The default length of pasta is designed to fit on a supermarket shelf, not to be the best length for cooking/eating.

Feel free to break it to any length you want (don't let the Italians know I said this)

Just a couple of dudes reminding you that Aldis Hodge is, in fact, the sexiest man alive. In addition to being a horologist, he's also a painter and a violinist. He also went to school for architecture.

My one friend group can't stop saying, "See you in hell!" in a cheerful voice instead of, "Talk to you later!" and my other friend group can't stop calling things "penis" instead of "cool" or "good", so I just unironically uttered the phrase, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," as I got off the phone.

the idea of a podcast having dynamic ads that relate to you even when the episode came out years ago is so perverse. like it's a sound file a podcast is just an audio clip. and you're telling me before the audio clip reaches my ears some algorithm is poking around in its guts adding things and taking things out. you're ravishing it. it's obscene

Can't decide whether it's funnier to say "my hungry ass could never work at a" and then say something that implies you're eating something truly grotesque or something that just, makes no sense

I have a listing for $1 on Etsy, and thought I'd use it as an example of how much the fees are.

This customer got a 10% discount on $1, paying $0.90. I stopped sending these discounts but Etsy doesn't let you deactivate them, so they still work for buyers who have them.

They paid shipping which was $4.68 and sales tax which was $0.35, in total paying $5.93. Shipping and sales tax do not go to the seller. I will need to pay that $4.68 for shipping to the postal service.

So we have $0.90.

Out of $0.90, Etsy takes 3.0% of the order total, plus $0.25 for credit card processing ($0.43)

Then on top of that, they take 6.5% of item total in Etsy fees ($0.06)

And finally, a shipping fee of 6.5% of what the customer paid for shipping ($0.30)

In total Etsy took $0.79. So the remaining profit to me is $0.11

Now, most listings you will see will be more than $1 obviously. But the percentages and fees will be the same.

As you can hopefully see, sellers are incentivized to raise their prices to counteract these fees. This is why I have made an effort to move to Shopify, although most buyers continue to prefer Etsy.

And by the way, no hard feelings to anyone who does prefer Etsy! I completely understand and acknowledge that for some buyers, especially international and EU/UK buyers, it is a necessity because Etsy handles VAT and other import fees. I also understand that Etsy provides peace of mind: providing refunds in certain circumstances, as well as shop reviews.

I hope this is informative for any buyers or sellers out there.
