    How does it compare to the air quality in a river of cars rolling 3mph through dystopian city scapes?

    Whatever it takes to avoid the excessive snacking debuff

    How many air purifiers can you buy with the money you save on gas and vehicle maintenance every year?

      A 6 pack of 20x20x1 BNX TruFilter MERV 11 filters is $46.99 on amazon.com, about $7.83 each. You’ll want to replace them every 6 months.

      20 inch Lasko box fans are $23.37 each at walmart

      A roll of painter’s tape is $4.97 at walmart

      It apparently costs $113.36 per year to run a 20 in box fan 24/7, based on average American electrical costs in 2023.

      The average American spends $8466 on their commute each year.

      You could make and run 55 air purifiers for the cost of the average commute.

        The average American spends $8466 on their commute each year.

        Wtf how is this a real stat? I’m not doubting you or anything, just sheer disbelief that the average yank spends $32 a day getting to and from work.

        Is it living really far away or depreciation and insurance on a stupid car?

    There’s no way forcing me to smell Amber’s chopped raw broccoli breakfast salad is better for air quality than letting me sit in a cloud of my own farts at home

    Being sedentary at a desk for 8 hours is probably worse for you than the air quality drop and the snacking combined.

    It also leads to more paid naps and the opportunity to do my workout during pointless meetings.

      I for one snack more at the office because there I have to spend a lot of time seated to look like I am constantly working. And I use it as easy dopamine as I just hate being there.

      Office day = one box of cookies every time.

        My work “provides” snacks, in that there is a little shop in the cafeteria where I could buy a candy bar or a cup of instant ramen for 200% the price of what it would cost at the grocery store a 10 minute walk away.

        Even in the best case scenario, that cushy benefit is just coming out of your paycheque.

        More offices are getting these little convenience stores with snacks and drinks. You pay at a booth and a camera watches you to make sure you don’t steal
