I can to a degree understand the funko hoarders, but this. It's just so weird, in a way you feel uncomfy just looking at it...
The local warlord and his boys, once the Redditor has to fork all his hot sauce to them as tribute in exchange for a few scraps of moldy bread, cockroach crisps, and rat meat.
Wait, we're giving them something in exchange for the hotsauce?
I'm just trying to imagine what this looks like where these guys have the same clout and hypebeastiality as the NBA sneaker heads. Bringing their Capsaicin Clan and filling an entire ensuite with hot sauce at the Thunderdome.
Those who hoard fragrances, it’s common in the community for them to wish companies released smaller bottles. Because they argue that they can’t use up bigger bottles. Even though smaller bottles is more expensive per ml than the bigger ones. So for a normal consumer, it’s a straight up scam with smaller bottles.
It's because he likes the look of the full bottle probably. But you can fill the bottle with distilled water or vinegar - something that won't rot after a few years, add food coloring, seal it with a bit of paraffin and have fake hot sauce on the shelf. Or, hell coat the inside with paint.
This level of cringe is physically painful.
I have no idea why people buy modern single comics. Even assuming you like the garbage stories or find the once a year okay run you are just better off waiting for the trade. It'll be cheaper in a price per issue sense, have better binding, no in issue ads, and the single issues are all written for the trade.
You’re misunderstanding the situation here.
Don’t like squishmellows but it reminds me of these flip squids. Also it’s cute.
The people whose entire lives revolve around the lives of fictional characters can't be saved. They've had a privileged enough life that the true realities of war and poverty aren't relatable in the slightest to them (well, some of them say so, but their idea of poverty is they didn't get all the toys they wanted growing up.) so the only way they can understand or relate to anything is their characters.
As someone who had some investment in American comics cover Variants are just for show nowadays. Don't quote me on this since I'm going off memory, back in the 90's a lot of comics and comic variants were valuable which became a big thing for speculators and the big 2 were pushing it as much as they could with shit like holofoiled textured variants for big events or a soft continuation of a series that was brought back to issue #1 so they could sell to the speculators. When the comic book industry finally crashed it crashed hard with most of those comics now becoming worth about as much as a McDonald's value menu item. It also nearly destroyed Marvel and Dc because alot of the old audience was pushed to the side for speculators. I believe SFDebris has a more indepth and accurate deep dive into the 90's comic industry
