Apparently now we are supposed to call those short carts at the grocery store "cuck carts" https://bananaposter.club/attachment/480244

@moonman Those are weird. Here it's either normal shopping carts or baskets. No mid point. Some stores have smaller and bigger normal carts, and sturdy big ones for hardware shop areas, but that's it.

@nerthos @moonman We have a lot of those here in Canada because the aisles in many modern stores can be quite narrow so they fit better

@nerthos It actually has to do with land prices and thus rent, which is still silly though when you think about it because we're one of the largest countries in the world land mass wise.
-
@maiyannah That's what I mean. Urban areas get crowded, land prices go up, you start getting stupidly small and crowded everything. Then you get on a car and drive an hour off the city and land prices are down from $500/m2 to $10/m2

@nerthos That's universally the case everywheres here in Canada though. You can try to buy a postage stamp of land in buttFluffle Puff nowheres in the frozen north near Alert or something and it will still cost you a pretty penny.

@maiyannah Wow. That's ridiculous. Over here at least if you drive off into the rural areas land prices per meter go down a lot, and if the land isn't particularly fertile it's dirt cheap.

@nerthos Its still more expensive in the cities don't get me wrong but there is literally nowhere that's cheap compared to say for example the USA or even back home in the UK - and the UK kind of has justifiable reason for land being universally expensive because it's a much smaller space with a similar population.
