we should put a lot more oxygen in the air so all animals gets really big anf also make shit randomly explode + fires go extremely hot and bright and dangerous Lol. this is my beautiful dream
some years ago i went into an establishment called ‘face values & more’ with my partner at the time. we agreed quickly that the place was a bed bath & beyond which wasn’t one; bed i’ll grant you, and bath perhaps, but certainly not beyond. they had the same products as a bb&b, but slightly worse, and packaged oddly; they had very similar branding to bb&b, to a degree that suggested it was tweaked right up to the very edge of being actionable for copyright infringement. an odd but strangely charming establishment, if a bit like wandering around in a dream, with everything slightly off from reality.
anyway, that’s what tumblr ads are like now. one just appeared on my dash that said “aren’t you tired of generic hypnotists?” on top of an image of several interrogative-looking goldfish. the other day i got one that just said 'YOU need a ROOF.’ a statement, not a question. which, on the one hand, true, a roof is a good thing to have, but on the other hand, i have one – well, i rent one, but still, i mean, i’m under it – and on a third hand what are you SELLING? there was no other information! there was nowhere to click! did you just want me to know i need a roof? who is paying for this?
i know that probably what’s happened here is some variation on the theme of 'AI slop + late stage capitalism = ?🤢?’ , and i’m as fine with that as i ever am, which is to say screamingly and teeth-gnashingly not fine. but, just for the record, no. i am not tired of generic hypnotists. and i don’t expect i ever will be, either
this is my most favorite recent ad
