Recyclable, looking at you Coca Cola.

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.

another fun one is pyrex, pyrex lowercase uses a cheaper weaker glass laminated glass, while the og uses borosilicate(if you are buying the large dishes), some of the lunch box types are made with borosilicate. PYREX is no longer sold in the US, but mostly in the EU and maybe canada. however there is other borosilicate containers out there with varying durability.

the "eco-friendly companies" telling you to buy thier products for carbon footprint reduction type of marketing, its largest funded by oil and gas to avoid reducing thier emissions.

nHap toothpaste, questionable effects, as mos the positive effect seemed to be related to the added whitening/abrasive adjacents more than normal toothpaste.

smart= data mining, and easier to become damaged forcing you to buy more because of all the unneccesary components that can break down"

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.

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.

Indestructible or tough dog toys. My boy will have that in pieces, 15 minutes or less guaranteed

[–] Bubs12@lemmy.cafe 4 points 4 hours ago

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.

Get him a stick

When he break it. He now have 2 stick

When he have too many stick.

Go get new stick. It free.

[–] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 4 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] neomachino@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 hours ago

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

A "family size" bag of Doritos is not sized for a family. Or I on my own count as a family.

"Military Grade" is not the flex that civilians think it is.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 11 points 11 hours ago

Tbf, a family-sized (now party-sized) bag of Doritos does contain a day's worth of calories (2250) for a single person. I can't keep them in the house, they call to me.

I miss the old military surplus stores. 2/3 of the stuff was cheap crap, but every now and then you'd find something insane. I had this flat periscope, it was designed to go up through a slot on the roof of a tank. You could easily stand on it, and it wouldn't have broken.

It should be the size of a family.
