There is fundamentally no reason to ever cook ramen broth from scratch, it's inefficient, takes too long, takes too much planning and overly expensive.
You literally get better results from just buying a shit ton of instant ramens and using their bouillons

The paitan (super thick and cloudy broths) are worth making yourself imo unless there's a good analog I don't know about yet.
Good way to reuse fat and bones too

why bother with ramen at all? just eat whatever random crap you have laying around. or don't eat all and just starve to death. doesn't matter really, life is meaningless

At home, yeah. It's traditionally a food you only get from restaurants. Waste of effort to only make enough for a small amount of people.

Unless you're buying LKK, which I doubt you are, it's garbage. Every supermarket tonkotsu broth I've tried that wasn't LKK was shit.
