I’m in the market for a honing guide for chisels and plane irons. I bought a cheap one, and the little feature it has to grip the sides of chisels wasn’t big enough for my chisel to fit in it.
I found a model I thought I liked on Amazon, but there was no spec on the thickness of chisel it could grip. I asked a question, “How thick of a chisel does this hold? NOT the width, the THICKNESS” Two answers, 1. “i dont know” and 2. 1/8" - 2 1/4" (which was the numbers for the chisel WIDTH spec’d in the ad.)
When someone asks a question like that, it doesn’t seem to go to the seller, it goes to other customers. People get a question in their email. And a lot of them are shitheels who will dutifully answer “I don’t know.” Or they have the reading comprehension skills of the average hagfish.
I don’t think the users are the problem in the image though; I think it’s the seller’s fault.
Amazon has a feature where you can list for sale different permutations of the same item. Say you sell anal lube in 1 oz, 2.5 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz and 55 gallon packages, instead of creating an independent listing for each, you can have one listing with 5 variants. These can have different pictures or descriptions so customers can see and read about the differences, but it’s supposed to be broadly the same product so they share a question and review section.
If the seller is too ignorant or apathetic, they’ll list completely unrelated products under the same listing as different variants. There may be a theme, like “grooming supplies” so they’ll have a hair dryer, a beard trimmer, an electric toothbrush and a rectum bleacher listed as variants of the same product. Or it’ll just be whatever was on the truck from Shenzhen this week, hence the purchaser of a dash cam getting a question about an air filter.
Don’t forget the rectum bleacher! You’ve gotta whiten up all your pearly bits when grooming personally with these here personal grooming products! From teeth whiteners to skin toners, nipple brighteners and our ever-popular melanin relaxers, they’re all conveniently listed in this one incredibly inconvenient list! No matter which parts of your body, which orifices, which end of your digestive tract you reeeally want to whiten up: Lighten Up, We’ve Got You (Un)Covered!®

55 gallons of anal lube?
Can be yours for the low, low price of one thousand, nine hundred fifty-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents, which works out to be $0.28 per fluid ounce. Pack of 1. Only one in stock, order soon.
Only 55 gallons!!, how am I supposed to fill my pool with that little lube!
Makes me want to post in some Ask Lemmy community.
“Perverts of Lemmy, have any of you actually bought an industrial drum of sex gel on Amazon? How did it go?”
Some people need a LOT of lube.
