So you hire a personal cook?!

You may be cheapass, although I don’t see how, but you are definitely also loaded.

I can relate to that, partially. Sadly I’m impulsive and will eat out or order food (I can’t afford to hire a cook anyway lol), but I tend to own one pair of shoes, a pair of jeans, 2-3 pairs of shorts and a handful of black t-shirts. All my socks are the same so I don’t have to throw out a pair if one sock develops a hole (socks are a bit of an expense for me, I don’t get the cheapest ones because those start smelling really quickly for me for some reason)
Wide sweeping generalizations about entire generations. I don’t know a single millennial that uses those food delivery services. Clearly someone is using them, but i guarantee it’s just about evenly distributed across the population.
Seems to be unpopular to admit in this post, but I use food delivery apps. Yes, the fees are ridiculous, but I can afford it. I don’t do it every day, but I do at least once a week.
I hate cooking and I hate dishes. It’s never pleasant. No, I can’t personally make something at home “better than most takeouts”. If you can, good for you. It’s not for me and I’m lucky that I am able to get takeout.
Honestly, I don’t know how in the world one human is able to keep up with working 40 hours a week, cook, dishes, laundry, clean, etc. It’s all too much for me. Hell, the state of my laundry has been insane the last several weeks.
Once you learn how to reduce a lot of that, there is less waste and less cooking and waiting and yes the food is better than food delivered to your door. Even the cheapest frozen pizzas are better than the majority of pizzas delivered to door and pizza companies are the best at delivering fresh food to your door.
If you don’t want to do dishes then use paper plates. Like, you can both simultaneously generate less trash and have better food.
I agree that it’s impossible to keep up with chores. I do just a little every day and that helps keep the number down but it’s still impossible. But like if I’m going to get food from a restaurant (which i do) i go pick it up. It will get to me faster, I’ll eat it fresher, it will taste better, and it will be cheaper. Like the only upside to the food delivery apps is that you don’t have to go outside, which honestly is a downside for a lot of people in this day and age. We need people to interact more.

Man you must have some absolute shit pizza places near you, I’ve had lots of frozen pizza and lots of pizza delivery. Frozen pizza can beat out the bottom tier chain pizza places (e.g. Little Caesars), but that’s about it
With covid, pizza places stopped cooking their pizzas fully. We get a soggy mess, with a soft crust, and way too much cheese every time. On top of that you’re still waiting for the delivery on a route of x other pizzas. It’s faster and better to just pick it up yourself. And then you can check it and tell them to cook it properly when they inevitably don’t cook it all the way through.
Start ordering well done
I do. Every time. They still barely cook it. Which is why going in to pick it up is still better, cause i can see and tell them to fix it which you can’t really when it’s delivery.
It’s so weird to me. I live in a place where people like their meat cooked to total destruction of flavor and tenderness, and that’s how it’s done. You can order a rare steak and get medium. I still like thin dough well done when it comes to pizza though, New York pizza basically.
This meme is as American as it gets.
Cooking your own food is pretty normal in most of the rest of the world, regardless of generation nonsense.
I’d say that it’s more of an economical difference than a cultural one. Rich people will always order (they don’t have time to cook) and their kids are not taken care of by them (not cooked for) so they order too.
