Not sure about the vodka vs beer analogy, but people have definitely quit smoking by switching to vaping. A hard addiction such as years of smoking needs to be slowly eased off, otherwise you’re just asking for health issues and a fast relapse.

2·9 months agoYeah, Iki was a loong time ago. Rimi has been the “main” grocery store for quite some time. Maxima has gathered a reputation of being a bit trashier, but also cheaper.
Didn’t even notice I joined Lemmy a year ago, thanks!

1·9 months agoI used it once when I noticed a hammock underquilt - something I’d been looking for (it’s basically a thermal layer for your hammock so your butt doesn’t freeze at night). For context, these can cost from 50€ to several hundred.
It did all the stupid prize wheel things and offered the typical bs it usually does. However it made me an offer - buy 6 items and the underquilt will be included free. It didn’t specify any prices or the typical “cheapest item is free”, so I bought 6 of the cheapest things I could find (something like 50 hair ties for 0.50€, a pizza knife for 1€ etc).
I got the underquilt (and some random things) for ~6€ and, surprisingly, it works extremely well, even for quite cold weather!
Never used the app again, though. After the initial offers to get you hooked, the prices are usually worse than buying locally or just using AliExpress.

2·9 months agoI’m from Latvia. I have the app, but I don’t believe for 1 second that it’s the most downloaded one. Hell, half the country doesn’t even like that grocery store and would much rather go to Rimi.
I think it’s the same thing as the guy in a recent NASCAR event using video game logic and just smashing into the wall to get around everyone faster - no one was dumb enough to try it before.

11·1 year agoI’d just like to interject and say we cause our own alcoholism, thank you very much. No help from our “friend” in the east needed.
Ah, so this is the post where that commenter got lost.
Oh please do tell if you find anything. I’ve been having the same issues for years.


I mean, girl asses are much prettier than guy asses. I’m a straight guy, though, so probably an even worse representative of the population.
