It works for me on mobile Firefox (version 128.0.3).
I was going to attach a screenshot, but that doesn't seem to be working.
I mean it's basically anything that massively affects your living situation or how you outwardly present / function as a person.
Want to live in a hole in the desert, or a cabin in the woods, or in a semi-legal squat? It would be pretty hard to maintain a relationship with a partner whose not also into living that way.
Want to convert the interior of your house to look like a Star Trek set? Better find someone that wants to live on the USS Enterprise.
Are you into extreme body modification? Better find someone whose alright with their partner surgically altering themselves to look like a Klingon.
There are also plenty of interests that are just risky or disruptive, like doing urban exploration, running a home chemistry lab, building tesla coils, etc. Tesla coils are just loud, urban exploration can get you arrested (though it's unlikely anything of consequence will actually happen to you), and two of the amateur chemistry YouTube channels I watch have been raised by the police because the amount of glassware they bought set off an alarm (neither of them were charged with anything though). If you do any of those and your partner isn't interested in them at all I can't imagine that not being a pain point, considering that risk/disruption is also on top of you spending significant time / energy / cash on a hobby they have nothing to do with.
Finally, there are more benign hobbies like through hiking or immersive historical reenactment where, if your partner's not coming with you, they'd have to be okay with you disappearing for weeks at a time and not being able to talk to them.
I think you might be underestimating the intensity of some people's interests and how much of their being is defined by them, especially non-neurotypical people.
EDIT: Like, if you live in a van with solar panels on the roof you should probably find a partner that's also cool living inside a van.
If you spend a significant stints at home wearing a fursuit, you should probably find a partner that enjoys or at least doesn't mind living with what looks like an anthropomorphic furry creature.
If you regularly consume large doses of halcinogens to explore the limits of human consciousness you should probably find a partner that's doesn't mind hearing about how you saw an infinite blade made of time that slices the present moment into two parts: the past and the future.
People are going to look back at single use alkaline cells like we were insane. "You mean they had batteries that would destroy themselves after a single use? And they just threw them in the trash afterwards and kept buying new ones over and over? And they did this despite the fact that the technology for reusable batteries existed????"
Even now there are single use vapes and phone chargers out there. They're going to think we're even more insane for that, and rightfully so.
the production of highly processed foods
Source?
The US congressional research service thinks EU subsidies are more spread out among all types of crops, including fruits and vegetables, whereas US policy focuses more on grains, sugars, dairy, and oil seeds: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R46811
That's not a direct subsidy of food processing of course, but the crops the US chooses to support ends up incentivizing it.
And this paper also makes it sound like subsidized crops in the US end up in processed foods: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2530901
So we were talking about supply, not consumption. But regardless, yes americans choose to eat processed foods more on average. So?
Cultural factors are a thing but I think they're used far too often to explain away trends at the population level and the effects of public policy.
The US has lower rates of food contamination from e.g. Salmonella or E coli, which I think is what that study is measuring. However, I think food in the EU generally has superior, better tasting, ingredients. There are two reasons I believe this to be the case. The first one probably has a smaller impact than the second.
The first reason that in the US an ingredient must be proven to be harmful before the FDA is allowed to ban it. In the EU an ingredient must be proven to be safe before it is allowed in commercial products.
The second reason is that while both the US and EU have farming subsidies, the way these subsidies are structured means that in the US they tend to incentivize the use of high fructose corn syrup and the production of highly processed foods while in the EU highly processed foods tend to be more expensive and "whole foods" tend to be cheaper.
As a result people in the EU tend to eat less processed food as a percentage of their caloric intake:
Absent the effect of gravity hair strands have a tendency to straighten and spread out. Usually astronauts with long hair tie it up, but there are some pictures showing what this looks like:
Makes me wonder whether that's depicted in the manga.
