    lol

    czechoslovakia had pretty big and fancy cafeterias. didnt have waiters or anything usually, youd go and grab the food from the trough or whatever and it was really well prepared, unlike shitty all you can eats in america. grandma waxed poetic on her favorite one getting shut down and eating at all you can eats here in america a couple times. cafeteria was in a big park walking distance from work and was designed to encourage communication, community, and organization between workers. very reasonably priced food and the alcohol was dirt cheap

      Apartments could be so much cheaper if we got rid of kitchen equipment from them and made eating in cafeterias the norm.

        :picard-pointing:

        some public housing stuff did that in czechia, but mostly for poor people that couldnt afford the pans and appliances. theyd have a communal cooking area in almost every place that had all the pans and stuff and a lot of people didnt even bother getting any pans or stoves. though most people would try to get their own stuff over time. and thank god for it im gonna pry those old socialist appliances from my parents cold dead hands those things are BUILT

          I live in communal housing by choice and I believe that everyone should be forced to live a communal lifestyle like I do. Its just more efficient and would eradicate so many societal problems. Kids should be raised outside traditional family units, adults should be fine sleeping in a bunk, sex and nudity should be not taboo. Humanity takes too much space of earth, this planet can support an infinite amount of people but only if we adjust our lifestyles accordingly.

        Yeah, fuck people with special dietary needs or who want cuisine different from the majority.
