You’re falling into your doom, and suddenly an advertiser materializes next to you and asks if you’ve already heard of their new internet banking accounts for minors. The situation is so ridiculous that you realize it’s a dream, and you can fly. You start flying, but suddenly you get a popup: “Flying is a premium feature; upgrade now!” You try to get a free trial, but the popup insists that you already used one with this e-mail address, so you try to subscribe to the premium plan. Suddenly your card declines, and you return to falling down, crying as more and more advertisers spawn around you, showing you random things.

With sound, and it’s going to track your eyeballs so that you won’t look away!

I can’t wait to get at least one of those. I will go around and blast Pitbull at full volume when a stranger starts staring at me.

I’m “it’s all metal” but in all genres. I just enjoy listening to whatever track that sparks joy (you definitely wouldn’t like me DJing on your party, lol)

It’s Bojack

He’s having a stronk, call a bondulance

For real, I once had a Xiaomi phone and for a long time it was giving me jumpscares with ads. I thought my phone has malware, and I went through every single antivirus I found in the Play Store until one day I googled it and found out that their phones are just brimming with ads by design. Delightful.

My first YouTube account was named xXEmoXOstrichXx, I think I understand… 😆

I also don’t live in the US, and the people who cause such drama usually don’t even seem to need it. They just say that it’s “their money, and they have to get it”.

Yeah, I agree. These people’s entire business model is frying your brain for profit, and then people wonder why everyone is so oversaturated lately. I always wished we could just officially round prices up instead of doing the *.99$ bullshit because no matter where I go, store workers are almost always low on 1 cent coins, and then they have to either hope that the customer has spare cents on them to balance it out or that the customer will just skip getting the 1c change. I worked in a shop for several months once and this was one of the most stressful things at handling money, because not every customer would be fine with it. Some of them would be so petty that they would stand in the middle and scream because “they want their money”, and I would physically have nothing to give them because every single transaction made would just dry out all my small coins. When I was a teenager, my parents had their own shop and I was usually collecting all the stray small coins and give them to my mom to make her work easier. I feel like this “trick” makes everything more complicated for everyone.

I usually round up prices like 4,99 to 5 in my head, but I met many people IRL who would only remember the base of the price with no cents if it wasn’t rounded up for them. They would remember 4,99 as 4, and then be confused why they only got 1 cent of change. I guess this is the kind of people who is the target audience of this practice. It seems cheaper to them than it really is because they are cent blind 😆

This looks like my old folder with art WIPs that I decided to delete altogether because I was never going to finish them.

Damn, I wish I knew how to play a trombone :(

I thought it was about the cat figuring out the optimal way of pushing objects off the counter 😂

I thought eating healthier specimens’ poop was what rodents did. The last time I checked, humans weren’t classified as rodents 😂
