this is bullshit lol
the best case scenario is that they’ll improve the efficiency of their advertising so that 1% more people dream about it.
:so-true: finally, we’re one step closer to building the torment nexus.
Tired workers plans to use “7.62x39mm” to stop advertisements in their dream.
Make sure the shouty end is pointed away from you. Preferably toward advertisers
Instructions unclear, I now have several large chunks of lead inside of my torso. what now
All they really need is to get the logo into your dream somewhere. That way, when you’re at the grocery store the next day and you get this weird sense of deja vu as you walk past the Pepsi aisle, you stop and consider it. You don’t have to buy it - before now you weren’t even thinking about it. You didn’t have a decision to make, and now you do. That’s their first victory.
So now each time you pass the Pepsi aisle, you’re more likely to go through this same thought process: huh, I wonder if that Pepsi stuff is actually any good, should I buy a Pepsi?
When faced with this decision hundreds of times a year in grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants and so on, they’re eventually going to catch you on a day when you need the caffeine or you’re feeling thirsty or you’re just really craving some syrup water. Once you’ve bought the damn Pepsi, you are significantly more likely to buy more of the damn Pepsi. Not everyone has to become a Pepsi consumer as long as the brand takes up space in the public subconscious.
Also, the reason I used Pepsi as an example? That Suicidal Tendencies song. I didn’t realize it until the end of the post, but the entire time there was a voice in the back of my mind screaming “All I wanted was a Pepsi! Just one Pepsi, and she wouldn’t give it to me!”
So I guess that sort of proves my point. I don’t drink Pepsi, but count how many times I’ve typed the name this morning. And now I’ve done it to you, too. When you go to the store next, some part of you will remember this conversation. Sorry about that, comrades… Drink water, stay hydrated.
lucky for me I don’t dream in enough detail for this to be possible. everything looks like it’s solid and there but if I stop and look closely, I can’t actually tell what’s written on signs or resolve the texture of grass.
god this shit is dystopian.
it’s a coverage thing - they’ve already gotten advertising onto every surface while you’re awake so the time you’re asleep is the only undisturbed opportunity left.
I will drink 9 pots of coffee and die from exposure before I let these mfs make me watch an arbys commercial in my sleep
