Different species generally don't mix well genetically...

What????

Next you'll tell me animals can't speak or buy overpriced coffee?

I'm so sorry to be the one breaking this to you...

Dear god...

they're only in it for the pleasure, not for reproduction

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Well yes, but that's on account of the very definition of species. If two individuals can make viable, fertile offspring, they're the same species.

I love Litterbox! But I hate ads. Sad that corporate consumption needs to infiltrate nice things for authors to survive.

Edit: it's not even an ad, it's worse! That chain of cafés is just a cultural norm now. That's depressing.

Do you think they were paid for mentioning spiderman?

[–] thedarkfly 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

No, it's the coffee brand they're drinking.

[–] ReasonablePea@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mean it's an octopus instead of the mermaid, idk I'd give them the benefit of the doubt

[–] thedarkfly -1 points 4 months ago

Ah, true that. It's not an ad then and that's even worse... Are corporations that engrained into people's minds that when they think of drinking a coffee in a café, it's necessarily that brand? Their marketing dept did their job well.

[–] hmmm@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I didn't even notice that.

[–] thedarkfly 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I was thinking about that. I guess the objective of brands is to be so normalized that people don't even think about it. Of course they're driking coffee at that place. Of course you'll go there to chit-chat with your friend. Going somewhere else doesn't even cross one's mind.

I've decided to interpret it as sub text where the autor is showing us how these corporations are akin to eldritch beings in their disregard for human rules.
