The other day, I read that red skin could be a sign of diabetes. And dude, he ate the food made by the nigress with his hands. Is prohibiting the use of cutlery a part of black history month, since niggers usually don't have access to it?

And all the fucking vids in your post are almost 30 min, they are so tedious and boring to watch through.

Nah man, you gotta skip through and watch them at 2x speed. It's nightmare-fuel kino.
Like, listen to this one, the cadence sounds like he's trying to be Doug from Up.

I can't sleep, so I had to try it. You are so right! Major Doug feels. I'd want to kill him at normal speed.

I always wondered how often book hoarders actually re-read their hoard, if they even read all the books at all. I've ran into quite a few and it's considered the "acceptable" type of hoarding because books = smart.
I think part of the problem is that you never know if you'll want to read that book again. Same thing goes with video games or movies. You might read, watch or play it once and think immediately afterwards that you'll never do it again. But then a few years down the road you suddenly want to and since you still have it in your collection you can.
 
Got a consoomer story from the car world today. I've said before that sites like BringATrailer or Collecting Cars are absolute cancer and are artificially driving up the cost of decent classic cars due to their effortpost adverts catering to a presentation-obsessed audience of gay redditors.

I believe that over the last few days we have reached peak BringATrailer:

Yes, that's right. Now you can own a BMW M Technic steering wheel for the same price as a crusty automatic 316i! You might be asking why this wheel fetched so much money, and it's all down to that magic size of 370mm.

This particular wheel is rare, even by M Technic back-catalogue standards. You'll see a lot of other wheels in this style and some that even look the same at first glance, but those are 385mm and who wants that?

I find it amazing that the car scene has gulped this down to such a degree, no steering wheel is worth 2 grand.

The other day I saw this at the liquor store and bought it because I wanted mead and it was the only mead in stock. Maybe I'm just too hardcore an anti-consoomer or something, but something about it bothered me.

It was good, but overpriced for what it was. I'm sure someone, somewhere bought this and keeps the bottle in their room next to the rest of their Star Wars horde.
 
People are disappointed by the Superbowl ads. Lord help us.

I'm glad it was at least decent. I think we've all seen way too many things that just stick a IP on the label on some sugar water and call it a day.

Superbowl ads have been as big of a draw to the Superbowl as the actual football game as long as I can remember, though now that I think of it, that really is a seriously consoomer-tier thing to care about. Commercials are generally seen as a necessary evil, except for Super Bowl Sunday, because the ad space starts at seven figures and the draw is that they're really gonna go all out and shove their brand in your face. I get the appeal, the appeal that the ads are big budget short films, but they can't really be films with any substance, because their entire purpose is to sell you on a product. Not to mention, personally, I know I've seen a bunch of assorted Super Bowl ads, yet the only one I can remember was this one ad for a local place, I think maybe like an auto mechanic, where it was literally just the guy and some employees of his in a shop saying "Yep, we paid a fortune for this super bowl ad! Everyone wave to the camera! Well if you need your brakes fixed or some shit, come on down to Chuck's Queers and Rears, and we'll inspect your tailpipe for free"
 
Big heckin traumarino there, much reddit gold for that kind stranger who immediately got online for internet updoots instead of doing literally god damn anything else to handle that failing relationship.

The absolute state

Super Bowl parties are a huge thing and if you aren't into football the commercials are a welcome reprieve since it at least gives you something to watch and talk about, that's really the main appeal of them.
 
Oh no! She pulled down a shelf! I don't see any damage to the pops or the boxes. It's almost like she was trying to really annoy you without actually harming the things you value; you know, like someone who cares about you but is really angry with you would do. Maybe some boxes got crushed, but I saw an image of a brand new game console that some insane girlfriend literally destroyed because her boyfriend played on it when she wanted attention, so ya know, count yourself lucky.
 
Notice how the shelf has a wall anchor up top to stop this from happening and buddy boy just straight up ain't using it. Although I am curious as to how all those funkos in the background ended up on top of and behind that other shelf, he must have more wall shelves above the picture. Credit where it's due to Funko Pop though, those boxes are decently made to be thrown off shelves and survive totally intact like that, assuming that's what actually happened.
 
JUST before John Madden died, these games (like all sports games) were absolutely worthless, even sealed.
Someone even made a urinal out of them.
When K-Marts started dying 20 years ago, some of them pulled out bins full of hoards of secondhand NES and SNES cartridges repackaged by a 3rd party. I got so excited at first, but then saw it was 99% Madden.

I think the Funkos on top were stacked on top of the shelves, and she smacked that shit over so fast, the top Funkos were briefly suspended in air like Wile E. Coyote.
