For real though, anyone know how that came to be?

Branching- Pepsi made phones, Nintendo had love hotels and taxi services, Chinese companies make many stuff etc

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nintendo? Love Hotels? I think I missed a few chapters here.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s been a bit so I may botch some of the details, but back when they were just a playing card company, the youngish CEO went to the US and toured the offices of whoever the biggest playing card manufacturer was at that time. He noticed their offices weren’t that impressive and thought, “If we remain as a playing card company, this is our ceiling.” So he started branching out into a ton of weird unrelated businesses and video games happened to stick.

So basically thank Hoyle or whoever for having a shitty headquarters or we wouldn’t have Tears of the Kingdom.

You know the sexy gamer girl cosplay thing that's going on now? That was Nintendo's idea.

Huge companies used to make a lot of stuff back in the golden age of capitalism. General electric was a big chemicals and plastics company for instance. It was just normal.

Nowadays, those mega-corporations make more money acting as a bank than they do selling stuff. They've just kept some product lines rolling because they're profitable and safe.

You couldn't just start a motorcycle company and be competitive against Yamaha. The specific expertise they have took decades to build, so why waste it by closing down those weird branches when they're still making money.

Samsung is pretty cool like that. Need a TV? Samsung does it. Need a washer dryer set? Samsung. Need artillery? Believe it or not straight to Samsung.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

pharmaceutical products? samsung again (though as CMOs not as name brands as far as I know)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I learned this fact from Vocaloid (yep the one with Hatsune Miku), which is also developed by Yamaha. They had a mechanical parts department during WW2, and it survived by switching to making motorcycles after the war.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

They also apparently make a digital saxophone and compound bow (as in archery) grips.

Ich: I want some freshly ground coffee. Hey, Tchibo, do you offer this?

Tchibo: Of course! That's my primary business.

Ich: By the way, Tchibo, do you know someone who sells raincoats and underwear, but basically no other clothes?

Tchibo: Funny that you ask...

Yamaha makes audio products: Pianos, Speaker systems, motorcycles...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's always been funny to me is that Yamaha also seems to have the cheapest and some of the most expensive stuff too. Look at (piano) keyboards for example.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

They play all sides so they always come out on top

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Ich: I want to get into cooking. What is some very basic recipe book for beginners?

Dr. Oetker: What about mine: Dr. Oetkers Schulkochbuch?

Ich: But I'm actually too lazy to cook. I just gonna buy some frozen pizza.

Dr. Oetker: Here you go.
