We still have it in Australia (called layby). I know some people who use it to buy larger Xmas or birthday presents way ahead of time and pay it off over many months.

Here are the rules and costs for Kmart for example: https://www.kmart.com.au/layby/

It's simple thermodynamics really.

Yeah was wondering the same here from Australia.

Back when my daughter was born, not only did we not pay anything, the government gave us a $5000 "baby bonus"

I'm surprised Japan doesn't have more "please have children" incentives with their declining demographics.

Yeah I remember being in Bali in December and reading about it. Then it hitting news in the west in January and I think by February or March dozens of people were dying in Italy with overflowing hospitals.

Yeah seeing the post had me worried for a while but appears it's not and android thing but a Samsung thing. This is why I stopped buying Samsung phones 6 years ago.

Did you get the memo?

Yeah I'm starting to see this in every meme post. There's always someone commenting "ai slop" or whatever.

It's a meme. We know. AI was used as a tool to convey a 2 second joke. Not sure why they're getting so worked up.

It's like calling a photo "camera slop" because it wasn't painted. Or an email "internet garbage" because you didn't mail a paper letter.

Sorry I know I'm preaching to the choir here but their comments are more annoying than what they're complaining about and I just needed to vent a bit.
