Oh hey everyone! Look at meee! Totally not the false face of a faceless corporation, run by several people paid to get your attention here to say I AM IN ON IT! Let me just insult you to get attention, and act like a doomer for the shock factor so people spread it on the social mediums [like they are now]. Let me mock your struggles and beliefs just for the sake of a simple adver-- won't you p-p-please buy my product? Just a little more consumption will totally fill the void in your heart!

Naaaah, fuck off you craven rats

Or, in more succinct terms:

SILENCE, BRAND.

do we have to post corporate tweets on lemmy

[–] [email protected] 44 points 11 months ago (1 children)

i'm not gonna go to xwitter to check, but it reads like a fake one to me.. and even the marketing intern that probably types out their social media posts would know that SNICKERS is a ®egistered trademark

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Plus the phrase is "Grab a SNICKERS."

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

I'm tired of these unrealistic corporate stereotypes.

I mean, 35? I'm already into my 40's with all the same issues and fears...

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

Snickers - With all of these other problems, you'll barely notice the diabetes.

It's like when 7-Up did the 'make 7-up yours' campaign and people thought it was funny despite it basically telling them that 7-Up's feelings towards them are "fuck you."

The message speaks well of my situation, but that doesn't mean I'll buy a fucking Sneakers™ like a mindless consumer drone. FUCK™ YOU™ BRAND™

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Motherfucking brand, you literally just underlined everything that's wrong with the world you and your ilk created, answer me honestly: Do you think a fucking snickers is going to solve that shit? Two, even, I'm feeling sporting here.

God damn this is as relatable as nihilist arbys

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

This sounds like an ad from Nightvale

Thank god I'm from Eastern Europe and I don't have a college debt. CRIES WHERE IS MY SNICKERS™?!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, you don't get our mass-produced chocolate, you get handmade better chocolate. You bastard!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That's not really what eastern Europe is famous for

What do you mean inevitable

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Serious answer: With the climate crisis some areas in the world will become impossible to live in (look up wet bulb temperature). Now you have a massive amount of refugees who want to go somewhere else, if necessary by force.

When there's suddenly millions of people pushing against country borders all it takes is a few shots and you have a war.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Ah, inevitable additional wars, separate from the many ongoing wars all over the planet

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Not just high wet bulb temperatures, but also severe disruption to fresh water and shifting rainfall pattern. What used to be consistent patterns in nature that prevented droughts might change due to the changing climate. An example of this is mountains becoming ice-free, making them stop releasing fresh water throughout the year as the ice melts.

Bruh, I'm 21 and that's my situation... God damnit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Good news you have another 14 years guaranteed. Bad news it wont get better during that time

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm 36, have no college debt, own a house and have no desire to have children. But sure, I'll take a Snickers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

how did you get a house???

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I'm 29 and often feel like this, but I've learned that mindfulness goes a long way and I highly recommend practicing it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Not going anywhere for a while? Or ever?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

SNICKERS™ makes everything better. Its the new coke™.
