Ah, yes, railing against the commenters who are kindly going out of the way to explain something for you instead of OP who posted and wrote the thing. That’s the only dementia I’m seeing right now.
Comment on Would you like to finance your hot chocolate with a loan set at 69% apr?
Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 day agoSo, some things are more expensive than others? That’s an insane financing scheme for you? And that’s a meme?
My god, this is a whole nother level of dementia, even for Lemmy

You did a pretty good job of pretending to post in good faith I must admit

I think you misunderstood me. A price disparity for the same item and insane financing schemes are both byproducts of capitalism, not byproducts of each other.

If you like to pay more for the exact same amount and quality of goods, then I believe I have a bridge to sell you.

The point is that the Kid’s Hot Chocolate and the Small Hot Chocolate are literally the same item, but the “Small” is a dollar more
It’s not a larger amount, it’s literally the same amount and the app even tells you this

In the case of the meme, the item which is more expensive is the same item marketed differently. As in, exactly the same item. The insane financing scheme is referencing a popular pizza chains “pay it in 4” for a pizza order, which is both similarly comical and malicious. Both things prey on time-poor, tech-illiterate, or uneducated users to increase profit margins without needing to improve or adjust the service or goods being provided.
