We are out here acting like corporations with a profit motive are going to make any effort to protect the future of mankind.

@selzero WTF?

[mazigazi@dobbs.town]

@selzero They do this with food too: Wrap it in recycled looking earth tones and say “natural” somewhere on the label and people assume it’s healthy. We aren’t deep.

@mazigazi @selzero
People be like "advertising doesn't work on me" but there is *absolutely* some kind of advertising that works on everyone.

@selzero
I just mentioned to a friend, that every product today feels like a scam and you have to dive through several pages of data sheets and fineprint to know how you are going to be scammed.
I'm going to use your post as a reference.

[tessarakt@mastodon.social]

@jargoggles @mazigazi @selzero This is not advertising, this is a fraudulent product description.

[stefan@stefanbohacek.online]

@selzero Wait, is this a thing yet?

[iwillyeah@mastodon.ie]

@tessarakt @jargoggles @mazigazi @selzero so, advertising

@stefan @selzero AGI, short for "A Guy Instead"

@selzero This isn't even a new product, seems it's at least 5 years old. Does is use 50% less plastic ? Oh yes it does. But they haven't listened to the public's sentiment that the labelling is misleading.

@stefan Here's a slightly better template for it. I'm not the greatest at image editing, but the clone and heal tools in GIMP are very nice

[stefan@stefanbohacek.online]

@ilikecats Thank you, well done!

I already put more effort into this than I probably should have. And also, I do like how imperfections make it more clear when an image was not made by AI!

@selzero and just like that, surpriiiiiiise!

[gregvr@wandering.shop]

@selzero @TheBreadmonkey I *did* just get a new container of yogurt that was in a similar container— but without the “I am made of paper” silliness.

It was really nice— the paper outside comes off easily and can be recycled and then the plastic inside is much thinner and can also be recycled.

[gabemoralesvr@mastodon.social]

@selzero what's insane is we DID have paper containers years ago. Milk Cartons used to come with wax lining. They switched to plastics in the early 80s because it was more economic. So... paper "bottles" are a thing, it's just that we as a society have become too stupid to remember how we did it.

[bussphomet@app.wafrn.net]

So when do we start just blowing things up and shooting shit down like Robocop Detroit.

Because we are already at the point where our corps are at Robocop levels of scummy.

[elexia@catcatnya.com]

@selzero a paper bottle would plainly not work. at most it can be reinforcement.

[peterbrown@mastodon.scot]

@selzero surely describing that as a paper bottle when it is actually plastic is straight up fraud?

[jernej__s@infosec.exchange]

@GabeMoralesVR @selzero Milk and some juices still come in paper containers here (Slovenia), though I think the inside is lined with plastic.
