For context, I tend to use the "all local and federated communities" view, especially on my Lemmy.ml account. I like to see what's going on with the broader Lemmy network, especially on my not-Lemmygrad "normie" account. Just now I noticed that there are now plenty of Hexbear posts when viewed from Lemmy.ml, whereas previously it had been pretty much all .world posts all the time. Hexbear is starting to actually displace .world on the other instances' federated networks!
I got one:
Will flavored lube exist under communism or is it too decadent/bourgeois?
The lube will be flavoured naturally, through usage
But I would think so, in some form - it's not difficult to order a small amount of flavouring chemicals and mix it in
Obviously it's hard to justify flavoured lube when anyone is unhoused, starving and lacking a dignified material existence
I can struggle session on this; socialism is when you don't have stuff. Water mixed with a little glicerin and carageenan is bourgeis decadence. No one should enjoy sex or alleviate vaginal dryness until after the revolution!
The struggle session wouldn’t be about lube itself, though. Just the flavored varieties. Would simple flavors be bourgeois decadence, like orange, apple, fruit punch, mint, etc? What about more complex flavors, like “vanilla matcha strawberry cream”?
artisans and craftspeoples will always exist, therefore there will always be flavored lubesmiths
That doesn't sound decadent that just sounds gross. What about vanilla hazelnut cinammon warming lube, with armomatics that fill the room when it warms up and vitamin e for skin health?that sounds pretty decadent to me.
This is probably the most bourgeois flavored lube anyone in history has ever conceived.
Well we're going to have to produce it, then, and subject it to empirical observation to see how bougie it is. If it starts off slow, maybe dabbling in penny stocks after work, we can proceed cautiously but if it buys a controlling interest in exxon we have to shut the project down immediately.
Only if it is banana flavored
