More than inflation, I have a deep and impassioned hatred for shitflation.

I’m happy to pay 2x premium for a product if I know it’s really built to last a lifetime, but because we live in nihilistic fiat ripoff society it’s damn near impossible to find great products that are built to last. It suck to have to replace shit every 5 years that should last a lifetime.

Good call. Just recently, I had a bathroom fan in my office building die. It is the original fan, it last approx 64 years! And it's on a lot. It had a lifetime warranty from Dayton. They honored it. The new one has a 3 year limited warranty... Same fan, same company. I'll 100% guarantee we d...

They purposely design them to be useless within a year or two. Fuck shrinkflation too. $3.79 for a16.9oz drink like I wasn’t paying 99 cents for a 20oz most of my life.

Bitcoiners will bring quality back. If you're trying to earn someone's Sats, you will HAVE to make a quality product. 🫡

The worst part is how it’s conditioned people to expect things to just get shittier in quality

That, and planned obsolescence

Every time I buy a new tool or product for work I start by looking at the most expensive options and look at the differences all the way down. Usually the premium brand is around 2-4x the cheapest Amazon option but it's almost always worth it in longevity/durability/functionality.

same! Would also love if I could replace the cussion on my chair, but you have to buy a whole new one..

Wait till all the mcmansions start falling apart... Those steaming piles of garbage are never gonna last.

This is actual environmentalism

Zapped in agreement, this pisses me off equally. Engineering resides in longevity, not disposibility.

For some lazy ass reason I didn’t check nostr for a month. God I missed your posts!

So true. A lot of things aren’t built to last like they used to.

the other day i got a new box of peanut butter egg rolls. i buy them every year to hand out as gifts and eat at home "oh interesting! new packaging" tastes the same (thankfully) but now 15% shorter 😮‍💨 ferroro-rocher started to include QR codes on their wrappers "huh, thats strange.... w...

Printers man…. Printers 😖🔫

My thoughts exactly after a recent visit to a famous Swedish furniture wholesaler .

Same here mate, my little boat is built solid, 50 years old and easily has another 50 in her

I honestly think we’re at the point where you’re looking closer to 4-5x the price tag if you’re looking for sturdy products that will hold up. Just depends on when you’re comparing the price of the product from. This is the fucked up part- From a buying power standpoint things have actually...
