Guys, its a joke, a meme. Some guy makes these fake notices like the woman who sweats on your couch, maggots appear and you are supposed to eat them to heal yourself.

amazon spent a lot of money on trying to do this and then found out the technology doesn't exist and outsourced it to india

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

But that’s not a bowl. It’s more like a box. No, it’s ok. I’ll get on the call at 10pm.

If lemmites didn't have the social skills of a mosquito at a funeral they might be able to pick up on the INCREDIBLY subtle joke here.

Man, everybody is so upset at this, it makes it even funnier.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago

Wow, I absolutely detest people like this. How sad and pathetic does your life have to be to be doing something like this. Why can't people just be normal???! Imagine if everyone went around spreading misinformation like that guy. Plums are not berries, people! Don't let big berry claim this juicy deliciousness as their own!!!

[–] Shieldtoad@sh.itjust.works 85 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Strawberries aren't berries either.

[–] Furball@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 months ago (5 children)

At what point do we say that science is wrong about berries

You can’t look at me with a straight face and say a banana is a berry.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

Look at the whole fruit bundle before they break it apart for shipping. You can't tell me it's NOT a berry.

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 3 months ago

Just gotta accept that we have Berry[culinary] and Berry[botanical] and these variants are unstated and must be inferred from context.

27 plums a month will not have a noticeable effect on your bowel movements.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

Imagine thinking plumbs are berries...

[–] halvar@lemm.ee 104 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is basically the algorithms of the big tech companies but with extra steps. I guess it greatly illustrates how absurd they actually are and how weird it is to just shrug them off.

The best part? Nobody can agree if advertising ala commercials actually works.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"Nobody can agree"?

Is this kind of like how nobody can agree on whether we landed on the moon or whether climate change is real?

[–] Leg@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

My thoughts too. It definitely works. That's why I despise advertising and block all attempts at it. Don't tell me what to think, assholes.

Anecdotal, but I've boycotted products or stores because of annoying ads in the past. And even clever or entertaining ads eventually get annoying if they are shown too much.

I block most ads these days, so longer contribute to the negative ad returns like I used to, but I am curious about how many others like me are out there.

[–] WammKD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My spouse is like that; they're so anti-advertising that they'll close their mobile games once the ad. appears and re-open the game, just to not watch it.

And they're definitely the type to stop buying from a company because the ad.s were annoying.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Anyone from Canada in the late 90s/early 00s might remember that Canadian Tire guy. His character was kinda a personified commercial, he was just so enthusiastic about the Canadian Tire product that could help this common problem that it was off putting. Even though those windshield wipers that were one curved piece that would conform to the shape of your windshield looked like exactly what I wanted, I didn't step foot in a Canadian Tire until years after they got rid of him.

Same landlord: follow me on my socials to know more about how your average poop size and weight compares to your neighbours.

[–] flerp@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I could DESTROY that competition.

Too bad he ain’t on Lemmy. But thanks for the source.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Indeed, just edited in a warning :)

Someone who has an IG account, consider commenting to encourage fediversing up!

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

Fuck yeah, come join us! Meta sucks!

Fake - if this was real there would be a category 'most times pooped in the box'.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I bet Omar isn't even trying. He could easily eat another 27 plums no problem.

Meh. It's a bit less creepy than any website that tracks you, but in this case you get to see the results. Plus: free berries are nice.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Fuckin freak behavior, what a fuckin creep

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That last sentence would freak me out. It takes it from maybe thats just a weird and eccentric landlord to CREEP ALARM!!!

But this is fake, right?

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 11 points 3 months ago

Yea, according to another comment here, it’s a joke.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago

Weak strawberry game

[–] Skull@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

Omar has the right idea taking the plums.

[–] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

This landlord is ready for harvest…

[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Ya, not a little creepy or weird. Sure thing

[–] avieshek@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Not sure if I should be concerned or impressed.
