Aah… Embrace absurdism.
Yeah, low blood sugar does that… wars and shit.
Lace it with LSD and it’ll fix my outlook on life for about six months until reality wears me down again.
Hmmmmm. I should try drugs.
Try a lot of some drugs, a little of others, and none of bath salts.
Drugs.
Start before you stopI stumbled on this video like a decade ago, no idea how it has such low views. It’s a gem.
Drugs are pretty great.
DARE to try interesting drugs
I used to do this and it helped my mental state a lot. LSD refresh every 6-12 months.
But I haven’t had a source for LSD in 2 years now 😭
A full 6 months of good outlook from some acid??? Geez you getting good returns!
Nihilist Arby’s all over again.
Was this an actual real post or satire?
I genuinely have no clue.
Welcome to the 2024. This year’s presidential election will have exclusive live coverage on election night, from your official election coverage team…The Onion. No word on if they’ll still deal in satire on the night, but it is confirmed that it will be absurd.
I would absolutely love for this to happen
I don’t think the marketing people for a billion dollar corporation would be that bold.
Didn’t the Wendy’s Twitter account upend all that years ago? There were some bold tweets for a while.
I think it’s just an advertisement for Snickers. Gross.
The sign of a successful ad campaign is when the campaign itself gets satirized to continue to build on brand awareness.
But that only works if the satirization is still somehow stylistically distinct to be recognizable as a satirization of your brand.
You could put Wendy’s, Walmart, Northrup Grumman, Tyson, Bank of America, whatever, into this, and just change the last line a little bit, and I still would not be able to determine if its satire or not.
Twofold reasons:
1 Corporate Advertisement in general is almost completely stylistically played out. Almost everyone has tried almost every approach. It’s all just blended together, at least for me, into ‘insert nearly any kind of rhetoric or style or music or imagery here’ followed by: So buy the thing.
Sure, there are still some general trends for certain marketed product types … but …
2 Is anything on Twitter/X genuine? First we had a whole bunch of brand accounts acting like increasingly twitter brained idiots, then we had Musk’s disastrous takeover and blue check fiasco with people impersonating corpo accounts running wild, now the bots are even more widespread AND the general corpo trend seems to be ‘yes actually just have AI generate/do everything’, why wouldn’t text only posts currently be able to be handed over to an edgy ChatGPT model?
Like… this image, the account has some kind of silver tick or badge or something.
Is that from older Twitter era meaning its verified?
Was the account hacked?
Was this image photoshopped?
…
Can you even tell the difference between a serious idiot, an unserious troll, or a bot mimicking one of those, without an investigation?
The next comment I read after yours links to:
Meme aside, either one of those guys straight up shilling? Ehg.
btw in my personal opinion:
You’re 35 years old, mired in college debt that did nothing for the career you have and hate. You’ll never own a house. You can’t even consider having children. You’re filled with anxiety over climate change, inevitable wars. The world is doomed.
When life feels extra spicy, cool down with a Frosty. It won’t fix everything, but it’s a start. Wendy’s.
You could put Wendy’s, Walmart, Northrup Grumman, Tyson, Bank of America, whatever, into this, and just change the last line a little bit, and I still would not be able to determine if its satire or not.
I read this as an oblique reference to the “you’re not you when you’re hungry” campaign. It’s a bit of a reach, but it works.
Corporate Advertisement in general is almost completely stylistically played out
It’s like any other thing with fashion or styles. Trends come and go, different eras have distinct markers, later eras may intentionally evoke references or tributes to earlier eras, or other contemporary trends in other fields.
Because when you’re down in life, nothing quite helps like getting fat, diabetes and cavities.
Treat yourself to even more problems!
Tbf, you don’t get diabetes from eating sugar. But the fat and cavities will do. *eats his feelings*
literally just trying to stay alive until my mother passes away, just so she doesn’t have to bury a child. Then it can finally be over.
Like, I got personal reasons I think life sucks, but boy howdy I have no shortage of “big picture” reasons too
Maybe you just need a Snickers?
actually I’m allergic to peanuts and treenuts, so a Snickers would probably only expedite my exit (can’t eat them due to allergy warnings)
Milky way.
Also has allergen warnings.
You’d be shocked how much candy that doesn’t contain nuts, might contain enough to kill someone with a severe allergy. Half my halloween candy when I was a kid, every year, would end up going to my mother for that exact reason.
I’m sorry you feel that way too, I’m in the same exact boat so I know what that feels like… I’m just waiting for my older relatives to pass so I don’t hurt them and then I can finally stop existing.
There are a lot of Republicans I need to outlive before I throw in the towel.
Covid commercials in a nutshell
That’s so cynical that I would almost kinda respect it if I didn’t hate marketing on principle.
Well you can just buy that check mark, and I have trouble believing the advertising people at Snickers are bold enough to actually post this, so it’s probably satire
You can also just Photoshop or edit the page source to make it say whatever you want
That’s cheating, and someone could catch you.
Not me of course; that would require actually checking Xitter
So you’re saying it’s not just me?
I have had a snickers and it is just you. Eat a verification snickers and you can be just like me
I’m 42 and my uni debt was about 15k GBP, down to a couple of grand now as I’ve just been paying interest until the last 5 years when I landed a good job and started clearing it. Out of interest, what was the amount you owed in your country when you finished, and what do you owe now at your current age?
USA
Owed $52,000 upon graduating with a bachelor’s degree.
It’s been
1612 years and I still owe $40,000.I regret going to college every day of my life.
Good old mars wrigley. Always giving lip service to helping the environment.
Nah, Americans will vote for killing children in the Gaza prison. Because ANYTHING but Trump is what’s good.
Even if that means supporting Israel’s genocide.
And American’s will still act like they have some moral superiority over the people they paid into bombing. 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
What does this have to do with literally anything in the post??
Russian trolls just getting desperate at this point…
🥱
Yawning at genocide, an American tradition. But keep telling yourself you have some moral high ground. 😙
Go ahead, vote for genocide and Trump’s border wall.
Nice try idiot
I am not 35. I’m 34.
Give it some time…
No.
I know I do
