Discrete packaging always reminds me how a bicycle company made their shipping boxes look like smart TVs so package handlers wouldn't break them.

What's even more important than discrete packaging is discreet packaging.

My Spanish autocorrect thinks it knows English better than me. It is a little confused but its heart is in the right place.

I think this needs to be asked, how well would that vehicle perform in a wind tunnel, compared to a Bulbasaur?

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Better than a jeep probably, but I think the bulbasaur still beats it.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Okay but what type of jeep? We talken Willy, Cherokee, Overco- I mean Gladiator.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What's the fugly pickup truck lookin' one called?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

Thats the Gladiator or Overcompensator as I call it. Unless youre talking about one of the real old pick ups the Cherokee sport and Wagoneer bodies are based off of.

THURSBEZORGSERVICE

It's in a foreign language so no one will know

[–] siyuze@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Thuisbezorgservice means home delivery service in Dutch :)

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

And the subtext "Wij komen altijd" means we always come and has a double meaning.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

of course it's the Netherlands!

[–] Paradachshund 1 points 5 months ago

I didn't realize Dutch had combo words like German

[–] appel@lemmy.ml 18 points 5 months ago

My time to shine! It's in Dutch, it means "home delivery service".

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Honey, the Thursbezorg man is here!

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I didn't think he was coming until Satursbezorg!

I feel like this would be a popular service for sending anonymous joke gifts.

[–] Persen@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This is an actual company, but idk if they actually have a van like this.

[–] Rednax@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

It was an aprils fools joke from the company. I found the authors website, where he showcases it as part of his portfolio: https://mauricevanberkel.nl/portfolio-tag/easytoys/ And it is documented here also: https://www.adformatie.nl/merkstrategie/1-aprilgrappen-van-merken-professioneler-dan-ooit

I ordered a sex toy once to a communal place I was living. Okay fine it was a buddhist temple.

The website said they’d use discreet packaging. NOPE. Their box was labeled and even had a logo for their company, which sells nothing but sex toys.

Their idea of “discreet packaging” was that the box was regular brown cardboard, so that anyone observing from fifty feet away wouldn’t be able to see that it was anything special.

I chewed out their support staff on the phone. For fuck’s sake.

Imagine if this one was involved in a head-on collision with a vagina counterpart.

It's the new tourism slogan!

...which makes the comma even more important than it already was 😄
