I haven't heard that before, do you have a source where I could read more? I know fish at least is high in omega-3s... What is it about cooking the fat that makes it bad, and does that mean raw or rendered fats are fine?

This article is cherry picking numbers from a Redfin study. It says 28% empty-nest Boomers vs 14% Millennials with kids. Together those two subsets own 42% of large homes (3+ bedrooms). So that doesn't account for elder GenZ, Millennials without kids, all of GenX, and any boomers that don't count as "empty-nest" for whatever reason. It's not half corps like everyone keeps saying.
If you click through to the Business Insider article you can see that it's a misquote. Private investors accounted for 44% of the flips in 2023, not 44% of all single family home purchases total. That's still a problem, but it's a huuuuuge difference. Flips are a small minority of home sales.
I took the phrase "small business" to mean places with an actual storefront (restaurants, small shops, studios, and so on) who use FB or IG in lieu of having their own site. For those places it makes particularly little sense because social media isn't most people's first port of call when they're looking for somewhere to eat dinner or go thrifting.
What? Myself and most of my friends are Gen Z and nobody I know does this. Google Maps is always the first place I look, and 70% of the time I click through to the business's actual site.
Hell, most of us barely use IG at all anymore
15 passengers on average seems way higher than most buses I've been on. Maybe during the very busiest times, but buses run all day. The many hours they spend with just four or five people aboard will really tank the average.
Buses also have more tires than cars – usually at least 6, but sometimes 10 or more. I still doubt they're emitting more microplastics than cars per trip but the math isn't so simple.
I'm not sure what you would export, just your listening history and favorites? Pocket Casts doesn't host the actual audio files themselves, those are all available elsewhere online. I doubt there's an easy way to port your existing subscriptions and such to another app, that would require them all to use a standard format for that data and there's not really any incentive for that.
Worth noting that in October they're increasing their annual subscription price from $9.99 to $39.99, which is when I'll be finding another podcast app. I love Pocket Casts but it doesn't provide $40 worth of functionality for me.
Did you even bother to skim the article? That's literally the first reason they give:
There are a few theories that seem to come up again and again. First, Gen Z simply uses technology more than any other generation and is therefore more likely to be scammed via that technology.
There's one near me that only advertises the price with car wash. So the sign shows what you pay per gallon if you also decide to spend an extra $15 on a shitty automatic car wash. WTF??
