I mean, given the way fossil fuels are connected, filling up your car probably supports the war in Ukraine by giving Putin more money to make more bombs.

Here I'm the idiot for thinking this tech could be a net saving in electricity since the doors could be better insulated and opened less frequently.

Yeah this is what I figured it was for. Better to add more screen time to your customers' eyes and increase you energy use rather than risk your store looking empty for a second. Also, of course prices went up, how do you think we're gonna pay for these fuckin' screens?

Capitalist efficiency in action: instead of clear doors for drink refrigerators, let's make a costly, unnecessary screen that doesn't even show when a drink you want is out of stock!

I was just looking up why people were getting loving bitcoin ads in fortune cookies and found this awful bullshit: https://www.openfortune.com/  quote:We took the traditional fortune cookie. Imagine the kind of loving brain worms marketers must have where they see any empty space of any kind anywhere and go WHY ISN'T THERE AN AD THERE???

quote:OpenFortune leverages that extra space for our clients’ branded content, while maintaining the integrity of traditional fortune messages and lucky numbers. Y'know I didn't even consider fortune cookies to need to have "integrity" until you put ads on them. Like I already had zero trust for what a fortune cookie tells me but you somehow made that trust negative with this bullshit, which is impressive in a hosed up way.

Their news section's most recent article is about the tourist board for loving Bradenton, Florida using it, which I didn't even realize had a tourist board.quote:Clark said that she and her staff created about half of the 40 fortunes on their cookies. They had to be clever and had to contain a level of mystery, because after all, people don't want to be cheated out of their fortune. Anyone who might live in New Haven, please don't go to Bradenton because a cookie told you. Or for any other reason, really. e: lmao quote:Falcione said getting people to realize there is a Bradenton, along with Sarasota, attached to the airport is critical. Bradenton: It Exists!™ Shame Boy has issued a correction as of 07:45 on Mar 13, 2022 |

This is exactly what happens at my local Walgreens. The screens show a bountiful refrigerator bursting with all the most delicious beverages that modern society has made available to the consumer, but when you open the door there's just a single dented can of Red Bull: Blue Edition

Almost like in a better world the supply chains wouldn't be hosed and Walgreens would pay people enough that they give a poo poo and actually restock the fridges and the fridge doors would just be regular clear glass that would show you what's inside without a shiny farrago of lies
