Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

Leather goods

Make sure that leather isn't bonded leather. If something says it has genuine leather, it's the lowest quality leather they can sell.

How the fuck is Jim Bakker even still around after all the bullshit he did?

The greatest benefit to scamming the elderly is that they rarely live long enough to hold an effective grudge. Assuming they remember you at all of course.

I can't find the article again, but during his recent incident with selling snake oil to destroy Covid, his congregation just wanted him to get back to his important work. They literally just do not care.

That's actually a really good example of the difference I was trying to describe earlier. I'm not trying to shit on people who eat a certain diet, I'm shitting on hyper-processed, hyper-consumerist food "products".
A McDonalds veggie patty isn't great for you, and it's still pretty processed, but it's still a patty-made-of-vegetables. Beyond and Impossible aren't that. They're meat "replacements" made of waste products from the manufacture of other items that has been recombined into a meat-simulacra.

Why are there so many vegan junk food products? I know obviously they can't use animal products but the fact these companies sell vegan alternatives to whip cream, ice cream, cookies, etc makes it sound more nasty than it already is. Also doesn't help that all these vegan videos feature at least 2 of these products in them.

This Super Mario movie is going to be so bad for Nintendo consoomers.

There are very few vegan companies which are well established, and creating a new brand is very cheap so long as you have a frankenfood strain and some seed capital, so there are a lot of people hoping that they can be the ones to dominate a food category (like Just Egg did with egg substitutes).

 

[Hinttitroniikka]

Why are there so many vegan junk food products?

People like the taste and convenience of junk food, whether or not they're vegan. Why is so much junk food produced in general? On top of that, until recently, a lot of junk food had animal byproducts, so vegans weren't buying them. Now (supposedly) the number of vegans in the west is rising, so companies logically want their money, too. These factors are why the vegan label itself is even of interest to the consoomer thread. Just saying "not a sponsor" doesn't make the video not an ad, just a sneaky one.

Things like Just Egg are probably a mere fad. Any serious vegan (that is, someone who doesn't have new things to unbox on tiktok) has other workarounds or recipes that wouldn't use eggs in the first place. And it's hard to start, say, a new spinach farm that makes tons of money just selling spinach; you gotta make some product with it. Same goes for the videos about them - pure cookery videos using whole foods don't get the engagement (including ragebait) that ZOMG VEGAN CHEETOS gets.

Almond milk has been found under that name in some medieval texts, things similar to tofu and oat milk have been produced in Nordic regions for at least a couple hundred years. And nowadays, grapes, which have been around for ages, can be sold under the Star Wars brand. There's just no better term for the marketing hellscape than "clown world" and yet some people literally eat it right up.

I have one of these in my kitchen cupboard:

For those of you unfamiliar with this device, it is a Depression era glass lemon squeezer. Yes, I do use it. Not regularly because I'm a lazy cook, but on occasion I'll pull it out and put it to use. I've had a number of people comment on it and ask me why I don't buy a modern version. This is because most affordably priced lemon squeezers are made of plastic, which degrades and eventually breaks. There are metal versions around, but they're expensive and go rusty if you don't maintain them properly. The hundred year old glass squeezer is surprisingly sturdy and survives bumps, jolts and taps, and yet squeezes on. You could leave it outside for twenty years and it'd still be perfectly fine for use after a good clean and sterilisation. There is absolutely no reason why it won't be still around and perfectly fine for use after another hundred years.

Old tools- be they shed tools or kitchen tools- are worth examining and seeing if they can still be used. Without electricity cords or plastic, they are usually sturdier, amenable to repair and, if your house is damaged and the power grid offline for an extended length of time due to natural disaster, a lifesaver.

Excellent advice. I view kitchen utensils the same way I do hand tools. If it's something I'm going to use regularly, then it's worth investing in something super high quality that will last the rest of my life. And try to avoid anything electronic if possible. I can't count how many crappy plastic coffee makers I've used and broken over the years before finally investing in a stainless steel stove-top percolator that makes a better tasting cup of coffee than all of them (yes, I considered a French press but even the high end ones these days have plastic or aluminum parts that I want to avoid).

Unbelievable.
By my count there's at least 301 cans on that wall. At least they're not scattered around his house, but
Assuming the average sugar contained in each can is 40 grams...

This man is proudly displaying his consumption of 12 kilograms of sugar, or 26 of these one pound sugar bags. When this person inevitably realizes how disgusting their addiction is, I suggest they decorate their wall with 26 of these empty bags as encouragement to stay disciplined.

Just realized the retardded alien included a second image. Is it more cans? Also realized the bag is ten pounds. Imagine its one.

Make sure that leather isn't bonded leather. If something says it has genuine leather, it's the lowest quality leather they can sell.

Speaking as someone who uses leather in his protective welding gear, there definitely is a quality difference between items. Leather gloves for working with tools and hot metal last months. A leather jacket lasts years, protecting against hot sparks and flying metal. There very much are different grades

Marketing is based on algorithms now except most of the data collected is fake garbage that no one can tell apart anymore because the web is botted and astroturfed as hell, is like someone shitting and feeding itself on its own feces. Clown world is just the beginning.

Psh this guy is an amateur. I bet he can't even manage to cover his entire house in cans before he dies from heart failure, unlike the Chad army vet in Florida who went whole hog.

The fact its almost all the same pattern makes it look kinda neat. Like redneck wallpaper.

The beer can house definitely has an artistic value to it, it was done with deliberate purpose and care and it shows.

I remember this being a thing when I was in high school and I still don't get it, what is the point in keeping cheap cans that cost maybe 10 cents to make?
