I think this meme has the images backwards… He should be taking off the rose-tinted glasses, not putting them on.

(Yes I know they’re sunglasses and not rose-tinted)

xia OP ,

In John Carpenter’s 1988 film They Live, Hoffman lenses are depicted as special sunglasses that allow the wearer to see hidden messages and the true nature of their environment. When the protagonist, Nada, puts on these glasses, he can perceive the concealed presence of aliens and view subliminal messages such as “OBEY” and “CONSUME,” which are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. The lenses serve as a symbolic tool for revealing the film’s critique of consumerism and social control.

Xia already gave you the quoted explanation for why you’re wrong, but everyone should watch the movie They Live, at least once. It’s a riot of a movie.

Fun fact: the Southpark episode “cripple fight” with that long ass fight between Timmy and Jimmy, their fight scene is a near blow for blow reenactment of a fight scene in They Live, between Rowdy Roddy Piper and Keith David.

Did something change in advertising law in the US in the last few years? I feel like ive been seeing this specific phrase in advertising more and more lately.

I don’t think anything changed. This isn’t a false statement depending on the product. As long as there’s some single rare scenario where it could be 100% effective, they’re not lying. Really it’s just to make you feel a certain way even if the sentence doesn’t actually say anything at all.

Nothing in human history has ever been 100% effective

I knew you were a hexbear user because:
a. you used an inline image in your comment
b. you used that image

What the heck is it, what’s the origin, and what is it supposed to mean? Looks like some Philips CD-i game.

  • it is “morshupls”
  • Morshu is a shopkeeper character from Link: The Faces of Evil
  • It’s generally used to convey someone giving an overly verbose and possibly asinine explanation “Morshu Explains” see also :pronouns:

It’s usually used to convey elaborate bullshittery, but here’s the original CDi game clip.

xia OP ,

ELI5: “Up to 100” means “<=100”. So 0% still falls in that range. Could even be negative (counter-productive).

At least you know it will never over-work. (What ever does?)

xia OP ,

I guess if it over-performs you could always return it as defective.

nondescripthandle ,

As long as you have the ability to speak, the phrase ‘Im up to 100% dead’ will be true.

That’s XCOM, baby!

“up to 100% effective” just means it’s almost guaranteed not to be 100% effective except by accident in very rare cases lol
