[From WEEB Corporation, the industry leader in melee weapons and cosplay supply]
Please keep all magical weapons pointed in a safe direction and out of the reach of children.
Step 1:
Using aseptic technique, load the hilt chamber with concentrated liquid MDMA. Remember to wear gloves during this process!
Step 2:
While the product is still sheathed, activate the EDM Knife’s special powers by performing the PLUR hand signs as if you were casting a Naruto jutsu.
The knife will begin emitting lights and a sick beat as soon as you draw it. This indicates that the weapon will now inflict a status ailment.
Step 3:
Proceed to stab and/or slash your opponent(s). If you followed Steps 1 and 2 correctly, your wounded enemies will soon be rolling too hard to continue fighting.

No moisture gets in or out and it’s not sticky or clingy in the way tape and plastic wrap can be. It’s also reasonably stretchy so you can fit it over irregularly shaped openings if needed.
Kimwipes, on the other hand, are a common lab product I’ve never really understood. Seems like glorified lint-free tissue paper to me.
I get the general sense that people debate in good faith on here. I rarely see comment chains devolve into name calling and personal attacks like on Reddit.
Sometimes you come across a comment on here that seems a little whackadoodle, but even the weirdest takes I’ve seen at least includes some amount of reasoning behind a particular position. I mostly attribute these types of comments to the nerdy tech filter bubble we’re all living in.
I’m glad more and more people, from both here and on Reddit (similar discussions appear sporadically) are beginning to notice. I actually have most of these links already favorited haha.
I hope your startup pans out well. Thanks for doing your part to make the internet less terrible!
Hey thank you. I think one of the good things to come out of Google's decline is that there are now a lot more people working on the problem of search again. There is also the possible if faint promise of a different economic model for funding content online than advertising starting to show on the horizon, with a lot of the ideas around web3. Ad-tech truly does make the whole Internet awful.
It’s definitely easier for people to froth at the mouth and blame Google, but I believe that the issue of pervasive SEO is a chicken-and-egg situation.
There’s no actual incentive to produce quality and authentic content. Quantity is the name of the game in the click economy.
On the other hand, one could make the case that Google is at fault for creating the conditions necessary for this perceived decline. (dominant search engine, ad platform)
I’ve (finally) come to the realization that most websites are trying to sell me something. It’s usually affiliate link spam, or the articles provide just enough info and then ask you to sign up for their newsletter or buy their ebook or subscribe to their service or whatever other predatory monetization bullshit they’ve implemented.
I get it, websites cost money to run and providing useful information for free is a bad business model. My issue here is that Google search rewards this spammy behavior in order to maximize cash flow. And this type of thing works very well on normal non-tech-inclined people so it won’t ever go away.
I dislike Reddit’s current browsing experience, but the value of the platform has always been its smaller interest-focused communities and the ability to access the opinions of actual real humans instead of content marketers.
