If it's anything like me when I set my alarms expect them to go off exactly 12 hours from the point you meant to set them.

This is why you use 24-hour clocks for alarm setting.

Bread? Cholesterol? How many breads does your chicken lay in the morning?

On a similar note, I'm disappointed that my breakfast cereal options are basically either "40% sugar by volume" or "dry flavorless grains: now with extra boredom". Additionally, the dry flavorless grains option is generally supposed to be made more appealing by a flavored milk of some kind, like one of the probiotic cultured milks... except there again, the selection is between "a spoonful of sugar helps the sweetener go down" and "freshly fermented from the teat of an incredibly misanthropic cow". And of course I just read the bit about how recent studies aren't showing a whole lot of good from probiotics, so there's that.

The reason I'm looking at cereals as opposed to bacon and thyme omelets is because cereal is the least labor-intensive option and thus actually stands a chance of being eaten in the morning... A mediocre meal is better than no meal at all.

Go full müsli. Never look back. The only reason you think ordinary cereal is bland is that you are used to and desensitized by the hyper sugarized ones. Lowering your sugar intake will make you more sensitive to sweetness again.

Also filmjölk is your friend. Don't you dare say anything bad about it.

I'm currently eating "4-grain". Ingredients: Barley, wheat, oats, rye. Nothing else. Not even roasted.

It's a bit bland... But almost every other müsli in stores has about 30-40 grams of sugar per 100. There are one or two hand-crafted vintage rustic free range granolas with less added sugar, but they're about $14 for every 137-gram bag or however they're packaged...

Nope, I checked and they were set for the right half of the day. I should really set my phone's clock to 24-hour time, though... that's what I normally use.

Muesli is abhorrent and I'm not sure I should encourage the consumption of such a substance, but couldn't you just buy the cheapest non-sugary version and smash some maple syrup in there or something?   
My current cereal is actually not that far removed from muesli, to be honest... but it's clusters of oats with actual flavour added, so it's not nearly as bad. Recently I discovered this awesome brand of shredded-wheat-rectangle-things-type cereal which is delicious, with only four ingredients, but I tend to just buy whatever's on special (within reason, of course).

I've been trying to eat more cereal/fiber in general.

Why would anyone dislike müsli

It is literally one of the cornerstones of life

Disliking müsli is saying you dislike fruits and nuts

And what kind of person doesn't like nuts or fruits

Depends on the nuts and the fruits.  Cashew, cherry, apricot - Great.  Plum, kumquat, hazelnut - Hhmmmm.  Raisin, monkeypuzzle, date - The Devil's Arse.

[Yoink]

Raisins are probably the best fruit of all, though... dates are pretty tops, too, though I admit I may be biased in their favour due to their pun potential.


Muesli is just cereal ingredients that have tragically failed to realise their potential. Shit, they didn't even manage to form a muesli bar.
If you wanna eat oats you could at least go for a bowl of delicious porridge without much more effort.

Here in Brazil, there's a typical fruit called "Açaí" which can only be found here or in some few places around Africa. BOOOOOOOOY is that thing good, when you make Ice Cream out of it, it definitely feels like tasting heaven!

[Yoink]

Oooh, I've only tried açai like once or twice, probably in a smoothie or a muesli bar or something. I'll have to try it again, they're little red berries that look kinda like goji berries, right?

[GPeter]

Acctually they're pretty blackish, the fruit itself isn't that good, but when turned into a juice or smoothie, ice cream or pulp, it becomes incredibly good, especially with bananas and granola

Started playing slither.io, so of course the wifi decided to go to absolute wank for no readily discernible reason.

Curses. I was starting to get big and I heard steps coming towards my office.  Score ruined.

As expected, response to the new Venom movie is...not good.
Typical Sony, fucking shit up yet again.
