I am genuinely floored by how many people here are claiming to actually eat breakfast. Tf is all the chia pudding bananas toast eggs shit??? For me, and everyone I know, breakfast is a special occasion for days off. My wife and I make breakfast maybe 10 times a year. I've always heard Lemmy's average age is on the higher end, and this thread has confirmed it for me.

Uh... you're shocked that people eat breakfast? That's so insane to me

Well I mean you put oats in a jar overnight and take them to work or school in the morning. Easier still is keeping instant oats at work if you can. Breakfast is important man idk about skipping it everyday.

If you're doing office work, breakfast really isn't that important

[–] oascany@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I do office work and feel pretty bad if I skip breakfast, even if I pull an early lunch. That's probably because I'm used to breakfast, but I still think it's important enough to take 5 minutes at night to put oats in the fridge.

Maybe those who don't eat breakfast or eat nothing fancy don't feel motivated to comment so there could be some bias in the comments.

There are some of us who wake up early to work out and have breakfast with our significant others before work. You don't have to be old to appreciate spending time together, or make room for it in your life.

My wife leaves for work at 7:30a, I've been up since 5:30a spending the morning with her. Sometimes those two hours are the highest quality time we'll spend together all day, fewer distractions.
