I thought you guys were joking about being tracked by your toilet paper, then I kept reading back through the thread, and now I want to die.

The worst part is that it automatically orders new toilet paper whenever the roll is empty. Now, the average TP is sold in packs with multiple rolls. So if this thing works as advertised, that means that it will automatically order a new pack of toilet paper every time you finish one roll - meaning you will soon find yourself swamped with TP packs by the time you're finished with the one you already have.

Maybe there's a button on it like the auto order buttons they send you.

I rated this horrifying but only because KF doesn't have a :story: react. Because that's hilarious and awful.

That rainbow shelf is just awful on so many levels, but the worst sin is how impractical the whole set up is. Would be hard to find anything since you've organized everything by color and not useful measures like genre/publisher/alphabetical/etc. so you'll probably spend most of your time trying to find things. You also have to deal with all that crap stuck on top of the piles and in front that you'll have to awkwardly shift out of the way, not even mentioning the weird stacking adding another layer of awkward shuffling if you want the book on the bottom. What happens if you buy a book that doesn't fit any of the colors?

Whole thing feels like an Ikea display that was never meant to actually be touched. I know finding the perfect organization method for a collection can be a pain, have the same problem with my book/movies, but I think sorting by color is probably one of the most retarded methods I've seen.

No need to fear, technology is here!
Use the QR code stickers on each shelf to track things and you'll be able to search for items on your smartphone!

I actually know a lot of people who bought shit from Instagram, my feed is absolutely plagued by commercial reels and “small shop owners” post.

It’s also interesting that said “small shop owners” seem to sell the same stuff they clearly get from the same China seller.

There’s no escape.

Sometimes yes, many times no, but even then you're stuck with TV remote menus. Honestly it's just best to get a cheap wireless mouse and keyboard and hook a regular TV up to your PC since that way you get the full functionality of the website and browser.

My dad - a man with a degree in computer science - can't seem to understand this idea and instead uses the YouTube app and TV remote to slowly, painstakingly type with the on-screen keyboard to search for what he wants to watch.

I told him I could probably attach a paper tape reader to speed the whole process up.

I just know this is going to be a cursed viewing experience. Packing Candy Orders legit looks like "shops" that go to Costco and buy wholesale, then ship tooth-rotting candy to those E-Gamer thots so they can pour them into cherry blossom dishes with Rilakkuma cups filled with soda and their long nails tapping everything.

I believe in Capitalism, I really do, but sometimes there are just things you don't need.

I don't think those two are the same thing. Isn't FB Marketplace a place where users put up ads while FB/Insta ads are the corporate, "official", paid ones? The former being like the dirty noticeboard on the ground floor of your apartment building while the latter like the massive billboard in front of the building.

FB Marketplace is usually parents trying to get rid of children's toys/puzzles/"antiques". Women who work from home selling that Scentsy crap or homemade soap. And a hilarious amount of funko pops trying to be offloaded. The ads you usually see on the side without an adblocker are definitely corporate or chinese resellers.

I replied with lunacy because there isn't a "physical pain" reaction.

I hate Smart TVs so much. I'm worried about the day my TV (from 2010) kicks the bucket, I have to scour the shops and car boot sales for a dumb TV.
I hate all these menus because they're so slow! If I want to watch YT on a big screen, I'd rather connect my PC and I get to use as block too! Though I'll need a wireless keyboard and mouse for use away from my desk but it'll be more worth it than sitting through annoying ads.

There's a whole unspoken thing about how great HDTVs were from right before the smart TV era, like the ones from around 2007-2012. You'd usually get something like 2-3 HDMI outs, 2 component outs, 1-2 composite outs, RF out, and maybe even optical audio and VGA out. And of course, a whole slew of on-TV buttons to change the channel and control the volume, which isn't something to take for granted anymore. Even the problem with weak speakers on early HDTVs seemed to be more or less solved by this point.

Nobody ever talks about this era of TVs, but I swear, it's when HDTVs peaked. And I'm in a similar boat, I've got a nice 2008 Samsung TV that already has one dead HDMI port.

Ugly jewellery and body butter/lipgloss is exactly what I was thinking about.
I wonder how much does a starter pack costs and if it’s just another mlm with extra steps.

I haven't owned a TV in years, I vastly prefer snuggling up in bed with my kitty and watching things on my phone

4 minutes in ... of fucking course her bf/husband is black. Usually /pol/ is batshit insane but damn if they're not right about this one. Modern media and big tech are really pushing this mixed-race couple shit hard. My favorite is still searching Google Images for "white couple" and marveling at all the black men that appear (never black women -- it's always white woman w/black guy).

Ever since Craig's List started charging people have been using FB Market more. Boomers trust it because they're afraid of being murdered on CL.

lol Craigslist charges to post ads now? No wonder it was a fucking ghost town when I checked last weekend for used video games on a whim.

As far as I can tell, it kind of is. If you watch a bunch of these (not just the lip gloss ones, but the other "small businesses" as well) you start seeing the same products over and over again.

Specifically they charge for car adds, I don't know if they charge for other things as well. Truthfully I fully support the decision, it's made that part of the site significantly better.
