Nobody: "We need a 'nobody:' in there!"

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago

Im pretty sure some people said that

If not, are all the memes with "nobody: " in them werent made by anybody and that is the signature?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I was being hyperbolic. The original usage is completely incorrect, because if nobody said nothing, then everybody said something.

I only know of one that does that: Tony's Chocolonely.

[-] Tagger@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago

and they've got a pretty good justification for it too

It represents the inequality in the chocolate industry.

Why are your bars unequally divided?

It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 180g bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon.

That's awesome!

Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut)

lol

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 19 points 1 week ago

That makes them even more awesome in my book. Thanks for that link.

[-] Hemi03@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

can they do that and make it so i can brake pieces of, without shattering the whole thing. I wont eat those big ass pieces and i dont want to break my hand trying to divide them.

If I have to get a knife out to eat my chocolate bar it's already become more hassle than it's worth.

They could have rectangles and squares of uneven sizes that still have normal break lines, they choose not to. Heck they could even have triangles that break neatly if they really wanted to by putting a diagonal line down some squares or rectangles.

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I mean if you’re eating it in pieces instead of the whole thing you already need to put the thing away….

Buy smaller bars then. The situation has remedies…

They seem pretty cool!

Unfortunately I can't eat them, since the one thing they can't seem to certify on is gluten... May be pretty good gifts though.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Nah. You can be pro reform without being silly and impractical. This may be the reason they do it, but it doesn't justify the impracticality of it.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I think the different sizes are neat. You get to choose how much you want to eat.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

A grid configuration also allows you this choice in a reproducible fashion.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

Yeah but it's less fun

[-] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Maybe? It doesn't really seem that big a deal to me, I still like getting their bars.

Slavery!

That’s why it’s the color that it is

Edit: my bad, I guess it’s shaped like the coast of Africa

[-] ddplf@szmer.info 4 points 1 week ago

sooo... Slavery!

[-] match@pawb.social 11 points 1 week ago

fucking love chocolonely. the random bar shapes give my mouth good feels

Just bought some more Tony's today!

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

[Internet High-Five] Yah, tony's is great.

[-] SuperApples@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Cadbury's Marvellous Creations range has been doing it for about 10 years, but I've only seen them in Australia and SE Asia (assumigly sold in UK, too).

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

Cadbury Bubbly does it too, though sadly I haven't seen any of it on shelves (apart from the mint variant, eww) for a few years.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 43 points 1 week ago

Is Lemmy now that popular that people start posting disguised ads?

[-] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I don't think there are that many ads, even if there were you could easily get rid of them by buying my cool Lemmy adblock that uses AI to recognize clever product placement and cover it up with a picture of dirt!

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

really? we can't allude to anything now? oh no someone referenced a movie, they must be working for the studio!

I'd really appreciate it if we kept Lemmy without the miserable grumpy cat that is r/hailcorporate just running around accusing people of shilling for literally mentioning anything in any context whatsoever.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Maybe comes from the recent chocolate post and OP found it in their folder of 'stolen memes'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

Name checks out

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

Nobody does nothing?

"companys?"

Get this shit outta here

[-] CoolMatt@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Man, I've never understood this nobody meme and it seems nobody is even able to explain it.

Is this a loss meme?

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Haven't seen that before but, I am okay with this.

Make it a Nautilus spiral or fractals and I could theoretically have endless chocolate.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 7 points 1 week ago

I genuinely can't fucking stand this. It never breaks away cleanly and it just makes it annoying to share because the pieces are all different sizes

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

You just need a basement full of Oompa Loompas, then you don't need predetermined breaking points on your chocolate and could enjoy it entirely.
