    Was this an actual real post or satire?

    I genuinely have no clue.

      Welcome to the 2024. This year’s presidential election will have exclusive live coverage on election night, from your official election coverage team…The Onion. No word on if they’ll still deal in satire on the night, but it is confirmed that it will be absurd.

      I think it’s just an advertisement for Snickers. Gross.

        The sign of a successful ad campaign is when the campaign itself gets satirized to continue to build on brand awareness.

    I went on chatgpt and said “Write an advertisement that plays on the fears of gen z then suggests they eat a snickers”. It returned almost the same as above.

      I worked full time through college. So much that it often interferes with the time that I needed to be spending on study. I still owe $40k.

      My ex husband who’s billionaire family paid his tuition while I paid our bills owes nothing of course.

        I worked part time through college. Summers I had two part time jobs, and a couple summers three that worked with my schedule. Started school with about 10k in savings and finished about 12k in debt.

      Continue to be thankful. I made some boneheaded choices in college which resulted in my throwing away a full ride, and I left school with like 80k in debt. Thankfully, I am much more fiscally responsible than I was academically responsible, and I managed to pay that off over the course of like 7 years (aided in no small part by the forbearance periods Biden forced through during COVID). Which is good, because more boneheaded choices were made which resulted in a significant change to my financial situation. If I were still making payments at this juncture, I would be in a position where I’d be moving back into mom’s basement just to make ends meet.

      Not that there is anything inherently shameful in that (it’s fucking hard out here, and if that’s a resource that you have available, it should not be turned away simply because of pride), but it does cause me to wake every morning pleased I didn’t listen to any “financial gurus” out there who talk about shit like “good debt”.

        Good debt is an advanced move. Most people can’t handle debt in any form.

      Well you can just buy that check mark, and I have trouble believing the advertising people at Snickers are bold enough to actually post this, so it’s probably satire

      We’re probably more likely to see a return to feudalism, with the wealthy getting worshipped as god-kings and regular folks going back to being illiterate peasants working the land for their overlords.

        I think that’s pretty much what we have now.

        The power & wealth imbalance is the same anyway.

        The wealthiest man in the world is installing a God king. It’s a perversion of democracy.
