Thai Tea Chia Pudding, aka #ONO (overnight oats, minus the oats)

20260115 #breakfastdiary day 1615, 3°C/cloudy “People still prefer human experiences — things like dating, cooking, hobbies. It's just that the way we do them has changed. Outsourcing. We've handed the experience itself off to someone else.” Take an example. We get hooked on reality dating shows precisely because of this — we find pleasure in watching other people's emotions play out. We even outsource 'how we're supposed to feel' by watching the panel's reactions. Watching chefs painstakingly cook on video while I eat convenience food is the same thing. Both our emotional experience and how we consume food, clothing, and shelter have been handed over to someone else.
