    “May help” reads as though they’re making it up on the spot

    “might clean your chimney or something idk lol”

      “Idk lol” one of my favorite laissez faire responses of all time, especially after some heinous shirlt like burning batteries. “It hasn’t been reported to hurt anyone yet but idk lol”

        How would they have known, really? This was a real tip in the very early 1900s iirc, and back then everything gave you cancer or rotted one or more of your organs. We put asbestos, lead, and radium in literally everything.

        It’s kind of a wonder that within 100 years, we managed to identify what things caused which cancer. Like at the time, your jaw would start rotting off and, looking for a cause, you could gesture broadly at everything.

          No doubt, so much shit we have done has turned out later to be extremely detrimental to our health and environment. We just have done studies about gas appliances and found it has a noticeable effect on air quality and that’s a long time using it.

          I just think “idk lol” is hilarious. Kindof reminds me of the South Park BP “we’re sorry” as he’s naked on the polar bear rug.

          Corporate fucky wuckies are funny to laugh about as a PR response to me. “We did a whoopsie doodle were sowwy”

            Oh yeah, I totally agree. That was our whole philosophy for a while, coupled with a crow-like mentality of ‘shiny thing good!’
