What should everyone stop buying?

disposable vapes
*nicotine in general
Apparently they're so much worse than your regular refillable ones (not that those are too healthy, either).
Shit you don't need.
Microsoft, Google, Meta and Apple products.
Bonus round: Twitter, Amazon, Nestle, KiwiFarms, Substack, American News and we all could stand to cut out some sugar.
And Amazon!
Absolutely!!!
Keep em coming!
I wanted some Ovaltine the other day, then I looked at the back and saw who owned it. Back on the shelf it went.
You can make your own using non-diastatic malt powder, cocoa powder, and sugar.
I don't do apple, how can I stay away from meta though?
Don’t use any of their services and delete existing accounts.
Install an ad-blocker (Firefox and uBlock Origin)
Help others to jump ship from these platforms and spread awareness of ad-blocking.
I deactivated FB years ago do I still need to delete?
I would.
Took down all my stuff. It was years ago. Obviously they have their own copy somewhere in their Ai training database…
But it felt good taking it all down.
Like no. You don’t get to have any of my stuff with my permission anymore. You get to do it the hard way and fight my ad-blocker.
I’m sure they have multiple copies
Yes. And?
Um…I dunno. Screw you, Zuckerberg.? 🤷♂️
Tell your grandma she can sms you, I suppose. What else is on facebook?
Signal and telegram instead of WhatsApp
I have all three. I'd ditch whatsapp if my peers weren't kinda stuck on it
What's the beef with substack? I haven't heard anything about that.
Substack platforms and enables the monetization of Nazi content.
Founders are nazi-enablers.
Bullshit right wing propaganda lies
In terms of common consumer products?
Dryer sheets, which are typically made from polymer fibers. Use wool dryer balls instead.
Single-use water bottles - just buy a water bottle.
Ziplock bags for food storage - buy some solid, washable food containers with rubber seals. They'll keep food better for longer.
Also stop using the plastic bags in the produce section at the grocery store - get some reusable produce bags instead. The ones I have are thin mesh that doesn't block the barcode scanner at the checkout. The only produce I don't recommend this for is stuff that is typically wet like lettuce.
Basically try to avoid single-use plastics, many are unrecyclable (soft plastics like bags frequently just end up in landfill) or just dump extra plastic fibers into the environment (like dryer sheets). There are good reusable options for most of them.
- plastic of any kind
- sugary drinks

Cancel amazon
Meat.
AI subscriptions
Stocks and bonds. (Oh, and futures and options and derivatives and ETFs and crypto and collateralized debt obligations and all the rest of that bullshit.)
The entire "financial sector". The "markets".
And I mean like... if E V E R Y O N E did.
Oh, and ads too. Everybody needs to stop buying advertising altogether.
Ok. I think that fixes it.
Don't buy anything. Make your own things! As much you can obviously.
Weapons
Sorry, I need those to rebel
Are you going to at some point? Or are you waiting for someone to order you to rebel or something?
We’re all waiting on you!
No, sorry, I'm not in the mood. You can return the guns, I think, the revolution isn't happening.
Sure, this only works if everyone stops buying them. Including your enemies. You could then have a fistfight instead, or do property damage or whatever 😅
Fish and seafood. There is no sustainable fishery and the oceans are dying because of it.
No industrialised animal products are sustainable, and even if they were there is an unthinkable amount of suffering from it. Everyone should stop buying anything with animal products in it.
I'm surprised this is the first I've heard of this, are local fish hatcheries not sustainable?
findings
Common amongst the more than 150 studies that concluded hatcheries had an adverse effect on wild salmonid populations were negative impacts such as reduced genetic diversity due to interbreeding with hatchery fish, reduced average size of wild fish, reduced overall abundance of wild fish populations, and reduced fitness for natural reproduction.
