    One of my favorite lines in the game is (paraphrasing):

    The problem with the bugs is that they’re relentless expansionists. We’ve found them on almost every planet in their territory that we’ve colonized.

    It’s also pretty clear that we’ve been farming the bugs for space oil.

    Works even better in Ruby, as the code as given is valid, you just need to monkey patch length:

    #!/usr/bin/env ruby
    
    module DayLength
      def length
        if ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"].include? self
          "24 hours"
        else
          super
        end
      end
    end
    
    class String
      prepend DayLength
    end
    
    day = "Monday"
    
    x = day.length
    
    print(x)

    It could be Ruby; puts is more common, but there is a print. With some silly context, the answer could even be correct:

    #!/usr/bin/env ruby
    
    module DayLength
      def length
        if ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"].include? self
          "24 hours"
        else
          super
        end
      end
    end
    
    class String
      prepend DayLength
    end
    
    day = "Monday"
    
    x = day.length
    
    print(x)

    Thanks for assuming a ton there, asshole.

    I have been there. I have scraped together coins I could find to buy a single pound of dry pasta, to eat it plain. Repeatedly.

    Money is not such an issue for me these days, but depression is. I know how hard it can be to do the minimal steps to make food.

    I understand how precious time, money, and energy can be. I have eaten cereal and the like for plenty of meals I shouldn’t have, and have always regretted it.

    There are better options.

    A $20 rice cooker is the same as like 5 boxes of cereal. If you are too money pressed, but have some time, one can likely be found nearly free at a thrift store or yard sale, or you can cook rice or pasta in a pot instead.

    If you don’t have access to a cooking surface, we’re getting to houselessness territory, which is a huge problem and is affecting far too many people, but is beyond just being poor or not having time.

    Edit: And if all that is too much, you can eat cold beans from a can. I have done this as well. It’s not great, but it’s a better option than cereal still.
