Don't look up a Milkshake Bar then, because that looks like something taken straight from one of them.
Milkshake Bars are trendy ice cream shops decorated like a hipster bar where the food is designed more for looking cool on Instagram than for actually being eaten. Their shakes are normal shakes, but served in a decorated cup with oversized toppings (i.e. full size cookies/brownies instead of crumbled up pieces like a traditional shake).
Some examples:

Note the full size donut, cheesecake slice, and cookie on top of the shakes.

Funny you mention Instagram. I can't remember a specific example, but I have seen food there that looked similar - it's just meant to look cool in a basic thot's insta story. These shakes right there make me feel fat just from looking at them.

LEGO is merely an extention of your creativity. If you're a souless bugman like that guy, all you know is how to assemble the pre-designed sets modeled after your favorite franchises.
There's a good number of well-adjusted LEGO fans however, that either build their own creations or go deep into the autism spectrum (the good kind) and build complex mechanical contraptions.

Yeah; and although these hardcore lego fans are very weird; theyre ultimately harmless.
 
Found a new breed of consoomer that's a variant of artists. The Art Supply Collector, where they hoard art supplies but never use them outside of swatches

I inherited a bunch of art supplies a few years ago, actually.

Most of them were dried out and had to be tossed. I ended up with some nice brushes and a drawing desk, but not much else. It was a shame, some of it was brand new but had long since gone bad.

Honestly, I don't understand why these people don't at least donate or up cycle the things they'll never use again. There's the types where they hoard only specific type of medium but then only use the same 3 palettes.

Example here;

Diversity markers. Just what every kid wants.

And the woman speaking having nothing to do with the video. Is this ai generated?

Maybe I’m really late, but I have noticed that TikTok implemented a new feature where A.I. generated voices can do voice overs when posts are being seen with hashtags.

These are just some in particular:




Honestly, I’m surprised they’re trying to outdo Alexa and Siri all together.
 
What's with the racist push? It's text to speech, not someone's great grandma who grew up in the south. "She said Nigger with a hard r." You fucking put it in, retard.

All AI eventually becomes racist, luckily for them this isn't even AI.

Imagine you’re on “it’s a small world” ride and you see this woman child giving birth in the water lol. Christ, why? Why give birth at Disney? Birthing is some risky shit and giving birth at a place where it’s hard to go to a hospital in less than 30 mins could kill you/your baby.

I shutter to think of the microorganisms that a.) live in the water circulating in any Disney ride and b.) those that a water birth would inevitably introduce. We’re talking Central Florida here, it’s hot as fuck and unless the water is treated to all hell then the shits going to fester. They’ve already had to shutter River County because of the brain eating amoebas.

Minor autism, but since we're on the topic of Star Wars, I think Boba Fett might be the prime example of a consoom character. Before his own show and appearance in Mandalorian, the character has about 5 minutes of screen time over 3 movies. He doesn't even do anything except stand next to Darth Vader and die. Why is such a unimportant character so popular? His figures and toys are some of the best selling of any character in the whole franchise. Is it just because he has a cool design and his FunkoPop will look good on your reddit shelf?

Matt gets about 1 minute of screentime in Death Note but is one of the most popular characters. The anime's English dub was broadcast when emo and scene was trendy.

Most of his screentime is spent smoking, playing video games, typing, and dying. Not sure if he has much merch.

I knew someone who majored in "Industrial Design" aka designing shitty packages. They are all consoomers and live to be able to construct branded cardboard garbage.

Industrial designers had a huge hand in creating almost every object that surrounds you including the phone, monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. that made it possible for you to write this post lmao. It's not a bullshit field whatsoever.

Nobody who actually knows what they're doing buys these sets because you eventually realize you use certain colors a lot and barely touch others, so you typically end up buying individual pastels, paint tubes, etc based on your actual needs as an artist. And sets are often filled with cheaper crappier versions of a brand's line, like they might include hues (imitations of expensive pigments made by blending cheaper ones together, which usually don't mix very well) instead of the real thing to cut costs.
