I am at peace with why the algorithm thinks that I'd like to buy Viking clothing products, but I've noticed a *massive* uptick in dropshipped slop with runes on it lately 🙃 - ThreadSky

Are they spells to avoid tariffs?

I get Māori designed blankets and outdoors survival gear. Plus a lot of a thing called a fridge friend because I clicked on it once.

coleytangerina.bsky.social•7 days ago

I get survival gear but not the other two, and honestly, that's my own doing! Do you get homesteading, too?

awaterevalley.bsky.social•7 days ago

Soooo much homesteading. I don't know where it got the idea I want to preserve all the food my black thumb absolutely cannot grow or squeeze a bunch of chickens into my little townhouse courtyard.

In fairness I really do want the blanket but it's nearly $500 so I just look at it sometimes.

coleytangerina.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah in fairness I do want the tool that perfectly seals mason jars for storing food...

You can borrow my giant Agee kettle thingie to vacuum jars for free if you want

You too?

You're telling me you *don't* want a t-shirt with an AI-generated axe over what's actually a Celtic knot?

p-no-nwa.bsky.social•7 days ago

Apparently what I want is a cable-knit wool hoodie with a CGI wolf head with glowing eyes somehow on the front

You wanted Endless Knots, you got endless Endless Knots

What I'd actually buy is this from the incredible Isar Oakmund. But even then, I'd be seedy about wearing runes in this political climate, which I'm sure would be a bummer to my Shetland ancestors who came from an island where they've dug up 12 longships so far. https://www.instagram.com/p/DIi5SvwTNX-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Too much Viking culture worship from them o'er there. A shame, really.

There goes my Viking Longship funeral.
