      You need to buy $BBY1 coin (to the moon!)

      It’s a crypto token which incentivizes whole babies by pegging the value of the coin to the proportion of half babies. When a baby is cut in half, the value drops, so owners are incentivized to ensure babies are kept whole by entirely free market forces!

          I hate it for the blatant grift that took it over.

          Doge coin should always be worth less than a sheet of toilet paper because it’s meant to be a joke, that people unironically invested in it is the problem.

          Blockchain is neat, but I still think utility is low.

        So, I understand where the babies come from, but where does the Battle for Yavin factor in, and why are we marking our currency as Before it?

      Pretty sure it’s a weird “National Pharmacies” ad campaign, from Australia. I guess the fact I know this means it’s worked somewhat.

      Edit: Here’s another version of the ad.

          All the adjacent windows have various minor ailments and phrases like “fix this? Treat that?” It’s trying to give an idea of what chemists can do for you.

          In Aus chemists (pharmacists) are medical professionals, capable of providing medical advice and minor treatment, but a lot of people don’t consider going to the chemist for anything other then buying specific medicine (or for some reason, perfume or most egregiously, homeopathy).

          And in case you’re still confused, the baby is crying (implied for medical reasons like colic)

        Thanks although this doesn’t help me comprehend it at all lol. Why does it just say “stop this?”
