Someone needs to send this to that guy in the Comic Strips community who keeps cropping out artists’ signatures because he thinks they’re “ads”.
He hates ads so much.
Very strange individual, even by Lemmy standards.
he’s a real one (not for cropping the artist tho, thats too much lol)
A real piece of work more like.
my bad, it was the first i’ve heard of him haha
In some cases he has used AI to remove watermarks. It changed other details of the comic. Pretty gross.
Now I want a cool, refreshing Coca-cola. This post was the real ad all along.
No tracking URL in the message, it’s fake. Just some dude DMing people with a fake ad he wrote, probably as a joke that’s really only funny to them.
Look at your calendars, y’all.
I’d straight up report them to the instance admins for that shit
i will have to dm them, the client i use (blorp) doesnt have a report or block button for some goddamn reason
I’m the blorp dev. I added a comment to your post with block instructions. Sorry for the confusion.
youre awesome
According to the modlog they were banned already for “DM Spam”
Report it to the admin of programming.dev?
Send it to the admin(s) of the instance. I’m sure they don’t want to host that bullshit.
I got the same thing, solid April Fool’s trolling!
Sounds like you’re salty. You know what’s not salty? New Coke. Catch the Wave.
That’s awful… Sounds like you could use a pick-me-up, and nothing beats the crisp, invigorating taste of an ice-cold Coca-Cola!
Coca-Cola tastes like shit, change my mind
I got the same thing, but assumed it was because I made a comment yesterday about the brand in mention, and this is someone’s idea of an April Fools joke?
Yeah not in the best taste, but everything today should be taken with a grain of salt
ads are not, and never willl be funny
The joke I’m pretty sure was “Wouldn’t it be weird if we had ads here”, it’s cool man, no one got hurt, it was a joke. If it happens tomorrow I’ll be upset.
you can have your opinion, but it’s offensive and tone deaf for most of us
Christ, you’re offended by me saying it was a joke that no one got hurt by? The most you were inconvenienced was hitting delete, and that offended you? That’s your bar for offense there. One joke ad hitting your inbox one time offended you. This is why we’re made fun of, this right here, why people say we can’t joke anymore and this gives them credibility in that statement. There will always be someone who cannot simply move on. It always has to be a big thing that personally offended you.
idk about you, but every time i have an ad shoved in my face i’m reminded that i am not human, but just another source of extracting money to feed to billlionaires. it is soul crushing, god forbid i react to it…
oh and i meant the ads are offensive, not your comment. sorry i worded it badly
Yeah, but Coca Cola is the best taste. Doesn’t need to be taken with a grain of salt—even today. There’s nothing quite like the crisp, invigorating taste of an ice-cold Coca-Cola. Each sip delivers a perfect balance of sweetness and sparkle, dancing across your taste buds with a refreshing burst that instantly lifts your mood. Whether you’re sharing moments with friends or taking a well-deserved break, Coca-Cola brings a timeless sense of joy and satisfaction. It’s more than just a drink-it’s a classic experience, chilled to perfection and made to be enjoyed anytime.
oh man watch out, you might be posted about here on mildlyinfuriating
Yeah, I should probably chill with that
…made easier by having a crisp, invigorating glass of an ice-cold Coca-Cola.And Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is no joke. Zero Sugar in every can. Share a Coke with a friend today
Except aspartame and sucralose tase like ass.
As a daily Original Coke drinker; Diet Coke and Coke Zero both make me gag. I’ve tried several times, I can’t finish a can of either.
I’m not a huge coke fan I just like how it smells.
Even worse that the lazy ad programmer used AI to write the stupid ad. Society has failed.
Yeah, especially those members of society who can’t read today’s date.
Damn, you should buy a pepsi
Holy shit, I was just wondering how to vent about this shit. I vow that I will NEVER drink that dumbass drink ever again. This type of advertising gives me a personal grudge that, god forbid I ever have children, I will pass down through my fucking bloodline.
I mean, I don’t actually want to talk you out of your vow there, but I’m fairly confident this was from a random troll with no affiliation to the actual company. Now I don’t doubt they’d do it if they thought it would be profitable, but even if they did foolishly think this would work, I’d be shocked if we’re even on their radar.
It’s not real, you can calm down.
My life has already been irreparably altered. The plan is in motion. It is too late.
