted, but only once, do I give a shit, too? What are the rules here

[-] trojanbark@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago

I did not realize American grocery stores accepted euros

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Not sure if serious, but they don't. I'm guessing the OP is supposed to confuse us.

[-] Lehmuusa@nord.pub 40 points 16 hours ago
[-] imadethis@fedinsfw.app 2 points 3 hours ago

I'm looking, and it would appear to be what I or another family member would bring home from the grocery store (with the caveat that my choices would likely be far different) if we were stocking a storm closet. I see stable grains, sealed 'almost-ready-to-go' meals, lights with the fuel/power for them, water, cleaning supplies.

I will grant you that this wouldn't be a normal grocery list, (and their claim of 40 euros is also likely way too low these days), but it would fit under the 'groceries' category in my view.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 46 points 16 hours ago
[-] Lehmuusa@nord.pub 8 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Kinda yeah, but it really doesn't work no matter what side you look at it from.

Edit: also, "sir"?

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 34 points 16 hours ago

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sir-this-is-a-wendys

I consider this expression and variations of it to be gender neutral at this point

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 12 points 14 hours ago

Just an fyi in addition to the other guy pointing out the meme reference: barely anyone reads a bio here before commenting (assuming thats where you put that stuff). My client doesnt even show these things

[-] Lehmuusa@nord.pub 2 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, I don't open everybody's profiles all the time either. But it says "Linda" as my name right above my comment. I figured that might have been a sufficient hint.

Of course, not everyone knows it's a female name 🤷

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 13 points 5 hours ago

But it says "Linda" as my name right above my comment.

Not in every client on every device.

Most mobile apps will only show your username@instance.

[-] Lehmuusa@nord.pub 1 points 5 hours ago

Makes sense 🙂

[-] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago
[-] Lehmuusa@nord.pub 0 points 15 hours ago

Much preferred! 💛

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 20 points 16 hours ago

Where is Montania? It's in the Eurozone?

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Just across a small pond from Britannia

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

I shouldn't be telling you this, but it's between the countries of Svenborgia and Grenyarnia.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 8 hours ago

probably an island that europe owns.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 10 hours ago

Has all the EU was going to stop taking in third world Nations.

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 11 points 15 hours ago

Does 40 euros buy a gun, cause that's a steal.

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, a water gun.

[-] tormeh@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 15 hours ago

Honestly the volume itself is not bad. That's a lot of shelf space, even if it's borderline worthless air and water...

(Are the Americans ok?)

[-] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 17 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

The ubiquity of bottled water in the US is a public declaration that we are a failed society.

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

There is a section of the US population that subsists off bottled water, but it's a minority and mostly lower-class. They might also live in old and poorly-maintained buildings where they think the pipes are of questionable quality, though if the water is actually unsafe to drink, the municipality will condemn the building. We of course have laws, so it's illegal to rent out a building with no drinkable water.

The vast majority of Americans just drink tap water. Some people run it through a filter to improve the taste. Tap water is safe to drink in at least 99.9% of the US. Bottles water is viewed as more of a convenience, for example when you're organising an event you might provide bottled water to attendees who don't want soda or beer.

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

Flint has entered the chat

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Yeah and the fact that it is basically the only city in the country where the water has been undrinkable for a long time is indicative of the general reliability of water infrastructure in this country. The US is geographically as large as the entire continent of Europe and is the third-most populous country in the world after India and China.

A really good guitar player.

[-] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago

Bulk order of cereal, cans of pinto beans, bowls of macaroni and cheese, shit paper, water trapped in plastic, soap, batteries?, and some other things.

[-] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

WTF is that Duracell thing in the left corner??

[-] tryitout@infosec.pub 2 points 12 hours ago

Duracell 5000L Tri-Powered Lantern
