I’m not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it’s probably more than the number of persons I can fit.
Just today I was trying to look for something at homedepot and not only were the filters exactly like that, but they were also additive. So if I selected both “1 chicken” and “1 chickens” to cover both spellings, it would say 0 results because no product matches both at the same time.
That’s multiplicative, no? Conjunctive rather than disjunctive.
It sounds like it’s set up as an AND search, rather than the OR that any normal person would expect here.
Yeah, that’s what I mean with conjunctive instead of disjunctive.
This shit infuriates me. It is trivial to add an option for “and/or” when you have multiple checkboxes.
You don’t even really need an option for fields that are single value and compared by equality. Two distinct values for that only ever make sense as an OR filter.
I haven’t had this problem that I can recall with online shopping, but I have definitely encountered it when searching Jira tickets.
Actually, some of my most successful online shopping (or at least filtering) has been at Home Depot. They indicate where items are in their store very specifically (and usually accurately) and most of them even have Google Maps of the inside of their store. Because I can precisely locate something before I go there, I know exactly where to go when I do and can be in and out very quickly. It’s wonderful.
The screenshot is from Walmart. Their accuracy is much more questionable. I didn’t see a single chicken last time I visited. Joking aside, the website has indicated that an item was in stock in an aisle that didn’t even exist (I think it was looking at another store despite me confirming multiple times which one I had set).
In Jira that counts as a feature because Jira is explicitly designed to be as painful as possible to work with.
Sad but true.
Don’t look in the filters for pots.
I would filter by 1 chicken just to see what comes up
Probably 1 chicken
Weirdly, it was just a hard drive. I took this screenshot 1-2 months ago and the filter options aren’t quite the same today, but “1 chickens” still shows up as option. If I select it, I get: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Universal-500G-USB3-0-External-Hard-Disc-HDD-State-Drive-Notebook-Desktop-for-Flash-Deals-Women-Men-New-Blue/9815853058
What the cluck
1 chickens
Automation has truly ruined online shopping. These days you can order from a respectable brandname on a big company website and find out later the seller is actually nanchangshishengyuedianzishangwuyouxiangongsi and they sent you a completely different product than advertised.
I remember back in 2013 I built a PC for my wife, and in 2014 one for myself. At that point, buying something online still felt a bit odd. It was reserved for specialty items, shipping would often take at least 2 weeks, or even 6 weeks depending on where it was coming from. I was no stranger to purchasing online, but brick-and-mortar stores with real stock still existed and could get me what I purchased much more quickly.
I remember being so impressed with Newegg’s website. It made it so easy to build a computer and make sure everything was compatible. It was really easy to compare different options. The filter system was intuitive and comprehensive. I remember thinking “wow this is a perfect shopping experience. The future has arrived”.
I went to build my next PC in 2019, and dear Satan was it so much worse. I had heard about Newegg getting bought out by a larger company in 2016, and it showed. They opened it up to 3rd party sellers. The filters got clogged with garbage and don’t seem to work properly anymore. The sort function became a joke. The UI got rearranged to be less intuitive. I think they purposefylly wanted to make a worse shopping experience to make people frustrated, to get them to give up on looking for deals and pay a bit extra just to be done with it. I ended up having to go to a 3rd party website (PCPartPicker) to figure out what I needed and where to get it. And some of those parts I had to order on eBay (some even from Newegg’s eBay account which is just… Why are we doing this?), some on Amazon or Best Buy. And it’s only gotten worse since.
This same experience has happened everywhere. Just this morning my wife was checking out Culture Hustle to see if they have any interesting new paints and commented on how much worse the website was now than when we last used it a few years ago.
This may make me sound like an old curmudgeon yelling at clouds, but I think the Internet peaked a while ago. There are arguments over exactly when, but sometime between 2008-2016. I remember in 2012 in talking to my fellow students about how Google search results were getting worse.
My wife ordered a bunch of clothes off Amazon for the kids, they came out of the package still in their vacuum packed Chinese shipping bag.
The only saving grace is If they don’t fit they’re easily returnable. We probably could have ordered them from Alibaba for pennies on the dollar, But waited 6 weeks and assumed all the risk of a nearly impossible return.
Yeah, I remember a long time ago thinking Linkedin was useful and had some good articles. Now its gross.
It’s weird how Amazon kind of pushed every online store into becoming eBay (without the bidding… Do people still use eBay for auctions?)
The bidding is actually the main reason I never once used eBay but do use regular online store like Amazon.
Every electronic I own is basically from an eBay auction. It’s a great place to buy from, their buyer protection is borderline too good… not such a great place to sell on. Although, what are you going to do, go to their other big competitors?..
So you use the actual auctions, and not just “buy it now”?
I remember back in the day when all they had were auctions, it was novel and cool. Then they added “buy it now” and the site slowly turned into Amazon.
95% of the time I do the auctions. Only do buyitnow if no other options, which isn’t super common. I have got Ipads for 30-50 that still have a good battery even after using them for a couple years. A $50 laptop that does anything you would normally want a laptop to do. 8 kindles for $45 of which I sold 4 of them to my aunt for $45 to sell at a flea market and I kept and gave away the other four. 3 gallons of Legos for like $10… the list just keeps going.
Yo, give me the hard drive that fits another bard drive. I’ll load a hard drive onto the hard drive in my hard drive so I can load a hard drive on it.
Jo dawg
I heard you like hard drives …
640 kilochickens ought to be enough for anybody.
Only if you eat fewer than 20 chickens per day.
I would hope no individual eats 20 chickens a day. Like damn that’s a lot of chicken.
I wouldn’t put it beyond some people to only use a single part (say only the wings) and throw away the rest.
Try a different store, they probably have a 1 PetaPerson drive.
A PetaPerson would hold 0 chickens.
Chickens are a bad file system to use anyway, they can get plucked too easily and fail.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see chickenfs next time I format a drive. It would probably pair well with butterfs.
I don’t know why but chickenfs sounds like a new trend on pornhub.
You must be thinking of step-chickenfs.
“Can you help me with my homework…”
I hear butterfs even runs on a potato.
Chickens don’t run on potatoes though, so I’d avoid that if you’re wanting to run chickens and butterfs on the same system.
1 chickens, please!
Do you have enough hard drive for it?
Sadly, yes.
How much was the nothing drive?
Gluten free, TB free
You know, I didn’t check. Maybe I should pick up a Nothing phone and try again.
I’ll take 2 1 chickens plz.
what a gift from the universe.
(mostly commenting so that I find this again in the future :-)
sing it to your family. it’s lovely
One chicken is equal to 1,024 Bacockobytes of data (more commonly known as simply a ‘bacock’)
Mine say 256 ertuherrrrs. Wut dat?
Sounds like you need to reformat and install KFC Linux - Kernel Saunders Edition.

Wow, thanks for this
Much appreciated! I ended up ordering from Newegg, which had much more sensible filters. I had originally purchased what I wanted from Amazon, but the first one I got, ordered refurbished, had clearly been shucked and replaced with a 160GB drive from (IIRC) 2008 and the second one, ordered new, started audibly clicking one day into use.
For some reason (described by Amazon customer support as a “server glitch”) Amazon had a really tough time with the return of both of them. This drive is meant to back up a RAID attached to my file server, so I didn’t want to continue tempting fate by continuing to leave the server un-backed-up, which is why I was trying to find a place I could pick up one approximately the same day. I wasn’t able to find such a place, so I went with Newegg because it seemed like a bad idea to keep trying Amazon.
