Yeeaahhh about that, I don't think they're joking

I didn't think they were either. But did you read the whole article? The part about opting out seems completely ludicrous. Now I realize this timeline is pretty fucking ludicrous as it is. But I don't know that just didn't sit with me as the truth.

Please don’t give them ideas.

Today's April fools joke is tomorrow's "Innovation." I wouldn't bet against something like this actually getting implemented.

Taco Bell has consistently outbid actual spouses, with the company's mascot appearing in 94% of honeymoon albums.

damn... my honeymoon albums are such that this is pics of my wife doing chihuahua bestiality. At least this will help me in divorce.

Boring April fool's joke. Not even a single example picture or did my adblock remove them?

[–] peto@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, hides as in 'secretly places them' rather than 'removes'.

This raises a good question, instead of blocking ads could we get this sort of replacement? Insert og borderlands, GTA, cyberpunk ads in place of known symbols. We need some ai shit shovelers on the side of good.
