What are some little things capitalism did that annoyed you personally. (hexbear.net)

I've got two off the top of my head:

First is that the design of the USB drives needing to be oriented up or down was the result of a minor cost cutting choice. The inventor regrets it because it wouldn't been easy made so that USB drives were reversible.

Second is the abundance of pointless SEO stuff on recipe pages. It would be a cool opportunity for the creator to add a personal touch to the recipe page beneath the recipe, but they pop in first along with ads and suggested links. And they're so frustrating to navigate that they had to incorporate a 'jump to recipe' button.

Gas station pump ads. Stop colonizing my brain!

me, remembering that my license plate is on video (and I used a credit card) so I don't start vandalizing the fucking screen

Those buttons around the screen? If you play around and press them all at once and keep them pressed, it sometimes fucks with the sound and silences it.

Around here its always second from the top on the right, but almost all of our stations are the same company.

EV charging stations also expect proprietary apps (with a different app for pretty much every station around where I live) that both spy on you and push obnoxious ads. disgost
