There's a nice app for identifying mushrooms "Picture Mushroom". Although you shouldn't judge anything just based on its results (which they aldo state), it really helps when you're not sure about a specie or just exploring.
There are several results, but all point to Albatrellus species.

You should definitely play both Crusader Kings and Dwarf Fortress - the feeling that you get when you read it: "Hah, it feels like in real life but damn it's crazy" Is true for gameplay of both games in general. When things are simulated with enough details, stories appear!

Oh, yes, absolutely, I was just writing from memory

A well-rounded list with some great time-sinkers in it!

You're probably right, but there are other reasons. I don't have any statistics to support my point, but looking at a (comparatively) low level of food waste in Russia, I could come up with some ideas why (based on 37 years living there):

  • It's generally frowned upon if you throw away a lot of food. Probably because most of the population didn't have much on their table. And especially in Saint-Petersburg (Leningrad) which was blockaded, and where starvation was a real thing. My grandmother survived that, and she would always remind me of the struggle when I left something on my plate.
  • Most of the population lives in cities, and even if a poor family is living in some shitty town far away from everything, the conditions can be bad, but not "dirt floor" bad, and everyone has a fridge.
  • I never had to do that, and it was more of a Soviet Union thing, but in a winter, people used to hang out a bag of meat or something like that outside their kitchen window, because freezers were tiny, and that was the way to keep stuff from spoiling if you were lucky buying something cheap in bulk. I didn't see that for many years, but I'm from a big city and maybe it didn't get that much nicer elsewhere.

I was thinking that I could as well live in Germany, until this moment. Seriously.

About the craziness - yes absolutely. In most other places, you use a thing until nobody would use it, or sell it online. And here, people are just: "nah.."
Well, better for us. I also have a shitton of good stuff, including half of my clothes (I'm lucky to have size M, so a lot of stuff fits). Second hand stores look weird now: "Whoa, you need to pay for that?"

You're in a random spot somewhere in the universe. Where's "up"?

You have to tell it INTO your computer. They hear it like that, it will work

I do that all the time. A thing is a thing, and it can be your thing now. I only try to ask myself two things:

  1. Do I really need that?
  2. Is it in a good condition? I have a lot of used stuff at home, so if I took something half-broken, it would look like a dumpster already.

Sidenote: I live in Denmark, where people overconsume, and then get rid of stuff which is still in good condition.

Okay, okay, oil doesn't help me at all, what am I doing!
