Those labels, they really work.

So would images of dog extrement.

Turns out, slapping /b/-grade traumatic imagery onto consumer goods has an impact on the human brain. Whoda thunkit?

RIP bash.org.

Do people want me to post 4chan gore here? Maybe some goatse and blue waffle and tubgirl? No? Then maybe you understand.

Forcing people to see that shit if they even stand near a legal-but-icky product is not worth these excuses. Tax it more to reduce consumption. Don’t deliberately traumatize people, for any reason.

Because it’s traumatic imagery being shoved in people’s faces. I don’t give a shit whether it works.

I already don’t smoke and never will - but I have to be exposed to that shit, just looking at the wrong part of a shelf. You could probably put pictures of exploded rat carcasses and starving children on there, apropos of nothing, and yeah no kidding it’ll impact sales!

No practical goal justifies putting this Rotten.com gore and shock content on commodity consumer goods. You wanna reduce sales? Tax it more. Don’t commit psychological warfare against anyone who glances upward at a gas station.

If you mean more traumatic images in people’s faces, fuck off.

mtsw on Bluesky:

Since JD Vance just converted to Catholicism 5 minutes ago, he might not know this: the Pope authoring a letter where he goes out of his way to correct you, specifically, is considered “bad” in the Catholic tradition

We get:

• Nothing

You get:

• Less than nothing

What a fucking great deal!
