It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Mein Pillow kelly

If this were anyone else I'd say it was a coincidence (knocking something down from $15.99 to $14.88 is probably an honest mistake). But this guy I'm assuming it was deliberate. There's no way it isn't.

[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

the only defense i could come up with for him is that he's too dumb to know what 1488 means

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Oh I was just using it as an example. Sometimes you'll see stores discount things like that where they knock down the price by $1.11 (so $19.99 becomes $18.88 then $17.77 etc.).

Comments are all groypers applauding crackhead CEO with literally only one leftist telling them to follow their leader. Twitter doing great.

You know what, I'm being mean to crackheads, there's crackheads better than this fascist pos. He's just a Christian freak.

Wow Joaquin Phoenix really let himself go for the Her x Joker crossover film.

[–] JerkyChew@lemmy.one 25 points 3 days ago

Jeez, at least RFK's allusion was more subtle... Though I don't think anything Mike Pillow does is subtle.

Can you help me workshop this?

"If a bunch of do nothing bigots want to waste $35 after shipping and handling to buy this washed up loser's $5 Alibaba pillow because of pure aesthetics and ideology then be my guest."

Is it too "market place of ideas-y?" too tolerant of intolerance?

[–] ikilledtheradiostar@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

We should set up a front organization to become the sole pillow stuffing provider to the the Taiwanese firm that produces the pillow. 20 grams of additional stuffing could be provided gratis to each pillow.

Our patented Forever Sleep foam is lightweight, breathable, and definitely not remotely detonable.

Behold the master race

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 day ago

the desperation is stinking up the pillows

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 3 days ago

I wonder how lucrative this grift is. Appealing to CHUDs might make a lot of money in the short term, but they'll abandon you as soon as they find the next "culture war" thing to get really mad about. And by labelling yourself a brand for CHUDs or even outright nazis, I can't imagine you'd be doing so well with other demographics.

[–] Tychoxii@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

I'd buy that for a dollar

[–] ikilledtheradiostar@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah my ex's folks gave her one. Drop an extra 20 bucks and you could get something much much better.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

Never thought I'd actually hear a story of someone actually buying one of those pillows. damn people really do be buying junk
