Ok and just confirming, these same eggs- brand, size, quality - used to cost like a lot more a couple months ago? Where I live prices went up... Stayed there

They're upgrading to XP now right? Right?

Some, yes, but that was not the case when photography emerged- the time when paintings were the way of showing and recording what things looked like.

Even today, most food porn photos are of prepared meals, not so much harvests which was the classic still life subject back then. I'd risk saying most people prefer paintings of harvested goods to photos even today, although you do have photos of them of course. Finally... People use paintings to embellish their homes and to display their wealth, which is not the case with insta images.

Stupidity highlighted in the post aside - that's not my country, is it true that eggs now cost $2 when they used to be $8?

Oh it was you responsible for the bot? I appreciate knowing that, it's more personal! Thanks for posting the game either way. (Today I sucked at it ha)

You can use celery sticks to scoop up peanut butter. They go well with all sorts of nuts in salads. That being said, I'm not a fan of celery

Nobody cared to photograph apples in a bowl or flowers. It was obvious the photographs were nowhere near as interesting as paintings unless you were particularly gifted with lights and a camera.

Personal portraits on the other hand, were far more useful on everyday basis and more accurate as photographs, even if some glamour was sacrificed in the trade off.
