not just cheaper though

even subconsciously $15.55 will not be that better than $15.56

but in a change from $20 to $19.99 the whole first number is smaller, and that gives our ape brains the feeling that it's not as expensive

to reveal the vibes your brain operates on, think about bigger numbers. Imagine yourself to be in kind of a rush, you want to buy something, but family is waiting, or you need to walk your dog, or maybe you're doing shopping before work, regular life stuff,

first scenario

an identical item is sold for $2920 in the first store you visit, and for $2970 in the second store you visit. The stores are an inconvenient travel time away from each other. Do you go back to the first store?

second scenario

now, an identical item is sold for $2975 in the first store you visit, and for $3025 in the second store you visit. The stores are still an inconvenient travel time away from each other. Do you go back to the first store?

though the difference is still $50, the jump from $2975 to $3025 feels more significant than $2920 to $2970. And obviously many of us will go back to get the cheaper option in both cases, but there's a lot of people on this planet who have money to spare but not the time, and a lot of other circumstances too, marketing people know it and will do their damnest to sway you to buy their product

i'm baffled by people who use one drive, especially in its default setting where it saves all your shit in the cloud. Even if they have a perfectly stable Internet 24/7, do they not feel weird having a company keep their files on some drive they'll never see? do they even know this is what's happening?

maybe most bones but all that is needed to raise suspicion is one uneaten human bone in your pig pen - case of a woman who fed at least one person to her pigs

many consider it a weed. always make sure to plant your mint in a pot (even if you want it in your garden just bury the pot with a little bit of the edge sticking out), do not plant it directly in dirt, though if you do, you'll never again not have mint in your garden! and your neighbours' gardens too! :D

yea the motivation was good (story telling wise), but the time it took him to become corrupted was just too fast. Even if in universe it took longer than a couple of days, on our screen the whole arc was maybe 15 minutes

some bacteria good, some other bacteria bad

i'm still so mad about that story line. 3 films worth of plot and it feels like George forgor that Anakin has to become Darth Vader at the end. So he fast forwarded a whole corruption arc, which then made Anakin look like a moron who got swayed to the dark side and abandoned his moral compass & all his friends in the span of days because some clearly dodgy guy told him "you see the Jedi council Anakin? they're hiding something,,, clearly the most optimal path forward is to become evil, go kill some children"

he attac people with dust allergies, with his poop (i am not kidding)

oh so the creature who's shit i'm allergic to is fucking immortal yeah? cool, great

waaaaayyyyy less grindy/waity than graveyard keeper
