Apparently they're so much worse than your regular refillable ones (not that those are too healthy, either).

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 40 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

Microsoft, Google, Meta and Apple products.

Bonus round: Twitter, Amazon, Nestle, KiwiFarms, Substack, American News and we all could stand to cut out some sugar.

I wanted some Ovaltine the other day, then I looked at the back and saw who owned it. Back on the shelf it went.

You can make your own using non-diastatic malt powder, cocoa powder, and sugar.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't do apple, how can I stay away from meta though?

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Don’t use any of their services and delete existing accounts.

Install an ad-blocker (Firefox and uBlock Origin)

Help others to jump ship from these platforms and spread awareness of ad-blocking.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I deactivated FB years ago do I still need to delete?

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I would.

Took down all my stuff. It was years ago. Obviously they have their own copy somewhere in their Ai training database…

But it felt good taking it all down.

Like no. You don’t get to have any of my stuff with my permission anymore. You get to do it the hard way and fight my ad-blocker.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m sure they have multiple copies

Um…I dunno. Screw you, Zuckerberg.? 🤷‍♂️

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Tell your grandma she can sms you, I suppose. What else is on facebook?

[–] No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Signal and telegram instead of WhatsApp

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

I have all three. I'd ditch whatsapp if my peers weren't kinda stuck on it

[–] phonics@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

What's the beef with substack? I haven't heard anything about that.

[–] hpx9140@fedia.io 5 points 3 weeks ago

Founders are nazi-enablers.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Substack platforms and enables the monetization of Nazi content.

In terms of common consumer products?

Dryer sheets, which are typically made from polymer fibers. Use wool dryer balls instead.

Single-use water bottles - just buy a water bottle.

Ziplock bags for food storage - buy some solid, washable food containers with rubber seals. They'll keep food better for longer.

Also stop using the plastic bags in the produce section at the grocery store - get some reusable produce bags instead. The ones I have are thin mesh that doesn't block the barcode scanner at the checkout. The only produce I don't recommend this for is stuff that is typically wet like lettuce.

Basically try to avoid single-use plastics, many are unrecyclable (soft plastics like bags frequently just end up in landfill) or just dump extra plastic fibers into the environment (like dryer sheets). There are good reusable options for most of them.

Sorry, I need those to rebel

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 2 points 3 weeks ago

Sure, this only works if everyone stops buying them. Including your enemies. You could then have a fistfight instead, or do property damage or whatever 😅

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Are you going to at some point? Or are you waiting for someone to order you to rebel or something?

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We’re all waiting on you!

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago

No, sorry, I'm not in the mood. You can return the guns, I think, the revolution isn't happening.

Cancel amazon

American goods.

[–] randombullet@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

Don't buy anything. Make your own things! As much you can obviously.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

Shit you don't need.

[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Stocks and bonds. (Oh, and futures and options and derivatives and ETFs and crypto and collateralized debt obligations and all the rest of that bullshit.)

The entire "financial sector". The "markets".

And I mean like... if E V E R Y O N E did.

[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, and ads too. Everybody needs to stop buying advertising altogether.

Ok. I think that fixes it.
