People just buy them to flip to the real suckers, while giving this fuck actual money. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Three thoughts. First, there might only be one pair of the gold ones and he's using them as a tool to get people to the website to buy the slightly more reasonable red or white ones and cologne/perfume. At the very least the red and white look like wearable shoes. It's weird that the gold ones on the website are clearly numbered but there isn't a reference to how many are being made. Second, the white and red ones both say they are just samples meaning that the ones people get will most likely be worse in every way but because they don't ship until August no one will be able report how shitty they are until its to late to cancel. Third, the red ones say "T-REDWAVE" on the side. Is that when a trans man still has their period because we know it doesn't refer to sweeping Republican election victories? permalink fedilink source parent [–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Every quote from Bob Dobbs seems to apply to the magats - "Act like a dumbshit and they'll treat you like an equal" always pops to mind, but I'm not sure what tiny d is doing is an act. permalink fedilink source parent [–] secundnature@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Have those shoes been dipped in gold!? permalink fedilink source parent
