Wait, is the fact that produce is not selling a good thing?

[–] charokol@lemmy.world 3 points 57 minutes ago

The fact that OOP used the word “untouched“ makes me think this was a shitpost

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

They'll spin it as one of "produce is so abundant and cheap here it's overflowing the shelves" or "the produce is selling so fast they have to constantly restock the shelves to overflowing"

Ah yes, I remember getting diarrhea just from eating carrots the other day...

This reminds me of that time when Fox news tried to say that poor people don't have it bad because 82% of them have a microwave.

Turns out if you're a conservative shitbag you can just say stuff and for some reason you're neither shunned from society nor beaten and left for dead!

A MAGA uncle once told me I was a "whiny unamerican wimp" for complaining about income inequality when he's I had a television.

Ah, yes, because it's 1953, and a television costs a years salary, I forgot.

This dude was born in the fucking 70s.

Nah, there is a segment of the American right that truly believes that the poor should live like a Gilded Age beggar. You own nothing, you sleep in a box, and maybe, if you're lucky, the soup kitchen will have some bread that's not moldy. I had a coworker tell me I couldn't be poor because I wasn't homeless, because "only homeless people are really poor".

Meanwhile, vandwellers are out there counting up the cash they aren't spending on rent.

It's a shame there's a significant stigma to that lifestyle. The last time I was homeless, I was ready to go that route and save up the money I would've spent on rent. However, my girlfriend was terrified of the idea. She found me the place I'm staying in now, which I'm glad for; but the last time my bank account was this low, I was only working part-time. Rent is like a money-vacuum.

Because being a shitbag is the default and expected mode of operation for them. They betray no expectations and break no promises, the system is working as intended.

It's still on the shelf because people can't afford to buy them.

I wish I had diarrhea that would mean I ate something

[–] anugeshtu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Well, let them eat cake!

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 28 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's very clearly the joke.

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 65 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I thought the joke was no one is buying it because of all the food that is causing parasitic diarrhea.

Can't afford meat and veggies will give you diarrhea. America is finally great again.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

We're working hard to beat the fat stereotype

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 39 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

larenmcjesse is a famous shitposter.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 22 points 7 hours ago

It's shocking how many shitposters support Trump.

Oh, wait...

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago

So it IS diarrhea.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 hours ago

I love myself so fucking much for not knowing who they are and already forgetting them.

Given how this whole thing could have been much smaller if doge/47/elon had not dismantled the FDAs monitoring programs, Ive taken to calling this "butt covid" and its their fault.

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 5 points 2 hours ago

Butt covid, you hated those "face diapers", now try "real diapers!"

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Not just that, red states have also, side-by-side with the feds, dismantled their own oversight and public safety. This used to be the sort of thing your local Health Department could and would catch and deal with alongside federal HHS, but 40 years of ripping THAT copper out of the walls too means the whole thing folds in on itself when something happens.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 20 points 6 hours ago

I believe the scientific title is trumperrhea

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 16 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

This feels like a N Korea post, look at all the glorious food our people have!

We are learning from the best!

[–] Dpek@lemmy.zip 11 points 6 hours ago

You can tell its not like russian propaganda because nowhere is a warm water port mentioned
