It will never not be funny to me when I see people who can't afford it bragging on social media about eating these leaf coloured steaks. Often, the steaks don't look very good at all. How do you even get bad steak in America, it's one of the few foods the US does really well.
(Link to tweet for those who want it, but there's nothing really to see - Just a waiter cutting a steak).
If you want a bad steak in America, just go to Applebees and ask your waiter Sargon for a well done steak. Walmart sometimes has really cheap steaks (or did in the 90s when I was growing up) that no matter how much you marinate them will always taste like chewy rubber.
 
I feel the same way about girls (and guys too) with obscure T.V shows and movies. I can't tell you how many times I heard "OMG Buffy!" or "firefly was the greatest show of all time!"
I'm pretty sure those series don't count as "obscure" lmao.

The only decent "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" material was the film version with Kristy Swanson and Paul Reubens, and only because Swanson wore super-tight form-fitting spandex in most of it and bounced her tits around a lot, and Reubens was entertaining. The series was dogshit and I can't believe anybody actually watched it.
 
"TikTok Made Me Buy It"
At least the boomer couple at the start of the video seem to pick more functional items overall compared to the other stuff.

The fact that Soomers are just repeating what Boomers had with the Home Shopping Network has already been well-established, but it still surprises me to see it in action.
They also streamlined it for ultimate purchasing. No more waiting listening to Todd for whoever try to sell you a ring for 5 minutes straight before you can look at the next item.

What gets me is I imagine a lot of them will say "it's more genuine" than regular advertisement, without realizing these people are surviving off your amazon affiliate links.

It's because of social media. Now everybody needs to have a personal brand : it must be recognizable in the abysmal attention span of the social media addicted man, having something too complex would confuse it and made him click on the next brightly colored picture. This is why everything is dumbed down on the web2 era, compared to the intricate personal blogs we had back then. But hey, I guess now you have sponsorships and can monetize your social media posts to buy tons of slave labor plastic shit.

I miss the old web before it was completely taken over by corporate interests.

I still use search engines like Wiby to find niche information since it's pretty much impossible with how current search engines work, even the "better" ones. I don't care about your amazon affiliate link wordpress blog, Barb.

I've found the most autistic shit on there, like a site detailing every single Lamp Post known to man. Also several VERY in depth small electronics parts archival catalogues that were super helpful. But also just silly stuff like the cat site you don't see anymore.
I clicked 'surprise me" and click 4 had opened a page that tried to force-modify Vpn settings in my phone.
You asked it to surprise you.
 
Hey, did you all get your Amazon catalog? Apparently everyone is black now. The one pure white family was shown in a forest cabin. Funny, that's probably where my family will fuck off to so we can get away from all the disabled negroes of color. Nailed it Amazon!

They kept showing Asians and blacks being friends too which I have doubts about. Last interaction I saw was a black mama yelling "ching Chong Ching Chong" at the poor Asian girl working at Panda Express.

Sounds about right. Ghetto niggers and east Asians living in the US might as well be living in different worlds in terms of values and attitude.

Do Amazon catalogs really exist? Is it a specific type of catalog? Google tells me they've got a toy catalog, and here's a small negro child and an Asian engaging in delinquency so apparently that's a priority for the company.

I believe you though, and I also believe that if someone tried to deliver an Amazon Catalog to my residence I'd chase them away with a stick. I'll tell you what I need when I need it Amazon, don't get uppity.

Was at my grandparents not too long ago and they had the physical Amazon Catalog (which I did not know they did). When I cracked it opened out of curiosity, I was greeted with fat mulattas with the biggest and grossest septum piercings. I'm sure they were equally as repulsed.

First time this year getting an adult Christmas catalog! I was shocked AND appalled. I've been getting the kids one for a few years now, but I find the whole thing bizarre. Amazon is where I look up shit I already know about to see if I can get it cheaper, or where I look to see if the thing I want actually exists.

The catalog was going to be immediately shit canned, but I counted two black people (one in a wheelchair) on the cover and one redheaded white child so I couldn't help but thumb through to see what other representation was in there. No downs syndrome. Do Better Amazon.

The people that put it together must absolutely love hot boxing their own flatulence. Can't you just imagine the legendary ass rip that occured as the graphic design intern literally centered a disabled black woman on the cover of an Amazon catalog?
 
I didn't know physical catalogues were still a thing. I haven't seen one since the days when taking a copy of the Argos catalogue home with you was A Thing That People Did. Have you ever thought about how Argos is basically just pre-internet Amazon that still exists for boomers who can't use the internet? What even is the point of a physical Amazon catalogue anyway, since you still have to use the online store to buy the things?

Once when I was 5 years old, my parents handed me a copy of the Argos catalogue so I could write down what I wanted Santa to get for me for Christmas. But because I had no understanding of money and childlike magical thinking, I thought that you could write down as much stuff from the catalogue as you wanted and Santa would get it all for Christmas. So my Christmas list was 2 pages long and totalled approximately £1,500. Laughs were had all round at my childlike innocence and my parents told me to narrow it down to a couple things.
 
It can be manipulative (and at least annoying) when using an ad blocker is claimed to be the same as "stealing content" or "piracy".

Blocking ads is more like not leaving a tip for the street performer who's already out there on the street performing. Or it's like muting ads on TV or radio. Not all want to be flooded with endless and easily manipulative ads (especially in Current Year Clown World). Not to mention that internet ads can be risky to privacy, and PC security.

Can you imagine watching some ambience video to relax, but every so often it's loudly interrupted by advertising? Like ocean sounds interrupted by "HEY YOU BUY PRODUCT"?
