Financially stupid? I guess, but that applies to almost all collectibles. So does paying to go out for a meal when it’s cheaper to cook at home, but people still do it because they enjoy it.

That wiki entry literally says that it was designed to help during childbirth…

“for symphysiotomy and excision of diseased bone, respectively.”

Follow the link for symphysiotomy and it says “Symphysiotomy is a surgical procedure in which the cartilage of the pubic symphysis is divided to widen the pelvis allowing childbirth when there is a mechanical problem (obstructed labour).”

Ah yes, 48 hours forever

Sounds like if we keep going we’ll finally have male contraception other than condoms, that is surgery free!!

A professional golfer? He’s going to work…

Because I watched it and it’s very clearly CGI. Paint cans are an order of magnitude stronger than a wooden piano top, not to mention they wouldn’t all explode at the same time. The emoji ball didn’t just land at the edge. No one has a 10mx5m hydraulic press.

Do you really think paint cans are going to crush before a piano top? Absolutely no way. And to all burst at the same time?

Then there’s the guitar strings when they snap is way too unnatural. And the bouncing emoji ball just happens to escape and land perfectly at the edge.

Not to mention, no one has a 10m x 5m hydraulic press.

They didn’t actually destroy them… it’s all CGI. And people are free to enjoy music how they feel. I’d rather listen to a streamed song from my phone while sitting on the train than sitting there playing my guitar… imagine 50 people in a train carriage all trying to play their own music.

They still have 9.5% commission(or this drops to 8.5% if you pay $1000 artisan fee!), compared to Etsy which works out to be around 11-12% on most of the items I sell.

It also doesn’t link with my inventory management software. Etsy does, eBay does, Woocommerce does, Facebook does. It also doesn’t integrate with my shipping software, so I need to manually generate labels.

The benefits seem very minimal for a lot of caveats. If you have 1 or 2 products then fine, but when you have 10’s or 100’s of products, the time to list these on a site that will have a lot less traffic is way too long. I have a 2% gain in my profit margin, but a tonne more hassle.
