@awk I really wish Meh.com would stop selling shit (clothing and sheets) made out of plastic that breaks down into micro-plastics when washed and then pollute waterways and oceans and our bodies.

@lichme Where did the $20 IRK coupon come from, how did I miss that?
I have those $5 coupons but haven’t heard anything about the $20 ones.

@Lynnerizer The coupons were $5, the IRK was $20. I could see how what I wrote was confusing

@lichme Oh I gotcha, thanks for clarifying!

@Hittman It has turned into a lot more just junk and ‘food’ and questionable medical applications.

Are companies just throwing overstock away? Is there a bigger resale market that’s catching the good stuff before meh can get it?

@Hittman I’ve never heard the phrase ‘two pack of tv’s’ before - that’s delightful

@mcanavino My guess is the global economy dumpster fire is a factor at the moment - war in Europe is massively interrupting oil and gas availability and prices there and, though the USA has embraced death over inconvenience as regards pandemic measures, the country that produces the bulk of our goods is still on a zero-Covid train and shutting down (at least in pockets) on the regular. Supply chain disruptions, ongoing medical crises, and crazy inflation don’t create ideal ‘deal a day’ conditions.

@Hittman Your two examples set the bar extremely high. Items like that have NEVER been common or even occasional here. Personally, I’m happy with my ‘high bar’ being a normally $200 Bluetooth speaker, heh.

@thechinglish Yeah! Let’s turn it into an auction site!

@thechinglish I’ll post 8 fifty.

@jmbunkin It’s okay though, didn’t you see they misleadingly described it as “minky fleece” first, so you might not notice it’s plastic!

Edit: Jesus, even the “jersey” is 40% plastic.

@somf69 That’s gotta be one of the cutest order giphys ever!

@PooltoyWolf So does hardcore… And most other stuff, for that matter! I admit to enjoying watching the dumpster fire, in a schadenfreude kinda way. It’s way past time Elon’s worshippers find out he’s not really a god after all.

@ircon96 I want the elongated muskrat out as much as everyone else, but it sucks to see the website that I and so many other people rely on going up in flames. Artists especially. Right now, all image files aren’t loading.

@PooltoyWolf I’m sorry to hear that part of it, as well as any people who dedicated their lives to the company losing their jobs, or the few remaining having to watch the slow-motion train wreck up close. When billionaire asshats throw their wealth around on the whim of the day, there always seem to be plenty of innocent victims, or as they would describe you, “inconsequential.”

Did I do it wrong?

@SnDMommy That’s a terrible example to set, kitty! Can you imagine being around a cat that hopped up on nicotine?? Usually, if a cat is smoking, it’s because he let his tail get too close to an open flame.

@ircon96 @SnDMommy Or like a kitten I had years ago who got too close to a candle and its whiskers got singed. Actually where my cats are right now while I am out of town one of them managed to singe the whiskers above their eyes and there are no open flames in that household except a gas stove.

@snurfle I can’t buy them either. I’m 5’ 6" and have a 63-inch waist.

@snurfle finding anything longer than 32 is a right bitch nowadays.

@snurfle

@snurfle Some Aeropostale sweats come long and work for 36" inseam. Sale prices are decent.

@Skaene @snurfle You think it’s bad on the men’s side, you should try finding a 34" inseam on the women’s side. Pretty much nonexistent. 33 is as close as I’ve gotten.

@snurfle @werehatrack mmhmm. am woman. have not worn women’s pants on a regular basis since I was… like… 11?12?
have a few pairs for specific occasions but they were expensive.
or yoga style more recently. screw that.

@Skaene @snurfle @werehatrack I have no problem finding inexpensive brand 34" inseam woman’s. Often it isn’t in stores. I find I often have to try on a shorter pair and then order online. Or buy men’s. I’ve done that more than once in the past. If you are just into basic jeans there’s no real difference except which side the zipper zips on (well unless you have a huge butt compared to your waist and then fit can be an issue). And who cares. Cripes who even looks to notice?

@TheMonkeyKing lol, Ky license plate

@TheMonkeyKing KY - Not just their abbreviation but also their Official State Jelly.

@yakkoTDI Which they do not supply; you’re expected to bring your own.

@werehatrack Yeah - sounds more like a jock strap.
