Then he isn’t going to be filing a frivolous lawsuit if he chooses to sue over this. It’s as simple as that.

They do but have fun keeping your head in the sand.

His lawyer can find a way. If frivolous lawsuits can pass unabated all the time, surely so can an honest one.

Sue them. Take all of their money.

Yes, they are literally just excuses for shrinkflation and companies only benefit from shitheads like you to give them an easy out.

The world doesn’t revolve around tiny minute details and jargon from a field that doesn’t actually positively affect most people’s lives.

Our kitchen scales are the standard, not your overblown overpriced ones that are too precise to be meaningful to the average consumer.

We are in charge, not you.

🤔 Huh. I didn’t believe you until I measured it out on my own measuring spoons. You’re right. My bad fam

All that speech doesn’t change the fact that your standards don’t matter, ours do, and if our scales don’t match what that package says, you have to put more product in to make it do so or you are defrauding us. Period.

Now come back when you’re ready to meet our standards.

Well, it can’t be packaged to scientific standards, it has to be packaged to ours.

Scale accuracy was never a problem or scrutinized until ow, and successfully helped people lose weight, so it’s not the accuracy of the scales that is an issue.

This is blatant consumer fraud and nothing in your field can change that fact, clearly.

A cup is 32 teaspoons, 3 teaspoons per tablespoon, ergo 1 cup is 16 tablespoons. I know this offhand because:

1. I cook
2. I can count

It’s a base 2 measurement system for the most part. Also highly inefficient and imperfect, but so is metric for cooking.

That does not apply in today’s world where shrinkflation and consumer fraud run rampant.

It us solely the company’s responsibility to ensure each package is labeled with the correct weight, not the consumer to tolerate excuses like “measuing errors” whether they’re valid or not. Companies have too much power to just not know or be able to accurately weigh or label their product, ergo if there’s a problem, they chose to have it in there. And if you dispute that, I will simply block you and move on.

Stop defending evil corporations. Stop doing this.

I’ll take blatant consumer fraud for $500, Alex

I might save up and pick up one of the 32" ones after the holidays.

And this is why we buy dumb TVs

Blaming everything on capitalism is oversimplistic and reductive, to be honest.

Climate collapse is a result of industrialization and not capitalism, to start. Unless you want to explain how Stalin and Mao were still burning coal.

Because I refuse to give up on speaking the truth about the matter, and how corrupt the admins are, and demonstrating the very serious flaws and problems Lemmy as a platform has (there are a lot of ways people can exploit Lemmy to be a massive douche canoe, for starters).

Because truth is valuable for its own sake even if no one will listen.

People really ought to go back to separate websites and small forums, and get away from federation in general. It doesn’t do any real good.

Stupid fucking ideas.

It’s almost like federation is a stupid fucking idea that doesn’t work

It’s almost like it’s fundamentally broken and no one else wants to admit it

If they don’t, I’m out
