    “No E-numbers”. They are correct. I looked through the food inside and there was not a single number anywhere.

    Not really a blatant lie but more pandering to the scary unknowns of a standardisation of specifying the ingredients.

    I signed up for the “ad free experience” on Amazon.

    Picked a movie, popup says “this feature is not available ad free”. Cancelled

    How is this legal? Oh yeah, Bezos was on the stage clapping with the other robber barons.

      Amazon was just successfully sued because of the ads in Germany. It wasn’t legal in the first place to enable ads on the lowest tier.

      I gave up sailing the high seas during the golden age of streaming. Unfortunately it has already come to an end with the majority of streaming services including ads for their highest tier.

      I have wasted so much of my life on watching commercials, I refuse to waste anymore.

        This, 100% this.

        Every streaming I have I pay the few extra bucks for ad free. Keep that fucking garbage out of my house.

    I saw a TikTok of a guy saying that eggs have a code on the carton stating what farm they were from. The guy went to a grocery store and nearly every carton had the same code, regardless of advertising free-range, or no hormones.

    Note: I did not verify if this was true but it wouldn’t surprise me.

        This is why I tell you I didn’t verify. I don’t want you to take it for fact and to check yourself if you’re interested.

        I didn’t live in the same area as the man in the video so it didn’t affect me as the laws aren’t the same where I live.

          Sorry, I don’t mean that as an attack on you. Just that if you extrapolate the behavior, that’s what a ton of people are doing but seemingly no longer care if anything is verified or not.

            No worries, I know exactly what you mean. I feel it too.

            There’s only so many times I can explain to family members that posting the phrase “I do not give Facebook permission to use my images” means nothing.

            Hell, there’s a whole political party of people who believe everything they see on TV.

        I was in a PetsMart and I swear they had regular ass sticks that they found outside with $5 price tags on them. You could literally walk 10 steps out of their front doors and find the same thing for free.

        My fucking big goofy dumball of a dog will continuously get sticks stuck in his mouth from trying to chew of them vertical instead of horizontal and its bad. He’ll walk up all happy and just drip blood on my lap with his mouth stuck open. One time we came inside and didn’t realize until like 30 minutes later that he had a big twig stuck in there, he was happy as can be .

        I love that dog and he loves sticks

          Same. They dislike them at first but they get bored with them quickly. I don’t mind them shredding toys as long as they don’t eat them.

      Indestructible toys are a catch 22, anyways. I found a couple of toys my old bud couldn’t destroy but he got bored of them very quickly. All of the satisfaction comes from the destruction.

      We just started getting him soccer balls from 5 Below. Cheap enough and big enough to last a little longer.

    the most obvious one AI, totally not a even close at all, its just advanced wolfram alpha. or glass saying its “military grade, unbreakable” in this case of screen for phones, and for containers(like coffee), more than not its made with thinnest material to cut corners.

      Honestly I find that most things that say they’re military grade are, it’s just people think that’s a good thing. Instead of essentially meaning “as cheap as possible.”

      This is such bullshit manipulative marketing, similar to when companies will put out an ad saying something like “ONLY $1.99/MONTH” in large, bold letters and then below it have tiny fine print saying “for the first month, then $420.69/month”.

      “Free of dyes. Soft pear scent.”. Boom. Done. Not only is it short, but it’s clear and accurate. Almost nobody cares if it’s “clear” as long as it’s dye-free.

      Flavored dish soap is kinda wild in general. Yes, I want the things I eat and drink off of to all taste vaguely of chemical lemons.

      The default should be plain soaps and plain dish detergent. Some are so potent that the scent sticks to the dishes even after washing, and unfortunately, the food too. Especially that dawn spray soap.

  • “Safe and secure” when it comes to digital transactions. Everything is logged, stored, and saved somewhere where they very often have absolutely fuck all in terms of security and then all that shit is hacked or leaked or otherwise compromised. But its okay, because the government will force them to give you 1 whole year of another bullshit service that does absolutely fucking nothing to protect your data or identity.

        This is not generally true. Organic farmer can use what most would consider synthetic pesticides. These are not technically synthetic because they are derived in a lab from organic material like petroleum.

        If the farm is NOP certified then that’s what it means and products will be labeled “USDA Organic.”

        However the FDA doesn’t regulate the word “organic” so anyone can just slap the word on a product and call it a day.

      Yes! Yes! At most this means a minor modification of what exists.

      If the innovations are truly enough to make it so different, its always marketed as a different product
