Tbf some of these brands get so tied to the product that people forget that that’s just the brand and their not the only ones who make that product. I’ve been bothered before by people calling any suv a Jeep whether it was a Jeep or not, but on the other hand I didn’t know that Dremel was a company until embarrassingly recently.

Eh, I’m a pragmatic guy, I was neutral about Crocs until I tried them on, I definitely don’t like them. First, I don’t like the footbed texture, it’s just not for me. Second, the shape of the shoes doesn’t match my feet at all, and because it’s foam it can’t really conform either, so it doesn’t feel much more secure or comfortable than wearing the shoebox. If I want comfy and easy, then I have my slides, flipflops, and sanuks that are all much more comfortable for me
Of all the instruments, I have a hard time believing that humanity could’ve managed to avoid inventing percussion instruments. You literally hit anything against anything.
Reminds me of that exchange in Chicken Run

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•the wall street journal today literally asking "but what do dead kids mean for the GDP?"English
3·6 days ago“There’s” is at least easier to say and is only a grammar issue, English has always been really flexible about grammar. The “literally” thing is lexical, they just straight-up turned a useful word into a decorative but meaningless one. Now I always have to ask people if they mean “literally” literally, only I can’t know if they’ll answer me correctly because if they’re misusing “literally” then they probably don’t know the literal definition of “literally”. It’s insidious!

This dude in the stands in front of them overheard and is like wtfuck.
