So when I buy a steak I’m in effect having a huge feast with lots of people. >

Technically the truth, but not exactly the same as say a bbq restaurant selling both halves of the chicken within an hour. >

soulmate AU where you two never actually meet but you keep sharing things without knowing >

I feel like maybe.. we shared a rotisserie chicken together.. in another time, another place 🔮 >

Deep… >

Same as a triple sandwich. Someone else is having that other half. >

This is like saying whenever I eat bread a share a meal with lots of strangers because the grains of wheat are distributed along lots of loafs of bread during the milling process >

i mean i guess you're right but I've never bought half a chicken before. Is that thing that people do? >

It is in Australia >

ive never seen that in australia. what part of australia are we talking about here? >

The part with chickens so large you only buy half of one >

And it’s perfectly fine to do so. The more we share our excess resources, the closer we become as a community. I hope to do so even more in the future. >

You won't shame me into not eating a whole chicken! >

Well it wouldn’t be excess resources if you plan to eat it all. Food for thought. (Pun intended) >

I just keep track of which half I’ve eaten and always get the other side the next time. >

So when I read a book....
Or if you think about it (this is Reddit after all) having sex. you are having sex with the genetic pairing of their ancestors >

there’s a poem about strangers sharing fruit that is very similar to this - can’t seem to remember what it was called but it’s very warm-fuzzy feeling >

I often share meals with strangers anyway. Too bizzy for fine print.
