example from wikipedia:
Not to be confused with the Reddit “cumbox.”
Or a coconut!
Wow, I’d forgotten about that. Didn’t he try to burn it in the end 🤢
Yes, but it kept fizzling out because it was so damp.
I think the word you were looking for is
moist.
Or the cumboxers.
Definitely based on that gem though.
These kinds of ads are the ones that drive people to ad blockers.
If advertisers only understood that many of us are okay with limited, non-intrusive advertisements. This kind of garbage only guarantees that I will never ever ever use that product or service, oftentimes out of spite.
I remember first looking for an adblocker specifically just for obnoxious animated ads, but og AdBlock blocked all the ads and I never looked back from there. If ad makers could’ve just restrained themselves I might’ve never gone looking for an adblocker.
Yes. Unfortunately each advertiser thinks they can make a little more money if they go a little farther.
It’s like the tragedy of the commons (which might have an ahistorical root but nevermind that) where a bunch of people acting in “rational self interest” ruin the thing for everyone.
I specifically remember the style of ad that made me get an adblocker. In the olden days on the og minecraft forum, they had an autoplaying video ad at the bottom of the page. Every single post you clicked on, or new tab you opened, you had to scroll all the way down to mute the stupid fucking ad!
I honestly hate seeing ads for things that are already ubiquitous to basically living in modern society. Does anyone really need to be reminded that Coke exists every 30 seconds?
But what if it’s purple flavored Coke? We’ve got to know!
I looked it up from this post: https://lemmy.ca/post/31111352
Bad news: That Jagmeet death hoax was just the tip of the chum-berg
That’s an incredible headline
Chum-berg is a great coining.
IE: Buzzfeed.
Filthy Frank had a few words about people that consume Buzzfeed content
taboola :/
