Ironic And Sad Posts From People Who Are Done With Consumerism (New Pics)

Pete Seeger is a good human.

But if you're in a position to donate to them, you still should. Their funding has been cut.

I have a 2017 Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid; meaning it has an electric engine and a small gas engine. When I bought it in 2019 it got 60 miles of electric. Now it gets about 30. You can't buy a new PHEV that has more than 35 miles of electric. Electric car batteries are the only technology that gets worse with science. But it sure does encourage buying more cars. Thanks Corporation.

This is the one example of a corporation doing something that technically benefits people in addition to their shareholders and customers.

Slay!!!

Go back to a simple cotton sheet to wrap the body. I mean...does it really matter what you're buried in? Dig a hole, chuck me in and backfill it. Go to the pub and have a whiskey for me. Job done.

When you need a truck, but don't have 'inadequate downstairs issues'.

Brilliant!

What I think put into words for me!! Fantastic!

We should feed the Kardashians to the poor...

This is called socialism. "If you give the most help to those who need the most help, you improve the situation for everyone."

This is awesome, I've got to try this.

"Should This Be Implemented Throughout The World?" You mean offering paying jobs to homeless people to help them get back on their feet? I realize picking up garbage isn't a dream job for most, but it's a start to get them food, a place to stay and be able to look at other jobs that won't see them as "homeless" but as actual "potential employees"

There will come a point where the impoverished will no longer have money to buy from the rich, and the whole thing will just collapse. I'd hope that the issues will get solved before it comes to that, but looking at the world's current state...

Our city has a paint place like that. Usually enough for a landlord to paint a house purple with green trim. and another one yellow with orange trim.

Quite normal in Europe

You can also use it as a regular candle should you ever need one.

I never thought to ask this! I might have to do this at my frequent sushi place see if they can do it.

I really, really appreciate people's commitment to deadnaming Twitter.

Coca Cola tastes nicer from a glass bottle than from a plastic one.

bless the people who spent their time cleaning it up

The difference is because, in the USA, capitalism is god. Waste is OK if someone can profit.

I've got.....$1?

Good on her 😊

We had a couple of decades to fix the crisis in the 70's. (Thanks Reagan /s) A decade or so to mitigate the crisis in the 90's or not hit any tipping points. Now we have a 'decade' to keep the crisis from becoming 'too bad'

The Atacama Desert would like a word

That depends: does "cheaper" mean "lower quality" clothes that would have to be replaced more often?

Now that trump is the incoming president, he thinks climate change ISN'T real! God help us, he'll help to destroy us!

The scam and the joke of the decade !!

And Trump will defenetly help😅

There are valid reasons for dumpster diving. But as a society, we are trained to think it's 'gross'. Just thoroughly wash after. 🤷‍♂️

I did this with beer growlers for a while. It's a fun, sustainable way to get craft beer, but then most places would not fill a growler if it wasn't their own, URG!!

Ocean Cleanup has found the fishing industry is way more at fault than plastic bottles.

BuT bUt! iT nEeDs to BE AESTHETIC/s

"Don't enjoy something handmade with love just for you - buy soulless overpriced c**p from a greedy corporation! You wouldn't want to make the corporation SAD, would you?"

They are hanging on because new cars expect you to have an I.T. degree to operate them and sell subscriptions for every ridiculous add on.

Nice, we went from seeing cig buts everywhere to vapes everywhere.

"And what good does it do you to own the stars?" "It does me the good of making me rich." "And what good does it do you to be rich?" "It makes it possible for me to buy more stars, if any are discovered." - Antoine de Saint Éxupery, The little prince

Okay now this infuriates me.

If it was old enough to be considered rotten and needing new paint...doesn't that also mean that the kid was just too old for it?

Not anymore. Now it's like this every week for whatever sale they're having that week.

two things: food code FORCES restaurants to throw food away if its 'open,' so outdated laws can be blamed for this type of thing. second - the poster below who said this SHOULD be trashed because of the lack of nutritional value has clearly never experienced hunger. People in poverty need food. period.

Also enter some unfulfilling relationship with someone who kinda tolerates you and produce more workers for the future, if possible.

This is misleading, in the fact it is often used to imply unethical practices such as hormone use or animal abuse. Chicken weight more on average because *we now raise different breeds*, that start to put on muscle mass faster and reach full maturation at 6 weeks of age instead of 12-15. Improved selection, crossbreeding and more controlled, better nutrition also brought new breeds that have more breast and leg muscle mass -the more valuable parts- compared to older breeds; other specific breeds are now used for egg laying because of better quality and dimension. The industry moved to better nutrients (for faster growth if not for health), more controlled raising facilities and more consistent feeding. Other than increased meat production, this had also other advantages: the risk of illness for industrial poultry decreased 66% in just two decades and the percentage of livestock loss during the rasing phase is now barely 1/5th of what used to be.

How are single use vapes not illegal?

No thanks, I don't want to share a city bus with 23 cars.

Aside from being even more wasteful than the already egregious disposable vape, this thing is clearly aimed at children (and others whose brain hasn't developed past a certain point) and is designed to try to make vaping even more addictive. Vaping products should be legally required to be boring and uncool. They're already d***s. We don't need to make them more exciting.

Looking at this sign reminds me that not only do I not need this stuff, I don't want it either.

In some cases wouldn't that trap the ethylene making it go bad faster.
