Zuck clearly put it there as a joke/Easter egg. I know it's weird, but dystopian multibillionnaires whose life's work undermines the very foundations of democracy around the world can have a (bad) sense of humor too.

[-] SlovenianSocket@lemmy.ca 93 points 1 year ago

Yes, it’s an Easter egg. Zuck did a bbq livestream like 12 years ago featuring sweet baby rays and it became a meme

[-] Neato@kbin.social 37 points 1 year ago

He probably thought it'd humanize him to be so quirky and silly!

[-] Whirlwindwanderer@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

What we can't see is it's actually "Sweet Human Baby's" Sauce

You'd think, with a few dozen billion dollars under his belt, he could afford a better writers room. How much could Conan possibly cost?

I have a sneaking suspicion that Zuck hides bottles of Sweet Baby Rays around the house and makes you chug them like a frat boy hazing with Smirnoff Ice.

[-] Steeve@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago

I was at his place one time practicing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and he cut a hole in the nipple of his shirt and insisted on breast feeding me Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce

[-] planish@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago

Deep Zuck lore.

Is there like a billionaires.fandom.com

Doubles as billionaire onlyfans too

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

Even jokes by dystopian multibillionnaires whose life’s work undermines the very foundations of democracy around the world that have a (bad) sense of humor can fail.

Surely it's just product placement, and he's made a chunk of money/a handful of souls to advertise the sauce?

[-] BeezKnuts@lemmy.world 53 points 1 year ago

It's a bit of self referencial humor. Like 15 years ago zuck did a live stream or something. On that Livestream he kept awkwardly talking about how much he loves sweet baby Ray's bbq sauce.

I think he did that because knows how detached he comes off as. He was a weirdo before he became a billionaire, and being a part of a separated class of society only made that worse. He also knows how everyone on earth thinks that he's a distrustful person. Plus he's just clearly not comfortable being on camera.

It was basically a failed attempt to come off as relatable and down to earth by sharing something that he has a passion for. Which apparently is grilling. I get it, I like grilling too. But I won't ever be tasked with trying to use that one interest I have as my entire public personality.

He tried something like that before. The reason he wears plain looking tshirts and pants is because it makes him come off as "like one of us" and that he remembers that he came from nothing like the rest of us. But then a few years ago it came out that the black Tshirts he wears costs like $400 each and so does the rest of his outfit.

  1. Why do you ask?
[-] BeezKnuts@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

You have to consider the 10 years that it took for 2019-2022 to happen.

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Sweet Baby Ray's is damn good. Stubb's is also awesome.

Do you think it might now be an in joke for all his adoring fans, lol. He doesn't seem like the type to have a plan to do this, so is it his marketing Dept trying to make him seem funny and relatable? The level of stage management seems preposterous for such a bad joke prop. Do they struggle that much to make him relatable or is Facebook just really bad at or and marketing as they don't need to be due to network effect driving their growth rather than product or traditional marketing.

This is freakishly funny. I think I need more sleep

[-] schnitzelbub@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago

Unlike Zuck who doesn't require sleep.

[-] pickle_party247@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

He does sleep- on a rock in direct sunlight

Both Musk and Zuckerberg have those lidless, reptilian eyes. Black eyes . . . like a doll's eyes. And when they come at ya, they don't even seem to be livin' . . .

Your describing the movie Jaws, that’s from Jaws!

always gotta have a spare bottle of barbeque sauce around the house, in case of emergencies

[-] simple@lemmy.mywire.xyz 9 points 1 year ago

You're telling me people don't have tactical barbecue sauce bottles strategically placed around their house for easy access for when you're eating ribs and need a little extra sauce?

2 eyes, both facing forward, 3 inches apart. You nailed it bud.

[-] MythicWolf@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

This is pretty true to life. I’m always finding my bbq bottles in random places

[-] Yewb@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I keep getting Facebook advertisements with his fucking face on it, on Facebook.
I hide it all keeps popping up

[-] socsa@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

This is the same thing Jensen did on an Nvidia stream, but with spatulas. Apparently it was an intentional social media marketing scheme.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

"smoking meats" seems like something people who cook their own food might say, I'll say that.

To go with beans

[-] Froyn@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

That's Sweet Baby Ray's. Their slogan is "The Boss is the Sauce". Did Zuck ceded control to molasses and seasonings?
