Infected Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

[TaimuRadiu]

Not when you hoard tons of it, it expires eventually.

I'm also not interested in spending $100 on a tube of face paint.

 

[YoungHustle]

Wonder if there's someone out there who wants the 2,000 year old makeup they find on Roman shipwrecks.

I do because I fully believe it’s got ground up fetuses and proto-cocaine in it.

 

[Pocket Dragoon]

I'm also not interested in spending $100 on a tube of face paint.

But...... what if it was advertised as blocking thermal & visible light signatures by using genuine jungle mud, which comes in multiple tactical mud shades, which has been tested in exotic locations around the world by special forces, and comes in personalizable tubes made from high-impact thermoset resin & alloy used in the aerospace-industry..... For Only $60*

*Discount price applicable with hidden QR code for one day only, between 1:47AM & 2:13AM ADT; normal price, three weekly installments of $100.

I can't really say anything about Cosmic Ray's now, but it always had the standard burger menu, and was the worst one of those in the park. Doesn't help that it has completely sterile theming that resembles a 90s mall food court. The only redeeming feature I remember is the audio animatronic crooner show, which is campy as all hell.

Edit: I wanted to remember why Cosmic Rays decorations screamed 90s so much to me and now I remember why. Nothing says 90s to me like fucking teal and purple decor.

Don't you say shit about my man Sonny Eclipse. TBH it's the best QS in Magic Kingdom just for that. The food is pretty standard burgers and nuggets though.

I want to take a quick detour into makeup consoomers to show off this nonsense:

Spoiler: And yes, it's a whole "trend"

A trend?

If so then I hear that excessive makeup is actually bad for your face.

Also, "makeup declutter" is an entire subgenre on YouTube:

How much of that makeup actually gets used before getting tossed out after going bad? I don't see how you could possibly need that much makeup unless you're just hoarding, can't even imagine how much money they spend because I know that makeup/skincare isn't cheap.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Over 9000 bottles of hot sauce.

Cool until you remember hot sauce doesn't last forever. A good amount of that collection is likely only worth having for the bottle and not the taste.

Do you like r/mechanicalkeyboards? Want something similarly spergy, but a lot less interesting? Introducing r/flashlight! No, I didn't misspell something else.





It's pretty much just that, flashlight enthusiasts with their own collections and memes. They even have meetups:

I know they’re consoomers on some level, but I low-key love stumbling across this kind of pure autism. I’m like crocodile hunter but for spergs. I don’t wanna hurt ‘em. Just want to observe them doing their weird, natural thing. It’s beautiful the way these freaks are about flashlights or dinobots or MREs (that subreddit is so autistic, I love it, they eat and review them even).

I feel a little guilty posting them, since they're not really doing anything bad or anything. But I'm also oddly fascinated by these groups and thought people here would appreciate 'em. Who knew they had meetups?

I have to know if they play flashlight tag or do Morse code stuff

Betting on mostly competing to make the most batshit flashlight. Or just buying the most insane kind and just seeing how far away you can blind some forest creature.

That seems to mostly be what draws in a niche crowd to the subject anyway.

 

[The Last Stand]

No one who uses them has ever seen a single second of the show but will still claim to be a fan.

...

I like the chemistry of the older women. I have gotten a couple Golden Girls merchandise as gifts. Sue me.

I recall there's an old thread here about a Youtube community that obsesses over escalators. Like they'll post videos of them riding escalators and show who makes them and review them. There's also another Youtube community focused over toilets in the same way, and probably similar ones for all sorts of everyday stuff. It's autistic as hell, but that's the sort of good autism since people like that are the sort who could easily be hard workers at installing or repairing escalators or even doing industrial design to build new ones or for the toilet guys working as plumbers (although you might not want to hire a plumber who seems cold and detatched until he starts obsessing over your toilet). I'm sure these flashlight autists could do the same and help some company design better flashlights.

You haven't done anything bad either. We have a rule of not doing anything to them, so if anyone do anything. It's on them, and we do not condone it.
We just observe them in their natural habitat.

This gave me a chuckle and is kinda cute lol

Wait, this flashlight autism actually seems interesting, compared to funkos.

Until they make the Maglite Funko (not an actual flashlight)

Plus groups like this are useful to everyone because on the off chance you have a question about flashlights or escalators or whatever it is, they will all be glad to help you for free because they love talking about it. Godspeed to them.
