This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

no this is a managerial decision. close is a simple concept (like 'bigly money') that the managerial class can understand. so they put it close

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 24 points 1 week ago

As someone who's had to design graphics with a manager backseat driving, yes.

Are you sure you want 300 characters on a business card? It wont be legible. Yes, I know it looks big on the screen, it's called zo... oh okay. And a boat in the background? But it's for an event without boats. Yep. Okay. It represents freedom and people will understand? There's your boat.

A month later someone posts a worst business card top ten list for likes and everyone blames the designer.

Yeah I think they just didn't want their brand name next to the rotten avocado.

They could place the avocado in the middle, so that it is close to both while still being "correct"

[–] Zanshi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Or halves of avocado on each side

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Also why wouldn't you put the avocado between the words. Looks weird off to the side like that.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

your eyes follow left to right and the avocado is the focus, so it's first.

So... I'll just use ordinary zipper bags.

Heat Seal vs Zipper go head to head in the ultimate wrestling match!

Be there or be square.

Maybe they're being honest? That's what happens to avocados when you put them in those plastic bags.

The product is a vacuum sealing machine. Since oxidization is the reason avocados turn brown, storing one with very little air should help a lot.

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

maybe its really bad at removing the oxygen

so bad, it adds more than there was previously

ANNIHILATED

Or, now hear me out, I can use the ziper seal anyway and save 80 bucks on an appliance I'll never use.

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can't get a good vacuum seal with a regular ziplock bag.

Food will last longer properly sealed.

I've never needed to keep an avocado long enough to require vacuum sealing, but if keeping food fresher longer is important to you, a vacuum sealer will do better than a ziplock.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago

i mean you can get a pretty decent vacuum by just sucking the air out of a regular plastic bag, twisting up the loose end, and putting a separate clip on it. Plus that's way more reusable.

Avos are like people, even tho some look fine on the outside there is brown shit inside.
