In the Middle East: drones deliver to Amazon.

[-] inari@piefed.zip 42 points 1 month ago

Same-day delivery, motherfuckers

[-] M137@lemmy.today 13 points 1 month ago

Before you even knew it delivery*

[-] Elting@piefed.social 112 points 1 month ago

Lol. Lmao even.

The right Amazon is burning finally.

Because that's what the news audience is interested in: the impact of the latest war on Amazon data centers. Which can be rebuilt and are owned by people with more than enough resources to do so endlessly.

  • the news isn't limited to this one article
  • publicizing news about the consequences of war, no matter the scale, incentivizes those involved to push for an end to conflict. Investors don't like it when companies have to spend money to rebuild things
[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Nah. The comments that say “duh, we already knew that.” And “borrrring” are always right.

(I agree with the otter)

[-] paraplu@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Major damage to US corporate infrastructure seems more likely to have a real impact on the length of the war. Heart wrenching stories about humanitarian crises don't seem to have that sort of impact. Even if they would, there are too many of these stories to draw sustained public interest in any single event or group of related events. Corporate involvement at least has a board who has to try to take action on behalf of investors. It wouldn't be a romantic end, but it might be better than nothing.

And yet I'm sure they'll somehow find a way to make the little guy pay for the repairs

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago

Damn it! We specifically said not to attack those!

Okay. One more time! Here's the no-go list:

  • xAI
  • OpenAI
  • Palantir
  • Oracle
  • Amazon
  • Microsoft
  • Google
  • Meta

How hard is that!?!?

[-] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 31 points 1 month ago

I mean.... Finally some good fucking news

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago

If they can still repair it I guess more drones are needed

Fuck Amazon

I remember Bezos at the inauguration. He's spent millions on the administration, including the inaugural party and financing not only the first lady's documentary, but its positive reviews. All of them. And that's just the highlights; Bezos has given so much to promote this administration at every turn.

Glad to see this kind of multiplicative return on his investment. He is very literally getting the presidential experience he paid for.

Not a lot of anti-air defences at a data center. Maybe this type of protest should become more common...

[-] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

No the last thing we need is big tech private armies

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

The main armies are the private armies. They can't realistically do much more, they are up against an actual country.

In Soviet Russia, drone delivers to Amazon.

This is the free market at work

[-] kboos1@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

If they ordered them from Amazon does it count as a return?

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 11 points 1 month ago

Oh no that's terrible.

Anyway, who's up for pizza?

[-] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Oh no! 😬

They'll just lay off a bunch of people to cover the cost and have it rebuilt pretty quickly.

[-] errer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

And all this shit is insured

[-] ooterness@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Insurance never covers damages from war, because that's a good way to bankrupt the insurance company. Even they don't have infinite money.

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Not only are you wrong, there is also war risk insurance. Pricey, sure, but it's Amazon.
