It's incredibly ironic that ChatGPT constantly asks me to verify that I'm not a bot
Literally every single time I try open their app, I get asked to click the button again to verify that I am indeed human....
Corporate astroturfing is the norm
Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote “watch and movies that you love”. It’s always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything...

When you have to use multiple browsers because one place doesn't work (kbin.social)
I use ProtonMail as my primary e-mail client. For some reason, I cannot get to ProtonMail to verify an e-mail that I used to register elsewhere. I keep getting the hourglass on Firefox. So I go a try Chrome and it's the same deal....
Nature Valley: 10 bars in 5 packs (lemmy.world)
I was in a rush and I needed to pick up a quick snack that I could eat during class. I chose these Nature Valley bars which said they had ten bars inside. What I failed to notice is the tiny print at the bottom where it says 5 x 2, i.e., 5 packets with two bars....

I bought a car with a bad engine
A year ago I bought my wife a Mazda CX-5 diesel and paid 10K for it. Now I found out that it has an engine defect that will be extremely expensive to repair, so the car is a write-off, at best I can get 2K back.

Grocery stores promoting gas discounts are not helping the transition away from gas vehicles
Large grocery stores around here offer cheaper gas if you shop at there store. This can be up to a dollar a gallon off.
Imagine that…
Most patients predicted that their worst symptoms when exposed to gluten would be classic lower digestive problems like diarrhea, bloating and cramps. However, none of these occurred during the acute immune responses observed by Anderson’s team. Instead, patients experienced nausea and vomiting. Anderson describes them as,...
The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane. (lemmy.world)

What is Reddit doing (feddit.nl)
I don’t use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn’t find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.
Astounding absurdity
None of what follows is new. I know this stuff happens all the time. And yet somehow this insignificant thing shocked me and it’s been gnawing at me for the past few days. And today was the icing on the shit cake....
2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Actual size is supposed to be 1.5 (kbin.run)
I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you'd think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

Has anyone here noticed how reddit has gotten more racist against Indians in the last few months (lemmy.world)
It’s something I’ve seen slowly starting to emerge over the course of the last year or so. Maybe even longer. There’s accounts that post stories to designed to shock people into thinking India is a terrible place. Like I get it. India does have issues. And it does have issues with sexual violence as well. But its a shame...
