They found multiple complaints from different people, at some point we have to accept his copper was bad
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Did they ever find contrary comments giving praise to his copper? What's the ratio of likes vs dislikes? They shoulda invented Yelp thousands of years earlier.
One never got his copper, and another said he was tired of receiving bad copper.
No positive reviews survived, if there were any
1.2/5 stars would not place order for copper ingots again
To be fair, if people acted back then more or less as they do now, they'd be more inclined to leave a negative review than a positive one. All the more so considering the effort involved in writing, the skills and materials needed to write, were rarer back then, and the effort just to transmit the message after it was written would not be trivial, either.
Nanni wasn't the only one, just the most famous.
Like, we found Ea Nasir's house, and it was filled with evidence that at one time he was trustworthy, and then just went to shit.
Like, we know ~5 other customers of his by name because they also left written records about him not delivering or cheating in other ways.
It wasn't a one off thing.
at one time he was trustworthy, and then just went to shit.
Enshittification has been around for a very very long time.
Maybe it was the equivalent of a competitor making a bunch of fake one-star Yelp reviews.
I read a history blogpost claiming that Ea-Nasir was a patriotic (but hot-tempered) man who carried on trying to sell his home town's copper long after they had mined out the good deposits.
Upon reading his Wikipedia page, it seems that we likely didn't really get him wrong. Not too wrong, anyway.
Yeah he was the first scrapper. Probably stole that copper from a defungled monument.
