Oh I love this. I'm going to hit my coworker that loves showing off his car with "goat cheese is more expensive per/lb than your car!" Lol

Give a man a Roquefort, he can eat for day. Give a man a Ferrari SF90 Stradale, he can eat for a lifetime.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I don't think it's recommended that you eat a whole roquefort at once. The Ferrari even less so.

What's "goat cheese"? There's dozens of kinds of goat cheese. If not more.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

In the states there is a soft cream cheese like cheese simply called “goat’s cheese”, I am guessing that is the cheese to which they refer.

What's muenster doing way up there? I never knew that.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's Munster on the list, a washed-rind cheese from France. Muenster cheese in America is probably somewhere down around a used Ford Focus.

Oooohhh

That explains also my second question, "Why is muenster misspelled." Got it.

"Porsche isn't worth its weight in cheese!"

[receives call] Hello. Oh. It is? Just barely beats Roquefort. Well, fact checking's your job, Steve. Fine. [click]

"Roquefort is the Porsche of cheeses!"

The world needs more charts that are as of the wall as this.

Why does the x axis start at 5?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Exponential instead of linear.

If I were a graph, I would be this graph!

What in the chicken fried cheese curd is this semi log scale?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not a log scale, it's a wheel scale

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

A "I wanted to make my graph look this way so I chose this particular version of a log tranform" scale.

A bit cheesy if you ask me.

This explains why I just love that new cheese smell...

For funsies I calculated the Price per Pound for the M1A2 SEPv3 tank, which worked out to be about $163/lb. I guess it make sense that it's at the super car range haha

Where do warships come in on the chart?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Once again using Wikipedia numbers for the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, with a cost of $5.5 billion in 2024 dollars and a displacement of 101,600 long ton (227584006.38 lbs), that works out to be $24.16 if my math is correct.

Sucks if your recipe only calls for half a kilo though

"Swiss", fucking barbarians! (/s?)

Now I kinda want a cat brand where all the cars are named after cheeses.

Edit: I meant car brand, but I'm leaving it because it's funny.

lol i never realized the Ford F-150 Lightning was cheaper per pound than the standard F-150 considering that the lightning is heavier. Also wild that I've eaten cheese that was worth more than a RAV4 per pound lmao

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Might depend on the trim. Unless pricing has changed recently, a Lightning in the basic work truck trim is less expensive than a comparable gas engine work trim with the same size cab, bed, and 4WD. Usually only companies buy that trim, though.

The fuck? From the Cheddar I'm not surprised since is pure fat and all but what kind of Mozarella you have that is cheaper than a ricotta and a Honda Civic? WTF you put on the thing?

I'd rather have the yellow lines than the blue ones, thank you very much.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It says "max $400" but doesn't list ome of the really fun cheese like 50 year aged cheddar

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I want to try a cheese that costs more than a Ferrari

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Sounds like you're after the 100 year aged cheddar. That was like $400 a pound and sold in quarter pound cuts when I last saw it. Realistically you can't really taste the difference between 10 year and 25 year aged cheddar, but it gets crumblier as it ages, so 100 year is great for bragging rights but ultimately for your average splashing on fancy cheese just go for 7-10 year aged

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

For a real splurge, you want a Ferrari made of 100-year-old cheddar

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That has been my experience with most hyper-expensive food. Actually, all of it that I've tried.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

fun cheese

cheddar

I thought you would bring out some obscure stuff. Like at least Esrom or Harzer Roller.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

OK, but I'd like to see some information on depreciation before I make a purchase decision.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I would not have guessed the bottom of the car list.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why no individually-wrapped Kraft singles?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

A pound of those is 50% plastic, throws off the scale. And then there's the wrappers as well.
