Quit ordering the avocado toast.

I always think it’s funny how millennials got shit for avocado toast, yet it was my boomer parents who introduced it to me.

when I was a boy (GenX), avocados were so cheap, they almost gave them away

my mom complained one time when they were 25c

one of my friends that grew up in California had a tree in his back yard and he never purchased one until he moved to Washington State in his 20s

The fact that it became a target for attacking millennials is so crazy. That people took it seriously for a bit is laughable. To this day my wife and I make jokes that it costs a new mortgage to have one.

My brother worked at an avocado packing plant and he would bring me a BOX of ripe avocados that were too ripe to send to market.

We had to eat those NOW. All the FREE avocados I can eat. Good times.

We had an avocado tree in the backyard growing up. It was so large that it hung quite a ways over the roof, which had terracotta shingles.

If we didn’t pull the ripe avocados off the tree it would sound like a small bomb going off every time one dropped and hit the roof, which usually happened early in the morning for some reason.

I am also Generation X.

I come from Australia.

Australia went from being a really easy country to live in where everything was just super cheap, to being one of the most expensive countries in the world where real estate is just out of reach for anyone, and particularly the young people.

That avocado meme came from an Australian politician who tried to shame young people and tell them that if they would just stop eating their smashed avo breakfast that they could afford a mortgage.

This is maybe 10 or 15 years ago. I can’t remember exactly.

This was the time when the shift went from Australia being relatively cheap to becoming crazy expensive, and it was quite insightful of him to do that, but also an asshole move to try and shame the young people.

Somehow it has gained traction and become a worldwide thing, but that is the history of it.

Some asshole politician telling young people if they would just stop having a little bit of nice time for themselves every now and then they could afford a mortgage, which was absolutely rubbish. Not true at all, and it’s gotten even worse since.

the origin of the meme, was also from a rich milleneal too that was already a millionaire, not the plebs.

they've really gotta stop offering avocado toast at the company cafeteria. That'll make up the difference.

That’ll make up the difference.

Now that you bring this up…

Yes, I think you could have found the solution, indeed. Quick, tell them! The world is saved!!

one of his soon to be defunct datacenters.

Why do you sound like the House of El?

It’s an LLM adbot, or, at best, someone having LLM craft all of their comments and posts.

The accounts profile heavily advertises services for LLM adbots covertly advertising to people using social media.

Search is garbage now, but I’d bet even money he is lifting text directly from House of El–or they have a common source.

I’ve felt for a while that House of El uses LLMs heavily in their scripts. It’s a pandemic on YouTube feels like.
So yeah, the common source is likely clanker speak.

Who could have known this would happen?

And even the fifty billions may be inflated, as it is “annualized” revenue which can mean “we took a period of peak usage and generalized it to a year”

Didn’t Anthropic calculate it based on the best day and multiplying by 365?

If I reported my income this way it would be fraud (and I would also “make” over 200k).

1. They are not reporting their income, but AAR apparently
2. Yes, this is a scam.

I didn’t wanna claim it when I wasn’t sure of the source but yeah that’s what I remember too

I mean, it’s not a rounding error, but going from 4.5 billion to 80 billion is not shabby either

Same thing just happened with Anthropics numbers. Billions short of their stated numbers.

Its a trillion dollar game of musical chairs with roughly 8.3 billion people playing and only a few thousand chairs.

That’s just life you’re describing. Life in capitalism, that is.

You gotta admit though the tempo of the music is getting pretty fast these days.

Miiiighty fast. And if you aren’t born with your name on one of the chairs, you’re not even in the game.

Nah, far from everyone wants to be a trillionaire, nor a billionaire. Sure most would want financial independence, but not a lot more than that

Ahh but you are falling into a common fallacy, you probably think that because there is enough money to go around everyone should have a enough to meet their needs, then the excess can be an incentive for people who make outsized contributions to society, like a not sociopathic member of the human race.

The bloodsucking leech class view the existence of other people with needs as a personal insult. They feel every cent of money should be theirs personally, or as a barely acceptable compromise maybe shared around an “elite” class.

If Bezos for instance could have all the money and just issue Amazon Bucks™ based on how useful you are to him he would love that.

Honestly the reason we know Elon isn’t a real gamer is that he doesn’t have a bunch of four “agents” in trenchcoats with neuralinks and miniguns running around cities as he directs them to from an airship overhead. Otherwise that game would be as close to a masturbatory fantasy as someone who can’t get hard after all the Special K would get.

It’s just revenue, not profit. Don’t worry.

This account reeks of clanker. Are people just okay with that or am I missing something?

Don’t have the energy to look into the account itself, but this comment does have that “it’s not just x it’s y” stank. It’s everywhere nowadays, it’s fucking exhausting.
In blog posts, in news articles, YouTube videos and now in fucking lemmy comments. Disgusting.

Sigh. This comment reeks of AI slop
