That Tikiman Thread  Mystery box poo poo is so stupid. Just drunkenly purchase poo poo from Amazon if you really need the thrill of receiving a package of stuff you may or may not want.

Wow, there really are subscription boxes for absolutely everything these days. I wondered if even a subscription boxes for wristwatches existed, of course one does! For only $30 a month I can only imagine the kind of garbage they send you.

Doomcrate Each month you get a cd with Doom maps and mods. Maybe Duke Nukem and Quake, too. Also works as a CD audio with new tracks from Black Sabbath tribute bands

I watch Ashens pretty religiously, and aside from the occasional video game I have not seen him open any item I would pay any amount of money for. The whole thing really makes me consider how much unsellable, unusable, non-recyclable garbage is being produced all the time because its so cheap to make and ship across the planet that it doesn't matter. It fills me with a kind of vertigo.

Except they'd lure you in with a huge discount then send you crap near RRP and count on you being too lazy to send them back

The amount of pollution the 'crate' industry spawns must be massive, between producing all those useless widgets to shipping them to a warehouse to shipping them to you + the packaging... and for what? Just so some nerds can feel a cheap empty thrill from getting new material possessions once a month.

Going back to Ashens dick sucking I really like how he used obsurce British dad words like "gumf" to describe miscellaneous crap that comes bundled with a product. It lends a comfy dad feeling to his webzone

Don't get me wrong I buy useless consumer crap like anyone else, my point is I go get it myself when I want it as opposed to getting random China factory surplus stuff shipped to me monthly from halfway across the globe.

It fills me with a kind of vertigo. Yeah. People talk about "post-scarcity" like it's some future thing that we'll need major paradigm-wrecking changes to get to, but it's already here, at least within the context of the United States. We produce domestically, without even considering trade, like triple the basic necessities needed to support our population. And that's not raw GDP or anything, that's actual, physically-existing, ready-for-use goods and services that people need to live and aren't getting enough of. We just don't actually give any kind of a poo poo for distributing it effectively. One in five americans has to skip meals to make ends meet while more than half of domestic food production goes to waste. But man, if you want to let your cubicle neighbors know which corporate IPs your identity is conflated with, we've got that poo poo on lockdown.
