hey there fellow posters

i've recently posted the "Not only is this not how anyone writes, I do not understand why anyone would want to read anything that sounds anything like this" post to my lemmy, reddit, or twitter, and let me tell you, it's been a total game-changer

i know this isn't particularly novel but it's just so depressing we have to read this dogshit everywhere now

It's gotta be exhausting to work in a workspace, warehouse, or factory, not knowing which it will be day to day! At least they arrive knowing the random workplace is ventilated!

Looks like it mysteriously and, more importantly, seamlessly fit in his home garage as well.

And "it's great in especially places like Florida", so he clearly has to move around quite a lot.

What a hectic life, poor fellow poster.

How do you do, fellow humans?

I'm doing well, just cooling off with my AmazonCommercial HVF20-SP Industrial Fan, 20", which is the perfect size and has multiple settings, which I appreciate as a human shopper looking for a good deal on a great product. It's versatile enough to cool my bedroom OR my warehouse. I love my AmazonCommercial HVF20-SP Industrial Fan, 20". How are you? Are you also enjoying a powerful, yet quiet, cooling experience, my friend?

Would the AmazonCommercial HVF20-SP Industrial Fan, 20" fit a SkyNet T-420 Human Relations Cybernator torso? Asking for a human friend who is having cooling issues.

Oh, just fine dear fellow human. Thank you for asking.

How do you do yourself?

Y'all don't normally write in Markdown?

I know Adam Smith. He's John Doe's cousin.

Damn, Adam Smith, Father of Capitalism, out here proudly hustling reviews for Amazon products from his deathbed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Is your beef that the review is fake or that it's poorly written?

Because everybody knows ALL reviews on Amazon are fake. If that's what you find depressing, I guess you've been living under a rock for the past 10 years. It's nothing new...

As for the low quality of the fake review, fear not: AI will soon make all fake reviews literary works of art. You'll soon be able to spend countless hours on Amazon enjoying high-quality machine-written reviews 🙂

“it’s nothing new”/“why are we so surprised” has got to be my least favorite genre of internet comment

because how dare corruption be confronted with proportionate disdain in its time— no, we have to feel and act self important about it all

(no hate to you individually, commenter bc maybe you aren’t aware you are doing this. just a sad trend i have noticed, at the best is unkind and at worst normalizes the status quo)

Ideal for cooling that CPU.

Fellow Kids might appreciate the writing style
