There was a subreddit called HailCorporate for when people accidentally post ads that they made themselves. Like we hear so much advertising that we start internalizing it and end up basically thinking and talking in ads.
Of course it kind of typically devolved into accusations of intent, but I always thought it was a neat idea. Does life imitate art or the other way around type of thing?
Thanks for listening.
I didn’t realize Siri and the cats were conspiring. Yesterday I went into the living room to investigate a ruckus and found one of my cats sitting on the couch while the home pod in the window sill was playing Mumford and Sons.
This started in 2011, when cats killed Jobs. Tim Cook is not a real person but a mere avatar operated by cats.
Better check your order history lol
"Palette of tuna? One gross order of feathers on a stick? Premium, Extra Fancy catnip?
– Oh good, nothing amiss here!"
This seems to be an advertisement
My brain somehow didn’t grasp that I had never heard of a Homepod before, then when I saw your comment I had to think back and was like “wait a second, Siri? That’s not google or Alexa” and I had to reread to understand.
Anyway all to say, I’m tired and not reading well but their advertising must be pretty shit if this is the first ad I’ve ever seen for it.
So for all of apple’s design faults, I genuinely think this might have been intentional because it feels like the venn diagram of Apple software engineers and cat owners is more like a circle.
