suicide? appreciating the good moments of the day without thinking about the wider hell you're in, somehow?

You short-sighted investors are piling in on guillotines, meanwhile I've been snatching up shares in pitchfork and torch companies with strong fundamentals for pennies on the dollar.

[–] TheDeepState@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’d think that you’d make more on the guillotines. The margins should be higher. No profits on torches.

The profit on torches is the rebuy for more. You don't need to sink a lot in material, it just has to burn bright enough to sell.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Exactly, the guillotine is a durable/capital good. Yeah, you make more on one, but how many are you going to sell relative to torches and pitchforks?

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

My guillotines have DRM, non user serviceable parts and a mandatory service contract - cough - I mean you get free IoT and smartphone integration.

If you sharpen it youself, warranty is void.

I don’t know. I mean you can reuse a torch or you can make your own.

In this throwaway, instant satisfaction society? It's all about the price point. And the marketing.
