What are the Trekbbs ads trying to sell to you?

[HIjol]

Wow!
NOW it is a thing that looks much like a T1 from Terminator.

With a Price Drop!

 

[Oddish]

They're hiring dental hygienists for up to $56 an hour.
And selling BMW's. And after seeing the supercars they were trying to sell me earlier (price was about as much as a small residential block), the $150,000 price tag for some models seems downright reasonable.

 

[HIjol]

Now?
Something called “The Luxe Collection”
Engagement Rings
Nope
Not Even
Maybe be Next Life

Bullshit I'm not interested in, don't want, and will never use.

Wtf is a "social media marketer?" And what on earth would make some bot think I would need it? I make my own memes, thanks.

But…I don’t even need a HALO (the technique, not the game) jump helmet!

…and I’m not really loving that chicken from Popeye’s.

 

[HIjol]

OK, so now I am concerned.
The latest, from the Good People at Temu…

ETA Picture did not load, sorry.
It’s a picture of two arms covered in some kind of silvery material that is supposed to be cut proof…You know it works, because another hand has a knife in it and is making the “cut” motion on one of the silvery forearms.

 

[Michael Two Wolves]

Don't get me started on Temu. Worse than Wish--they're advertising vaguely-suggestive things I can't even identify. lmao

 

[jackoverfull]

Ad for American Express. Does it even exist in Italy?!

A drone. Occasionally I like playing with gimmicky gadgets, but drones have never appealed to me for some reason. Maybe it's because amazing natural areas where I would most want to use one, such as national parks, don't allow them.

"Wat kosten zonnepanels nu?"

Pretty sure that's something for solar panels. Meh. They're not all they're cracked up to be.

...?

My guess would be concern with environmental contamination if the thing got lost, as well as possibly disturbing wildlife including bird species that are legally protected.

Dutch is apparently quite similar to Swedish…

thought it was German. “How much do solar panels cost now”.

 

[Michael Two Wolves]

"Prijs Zonnepanelen Gekelderd!" Ummm...

Ohhhh, wait! I got my VPN turned on. lmao

if you gOOgle it you get a dutch url and zonnepanels would be sonnenpanele in german but mostly we call them solarkollektoren

dutch has a lot more in common with german - swedish comes from altnordisch*, german and dutch from althochdeutsch* - they are both in the same indoeuropean language branch of course

---

*these are the german terms, obviously
