    Damn, what sort of magician's tricks are they playing with the lighting? No way is a pair of shorts that vibrant.

    after seeing that picture, i just cant understand how anyone can use it and be "this is ok" and buy shit from there. To me, it would make me feel like cattle that is good only for giving money to some rich shit in exchange for what is essentially trash.

    It's super cheap. If I'm gonna buy low quality junk anyway, I might as well purchase it directly from the source instead of with a 200% markup on Amazon or even higher in a local store.

    I saw on a YouTube video that they have some "quick, it's a limited deal!" events that pop up all the time where you're forced to get 3 items or more in order to get the free bonus and you need to do it QUICKLY and can only choose from a limited pool of items that the algorithm chose for you according to what it thinks you like, so people is buying shit for FOMO

    Time to finance that in easy installments of $4.37

    For $17 you'd be losing money if you didn't buy that.

    The Chinese are over there trying to get into the heads of Americans: "They like this food they call barbecue. It's just meat cooked over a fire, but they just love it. Anyway, they like to have these beans with it. It's like their rice, with their Barbecue.

    "They really, really love these beans. They love them so much, that I'll bet they'll wear a dress with beans on it!"

    They aren't even trying. They're throwing anything at the wall and iterating. It's like they're training an LLM, but for an industry of crap being sold to idiots.

    Valid.

    That's what I say about Trump bankrupting all those casinos. It wasn't just because he's a bad businessman (although that's well established), but it's because that was the business plan from the start. Buy the casino, run up the debt, strip it of every possible asset, then file bankruptcy, stiff everyone, and keep the money.

    Once he succeeded at that the first time, don't you think Trump would want to do it again? He did, 5 more times. It wasn't bad business, it was a successful business model. He only quit when the courts caught on and he couldn't do it anymore, or he'd STILL be doing it.

    It's fun to point and laugh at his poor business acumen, using the casinos as proof, but the truth is much darker - he stole from, and forcibly unemployed, thousands of people, just to line his pockets, and the courts allowed him, and even helped him do it, over and over.

    It's more banal than that. The new thing over on Etsy is all-over printing, where it isn't just a logo on a T-shirt, it's a pattern that covers the entire item.

    You can upload a pattern, and they can print it on a blank white dress for pennies. The best part is that you don't have to do a run of a thousand or whatever, you can print literally just ONE.

    So while it's doubtful that they will sell many baked bean dresses, it didn't really cost them anything to offer it, and they did create a dress that got us all talking about it.

    It's a great ad for the platform: "Look, they've even got weird stuff like that baked bean dress. Surely they'll have something I'll want."

    Get it?

    Print-on-demand IS pretty cool. For less than what it costs to buy some expensive piece of clothing with some billionaire's logo on it, so YOU can pay for the privilege of advertising HIS company, you can create clothes with your own logo, or artwork, or design, or pattern on it, and express YOURSELF.
