= Ciro Santilli's cheapness
{c}
When Ciro was a teenager, he was extremely cheap e.g. for clothes, food and <video games> even tough his family didn't have bad financial conditions.
This was mostly to save the world by not wasting resources that other people in need could use, and to save money so he could have more money to do <unconditional basic income>[more of whatever he wanted without the obligation to work].
But Ciro admits that shocking people with the incredible level of low quality goods was also fun.
Ciro changed <Ciro Santilli's formal education>[after he came to Europe], especially in regards to food, perhaps corrupted by the fact that now the best chocolates, cheeses and breads in the world were not much more expensive than the cheapest brand you could buy. He still <luxury goods>[hates clothes that are just to look good like costumes though].
Living close to a small <favela>, <São Remo, the favela next to USP>, helped Ciro get frighteningly cheap goods on the shop frequented by the favela neighbours.
One legendary story is that of when his flatmate dropped some past on the kitchen floor, and the bowl broke, but Ciro prevented the flatmate from throwing it away and ate some of it nevertheless. What spooked them out the most was Ciro's statement that the pasta now had a crunchy glass shard texture to it.
