Looks like I’m spoiled for choice. Temu has exactly the same for 11.29. Not that I’d be purchasing from either place; it’s just another example of Amazon’s enshittification.

    Not to be that guy but there’s no way in hell that $700 is true. There are pages of fridges for less than $400 that are 7 cu ft.

    Here’s one for $300

    I mean, fuck Amazon and all that jazz, don’t get me wrong - I just feel like it’s worth noting the hyperbole. It’s not that bad, at least from an end consumer perspective.

    Amazon is admittedly powered by greed and the tears of the proletariat but they do a good job keeping the customer happy.

      my 2 cents… not everybody sees the same prices at Amazon… that is part of their dynamic gouging

        Just to add an anecdote… My friend is beyond millionaire as her father started a retail giant. Anyways, she has money coming out her ass and the prices Amazon shows her are almost consistently 30%-50% more than what they show me. Because they know she’s rich AF and they know I’m fairly poor.

        e: grammar

            I don’t know what kind of setup my GF’s phone had going, but she loved hands-free features like “hi Google” or whatever it was.

            I specifically remember having a chit chat verbal conversation with her on her patio while her phone was laying there… and the next day products started getting recommended to me on my phone based on that convo.

            My phone at the time was turned off and in my backpack in the house. Somehow the back end logic sewed everything together.

              I was studying classical guitar. I was practicing piece and literally YouTube video results on my PC for learning the piece before searching for it.

              Only network traffic to indicate was downloading a .PDF on my chrome browser on my phone. This was in like 2012.
