Important question - can it be used for billionaires?

If you chop them small enough

Because it gets views, and now you're inadvertently advertising for AliExpress too.

I'm really tired of the "commentary on advertisments is forbidden" people in every thread about an ad. No, this thread is not an advertisement, we're laughing at an advertisement for a weird thing we aren't buying.

Ads exist. This one is ridiculous. If you don't want to talk about it, fine, but let the rest of us have a laugh. Nobody in this comment section is about to impulse-buy a pet incinerator. This thread has no effect on AliBaba's bottom line.

No one likes a scold.

Why would anybody have so many pets they need an incinerator?!? Serial killer starter kit?

Ask PETA.

Kristi needs one for all the shot dogs.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Likely true.

could be useful for disposing of diseased small livestock, like goats, chicken and rabbits

It is for influencers.

They don't have any noise level specs. That's important in case you live in a tight housing situation. That's how I would start my search for the perfect fit for me. But sure ease of use is also important. Don't want be messing around with pilot flames and tank connections and timing buttons for the perfect char color control.

That's hilarious

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

Curious about what kind of tracking segment you need to be in to have this surfaced lol

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Can you heat your apartment with it?

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 5 days ago

Can you buy a 6 pack?
