Let's just pick the single worst year in US history and then we'll have a benchmark.

I'm going to say 1850, because the Fugitive Slave Act was passed and the Trail of Tears was still happening. Plus, women of all colors had pretty much zero legal rights. Child labor was completely unfettered by any regulation. Don't forget shitbag Henry Clay's 1850 Compromise, or the corrupt presidency of noted idiot Millard Fillmore.

Oh, and the Third Great Awakening, which fostered a huge amount of bullshit.

Seems like a pretty good spot. I was gonna say 1862 since the Civil War was going on, slavery was still legal, runaway slaves were still being returned to their owners (even by the US Army), Indian massacres were still happening, women still didn't have rights, and foreign governments were honestly thinking about siding with the Confederate States and helping them win their racist war for slavery.

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
I’m not sure if it’s a cultural thing, but I never got the love for bacon the internet bestows upon it. Like, it takes like pork-flavoured cardboard.

Like, if I was a vegetarian and someone said “but what about bacon?”, I would be like “dude, that’s not even the best food to come from a pig.

Duluth Trading Company copywriter looks like a fun if extraneous job. Pretty much all their ad copy is embarrassing, and makes me wish their pants were made better for a less psychotic company.

Yeah, their ads are pretty terrible and seem hyper focused on men's crotches.

However the firehose pants they make are pretty great and very comfy. So theres that.

You could call the police at any time for any reason, but there's a good chance that whomever shows up will murder you in cold blood depending on your skin color.

Reminds me of DUDE WIPES

Which are just normal flushable wipes but cost like 8x as much because they're in BLACK PACKAGING and made for DUDES.

There's a male grooming product company I actually want to like, because they seem decent, I like the scents they produce, and I'm all for supporting small companies. However, everything they had was expensive enough that I decided to hold out on actually buying anything (at least until a sale) without comparing and searching for other options.

Then I finally went with some lady friends to Target after a few drinks and found very similar products for much cheaper.

It kind of disappointments me that all of these companies just mark everything up to 8-10x of the price of products for :females:, but at the same time I'm kind of okay with capitalism leaching off of fragile masculinity. Both of those things are bad, so I'm okay if they start fighting each other. I hope they both lose.

There was at one point and probably still is a company that marketed pig based gun oil so that you could not just kill Muslims, you could be sure to send them to hell.

I am not googling to find that though.

I googled so you don't have to. Here's some links. (The manufacturer's website has gone down for some strange reason, but nothing's ever gone on the Internet.)

All this but DO NOT STICK IT IN YOUR EARS!!!

And the Chud obession with bacon as some kind of Muslim repellent was the first tangible sign of the brainworms that were going to lead a good chunk of the US population to think Mr All the Crimes who lives in a golden palace in the sky was the person to fix America and therefor should be president. They honestly think that if a Muslim gets even near pork they'll burst into flames or something. Do they think a cup of coffee is going to turn a Morman into a pile of dust?

No lie, I enjoy bacon more than porkchops or sausage. I blame the delicious sodium compounds (cba to check if they're nitrates or nitrites).
