Fuck buying physical media, pirate digital media. It's better for the environment and your wallet.

[–] chooglers@lemmy.ml 59 points 9 months ago (4 children)

you can also steal physical media from Walmart, copy it all to a hard drive, melt down and cast the plastic into dildos and buttplugs for your own enjoyment.

Did you just tell us to go fuck ourselves?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

With the material of stolen products, yes

Don't threaten me with a good time!

Don't use Walmart-melted-plastic dildos! They're not hygienic, bacteria can grow on them! Use silicone or glass, much safer and easy to clean 👍

I... uh.

This is technically true but dear lord you should not be melting down plastic without a ventilation system.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah, that's stealing (i.e. removing), not copying.

[–] SirBucksworth@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

More like upcycling. I love buttplugs.

Fucking amen. Especially in the music scene, I've read about sooo many people going back to CD's because they got fed up with their music streaming service of choice and I'm just over here feeling like that guy at the Diablo Immortal announcement... Do you guys not have phones?

Like, these things have hundreds of gigs of storage, more than any iPod ever did, and yet almost everyone has completely forgotten about having an mp3 collection? I have about 2500 songs saved on my phone with the same or better bitrate than you'd get on Spotify premium and it's like... 25gb? I could easily quadruple my collection and still not be hurting for storage space.

Best option: Buy digital media DRM-free, as downloadable files. If possible.
