Why TF would you package an avocado?????

Veggies need no packaging or laser etching for that matter

This is cultural waste

You're preaching to the choir, but it's better than the plastic they've been using

That's weird to see avocados in packaging. In my area they just stack them on a produce shelf like onions, no packaging or lasers required

Do they have small stickers on them?

Cort ,

Fuck, I forgot about that. Good point!

But why!?

Put them in a container and label the container TESCO WHATEVER FRUIT, no lasers required.

Laser etching doesn't sound like a terrible idea.

..... The most I've seen is avocados bagged/packed as a group.

I normally see them individually.

Laser etching looks/sounds cool (especially if you do it on the damaged looking spots for less blemishes/more likely for consumers to buy); maybe save on a little sticker. You do you, just I don't know how much packaging this really saves on, unless you are like... laser etching barcodes and branding.

I've seen similar saddles advertised. This one seems to have a better design. I'd be curious to try it. And I'm a daily cyclist who doesn't have much if any trouble with saddles. Tho' I do prefer the more modern 'crotchless' designs, as it's just more comfortable to have room for one's 'bits'.

So that sounds interesting, but the design looks like something that might be hazardous some people, especially when it's really hot out...

Amazon says the most popular item ordered for drone delivery in the 'States is AA batteries.

I was expecting condoms or plan B

What if I order volatile explosives? Would they carpet bomb me?

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes

But what does it sound like?

How will it avoid my defensive drone?

If it crashes on my property are it and its contents mine?

I thought for sure that this was a joke, or that the gif of the drone sort of....pooping out that package was fake. But I found the same gif on Amazon's PR website. This has got to be the dumbest possible way to get a package delivered...

If it did it from a bit lower altitude, it wouldn't be that bad... at least for some AA batteries. And look, the package even landed with the ⬆️⬆️ arrows the right side up! (/jk)
