My fortune cookie had an ad for napster in it. This is hands down the worst time to be alive
Avatar
napster still exists? or is the cookie that fucking old?

I think the answer might be both 😓

So you see that is really a $32.97 Cookie!!! 🥅

that’s a chunk of change, but i wouldn’t call it a fortune, really.

Unless you're the person selling the cookies..im sure they bring great fortune 😁

Napster still exists in the same sense that Sunbeam and Craftsman and Whole Foods still exist.

The brand “Napster” has changed hands so many times it’s like a running joke in 30 Rock.

kinda surprised it’s not been absorbed by like spotify or something
Avatar
It's what's left of Rhapsody / listen dot com. It may have absorbed a couple other failed streaming music services as well. I think it exists independently of Spotify because hardware manufacturers find it a better partner than Spotify / Google Music / Apple Music. Deezer's the European equivalent.

many major reasons why I feel like societal collapse is possible, and though this is not one of them, it is still powerful enough to fill me with serious dread and despair. very important finding, andy.

im not even kidding when i say this is a reason societal collapse is possible, when every moment of every thing has to be monetized
Avatar
this is the exact thing rendering every service unusable or at the very least unappealing, and indicates running out of places to exploit for growth and if that isnt a herald of collapse i dont know what is

Good news and bad news: The good, you're apparently back in the year 2000, you have an opportunity to prevent 9/11 The bad, whatever you've tried so far hasn't worked

Capitalism is responsible for many evils, but monetizing the fortune cookie is a shocking development.
Avatar
to be fair the fortune cookie has always been monetized, its not even really a chinese thing so much as senbei filtered through selling chinese and japanese food to early 1900s americans. It does feel real bad to see it bastardized into selling Napster instead of cutesy fortunes tho.

IIRC, they originated in San Francisco's Chinatown.

In China they call them Japanese Cookies.

This looks like a curse cookie not a fortune cookie.

Yeah, but in name only. It's just a regular music streaming service nobody heard about.
