If it’s not Shrinkflation, it’s Diluteflation.

I occasionally see posts and news articles about how AriZona Tea Company has “held the line” and kept their giant cans of iced tea priced at 99 cents for so long.

Well, after drinking a few cans of the stuff recently, I’m almost certain they’re watering down their product. The tea is nowhere near as concentrated as it was a few years ago. There’s practically no flavor to it anymore.

I think the biggest limiting factor here is the lack of RAM on that system.

If you run out of items to view on Lemmy, you can always go out and, like, engage with family, or hobbies, or grass-touching…

Thanks, Elon. This is why we can’t have good science.

Lemmy is like every social medium since the dawn of time: a cross-section of humanity… the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Try to find an instance that’s local to your country or region.

Truth.

That site only lists Lemmy instances and communities, with several filtering options. It’s not a search engine for Lemmy content.

I have a box I meant to store my cat’s toys in, but she commandeered it for napping purposes.

Maybe, but Kentuckians have been voting against their own best interests for years.

Age 30?

Pfft. Amateur.

And completely ignored the crowdsourced contributions in favor of the Most. Generic. Logo. Ever.

I mean, if you look at it and squint hard, it kind of looks like a bird in flight with its wings spread? But hardly immediately recognizable, much less iconic.

I recently saw a TV commercial for Little Caesars Pizza, where they’re now offering a limited-edition pineapple-flavored Pepsi as part of a meal deal. That way, you can have your pineapple flavor without necessarily pissing off the “no pineapple on pizza” purists among those you’re sharing the pizza with.

Whether anyone will like pineapple-flavored Pepsi is up for debate.

I remember how, years ago, an AI was asked to write a script for a Batman comic book, given a bunch of real comic issues as its learning input. The resulting script was horribly stilted, and hilarious to read. It was popular enough that an artist turned it into an actual comic book.

Today’s AIs have come a long way.

Edit: just out of curiosity, I asked ChatGPT to “write a Batman comic book script, with The Joker as the villain”. That’s it. No other input.

What came out was far less stilted than the one mentioned above, but bare-bones, extremely generic, and boring. The real Batman writers have little to fear at the moment.
