Twitter for twits and E-Bay for baes

Looks like we're living our lives online and treating topics here like tweets, like the twits we are.  From spilling smoothies to removing the resulting stain and possibly later skin care for the hands after dealing with soap.

Also an eBay like second hand store for pets has opened up recently. This is all going to end in tears but perhaps we'll have a laugh when it's all over 

Still better than meaningless spam I'd say, especially the vehicular sort.  We await the Kim Kardashian and Pierre Omidyar of chess.com.  just make sure it's not NSFW (that's double negatives for ya).

Keto gummy ad spam here seems to be the latest babaji

Rather than have them reported individually perhaps the mods can just use Google search above. The on site search function is of course useless.

It's strange that I haven't noticed keto gummies in the grocery stores. Maybe I need to look harder...

That's why it's an exclusive online offer. Shipping from Nigeria probably.

I just now saw (for the second time) the one for the Oprah Winfrey weight loss gummies. This one is actually interesting. Apparently the scam has been going on for a while, and Oprah felt the need to publicly state that she has nothing to do with this stuff.

For anyone who doesn't know, a while back Oprah invested in a partial ownership of the WW Company (the new name for the original Weight Watchers company and diet). The Weight Watchers diet is a semi-starvation diet, and those type of diets never work long term. Oprah's  weight has yo-yo'd in the past, and she's currently not all that slim, if you know what I mean, Vern. So, I find it ironic that anyone would try to use Oprah's name to pitch anything related to weight loss. It's a funny world...

Well her name worked wonders for Dr oz.
