And now you’re showing it to us instead of chucking it at the nearest physicist.
Do you mean physician like the “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” thing?
Or do you just harbor animosity towards people who study physics?
How else will another physicist discover gravity?
That’s the nifty thing about most discoveries: they only have to happen once 🤷
No, I do my own research, thank you very much
I meant like Alec Newtons.
Abbott elementary is hilarious though

did you know those stickers are edible. eat the ads
Do not let them win. Eat the ad
Poop the ads
Fuck. Now there’s an ad on my Lemmy
yeah blur that fucking shit out before posting. there are kids on here.
I suddenly have an overwhelming subconscious desire to subscribe to Hulu or tune my broadcast television to ABC to watch a TV show called Abbott Elementary 🤔
Huh pink lady’s i thought that they were only grown in western australia.
We def have them in Washington state USA. Also, might I introduce you to Frange’s 100 Point Apple Ranking Scale, a great way to waste some time if you care too much about apples like we Washingtonians do.
we have them in northern california. i ate some last time i was out by Placerville
Not that big into them, I worked in an orchard during my teen years. Best skill i learnt was juggling. But pink ladies then were only grown in the south west. I feel there was a trade agreement that allowed them to be grown elsewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cripps_Pink
Well props to you guys for that apple, it is one of my absolute favorites. Right up there with honeycrisp. I don’t super care about apples in general, but there are so many damn overhyped apples coming out these days (looking at you, Cosmic Crisp) that I started to develop a disdain for apples in general, which made finding the Frange rating scale quite cathartic.
You can find good ones. But it does feel we go for gross weight over quality these days. If you have never tried one nashi pears (south east asian pear or pear apple) are phenominal. Basically what you want a pear and an apple to taste like.
I’ve never seen an apple with a best buy/expiration date on it.
Give it some time and that sticker will be a detachable user manual.
Hopefully Apple doesn’t put Pluribus ads on fruit. That one lady named Carol would lose her poor mind.
Context (the original Reddit post)
Text copy of the post
My schizophrenic sister hospitalised herself because she throught she was having a psychotic episode where someone was attempting to communciate with her through her fridge. Turns out it was an advert on the LED screen.
Need some advice. She’s not really capable of organising most of her own affairs.
She spent 2 days under monitoring. This isn’t the first time she’s been kept in as she has had previous psychotic episodes once every two years or so.
During this time her medications were adjusted.
She also rang me during this time to tell me that “someone was trying to communicate with her through her fridge.” She booked a taxi to A&E and was driven there.
I’ve finally got her back home a few days ago. However, when I was scrolling on Facebook today I saw an advert on a smart fridge which stated the words, “WE’RE SORRY WE UPSET YOU, CAROL.” It was set against a creepy yellow background and was very ominous. Upon closer inspection it was an advert for some TV show.
That’s my sister’s name. Carol. I sent her the photo and asked if this was what she saw. She confirmed it.
Some creepy advert in a place where an advert shouldn’t usually go has sent her to the bloody hospital and triggered a review of the efficiacy of her antipyshotics.
Is this even legal in the UK? Running creepy adverts like that on a smart fridge with absolutely no way of knowing who could’ve seen them?
Sometimes they really are out to get you!
i used to slap my crew’s tags and qrs on random fruits and vegetable in the supermarkets all the time. the trick is to keep it low and have someone to divert attention while you dance around the section trying to appear merely clueless and not mischievous.
I used to put QR code stickers on random things that points to the lemon party website. Which was 3 old guys sucking each other off on the home screen.
now that’s a correct use of QR code stickers!
Advertising is a company laundering technique for wealth transfer, they use speculative projections to sell your eye space alone, give the pass for the image, and profiteer internally instead of contributing to the economy outside of the bubble, it’s been the case on the Internet for years and years
I’m almost positive those apples would be cheaper because they are ad supported. Right?
The revenue was pocketed because the cost of printing a bigger sticker and in color was passed on to you.
“How can we compete with Apple TV’s prestige shows?”
Not much different than the bananas with Disney characters on them. This has been a thing for a long time now. It just happens to be a Hulu ad and not Disney specific.
Literally in the middle of the Beverly hillbillies they would run ads for Winston cigarettes, and it was a LONG ad meant to look like part of the show.
Nothing has changed at all. Tech allowed it to be even more in our face though.
Best to destroy screens at gas stations, and make it a point to not use anything you see advertised in an idiotic way.
There were Star Wars branded oranges in supermarkets back when
the prequelsThe Force Awakens was coming out.Edit: Got my timeline wrong. Still, it’s been a while.
They have Bluey branded apples now.
FYI, when using Markdown formatting here and on Reddit, you have to use two tildes:
~~the prequels~~ becomes
the prequels.Huh, I’m on Mbin and single tildes work just fine. Thanks for the heads up!
Oh, okay. It might be a Mbin-specific thing, then. I know they don’t work on Reddit or Lemmy!
Unfortunately it’s not either/or, it’s both.
