"don't go grocery shopping when hungry" doesn't work for me because Not Hungry Me cannot conceive of a universe in which food is needed so she buys like a cup of pomegranate seeds and some fancy cheese and thinks that'll get us through the week.

twofingerswhiskey

FUN FACT the scientist who said that made it the fuck up! he's also the same dude who said that if kids made eye contact with the character on food boxes they wanted it more. so now all the cereal mascots/kids mascots look downwards to a child height. but THEY MADE IT UP and it's allllllll bullshit and bad science to the point cornell deleted the fuckin cereal eyes study from the face of the earth and modern research is saying you SHOULD shop when ur hungry because it makes you put more value on food that would give you more nutrition and actually sharpens your ability to feed yourself well

squidcrimes

So I think the cereal box guy was Brian Wansink and honestly that tracks. If Wansink thinks we should be grocery shopping when full then we should definitely be doing it when hungry. Bruh is an absolute joke.

THAT'S THE BASTARD

twofingerswhiskey

IT'S HIM

imagine being so bad at science that your university forces you to stop

things he also came up with that are BULLSHIT:

• eating around fat people makes you eat more junk food??? (wtf?)
• portion sizes affecting how hungry you feel
• "if you are served second portions you are more likely to take seconds"
• the entire concept of mini and fun-sized portion sizes (based in fatphobia btw!)
• the idea of boredom eating and stress eating being bad for you and not normal
• the idea of eating in front of a screen being terrible for your digestion
• that julia child's cooking was trying to make you fat (based on 18 of 4500 recipes...)
• the idea of western food being unhealthy
• the cereal eyes thing
• the shopping while hungry thing
• and much much more!

also he committed kickstarter fraud in 2018 and is a massive fatphobe who thinks fat people recruit others to become fat by just existing. fuck him lmao

genderkoolaid

Here's a few articles by Stephanie M. Lee about Wansink's multiple p-hacking scandals. Initially I just found these looking for more information but now I'm also extremely amused by how much she was on this guy's ass for his shitty science.

Maintenance Phase also did an episode on this guy

When you first learn about Brian Wansink, he's an extremely funny example of a BAD scientist.

When you think longer about Brian Wansink, the fact that he got so much media attention and many people know his lies but not the retractions, the fact that he was able to spread flagrant fatphobia with hardly any pushback for so long and the fact that there were policies based on his bullshit, is horrifying.

Trying to sell handmade crafts in this economy is so. Like. Hey guys I know we're all broke as fuck but do you want my silly little things. I'm very good at it. For the time it takes to make them + skill + materials it's gonna be 30$ per silly little thing. But also shipping costs 12$ for reasons outside my control so it's actually 42$ now. Sorry. No I really can't charge less than that. Yeah I know. Ok. Bye

tlirsgender

And this is for my things that are silly and little. I'm not even one of those people making, like, quilts and blankets and shit. Can we pour one out for the fiber artists making quilts and blankets and shit

tlirsgender

I'm presenting a tiny crocheted bird to you. Putting it into the palm of your hand. This can be yours. For what seems like too much money but I promise it isn't. We've all just really lost sight of fiber arts' value with industrialization and outsourced sweatshop labor etc. This is actually the minimum I could ask for without fucking myself. I don't like what this implies about mass produced items either. It's really horrific. You can get an ethically sourced 42$ tiny crocheted bird though

tlirsgender

Shortly after posting this I received an order for nearly 200$ worth of tiny crocheted birds this is the good luck post for people actually paying for your handmade crafts

You’re right and you should say it

This came as a result of Light Novel publishers believing that people don't read the blurbs on the back of the books. So their answer to this was to.... make the blurb the title.

Despite this, however, Light novels with overly long titles have very rarely topped in the best sellers, as the books that sell still tend to sell the best are ones with more traditional short titles.

So of course this trend has no bled over into manga as well because if something bullshit insane marketing scheme is proven to have no real effect other than to confuse and frustrate its consumer you gotta spread that shit to EVERYTHING.

darthmaulscatgirl

i refuse to believe that image is a title

i cannot read it but it looks like a whole paragraph

thefloatingstone

Oh this is just the first page.

This Light novel is 196 pages long except it's literally just the title.

This is modern art.
