See?

The “whilst obvious hyperbole” bit is the clue. The two situations/comments/opinions are just examples, never happened and never will

It wouldn’t have mattered what examples I’d made up, someone like you would come along and go “wELL aKShULLy”

Fucksake!

They’re the same types that appear in comment threads with contradictory arguments to literally fucking anything -

“We should save the whales”

“Yes but my cousin got splashed by a whale on a boat trip as a toddler and now has a terrible phobia that makes her wheeze whenever she sees one. Do you want that, is that what you want?”

“We should plan walkable cities”

“OH MY GOD SHES IN A WHEELCHAIR TOO DO YOU ONLY EVER THINK ABOUT YOURSELF YOU ABLEIST”

😂

My theory is that they’re just unbelievably bo-o-o-o-oring, humourless people with nothing to add to a conversation but a desperate need for attention

As much as I despise the fat-tongued mockney, Jamie Oliver’s website is the only one I’ve seen that has the ingredients and method on two tabs so you can flick between them

Dunno why they’re not all like that

Good luck! Everyone deserves unlimited internet and consumer rights!

Weird how 97% of people don’t think that eh? 😂

I actually know this! Sorry for late reply

Farnell Europe is a brilliant company

I said “home internet hasn’t had data caps for a couple of decades, well except maybe in that one country where people have no consumer rights and everyone gets fucked up the arse for money just for existing”. I’m paraphrasing here.

You said - “Oh yeah, let me prove you right!”

I’m not sure where you’re going with this

Home internet has unlimited internet

It’s not 2002

Well, maybe not in that…one… country

The hot tub effect.

People go on holiday, use a tub and decide they simply must have one at home

Then find out they’re just a gigantic pain in the arse that guzzles electric

Have they been SLAMMED too?

☝️The capitalist’s wet dream 😂

The normal supermarkets gouge you for every penny, so you now believe that you’re being gouged less by paying an annual fee

Fuckin hell mate 😅

Dear god.

So you think that your paying the employee benefits and wages should be in advance, regardless of whether you shop there?!? They actually convinced you of that?

They blackmailed you into thinking that prices would rise and wages would go down… Yes, by approximately the fees you pay for membership, whether you shop there or not

Then you actually, genuinely think that you’re getting a “gift certificate” without any idea that you already paid for it

Holy shit 😂

It’s honestly scary how gullible the average consumer is

I guess you don’t realise when someone’s profiting off you left, right and centre lol

Think about it; what does the membership fee actually cover?

Wait you guys got conned into paying to go shopping?!?

All those leaded petrol fumes really did a number didn’t they lol

Sounds like something a Belgian would say 🧐

Well duh. Stupid people are scared of the phrase, and clever people are annoyed by it. That just leaves the Belgians

If Thames Water has anything to do with it, it’s toxic as fuck

Been finishing off the Invasion - Downfall series by DC Alden

A hypothetical scenario where the islamic state invades Europe and the UK

Brilliantly written nonstop action thriller, it starts with a bang and never lets up.

I wondered why I never heard of it, then I read the comments on Goodreads from all the people who don’t know what fiction is 😂😂

The little 500s are hilarious to drive, and a nightmare to own

Really shit quality and always have been

The megathread is here if anyone is wondering
