London, Salisbury/Stonehenge, and Liverpool. 10 days total. I’ve always been a bit of an Anglophile, a big history nerd, and a huge Beatles fan. I can’t wait!

cattywampas@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage?English131·5 days agoIt’s largely a myth that ancient and medieval people brewed beer for lack of fresh drinking water, kind of like the “spices were for eating rotten meat” myth. People have always known how to find fresh water or preserve meat.
The main reason people have always brewed beer and wine is because they’re good. Small beer was in fact made for funsies.
And, interestingly, in certain places and times there was also a cultural reason as drinking those was higher status than water which was “for commoners.”

Murphy’s Oil Soap for hardwood floors! I know OP asked for homemade, but tbh I don’t think you’re going to make a good homemade soap. Not very easily anyway.

corporations destroying the environment more in 1 day than a human could in 1 million years
I take a little umbridge with this line of thought, because a lot of the waste and pollution is driven by demand from the masses.
I don’t think this is a good point. Just by living you’re going to be using resources of some kind, it’s simply unavoidable. I would worry less about trying to consume zero resources and more about particularly harmful things, like single-use plastics. Especially since fresh water is not an issue in some places, like where I am.
Honestly, if you’re going to a table service restaurant, it might be even better than eating at home. You’re not going to get much plastic waste from single use items like you would with fast food, and because of the scale of the operation I could believe that restaurants are creating less waste per meal than individuals cooking at home. Think of a case of chicken breast versus individually packaged ones and the amount of plastic each uses, for example.
