The most expensive item on a restaurant menu isn't meant to be sold. It exists to make the second-most-expensive item look reasonable. Behavioral economists call this the decoy effect. Dan Ariely proved it at MIT in 2008. Every menu you've eaten from this year uses it. Plus 10 more tricks. I pulled the playbook. Here's how each one hijacks your brain. 🧵

Seguramente el insulto de fachapobre ha sido uno de los términos que más daño ha producido a la izquierda, es indefendible, es clasista y reproduce exactamente la lógica que dice combatir. El mensaje implícito es demoledor: si eres pobre y votas a la derecha, mereces desprecio. No solo no mereces explicación ni análisis; mereces una etiqueta que te humilla dos veces: por tu clase y por tu voto. Es contraproducente hasta el absurdo, porque en el momento en que insultas a alguien por su voto, has renunciado a convencerle. Has elegido la superioridad de clase (la cual no tiene sentido) sobre la eficacia de tus políticas.

VOX: PRIORIDAD NACIONAL - Perfecto limitemos la compra de vivienda de los extranjeros no residentes. No pero eso atenta contra... - Y expropiemos las casas especulativas de los agentes extranjeros y se las cedemos a las familias de autoctonas. A ver cuando hablan de prioridad nacional hablan de... - Y destruyamos los acuerdos con agentes extranjeros que quieren interferir en los intereses de nuestro Estado como Estados Unidos e Israel. No a ver... tanta prioridad nacional no... - Y limitemos el turismo para evitar que España siga siendo el cubo de vomitos de medio mundo. No a ver porque los hosteleros.... - Pues prohibamos que las empresas privadas extranjeras controlen servicios básicos de la población como la luz, agua, gas, ferrocarriles etc. No porque eso va contra la libertad de comercio y claro... Y asi con todo. Su prioridad nacional es el simple lema de legitimar el asesinato del pobre.

Part 2 on the economics of all-you-can-eat. Your buffet plate is smaller than a normal dinner plate. On purpose. Plate manufacturers sell a specific size called a “buffet line” plate, and restaurants buy it for one reason: when the plate looks full, your brain thinks the meal is full, and you stop sooner. A Cornell team ran a study across 22 Chinese buffets in six states. About 75 percent of customers put food on their plate from the very first tray, and 66 percent of everything they ate came from the first three trays. That is why the front of the line is always rice, bread, pasta, potatoes. Cheap for the restaurant. Filling for you. By the time you reach the steak or shrimp, the plate is mostly carbs. The serving spoons are rigged too. Big ladles in the rice. Small tongs in the meat. Scooping rice is easy. Picking up five shrimp one at a time feels awkward, so you stop. Cornell watched 213 people across 11 Chinese buffets. Thin customers walked the whole buffet before grabbing a plate, 71 percent of them. Heavier customers grabbed a plate and started loading right away, only 33 percent browsed first. Thin customers also sat about 16 feet farther from the food and chewed 15 times per bite versus 12. Most of it was unconscious. People had no idea they were doing any of it. Drinks are where the money hides. A fountain Coke costs the restaurant about 15 cents to pour and you pay three or four dollars, a markup of over 1,000 percent. The cup is also bigger than a normal cup on purpose. More soda in your stomach means less room for food. The sugar spikes your blood sugar, which makes you feel full faster. Exactly what the restaurant wants. Even the dirty plates are part of the plan. Most buffets do not clear your table fast. Those stacked, sauce-smeared plates in your peripheral vision are a free appetite suppressant. Seeing your own mess kills your hunger. The restaurant saves on busboys and saves on food. About 75 percent of “all-you-can-eat” is actually “however much we can quietly convince you to eat.” That is why the model works. The one in twenty customer who eats like a pro athlete loses the restaurant eight bucks. The other nineteen have already been nudged, plated, and soda’d into eating about seven dollars of food on a twenty dollar ticket. The house almost always wins.

