It was on that one show, right?

I've pondered frozen hot dogs. You can get a pack of 36 and whip'em from your car into recipients' homes and driveways. If you don't actually break anything you minimize how much anyone else will care, and you might force them to decide whether to whine to the cops/courts about vandal hot dogs or just relish their new reality.

My wife and I had to struggle to remember the word "hook" in the context of "the phone is off the hook".

That is much more reasonable, one of a couple possibilities I'm now seeing.

So many of these parents seem to handwave responsibility from fictional scenarios.

Do appreciate the classic “yOu MuSt NoT hAvE kIDs” response to literally any form of parental criticism though.

"But I learned it from you!" 😭

Awkward to say...but you can be an armchair parent even if you have kids :|

This could be. I mentioned in another reply, I did assume I'd only see local currency prices. Seeing 3+ responses questioning the currency makes me think that's a likely explanation.

Well...I didn't consider that. I tried to find the ad again but couldn't make the same one appear. I did get a different Amazon ad which I clicked through and confirmed its price was in USD. I did assume I'd only see ads with prices in local currency but that could be a bad assumption.

Hello Armchair Parent! And welcome.

Plenty of actual parents relate to dropping whatever they're doing to find out why kids 1 and 2 are screaming in another room (argument, saw a spider, "play" screaming, who knows). That gives an eternity of time to a mischievous 2yo kid #3 to grab the shiny toy so carelessly dropped without being locked GASP! and then tap not just twice but >100 times.

Factor in a parent being a normie mobile user whose browser already has permission to open Amazon links in their Amazon app, and then it's only a matter of the 2yo clicking big cartoony button "Buy Now" and then big cartoony button "Place Order" but hey what are the chances of that :P

Now Ditch Mitch is less a campaign slogan and more a nickname

I don't claim to know where the line is, and the following may not be enough of a difference.

But your words in the mod log are different. The "okay with" in your comment above wasn't in the removed comment.

"Being okay with bad thing" is at least a little more nuanced than "Bad thing must happen"

Also my first thought! I wanted to do that with a deck once but that's a little unwiser.

"Fee speech" is a serendipitous typo. Or maybe you meant it. First I've heard it, anyway.

Got his milkshake drunk

First glance at the thumbnail made me think I was looking at an old pickup truck with a desert camouflage blanket over it.

I can't claim to know what all this feels like to trans people, but Andy Beshear is not your enemy.

I say as an atheist - if all religious people shared Andy Beshear's flavor of god delusion, the world would be a better place.

This doesn't meet the bar you want, but my marketing professor called the .99 idea the single greatest thing to come out of marketing in a century.

Speaking of driving, that could be a protest measure. Super simple, super legal. Just obey all traffic laws, stay to the right, AND always drive 5 below the speed limit.

Sure it could elicit gunfire, vehicular assault, stalking. But the rear view mirror theater will be to die for.

Some women would be harmed by their husbands if discovered voting blue. I think those women feel a ringing in their souls when they watch that ad. Neut is grasping for any spin at all "ghwuaaahhh dishonesty!". If he was aware of the women who'd wear their husbands' reactions on their faces, he'd never admit it. But I guarantee the mere concept of sparking spousal abuse hasn't even occurred to him, that he's not seeing past the "dishonesty" part.

It's like waving salami in your derpy blind dog's face but he bites air 90 degrees in the wrong direction. Shit you'd think his smeller's busted too. How the fuck he manages to use the bathroom without tracking his own shit through the house is a fukkn X-file.
