This is a challenge I am posing to the community . Prove to me that there is something worse than this. I can't imagine what it is but I feel like I have to know.

    The fake $20 bills that include a Bible verse so that protestants don't have to tip their server who makes $2/hr.

    Things started to go downhill once fortune cookies offered a second fortune if you went on their website. No, one time only, one fortune. Uphold the chinese dinner tradition.

    This probably isn’t as bad, but there’s an app I allow my toddler to play every once in a while that prevents them from accidentally going to other apps or making calls. Well, except one app. There’s a special tree in the game’s overworld that lights up with sparkles that takes you to the app store.

      Basically they keep hitting rock bottom, but through sheer force of Capitalist Innovation, they find a way to dig deeper.

    Proprietary chemicals added to food that make you think and dream about products. The FDA won’t require any company to disclose it.

    All the weird types of insurance you can get in South Africa. From niche exotic pet insurance, to travel insurance for both internal travel to high crime areas and external travel, to cybersecurity insurance, to e-hailing insurance for Uber employees. You can insure any possible asset or activity in this country, including taking out multiple insurance plans on yourself from disability insurance to dental insurance.

    I actually had a fortune cookie with my mom the other day and we were talking about the time she got a fortune that just said 'you are a very unhappy man'.

    We still laugh about it. This was some time in the mid 90s. They don't make hater fortunes anymore 😢

    During a NHL playoff game there was a “bet responsibly” awareness ad… made by a betting company sponsor of the NHL… which was just an ad for their betting app that you can set time limits on. Truly dystopian shit
