I totally get what you mean by exploited in a global socioeconomic sense, but I think it's funny because I associate it with the exploiting party gaining something of some sort of value from the process and I can't think of a single use you could gain from a human skeleton that isn't your own personal one.

there's a huge tradition of colonizers taking the bodies of the colonized for "study" to justify poo poo like eugenics

There are tons of uses for skeletons.

• Anatomy teaching aids

• Hamlet productions

• Halloween decorations

• Pranks

• Driving in the HOV lane

• Attaching to your motorcycle to make it look really, really cool

• Xylophone (cartoon skeletons only)

Yeah I might not know what I’m talking about but it reminds me of the Body Worlds scandal where it came out they had no documentation for who the bodies were and where they came from, with the people behind being unable to refute they weren’t executed Chinese criminals

There were at least two of those exhibits roaming the country in the 00's. The one I went to definitely had fetuses, so I guess the criminals start early in China.

I'm sure you could shape a rib to make a note. If you can do it on a taxidermiable animal you could have a sweet addition to your jug band.

Is that Ash Williams from Evil Dead? If so, he needs a few more items in his specialties list, like "surviving demonic attack" and "dismembering the dead".

This one isn't really a weird thing to sell, but more "I don't understand what is going through the seller's mind." This is complete trash, it all should have been thrown away and forgotten a long time ago. There is no one on the planet who is looking for a Tiger Electronics version of Connect Four, and I can practically smell that dirty Hangman image. But this ad has been reposted multiple times for at least a year and a half, possibly longer. We're in the middle of a pandemic and public lockdown, but whoever is posting this is still dutifully refreshing it, hoping to get $5 (for each game!). Every time I see this ad it blows my mind anew.

Exploration is ill-advised.
If anything he's massively undervaluing what some online weirdo will pay for an obscure example of what is on the most technical level a video game based on a well known brand to add to their sprawling collection of forgotten electronic crap and/or demonstrate online for an unprecedented audience of bored internet video watchers.

I had every single one of those things because my mum refused to buy me a Nintendo because she believed that video games were all bad but she allowed the Tiger games cause they were too simple to be harmful. I could even have Street Fighter 2. I think in terms of gameplay the Pacman one worked the best.

It's more interesting to me see come across a sad post like that and have that memory. I would rather shoot myself serenely in each side of my scrotum than watch some overgrown idiot on YouTube nerd out and try to play a "game" in 2020 that I was forced to own and play as a child.
