Now now, you shouldn't put yourself down like that. I'm sure you're not dumb.

You almost sound like PunnyName is the last remaining adult in the world

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are. We're all dead.

This is the shittiest afterlife.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What a time to be ~~alive~~ dead!

Wait. Am I not? Is this a simulation or not‽

Oh no! A potential monotonous job that lets me live a life of luxury 10,000x better than any of those animals if I wanted! Better equate it to a death trap... Not the reality of simply existing in the first place lol.

existence is fine, the problem is capitalism lol

[–] Morefan@retrolemmy.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Capitalism isn't perfect, but no other system has provided so much for so many. Fact.

Tell that to the mouse and bear.

"Kids are dumb" is your conclusion? Eff off. Adults fall for the same tricks kids do. Else things would cost $7.00 instead of $6.99.

In my highschool psych class we actually went to an elementary school and did this experiment with the kiddos. It was a while ago but if I recall correctly, 9/10 times they thought tall = bigger. I bet some people never grow out of that mindset or at least at first glance our less smart brain goes “tall is big!”

I guarantee these big corporations have psych majors working in their marketing teams and it's 100% intentional.

Oh for sure, it’s definitely a whole wing of the organization. People are the ones who spend money, so if you want more money, study and exploit the people who spend it.

This exact image is what I had in mind when I saw this post. Lol