A German triathlete paid 18 bucks for all-you-can-eat sushi and ate 100 plates in one sitting. He weighed 174 pounds with under 10 percent body fat. When he tried to tip on the way out, the owner refused the money and told him he was banned for eating too much. Any restaurant runs food costs at about 30 to 35 cents of every dollar you pay. Buffets included. On a $20 all-you-can-eat, the average customer eats around $7.40 of actual food. After rent, staff, and the rest of the bills, the house keeps about a dollar per person. Most customers are not that triathlete. On a typical 300-customer day, roughly 255 people eat an average amount, 60 eat less, and only about 15 eat enough to cost the restaurant money. Those 15 lose the place around $127 between them. The other 285 cover the damage and then some. Average it all out and the restaurant still walks away with about a dollar per customer. Five bowls of butter chicken still leaves the kitchen ahead. The triathlete got banned over his drink order: he ate for five people and only had one cup of tea all night. At a buffet, the food barely breaks even. The profit lives in soft drinks, desserts, and alcohol. A fountain Coke costs the restaurant about 15 cents to pour and sells for three or four dollars. The food pulls you in. The Coke pays the rent. The industry has been shrinking anyway. Old Country Buffet once had 600 locations and today has zero. Sweet Tomatoes shut all 97 of its stores in 2020 and never came back. Food costs are up 29 percent since 2020 and labor costs are up 31 percent. "All-you-can-eat within reason" is the polite industry phrase for please do not be the fifth bowl guy.

"Os hubiera regalado el Nobel, pero ya se lo entregué a un psicópata narcisista y belicista que ha ratificado a Delcy en el cargo de presidenta petrolífera, dejándome a mí en la cuneta de la historia, jajaja", añadió. "Ahora no sé qué más haré. Tuitear cosas, supongo". Agregó.

@MarioBrothBlog Your posts are amazing man, keep up the good work. You always makes us smile😊

In Super Mario Sunshine, the Pinna Park map screen brochure features a Yoshi saying something nearly indecipherable. However, it turns out there is compelling evidence that he is congratulating a map designer on her upcoming wedding to a programmer at Nintendo.

Las derechas occidentales dándose cuenta de que un mundo multipolar significa que tienes que ir forjando alianzas en base a tus intereses como patria y no en hacer seguidismo acrítico a los yanquis porque lo viste en una película de Hollywood en 1994

as for people betting "Trump" won't use nuclear weapons - they still don't get "Trump" isn't in charge of anything. This is an all-or-nothing bid by the US to maintain primacy over the planet before losing it permanently. The unelected US corporate-financier establishment - pushing for wars since the inception of America as a nation - have ALREADY USED NUCLEAR WEAPONS - TWICE!!! They considered using them on Korea, Vietnam, and even as recently as Afghanistan. DO NOT let the US pin this solely on a single politician, or an administration or a US proxy. Make sure EVERYONE involved is blamed and held accountable. This is called compartmentalization - dividing up your political fronts when dirty work is required so you can flush the consequences down with one or more of these fronts while keeping the political whole more or less intact. The US literally does this every 4-8 years with presidents and scores of wars of aggression and other horrible foreign and domestic policies - and they will do it with this time as well. It wasn't "Clinton," "Bush," or "Obama's" wars (although they are accomplices and equally guilty) - they are Wall Street and Washington wars - every single one of them - no matter who is picked to sell them and take the fall for them. If you never expose and hold Wall Street and Washington as a whole accountable, they will continue their compartmentalization game forever without end.

L'1 d'abril és l'únic día de l'any que reflexa la part de l'any que ha transcorregut així com el dia que és: 1/4

A lo mejor es que lleváis décadas vendiendo una imagen de Estados Unidos que no se corresponde con la realidad. Es decir, tragando propaganda gringa a espuertas.

(1/2) Podéis estar en contra de la eutanasia. De hecho yo estoy en contra de la ley por motivos muy diferentes a los grupos ultraconservadores y cristianos, ante el peligro de que en un futuro el sistema capitalista use esa vía para deshacerse de "población improductiva" 👉

No hubo ninguna filtración a los mercados. Donald Trump y su corte fueron quienes se beneficiaron directamente de especular con el petróleo y la guerra, porque ellos son, al mismo tiempo, gobierno y mercado. De primero de periodismo es informar de la realidad.
