krashmo: Wow.. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. It made my reddit poop quite a bit more interesting.

Get the Reddit Poopmug. "This product seems good. It's got a perfect 5 stars, might as well buy it now. Also, did you see this latest counterfeit scam?"

Get the fakespotmug. A poor and thinly veiled attempt by internet service providers to keep costs down and limit services by blaming users for using "too much bandwidth", despite receiving billions in government subsidies meant to expand and improve national internet infrastructure, but which were instead maliciously pocketed by internet service executives.
Customer: "How the fuck am I over my monthly data cap?"
Internet Service Representative "If you would just look right here in the contract you signed, we can arbitrarily fuck you over by making up whatever numbers we want. And we don't care if we get caught because whatever penalties we pay is a tiny fraction of the profit we make from our illegal schemes."

Get the Data Capmug. Tentacle porn where the victim or victims are willing participants, thus giving consent for sexual intercourse with said tentacles

Get the Consentaclesmug. A person or persons whose sole reason for existing is to ensure maximum productivity from workers while paying them poverty wages.
American Workers: My productivity has risen 150% since Reagan's inauguration in 1981, but wages only went up 10%. I can't afford a house even if I got 10 years of wages on the spot and even the cost of an ambulance ride could make me homeless.
Middle Management: Too bad so sad. All the value from your productivity went into executive bonuses. Did you know? Bonuses are to be paid to upper management first, and then to workers if there's anything left over (hint: there isn't). That's the definition of a bonus as defined by Reagonomics.

--American one lost paycheck away from homelessness
"American Exceptionalism is the best! I can pay my workers poverty wages, and they won't even do anything about it because they don't know any other way of living! Let's make sure things stay that way."
--American Billionaire

Get the American Exceptionalismmug. A person who discounts or ignores societal or environmental problems because they believe that intelligence and technological prowess make humanity exempt from the natural processes that govern other species.
Also, a person who defers accountability to others.
Also, a person who defers accountability to others.
Exemptionalist: The earth, environment, and all life are disposable in the wake of humanity. Population growth? Good for the economy. Species going extinct? Not to worry. That is nature's way. Think of humankind as only the latest in a long line of exterminating agents in geological time. Besides, if we have to destroy a rainforest, we are smart enough to place another one somewhere else. If we have to witness the extinction of a species, we are smart enough to create breeding programs. Resources? The planet has more than enough resources to last indefinitely. It always has and it always will. The fact that industrialization is destroying environments faster than anything humanity has ever seen doesn't change this fact. Don't worry. Be happy!
Environmentalist: The fate of mankind is closely knit to the well-being of biodiversity and the environment. Food is becoming more and more scarce and will worsen when the melting ice caps and rising ocean levels decrease arable land. We exhaust resources at a much faster rate than they can be replenished. We cause the extinction of species faster than they can be created. Destruction or degradation of biodiversity is irreplaceable because there is so much intricacy that we still don’t know. Millions of plants and animals die with deforestation that, unknowingly, may have been life-saving for humanity. Humanity must work to save the planet, and in doing so we save ourselves.
