If there were people dumb enough to buy the Pet Rock back in the day… I’m sure there are dumb enough people who would buy an Apple labeled Rock, Paper, and/or Scissors.

My goodness! Just looking at these images makes me feel a headache coming on.

Lol. I love that this was(/is?) a way to verify if it’s a bot writing.

In a way, it’s a badge of honor to have some of your content be questioned.

Hmmm. I don’t see myself as a misogynist. And don’t quite understand why I would be considered one for posting this content. (Was it because I didn’t find a male equivalent to share as well?)

I found it was ‘punching up’ at those who spend thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars, to fake their reality. That being said, I understand the feeling of insecurity about your looks, as I’m a balding man. I could have spent the money to use Rogaine or a similar product when I started to go bald early on. But after a few years of thinking about it (back then), researching people’s takes for and against it, the cost to maintain it and finally, what kind of person I would consider myself if I did so. I ended up on the long road of accepting who I am. It hasn’t been easy, especially in my 20s, when your appearance means so much more. But in the end, I’m glad I didn’t go down that path. I’ve come around and have accepted that this is me, and I’m fine with the lack of hair. (It sure cuts down on haircut costs haha.)

The bigger problem I have overall and why I ended up posting this image, was that I wanted people to A, have a laugh at the unrealistic and realistic sides of things depicted. B, spend some time thinking about their purchasing habits and more so, of what they purchase. And C, bring into question the ‘fakeness’ that our civilizations have been living in. And no, it’s not just women who are living a ‘fake’ life or more ‘fakeness’ than men are. That’s not my stance on this. My stance is that it’s ridiculous how many “things we need” to live a good life or better. Of course, that opens things up into a philosophical debate of what ‘is needed,’ but I have yet to find another species that needs a variety of tens/hundreds of thousands of things to work out, to live a good life on this planet. (And that’s another thing, we’re not the only species on this planet. So what gives us the right to generate and ‘dispose’ of these toxic products, byproducts, etc.?)

This is just a starting point for discussion.

I’d like to hear from you @[email protected] about the topic at hand. But first, why do you think I’m a misogynist?

Hmmm… oddly, I feel like I’m having a Total Recall.

It sadly does not. IIRC: lemmy.world devs removed this function a few updates ago because it was using up a lot of server CPU. I’d like for them to resolve it in the next update.

It relates to the video that OP shared here. It’s the thumbnail of the video.

I’d like to see more videos posted with their thumbnails on Lemmy. So I periodically comment on videos that don’t have them yet.

Here is the video’s thumbnail.

I use an Extension called vidIQ to find and use the video thumbnail easily. The current thumbnail will be shown just below the video view count.

It seems like with every week that goes by, Frank the Tank is becoming less and less of a seal and more and more a healthy dachshund. =)

To be fair, the meetings had to be short because it was going on TV (back in the 90s). They were required to make each episode 44< >46 minutes long to allow for ad time. (Imagine taking 1 hour and 30 minutes of footage with things you needed for the episode, and editing it down to your allotted time length. Challenging, huh?)

I think I’m too spoiled with my single person bathroom usage toilet to desire willing to go back to this.

For a moment I thought I was on [email protected]

I was being facetious.

Please, regale us with the tale.
