I had a good laugh today

I've had to stop myself from looking for him on YouTube precisely because I don't want the algorithm serving me up a bunch of weird shit for the next six months.

Incognito browser is your friend. It’s not just for lewd content and looking up stuff so stupid that you’d feel embarrassed having it in your history.

I didn’t think you could take the current levels of Snake Oil to new levels.

Same

Are we in for a rant thread from the owner when PPCB clones it?

He already showed up.

 

[Aentons]

If that dude has any brain, he'll engage as little as possible from this point forward to limit further SEO boosting of his bullshit. The last thing a logical scammer should want is a brighter spotlight.

He should maintain a low profile and hope that his marks are too stupid to dispute charges with their credit-card companies when they receive something vastly different from the "ad copy".

That said, cornered rats do stupid shit, and whoever's behind this isn't even starting with much sense.

At the rate we are going, he will probably be our next president.

Not screwing with your (unfortunately foisted upon you) algorithm …shudder…

YOUR next president.

For all we clown on the AI used on this pedal, it's still better AI content than what your current president is putting out.

To be honest I think Aryan King would make a better president, not gonna lie. It's hard to get worse. And maybe the base would vote for him just based on the name?

I still see it here https://reverb.com/en-fi/item/97301199-octaking-burstphonic-limited

Looks like there's 4 reviews for the seller who bought the Burstphonic, too.

Yeah, it sat on "ended" when I posted this.

See? Now you don’t have to commission or decommission anything.

Sometimes the Universe just takes care of you.

I'm totally down for that one, but y'all gotta sort out "jumper". "Sweater" just makes a lot more sense.

Really? If you're wearing the right jumper you ain't sweating while you jump. You're just kinda comfy.

I have no idea why we say jumper for a woollen garment for the upper body. But to call it a sweater implies that it's overdoing its intended function. Jumper implies the freedom to, well, jump, with no suggestion of discomfort. Sweating in a woollen garment can be unpleasant IME.

The expression that seems arse-about in the US to me is "I could care less". Here we say I couldn't care less, which actually makes sense. But then it could well be that making sense is over-rated. I think maturity is over-rated.

Americans have jumpsuits, for... Jumping?

...

 

[HamishR]

And the British have shell suits for...shelling?

That's the correct way to say it in the US, too, we just have a lot of folks who mess it up.

I'm American and I hate it when people say "I could care less". Well, there are plenty others I hate equally.

 

[falco_femoralis]

"I could care less" has fewer syllables and rolls off the tongue better. Honestly I don't understand why you expect us to listen to ourselves in the first place

 

[HamishR]

I thought that's why you had guns in the US? "Its NOT COULD CARE LESS!!!"

You know that's not gonna happen. The guy will likely double down and try to assert his claim that he was just an innocent person trying to bring his dream to market, completely disregarding the means he's taken to do so. Sunken cost fallacy is a mf.

 

[Robert]

I don't do enough jumping to justify having a garment dedicated to the act.

... and I damned sure don't want to go around sweating.

 

[falco_femoralis]

One think I like about upside down talk is that everything becomes an abbro

if I don't feel like saying the entirety of a word I can just say the first part and put an o and it's totally fine

That's a totally valid point. The number of syllables is a critically under-studied prerequisite of language. Sometimes using an expression correctly is just so tiring. Although in Italy the more syllables the better. Here in Australia we tend to be quite economical. And then being expected to make sense as well? I envy your freedom.
