  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

"Okay, but I'm saying engaging in this infernal transaction will enact a final, significant toll!"

"Is that the tariffs? Yeah, I heard those were starting."

"you didn't understand, once you have it, you might regret ever buying it"

"Yes, I know about buyers remorse. Look, so you want to sell it or not?"

Spooky AI Company: "Enter your heart's desire, but know that somewhere we will be harvesting priceless natural resources to fuel your hedonistic desires."

Regular Business Owner: "Yeah, okay, give me 1M phone calls a minute to every elderly person in the country, telling them that Medicaid is going bankrupt and they need to sign up for my scamming private coverage policy. Then mint me 40B units of a fake currency called KanyeNaziPopeCoin and book me on Joe Rogan to answer fake call ins from people saying they're dumping their life savings into it."

Spooky AI Company: "Oh geez. That's going to cost a fortune. We're going to lose $5B/yr just staying operational."

Regular Business Guy: "No sweet. We'll bankrupt Social Security to bail you out."

Spooky AI Company: "This feels unethical..."

Heads up sweet = taste, sweat = perspiration.

I used to type "sweat" thinking it was "sweet" until I was almost in my 30s. Then a coworker pointed it out when I said something like "Sweat, sounds good."

Why am I reminded of the Simpsons episode where Homer is buying a doll from a creepy store.

โ€œIt contains potassium benzoate.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€

โ€œThatโ€™s bad.โ€

โ€œCan I go now?โ€

"Marge! Marge, look! The doll's trying to kill me, and the toaster's been laughing at me." One of my favorite scenes to this day.

[โ€“] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Because this post, that Simpson episode, and the other personโ€™s comment about Rick & Morty are all based on the Stephen King story โ€œNeedful Things.โ€

Reminded me of Rick arguing with the Devil in his cursed pawn shop.

"Do I need to call the police?"

"Here, you can use my phone. Don't worry, it won't make you deaf because I'm not a hack."

Spooky Shopkeeper: I warn you, once you purchase this, there is no return....

Me: Too easy.

Spooky Shopkeeper: Very well. This is my last warning. If you purchase this, you will emerge into a hellish landscape of screaming soulless beings tearing their broken world apart, driven by shadowy eldritch forces... wait a minute... I get it now... I AM IN HELL!!!

Me: Please let me stay here. Don't ever make me leave this store.
