Whats not to know?

Step 1) Open the browser.

There is no step 2. Just go wherever you want, and read. Or watch videos. If you don’t know where something is, search for it. The browser does all the work. That’s like saying you don’t know how to use a microwave.

Here’s how you make people aware of your products.

You sell a quality product for a reasonable price.

That’s it.

Instead, capitolism has become this game of cat and mouse where the consumers ALWAYS lose. Just a game of shrinking product sizes, reducing quality, and raising prices. Little by little.

It’s most obvious when you haven’t had a product in a while, maybe years, and you grab it again. Only to realize they’ve gone through several iterations of enshitification.

When I was a kid, Andy Capps Cheese Fries used to be about as long as my pinky, and they were thick. Now it’s like the length of my pinky until my second knockle, and it’s like the same thickness as a pretzle stick. Sure, it’s technically the same product, but everytime I buy them I realize why I was disappointed the last time I bought them. And I won’t buy them for another 5 years. Maybe by then they’ll be the length of my pinky nail and as thick as a sewing pin, but cost 8 dollars instead of the 25 cents it was when I was a kid.

They did a durability test on hammers. In one side was an old rusty hammer. It had a date of 1931 on it. In the other was a brand new hammer bought that same day from Home Depot.

The new hammer crumbled long before the 1931 hammer did. This test was done in 2017.

But I never buy products because they advertise. I buy them because I remember how good it was the last time.

Except now, you’re advertising BAD memories. Because when I go in expecting this much, with this quality, and instead I get a fraction of it, with only a fraction of the quality…congradulations. You saved money on production costs. You also pushed your customer away from being a repeat customer.

All this business schools, and all the data they have I’m sure shows that their way is better. So explain to me why it seems businesses these days struggle to make the line go up, but when I was a kid business was booming?

Preach!!!

Like clockwork I continue to not be subscribed to peacock, or any other streaming, for this very reason.

Pay X amount per month, for a selection of content you don’t control, have no ownership of, cannot retain a copy of (longterm), and whose price is subject to change at any time.

Ooooorrrrrrr…I could buy physical media, and rip my own permanent copy, which never expires, andwhose cost is a one time purchase.

Why the fuck is physical media dying??? Oh, right. I live in the same country that willingly voted for trump, and are now shocked to learn he’s a shitty person.

In other words, I’m surrounded by morons.

About 3 hours.

Here’s what we do. We all stop buying.

Stop buying what?

Yes.

Stop.

Line goes down until they stop.

As a moderator of fuck_ai, I’m against all ai existing. As a human being with a functional brain, I’m against cybertrucks existing.

So I’m torn.

Aren’t you guys glad that we dismantled government regulation of businesses long ago? Now we get cars that are racist! Yaaaaaay!

If they did this here, I’d just stop using bluesky. I’m 41. But I have no interest in verifying ages online. We’ve all seen how poorly companies handle intetnal security.

Just yesterday McDonalds had their entire database of applications compromised because someone tried the password 123456.

Bluesky would be dropped instantly.

Are you sure you’re a dancing bear? Are you related to the masturbating bear from Conan O Brian’s late night show in the 90s?

I’ve never seen any mcdonalds advertise or service 24/7 schedules. Not since the pandemic.

Walmart and Target stopped too.

Walgreens/CVS is the only thing I know that still does 24/7.

If the 90s taught me anything, it’s that hacking is done exclusively on monochrome green monitors, with dos. Except once they hack in, the monitor is full color, and somehow has access to every video camera on the planet. With the ability to enhsnce resolution seemingly to magical levels where you can see a clear reflection in someones pupil.

ENHANCE!!!

Many are 24/7.

Lies detected.

What does their basketball skills have to do with this?

ETA? Estimated Time of Arrival?

One of us doesn’t know what that stands for. I feel like the time my grandpa died, and mom sent me an email telling me “We’re going to the funeral this Friday to pay respects to grandpa. LOL!”

I was quite confused. Turns out she grew up with “Lots Of Love”. For a second she seemed like she turned into an absolute psychopath, for like…no reason.

Jeff Apple is walking down the stairs. I’ve met Jeff Apple. All the Apples really. Big family. Yuuuuge Apple family, some might say. And I’ll say it. Because nobody is saying it enough. Folks, wouldn’t it be great if we could all build a great big Apple?

Unclear if you worked for the army, or for Mcdonalds. Either way you were probably paid about the same, and had to go to war every day.

So the military has been bound by the same handcuffs that McDonalds is with it’s ice cream machines?

It was messed up that McDonalds agreed to that. It’s TERRIFYING that the group in charge of our military ever did.

What I’m curious is what kind of ball are you shaped like?

A golf ball? With divots all over your skin? A basketball? Just round? A baseball? With stitches all over your skin like later years Chucky? A football? Are you Stewie Griffen? Testicles? Wait, are you saying your whole body is one big testicle? Oh my god, the Iron Shiek wasn’t speaking broken english! He was just talking about you!!! “I hit him right in the ball this big!”

Well what ends up happening is some company will have a CEO.

He’ll make all the stupid decisions. But they’re only stupid from everybody ELSES perspective.

From his perspective, he uses AI, tanks the companies future in the chase of large short term stock gains. Then he gives himself a huge bonus, leaves the company, gets hired somewhere else, and gets to say “See how that company is failing without me? That’s because I bring value to the brand.”

So he gets hired at the neeeext place, meanwhile that first company is failing because of the actions of a CEO no longer employed there, and whom bailed because he knew what was coming.

These actions aren’t stupid. They’re plotted corruption for the benefit of one.
