Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Careful with ol Ted there, all his good points were accidental, dude bombed university offices because he heard a plane fly over in the woods.
We need laws on how intrusive ads are allowed to be. Advertising is out of control. Personally, whenever I see an ad too many times, I make sure to avoid purchasing that item or anything from that company. You're trying too hard to sell me junk.
"how intrusive" ?
We need laws to ban any sort of tracking, profile generation, etc.
Bring back contextual ads. If I'm on a gaming website show me a gaming ad ffs.
Ban advertising entirely.
Vandalize ads where safe to do so.
But then line stops going up, or *shutters at the thought, it could go down
Shudders. Shutters are what people used to have in the US to get through the storms. People thought they were cool so a trend spread. Now almost every house has fake ones. Look on the sides of your windows from outside, ever wonder why that shit was screwed in beside the windows?

Ok, honest question: In a world where all advertising is banned, how do I know who makes something I want/need?
Like, is a website you find in a search result an ad? Is putting something in your local Yellow Pages an ad?
Maybe we need to qualify "No advertising" with something?
No. If you are actively searching for something, and go to a specific place that sells that thing. It is not advertising, the active party is you not them.
The problem is when the active party is the ad-networks, the trackers, the junk pushers.
If I go to a review site, for say lawn mowers, and they say hey brand 1 is great, but brand 2 is better because of 'reasons'; I am active, engaging in the process. If however, I then go to a site that is about tigers, and brand 3 pushes their ad to intrude on the tiger info....this (in my opinion) is a major intrusion into my private space.
Would you ban television commercials? Sponsored products unrelated to a YouTube video's content?
I completely agree with you. So tired of pushed garbage ads. There's just a gray area so the language of a hypothetical "law" would have to carefully considered.
Yes.
Television ads are a grey area, they don't tend to track you and follow you around in a creepy way.
Sponsored content, is in my opinion very similar to TV ads, the sponsor is the same for all viewer of the vid in a similar way to TV.

Hear hear
"You know all those fake games you keep seeing?! We turned it into a real one that you can actually play! Oh, maybe I can get this machine gun!"
Bro, stop. No. Also, fuck you advertisers.
True. Also we need to regulated the spaces that the ads can occupie. Or the possibility that "sky is a billboard" might happen becomes too high
Same here. Also if the add is : giving an horrible child candy / do they think i am stupid talking / 'real' examples
Turning everything you use into a fucking ads platform is peak capitalism. Burn it with fire.

Reason 2378 to never buy a Stellantis vehicle
Is this real? I'd jail break my car immediately if this happened.
I'd take it back and demand a full refund. This is a dangerous, irresponsible product that does not fulfil the purpose it was marketed for.

yep, the good thing about capitalism is we can now watch the capital pivot away from jeep 😃
Like when everyone pivoted away from gas stations that play ads on the screens? People will keep buying their emotional support SUVs, they don't care.
FYI, one of the eight buttons usually mutes the audio. If you press and hold the top two buttons, it goes into service mode and lets you pump gas in peace. The service mode times out eventually.
Just Stellantis doing Stellantis things.
It ain't right.
But i also don't get why people are still buying Jeeps? Most cursory search while doing research for a new vehicle should bring up red flags quick.
They wave to each other! Owners of Jeeps wave to each other, as if you say, "look we're both suckers together." Look up Jeep owners waving.
They give each other ducks....
You're making the mistake of viewing a car as a reliable means of transport and not a way to show off how cool and rugged you are.
The person you are trying to call is unavailable. Please try again later.
Somewhat related to how bad it is at that company right now:
Yesterday my brother and I drove by a brand new Jeep Wrangler (had a new car plate) that looked like a 24 or 25 that was burnt to the ground from the engine (my guess as the burning was much worse there than the cabin.) Emergency services were there still putting water on the engine bay but the ambulances were already gone. Hopefully everyone is okay.
It's a trend with jeeps. I already know 2 people that have had the burnt Jeep phenomenon
Damn, that sucks. Hope they're all okay!
Nobody was in the vehicle at the time on both occasions.
That's great news! Thank you.
It's the only way to get your money back.
