They would go bad instantly. I would assume these would be only suitable for banana bread. Reminds me of prechopped veggies that are way overpriced.
Both these bananas and the pre-chopped veggies are nice for people with disabilities.
Please stop with justifying things that are terrible for people and the world. If these items are needed for people with disabilities, you don’t take a natural container, remove it and cover it in plastic. The solution would be to create something that is created once and does the job required indefinitely.
Oh that makes more sense. But they should wrap the bananas individually so they don’t brown as quick
Edit: wait, if someone with a disability can’t peel a banana, how will they open this package?

I think you’re coming to a realization.
Are there more people with disabilities, or more stupid people?
You may not think it’s not popular and a waste,but that’s because the people who need and buy these items are generally doing their shopping when you’re at school/work.

I do not. I’m just asking if there are more people with disabilities, or more stupid people?
At least they aren’t packaged each with the plastic wrap.
I do not know if that is better or worse, but that is something definitely.
Definitely worse-- Japan has a huge problem with waste, and a ton of that is because of their culture around packaging things.
I’ve noticed this and I’d like to learn more about it. I’ve always appreciated the careful thought they put into packages or containers… But does it gotta be plastic?! Agh.

Lemmy moment.
He exists because his parents had sex. Having sex is stupid now?
Organized religion. Prosperity gospel. Televangelists. Tucker’s career.

Trump and the American Nazi Party
Specific models of dumpsters found in national parks. Apparently making sure that the smartest bear can’t get into a dumpster while making sure the dumbest person can is a grey zone.
There have been national park visitors who have asked at what time the animals are let out of their cages and put back in them. Then again, that might be an education issue rather than a stupidity problem. Would it be ethical to experiment on these people by suggesting “we’ll tell you if you can get that dumpster open”?
Caveat: Having never seen those dumpsters, I have the nagging feeling that I could well be outsmarted by the bears.
Caveat: Having never seen those dumpsters, I have the nagging feeling that I could well be outsmarted by the bears.
There’s another factor though: The bear will keep trying over and over if it smells something in there, for hours if it feels like it. Tourists, meanwhile, might not even try again if they can’t get it open right away.
That first can very well be a mixup between zoos, those parks where you can drive your car through and look at animals and national parks. I can fully see people getting it mixup a bit. So I would put that under education miss.
And regarding the dumpsters I have been outsmarted by a child proff container so I will show respect to the dumpster.
I remember a lady reviewed a solar eclipse party on Facebook 1star because they held it midweek instead of on the weekend and she couldn’t go
Shops with perpetual “sales” and prices ending with 99.
JC Penney went through a period where they did away with their perpetual “sale” and normalized their pricing. Their sales tanked as a result. Apparently a lot of people who shop there are idiots.
The one time I went while they were just offering low prices was awesome. Just $8/shirt, no coupons or sales to turn a $20 shirt into a ln $8 one. Most people really like seeing a big number then having to pay a smaller one though.
The former SVP of Apple Retail Ron Johnson, specifically. He actually thought the people who shopped at JC Penny were the same as the people who shopped at an Apple Store.
thought it was JC Benjamin
I hate that “marketing” is just a science of bypassing peoples’ rationality to sell them on short-term emotion, then reinforcing and encouraging stupidity to keep the loop going.
Lotteries. If people understood odds they’d never buy a ticket, or at least not in the numbers they do.
Lotteries are a tax on hope, not stupidity.
I’ve always heard they were a way to recoup tax funding from people below the tax-paying bracket, because they’d be the ones desperate enough to go for it.
…which is seemingly more and more at the way we love our income inequality…
You have a better chance of literally being Brad Pitt than you do if winning the lottery.

Lots of subscription based services, like heated seats in cars
Racism Sexism
Smart people can be and often are racist and sexist too. They are better at justifying it too. Scientific racism is an existing pseudoscience.
I hear your point, but they are not that smart if they think skin color determines the value of a human. Same for sex.
This is a good definition of smart. Agreed.
Smart people don’t do that, otherwise they wouldn’t be smart
Fair point. I stand corrected
Homeopathy and alternative medicine.
Chiropractors can be heard chuckling nervously
I’m gonna get downvoted for this but… gaming consoles.
Gaming consoles made sense back in the day before home computing took off, and for a while they actually had superior hardware than computers when it came specifically to running games. But nowadays gaming consoles are just locked down user-hostile computers with a subscription service attached. The gaming equivalent of inkjet printers. It’s an industry made irrelevant by advancements in technology, propped up by misleading marketing and artificial hype that sadly many people fall for.
I have a PS5 because it will play the damned games. There’s nothing in the PC realm for $400 I could buy that could come close to guaranteeing the same thing. Consoles don’t exist because people are stupid, they exist because gaming and GPU companies are cartels just like almost every other sector of the economy.
New PC graphics cards alone cost as much as entire games consoles. The top end ones cost the same as multiple PS5s. That’s why consoles exist.
You’re not wrong. There definitely used to be a difference back when consoles would get way better support and PC ports were terrible.
Sound On / Off
– The entire options menu of a PC port in like 2006.
But nowadays I struggle to understand the point of getting one of those big chonky tower consoles like whatever the latest Xbox or PlayStation is. (PlayStation even selling entirely new consoles for a simple graphics/RAM upgrade, smh).
At least the Switch’s portability made sense.
The old consoles also were just plug the game in and boot up.
No Hassle.
Now they sounds like Windows boxes.
I LOVED how the original X-Box had an “desktop” in it. Unfortunately that’s gone way too far anymore.
Nowadays I find these interfaces so overly complicated and fiddly that it makes the UX of an N64 far superior.
I pretty much went PC-only after the xbox 360 though, when ports finally started getting good. :)
I downvoted you just because you’re one of those people who is literally asking for it.
My god, how can I possibly recover from this!? My lemmy reputation has been tainted forever!!!
Any brand of authoritarianism.
Warning labels that say shit like “Contains: Milk” on a carton of milk.
Egg carton that says “Contains Egss”, like yeah, I sure hope so
I hate to be “that guy” but in theee cases, it just makes more sense to have some extraneous labeling rather than have special clauses in the regulation dictating when it’s obvious enough that the label can be omitted.
Keeping the rules as simple as possible reduces the chances of loopholes and ambiguity, at the expense of sometimes resulting in things like a jar of peanut butter stating “contains peanuts” on the label.
It makes no sense and it’s a side effect of an over litigious society.
It only makes no sense until you stop and consider how to define and implement a better rule, when the only real benefit would be to prevent people snarking about milk having a “contains milk” labeling.
Labeling for ingredients and possible cross contamination concerns doesn’t require that milk warns about milk.
Do you think that someone sits down and makes a list of all items that need to be labeled as containing X, which is then updated each time a new food or recipe hits the store shelves?
Or is it more likely that regulators simply state that all foods for human consumption containing more than some percent by weight of X must be labeled as containing X?
If your goal is to ensure that consumers are alerted to certain ingredients for allergy or other purposes, you care very much about a product not getting labeled properly, and you don’t really care if something obvious gets the label.
I’m not really sure why this is so hard to grasp…
Did you hear about the butter recall for that?
‘Caution: Hot’ on coffee.
C’mon nowadays you can market anything as anything, and you’re never quite sure what’s in there! :p
My high school mandatory epilepsy training for teachers and staff because the art teacher stepped over me while I was seizing on the floor during class. Other students had to carry me to the nurse because I couldn’t walk right after the seizure. Teacher wouldn’t even call the nurse to let her know what was up
