Phone tree hold music/quality of cell phone voice audio in general? Worse, I swear. I think by saving .0005% extra bandwidth by reducing the call quality to the human threshold for understanding something such as speech, they save $1 at the end of the year.

Oh! I've got one! Calling Pizza Hut. Not the food itself, which is pretty ok, but calling the store. So you get to Pizza Hut and pull in the curbside spot. You call the restaurant. Instead of just picking up the phone, it routes to a call center in India and you talk to the guy (amid terrible call quality) who then has to relay to the store that you are waiting outside. Like what the gently caress. The guy never has any idea what is going on, either. And other companies do this, too. All to save on labor. :grindsmygears:

Last one: YouTube serving 5 minute anti-trans political ads, disguised as pro-trans ads. Or Prager videos, with seemingly no way to opt out. Just... despicable. Makes me want to burn down a pizza hut.

Speaking of Amazon, they have some kind of new shipping boxes which are terrible. The boxes are bad and I suspect they were crafted by evil wizards. The pull tabs only work sometimes and your box will arrive smashed, but smashed in new and interesting ways. Exciting! I ordered some cat treats last week. The big 30oz tub, which is already super prone to popping open. When I opened the box, it was full of small, biting ants, which swarmed and bit me, all over. B-, Amazon.

Yeah this Twitter thing today I think is some kind of Camel-breaking back straw. I quit Twitter when Musk took over, but I click links and watch embeds sometimes. I really hope this inspires a backlash and/or accelerates the burning to the ground.

I bought a box of bomb pop popsicles. Now maybe it's because it's a fancy flavor (sour patch kids maybe?) and they are a disappointment. Kind of soft and mushy and not the icy treats I craved. Now, I don't despise them, but I do see this as part of the overall process of sherbetification this thread was made for.

StrangersInTheNight posted:sour patch products outside of the original candy are also universally known to be terrible. But I see it as part of an overall problem where a food product gets softer and shittier over time. Like sour punch straws and shark bites (and nearly all fruit snacks for that matter). Not just shrinkflated. Don't baby me, Big Candy. Give it to me hard and chewy. Also put tangy taffy back on the market, with those weird sugar crystals.

There's a lot that's gotten shittier with cell phones. Specifically, my phone, a Pixel 5, is now poo poo. A year ago it was fine and the battery was still pretty decent. Then, they keep pushing these updates and suddenly, within a few months, the battery is poo poo and I am lucky if it will boot. This phone was like $500. Why can't it just still work? It's just so hosed up to me. I don't even know if this is something they do intentionally, but I do seem to get the same mysterious phone affliction about 3 years into owning it. I hate everything. I'm going to switch to a Jitterbug.

They have been lovely forever, but YouTube ads are so Nazified it's sickening. Better reach for that remote, otherwise you're in for 5 minutes of pure transphobe bullshit. Just burn it all down imo

loving Walmart grocery pick-up. It was fine enough at the edge of the parking lot, but now at most of our local stores the pick-up area is now DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE STORE. So cars come and go and it clogs up the lot, which also makes it way less safe for pedestrians. And it seems to take longer, somehow. God I'm so mad lol. I should be at Burger King and then eating weed edibles, not waiting an extra hour in this hellish corral.

I looked down and this pop-up appeared on my phone. I don't really know what it means, but I know it's about to make my battery even shittier! Thanks Google

X-ray is a handy feature in the Prime streaming app, isn't it? You can see all the actors and you don't even have to scroll or nothin' This is what it looks like now. 50% of usable space occupied by ads lol

I've had a problem with YouTube Bluetooth audio being skippy and bad the last 2 days. Over earbuds, specifically .I figured it was some kind of bad network setting. Good to know!

This was touched on last week, but I am so loving sick of trying to use the YouTube app on our lovely TCL TV and stream the audio via Bluetooth to the lovely Roku phone app. I don't even know which is the faulty link in this chain of poo poo, I just know it sounds like a robot is trying to gently caress my ear. And I am not here for it. It wasn't like this a month ago. Thanks for reading my rant. Like, comment and subscribe for more hot eats & cool treats.

They changed something. Quick!--go check in the mirror to see if you have any extra organs. Enshittification knows no bounds.

JediTalentAgent posted:Is it just me or do Dollar General stores all get worse and worse looking in almost instantanous short order? The john Oliver from last week about dollar stores was honestly eye opening. Really crazy poo poo, like it is sometimes a constant nightmare warzone in these places.

I had that happen with one of those cameras once and just filed it away in the "things that did not happen" folder in my head. I think we threw it away in our last move (maybe I hope.) Out there somewhere is like terabytes of a fat lesbian and a skinny lesbian watching TV nude/fighting on a couch. You gotta put a lens cap on that poo poo, wrap it up kids and none of that Alibaba In the Bedroom

Lobster Mobster sounds like the ghostiest of ghost kitchens. There's no way that's an actual restaurant. $40 for a cup of bagged soup from Red Lobster imo edit: wait that's not the restaurant name. But still could be ghost kitchens, some might say.
