    not only ai slop, also body shaming

    source
  • Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It’s not about how much weight the plane carries so much as flight attendants doing overhead lifting and the risk of one falling out of the overhead locker. Source, I’m on the internet and you read it

      Actually it’s about charging people extra as often as you can.

      source
    • BussyCat@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It’s both, weight starts to become a bigger deal when you factor in that you have to keep it in the air for thousands of km. If airlines could charge people by weight they would in a heartbeat

      It isn’t “slop”. This image is magnitude more quality than most people are able to draw.

        if you made a shitty hand drawing, even in the old mspaint, the thing would be funnier.

        do you think wojack and rage comics were popular for their artistic craftsmanship? or because they seemed relatable as they were apparently made with little skill or effort?

        it’s been trained on art stolen from people who can draw orders of magnitude better than this

    Downvoted not because of AI but because you didn’t even bother to remove the piss filter.

    This actually makes a lot of sense. It shouldn’t be about fat shaming, but you cant ignore reality and you should make rules based on it. People with normal weight shouldn’t be punished.

    • PussButton@lemmy.org ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      They aren’t punished tho.

      source
      • nebulaone@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        They are, because they are allowed to bring less total weight onto the plane.

    Judging by the comments, this is the perfect shitpost. Thank you for the smiles.

    or just drive instead, and bring as much luggage as you want. without paying extra. on your own schedule. and not inhaling 50-100 people and their kids’ disgusting plague germs.

    god, fuck literally everything about flying

    • IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      every long journey should be available with trains (if on land).

  • PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It’s for the safety of the people handling the luggage, not for the weight of the plane

    source
    • remon@ani.social ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Then how do you explain the 8kg weight limit for carry on? Who is endagered by 9kg luggage? And it’s not even handled by the staff.

      source
      • zxqwas@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        The overhead compartments have a weight limit because they must be designed to keep the stuff in there during an emergency.

    So should skinny people pay less for clothes?

    source
    • remon@ani.social ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I don’t see the problem with pricing clothes depending on how much material was used.

      source
      • mEEGal@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        the difference in price would be so small you wouldn’t even care

        the price of your clothing is mostly supply chain “middle-men” taking their share, not the source material nor the people actuality bringing it to shape. especially with synthetic materials

        if it weren’t true (i.e. if the material actually cost that much), stores wouldn’t literally destroy / trow away brand new pieces clothes just to “refresh” every couple of weeks

    • fushuan@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I already pay more for my clothes, namely because only specific brands have my sizes. So yeah, my partner pays way less for clothing. Same with shoes, I have a 48eu and I'm forced to buy expensive brands just because, while my partner can buy cheaper shoes with waaay more choices.

      What's your point?

      source
      • Noite_Etion@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        That for the exact reasons you listed clothes should cost the same for everyone. You don’t charge bigger people extra for seating on a plane, and you shouldn’t charge people based on clothing sizes.

    I got very lucky flying this year, always ended up next to an empty seat or even an entire empty row. Until the last flight. middle seat between two very American sized women which were partially spilling over into my seat.

    Thank god it was just a 30 mins flight.

    Ever thinking of fat shaming?

    source
    • nebulaone@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Obesity is a curable disease that people are self responsible for. Drug addicts are shamed and no one cares. Even peoples height (which they have zero control over) is shamed and no one bats an eye. Im not saying you should be rude to overweight people, but there are ridiculous double standards.

      source
      • Mickey7@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Obesity is responsible for many dying much earlier than the normal life span. Though many here want to deny it. If you care about a person who is obese you wouldn’t tell them you’re fine and no need to lose weight. BUT if you encounter obese people you should never say anything about their appearance. And no smirks or dirty looks either. You have no idea what is going on in their life that got them to this point. The cruelest think is supporting an obese person by telling them it’s just fine. It’s no different then telling an obviously anorexic person that they look great and aren’t too skinny

        I don’t shame addicts or small or large people either. I only shame those, who find it funny to shame others.

        Many people care, and why would that make it okay?

        counterpoint, fat shaming exists and is just as prevalent (probably more so) than heigh shaming. Another note: The countries with the highest amount of obesity are also the countries with the least amount of regulation and taxes on food processing. Just the same how the countries with the highest rates of drug problems are the ones who don’t focus on rehabilitation and prevention as much as criminalization.
