I miss Nihilist Arby's.

"You’re older than you’ve ever been, younger than you’ll ever be again, and you’re also a pointless biological accident in an entropic void and your sentience literally has zero significance

Eat Arby’s"

Was this an actual real post or satire?

I genuinely have no clue.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Welcome to the 2024. This year's presidential election will have exclusive live coverage on election night, from your official election coverage team....The Onion. No word on if they'll still deal in satire on the night, but it is confirmed that it will be absurd.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I would absolutely love for this to happen

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think it's just an advertisement for Snickers. Gross.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The sign of a successful ad campaign is when the campaign itself gets satirized to continue to build on brand awareness.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

But that only works if the satirization is still somehow stylistically distinct to be recognizable as a satirization of your brand.

You could put Wendy's, Walmart, Northrup Grumman, Tyson, Bank of America, whatever, into this, and just change the last line a little bit, and I still would not be able to determine if its satire or not.

Twofold reasons:

1 Corporate Advertisement in general is almost completely stylistically played out. Almost everyone has tried almost every approach. It's all just blended together, at least for me, into 'insert nearly any kind of rhetoric or style or music or imagery here' followed by: So buy the thing.

Sure, there are still some general trends for certain marketed product types ... but ...

2 Is anything on Twitter/X genuine? First we had a whole bunch of brand accounts acting like increasingly twitter brained idiots, then we had Musk's disastrous takeover and blue check fiasco with people impersonating corpo accounts running wild, now the bots are even more widespread AND the general corpo trend seems to be 'yes actually just have AI generate/do everything', why wouldn't text only posts currently be able to be handed over to an edgy ChatGPT model?

Like... this image, the account has some kind of silver tick or badge or something.

Is that from older Twitter era meaning its verified?

Was the account hacked?

Was this image photoshopped?

....

Can you even tell the difference between a serious idiot, an unserious troll, or a bot mimicking one of those, without an investigation?

I don't think the marketing people for a billion dollar corporation would be that bold.

Lace it with LSD and it'll fix my outlook on life for about six months until reality wears me down again.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I used to do this and it helped my mental state a lot. LSD refresh every 6-12 months.

But I haven't had a source for LSD in 2 years now 😭

Hmmmmm. I should try drugs.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

DARE to try interesting drugs

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Try a lot of some drugs, a little of others, and none of bath salts.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Drugs.
Start before you stop

I stumbled on this video like a decade ago, no idea how it has such low views. It's a gem.

Older and even more broken than all that.

That's so cynical that I would almost kinda respect it if I didn't hate marketing on principle.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well you can just buy that check mark, and I have trouble believing the advertising people at Snickers are bold enough to actually post this, so it's probably satire

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can also just Photoshop or edit the page source to make it say whatever you want

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

That's cheating, and someone could catch you.

Not me of course; that would require actually checking Xitter

Now you'll have diabetes, if nothing else.

Go boof some kale, or something.

Go eat a tub of butter, or something.

Boy you guys talk so much about student debt that I'm very thankful to not have it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Thank goodness my "third world country" offers free tuition for uni. 🤩

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The US used to, too. But then a retired mediocre actor decided education was a privilege, not a right

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Yep same here.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Lol and you probably don’t even have a nazi clown running for president?

No joke. I just went to a in state university, of which I had a few very good ones to choose from, and the state paid my tuition and I was able to pay rent working part time.

I often forget a lot of people around me are sitting on like $40k of debt because their state didn't do lottery scholarships or they just wanted to go out of state, sometimes just to get "The College Experience".

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Continue to be thankful. I made some boneheaded choices in college which resulted in my throwing away a full ride, and I left school with like 80k in debt. Thankfully, I am much more fiscally responsible than I was academically responsible, and I managed to pay that off over the course of like 7 years (aided in no small part by the forbearance periods Biden forced through during COVID). Which is good, because more boneheaded choices were made which resulted in a significant change to my financial situation. If I were still making payments at this juncture, I would be in a position where I'd be moving back into mom's basement just to make ends meet.

Not that there is anything inherently shameful in that (it's fucking hard out here, and if that's a resource that you have available, it should not be turned away simply because of pride), but it does cause me to wake every morning pleased I didn't listen to any "financial gurus" out there who talk about shit like "good debt".

I worked full time through college. So much that it often interfered with the time that I needed to be spending on study. I still owe $40k.

My ex husband who’s billionaire family paid his tuition while I paid our bills owes nothing of course.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Hey, your ex husband pulled himself up by his bootstraps! That's no way to treat the world's most elite!

Honestly, I always need a Snickers. God damn.

Because when you're down in life, nothing quite helps like getting fat, diabetes and cavities.

Treat yourself to even more problems!

Good old mars wrigley. Always giving lip service to helping the environment.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm 42 and my uni debt was about 15k GBP, down to a couple of grand now as I've just been paying interest until the last 5 years when I landed a good job and started clearing it. Out of interest, what was the amount you owed in your country when you finished, and what do you owe now at your current age?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

USA

Owed $52,000 upon graduating with a bachelor's degree.

It's been ~~16~~ 12 years and I still owe $40,000.

I regret going to college every day of my life.

I went on chatgpt and said "Write an advertisement that plays on the fears of gen z then suggests they eat a snickers". It returned almost the same as above.

I genuinely can't tell if this is fake. I fucking hate this world. Anyone want to team up to build a time machine and travel the future until the perfect utopia is achieved?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (4 children)

We’re probably more likely to see a return to feudalism, with the wealthy getting worshipped as god-kings and regular folks going back to being illiterate peasants working the land for their overlords.
