idk if it’s just me but i’m glad that the majority of people outside of here believe tumblr is a dead site because like i’ve been here for 13 years and like this is my house??? i don’t need thousands upon thousands of people flocking here it’d be like inviting chimps to a house party total fucking carnage

“people keep saying this house is haunted but ive been here for 200 years and havent seen a ghost!”

Labubus are blind bags but they’re also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn’t get the thing you wanted.

There’s also a shake feature that is designed to encourage you to buy more than one by narrowing down the possibility space on a crate of options so that if you’re hunting a specific model you can verify that it’s guaranteed to be in one of these three IF you buy all three right now!!!!!

You can read more about what dark patterns are and how to spot them here.

Deceptive Patterns (aka Dark Patterns) - spreading awareness since 2010

That is a fucking awesome site everyone should visit. Don’t skip the Hall of Shame.

I just thought of this post, which was actually how I learned what Dark Patterns are, because I tried to cancel my Adobe Acrobat subscription, and it took much longer than I anticipated because several times throughout the process it felt like it was intentionally trying to trick me into thinking I’d cancelled my subscription when I actually hadn’t yet.

Please read up on Dark Patterns and learn how to recognize them.

We can do this

it will literally get ripped apart

It literally will not, trust me

the thing that will have to be planned for is both tectonic movement and the expansion and contraction of the bridge sections. That is why this bridge will need to have a bunch of ramps and gaps between sections that every vehicle going across will get to do sick jumps off of.

This will also prevent traffic from slowing down. “minimum speed to make next jump: 120 km/h” signs will encourage everyone to go fast, even if the engineers are being a little conservative for safety reasons.

it will work because we are pure of heart
