Ooh I actually know this one! That’s the logo for Tushy, a company that makes bidet attachments. I bought one in 2020 and this book comes in the box with it. Honestly one of the best purchases I ever made lol

I noticed that lots of companies call margarine “vegan butter” or similar lately

grandma , in Cloudstrike's stock price waiting for the markets to open

Damn it went up

Kecessa ,

It dropped 15% premarket and then went up a bit on open as regular folks tried to jump on the opportunity, a bunch of rich people made money and people like you and me are left holding the bag.

grandma ,

This type of shit is why I don’t actively trade (also the stress)

Kecessa ,

100% broad market for me at the moment, still have a bit to buy before diversifying into… Index funds!

KevonLooney ,

Why would you think “rich people made money”? They already hold the shares and would be trying to sell. It would be impossible to sell any large amount of shares after hours directly after a huge negative issue. If you could sell (say $1 million worth), it would be at a much lower price.

That’s probably why the price dropped. The market doesn’t actually react to news, it reacts to investors buying and selling. If the price went down that means people with lots of shares are trying to get out.

Kecessa ,

They bought the dip because they trade premarket then they sold to a bunch of retail investors trying to jump on the ship when the market opened, a story as old as after and pre market has existed.

I’d honestly like to hear your response to that person’s comment here: lemm.ee/comment/13412452

They replied with their rebuttal to this comment to me and not to you, apparently because I admitted you know more than me, which is a frankly bizarre chain of logic that makes no sense to me. Apparently they know everything about what’s going on inside our minds and they can therefore make all sorts of judgements about who is worth replying to, but I’m more interested in the actual facts.

“Rich people made money” is a given under capitalism, it’s just a question of how.

In this case it’s called disaster capitalism. Any disaster or crisis, no matter how small, creates an imbalance and flow of resources, and capitalism is set up to funnel that flow to the already wealthy.

As to the details of the specific case, the other answer you got seems to know more than me about it.

KevonLooney ,

You are using big words to try to sound smart, without understanding the specific details of the situation. There’s more than one group of “rich people” trading in the early market. Some are buying and others are selling. They are just moving money back and forth within the same “class” (as you understand it).

The other guy is wrong because in a situation like this there are very few buyers in the early market. He focuses only on the “rich” buyers and ignores the larger group of “rich” sellers trying to get rid of their shares. It’s much more likely that most “rich” sellers waited until the market opened because they didn’t want to sell while it was thinly traded.

So if you care about “classes”, the “rich” generally lost money because the company they already own went down in value. Maybe a few people bought at the bottom and sold when it went higher, but that was neither a large percent of “rich” investors nor a guaranteed return.

I’m explaining it to you because the other comment has a low level understanding of the specifics, while you admit you don’t understand. It’s more dangerous to think you understand something than to know your limits. I can trade in early / late markets but don’t because they have no one else there. The market has few other participants and that makes it too choppy.

I use my words to communicate my thoughts the best I can. If you think you can read my mind and tell me otherwise then I believe you don’t understand how reality works on a very basic level and thus your assessment of reality is worth very little to me.

If you want to teach me something you can prove it by linking me something verifiable. I’m not trusting the word of someone who thinks they’re psychic.

I don’t hold out hope for your reply, sorry to say. You went on the offensive so fast and I’m not being terribly friendly about it, so I doubt you’ll change course.

Kecessa , (edited )

The rich who were selling at the time wouldn’t have sold at a loss (they would be those who bought while the price was even lower at another point in time, which could have been this year since in January or was trading at about 250 and it dropped to about 290 due to this week’s events), other rich people bought the dip and sold the same day to day traders trying to make a quick buck.

Fun fact: if you stretch a horse so it’s roughly 3 times longer, you get a not so alive horse that’s also 3 times longer than normal.

Kusimulkku , in Skub

I don’t understand how someone can be anti-skub

Tar_alcaran ,

I know right? What kind of monster wouldn’t just not-want skub but be anti-skub?!

flicker ,

Seriously. I don’t want skub either but fuckin let people enjoy things.

DJDarren ,

Fuck skub and the horse it rode in on.

saltesc ,

Classic pro-skubber. Always blindly supporting skub with no fucking clue.

DJDarren ,

Makes me sick tbh.

gmtom ,

Typically brainwashed scubber

pyre ,

i can look at that shit and know I’m 100% against it.

abbadon420 , in Kids and their computers these days.

Imagine having to extend you car with plates at the top, because there is not enough room for you psychotic scribbles. Then leaving a shit ton of white space at the bottom.

YungOnions ,

Probably the computers fault.

Waraugh ,

You can’t write at or below the fuel fill line, are you psychotic?!

I’m surprised nobody thought of the demoscene twisters

Fallofturkey ,
@Fallofturkey@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, such a cheese-fest of a song. Can’t help but jokingly sing along with it in the most obnoxious voice possible when it’s on.

superweeniehutjrs ,

I can’t stand his voice in any song. I turn off my radio when he comes on.

bitwaba ,

I did the same for Gotye - Somebody that I used to know. I thought it was such a frustratingly terrible song, I couldn’t help but mock it when it came on. I genuinely thought I was living in a world full of people lying when I’d be at a party and others would say they loved it. For like 2 years I was just like “you’re kidding right?”

Fallofturkey ,
@Fallofturkey@lemmy.world avatar

Same here with that song too, I come up with something random at the “didn’t have to…” part and belt out something equally cheesy

PsychedSy ,

Kimbra is a fantastic artist and the song exists only as a vehicle for her voice.

Drusas , in What song would cause you to do this to yourself ?

Shake it Off by Taylor Swift

I don't know the name of it, but the one that goes "it's all about that bass, no treble".

These were both extremely popular at the same time at a point when I was frequently going to the gym. If I spent 90 minutes at the gym, I would hear both of these songs three times. I absolutely cannot stand them. I disliked the second one from the beginning and didn't care for the first, and then I heard each of them dozens and dozens of times over just a couple of months.

richard3030 ,

All about that bass, by Meghan Trainor. Really did get played to death in popular media.

Drusas ,

It was so awful. A repetitive song...played over and over.

new_guy ,

In the same vein of being played to the death: Pharrell Williams.

nightofmichelinstars ,

You reminded me about that one Green Day song that played on the radio every ten minutes throughout my entire childhood. Boulevard of Broken Dreams. To this day I cannot listen to any Green Day song.

Drusas ,

Oh yeah. It's a shame about that song. It was a good song.

PsychedSy ,

Have you ever tried Dookie?

dditty ,

These are the same ones for me too. Also Thunder and Believer by Imagine Dragons, and We Are Young by fun.

boatsnhos931 , in Kids and their computers these days.

If nothing else, they are determined and I FUCKING LOVE IT

frickineh , in Kids and their computers these days.

This truck is on to something. I asked my dog if she put a nano chip on my body and she said no, but it sounds like something the huskies next door would do.

Etterra ,

I’m afraid your dog has lied to you. We had a pretty husky back when I was a kid, before she became a farmer, and I can confirm that Huskies are incredibly stupid. Your dog wants to use the Huskies as Patsy’s for their own nefariousness.

frickineh ,

Honestly, sounds like my dog. She would throw pretty much any other dog under the bus, especially the ones with the gall to approach her fence.
