Yeah. It’s the same technique used in horoscopes or to sell multilevel marketing vitamin pills. A collection of vague shit we’re all feeling followed by whatever they are selling. In this case they’re trading the message in for Lemmy points.

I don’t think peasants are tied to the land so that makes us all serfs which is even lower I believe. But yeah.
For the longest time in my life I didn’t realize that a conventional oven is different from a convection oven. Some regular size ovens have a convection mode even though they are also conventional.
I assume that’s why when someone finally came up with a decent word substitute for “convection” – that is air fryer – it sold well.
Pardon me, maître d', but this Fruity Pebbles is not warm.
Dimensions don’t have to be spatial or temporal. They can just be parameter spaces. So, how much water sprayed on you during the ride is a parameter with a value and hence a dimension.
But yeah, this marketing phrase is only going to impress someone with the education of a six year old child.
I lived in San Francisco in the 90s. I was in my 20s. I didn’t own a TV. Often, on Thursday nights, I’d go over to a friend’s house and watch TV to see Seinfeld. It was the only comedy show that I can recall worth watching. We always laughed at it. Maybe because we could relate to the characters and situations, I don’t know; I don’t want to analyze it. Never saw the standup comic himself even though I was going to standup comedy back then. Never bothered with the meta stuff about the show like criticism and shit; ain’t got time for that. If anyone brings up the show now then I will recall it fondly. That is all.
Doesn’t Dennis Leary have a bit about this phrase? “Assholes” being plural & “one” being singular? The phrase bothered him for some reason
Me too! It was on network TV in the mid 70s. They censored it so she said, “Your mother sews socks in hell!” LOL! The one time I ever cowered under a blanket during a scary part.
